I like macaroni salad once in a while, but I don’t like making it (I would think I’m not alone in this??). Thankfully, Walmart Deli carries a very decent version of this salad, always fresh and not expensive. I recently bought a large, 4 lb plastic container of it, …

We bought a box of toaster pastries from the brand Family Pantry the other day and have been having them for breakfast the past two days. I have to say, they are some of the crappiest toaster pastries we have ever had.
These, of course, are a generic version of …

I discovered this great healthy snack some years ago when I was still active at the gym. It was in a supermarket beside the gym, and at the time I
had vowed to not only cut my calories, but eat healthy as well. My only guilt after that though was …

One of my duties to my family during the preparation of the holiday meals is to make sure that we have a really special dessert. My family usually carefully reviews and rates the desserts served on the table, and when I choose a dessert that fails, it makes me …

The first time I …

This is the first sweet snack I got to taste from Oishi. I was looking for cereal for our breakfast and then I found it. It looks different because they make a snack out of cereal and it uses chocolate as the coating. It also claims to contain Iron …

I am writing this review as I munch away on the finished results of this product. Betty Crocker peanut butter cookie mix is absolutely fantastic, and oh so easy to prepare. For US $1.50 you can make 3 dozen peanut butter cookies. You can’t make home made cookies for …

I drink coffee. About twice daily or less, not much compared to those coffee lovers. I can only drink them when they’re cold and iced, can’t have them if they’re hot or warm or in between, they must be cold and iced. Okay, enough about my …

A friend of mine who is big on nutrition introduced me to these fiber bars and I decided to give one a try. The dark chocolate is incredibly delicious and the fact that one bar is loaded with almonds is even better. The combination flavor of dark chocolate and …

I love Crystal Chocolate Milk, but it’s just not sold as widespread as it used to be when I was child. In fact, I only know of one place where I can buy it now, and that means making a special trip just for it, which I often …

I have always known that Virgin Coconut Oil has a lot of health benefits but I simply was unable to find a brand that could give me real good tasting one. Most of those I tasted gave me rancid taste that I could not take. One time though, …

The Republic of Tea is known for making high-quality teas in a variety of natural flavor combinations. Blackberry Sage is a black tea with layered notes of blackberries and sage leaves. It seems an
unlikely combination of ingredients, but this delicately-flavored, all-natural tea is delightful by itself, in the morning, …

One chocolate brand which I think is older than I am is Baby Ruth. I grew up seeing my Mom biting this candy bar oftentimes and from her did I learn to like Baby Ruth too. When I see my mother unwrapping a bar, I’d run to her …

While a vast majority of people in America would likely be able to identify what a Twinkie is, I suspect quite a few of these people would be surprised to learn that the Twinkie is fast approaching its one-hundred year milestone. In just fifteen years from now, the Twinkie …

One day I was looking at recipes on the internet and I came across this maple nut cake with maple butter frosting. I was immediately saddened that I could not try this recipe as my country does not yet import the McCormick Imitation Maple Extract that both recipes called …

I was at our local grocery store a few days ago and, as I often do, I took a few minutes to check out the specials in the meat department. As it turns out, they had bags of Johnsonville Classic Italian-Style Meatballs on sale for $5.99.
We use frozen meatballs …

Two nights ago, I dropped …

I picked up a one and a half pound clam-shell package of Sun Belle blueberries on my last trip to Costco. These berries are from Sun Belle Berries out of Santiago, Chile.
I’ve been trying to eat more fruit lately and sprinkled on cereal and just eaten plain, these blueberries …

I love my snacks and of course sweet snacks. Sweet snacks don’t necessarily mean candy bars or chocolates, but it can actually mean one of my other favourite snacks to have…wafers. I have tried and tasted so many different wafers before and another one that has been added to …

I like all different kinds and brand of Pizza’s. It is more Meaty Pizza’s that I tend to go for as I like them better than plain Cheese Pizza’s and this range of Pizza’s are that bit different to other Pizza’s that I have tried. I’m not keen on …

Occasionally I love to have a good old school dinner type pudding like sponge cake and custard so I tried this product from Tesco’s own range. A box of two Spotted Dick Sponge Puddings cost only about £1 and each sponge includes custard too. On the box, …

I love the taste of these little sausages and I tend to buy them once the air outside grows cool and nippy. There’s nothing better on a cold day than a meal prepared with some Little Smokies to add some extra flavor. I guess a lot of people use …

Jell-o Instant Pudding - Pistachio is a scrumptious and flavorful variety that really does a number on my taste buds with its rich and potent pistachio flavor! I like to just let the Jell-o rest in my mouth and excite my taste buds for a short while before swallowing. …

Stouffer’s Spaghetti with Meatballs is a meal that I will not be having again. The reason that I will not be having this meal again is because the meatballs are terrible! They not only have little flavor to them, but the little flavor that they have is not a …

I really have no idea about where different wines come from. For years I would order Chardonnay, simply because I liked the light refreshing taste. Then I ventured out to explore red wines, like Chianti and merlot. But when I ran across the Shiraz wine …

I tried Simply Orange for the first time recently. I’m not a big orange juice drinker. I never liked pulp, but my parents did, so that’s probably why I shied away from it. Unless they purchased the pulp-free variety, which wasn’t available really until I was …

We bought this sauce because I was going to prepare a Vietnamese Beef Pho recipe. I got the recipe online and the ingredient includes Hoisin sauce which I really hunt from store to store because it wasn’t easily available. But anyway to make the hunting story for hoisin sauce …

I love to eat cereals as my breakfast, but unfortunately, since I am asian, I do have lactose-intolerance. Eating dairy products, like even the simplest ice cream will definitely send me to the comfort room because I would often have cramps and suffer from diarrhea. I do indulge from …

I love eating snacks while watching TV or movies. Sometimes I just grab a pack of cheese puffs but most of the time I love to cook microwaveable popcorn instead. I feel that the calories in plain butter popcorns are lesser than that of cheese snacks.
I walked around the …

I am always looking for quick meals, as by the time I get done with work for the day it is already time to start dinner. So my theory is the quicker the preparation, the better. I decided to try these TGI Friday Skillets because you can make a …

Even though I am all for eating low fat foods, I have found that ice-cream is one treat that just does not taste good in a low-fat form. I have tried low-fat, fat-free and calorie-reduced ice-cream, as well as frozen yogurt, and they just do not taste remotely the …

I have to say that I believe that Mrs. Butterworth stole some of Aunt Jemima’s thunder. That’s based on personal experience because after being pretty loyal to Jemima, we ended up switching over to Mrs. Butterworth’s Original Syrup more often than not. There are still other brands …

I have always been a fan of 3 Musketeers (the candy bar, not the sword wielding trio). And when I saw them mixing with my favorite flavor ‘mint’ I was excited to say the least. They’ve changed to a dark chocolate to better accommodate the mint making …

I loved cooking and one of the best ingredients I put in my recipe is Del monte tomato sauce. Del monte tomato sauce is made from 100% fresh tomatoes, which contains lycopene that reduces the risk of heart disease and some cancer.
