Although I really like the fact that these mango chunks are ice cold when I take them out of the freezer to eat, I really didn’t find them to be all that tasty or sweet. Now I’m not overly fond of mangos, but I do really love the Del …

I don’t usually buy juices because they cost a lot and usually they are too sweet so I prefer to drink plain water. From all juices my favourite one is apricot juice, it is actually the only one I like but the problem is that usually apricot juices are …

A friend introduced me to a new chocolate temptation: Lindor Truffles. This delicious chocolate candy comes in 3 varieties: dark, milk, and white chocolate.

Unlike the chocolate variety of mini-donuts, Mrs. Freshley’s Halloween: Powdered Mini Donuts actually have a pretty decent flavor to them and I will say that I enjoyed devouring the six mini-donuts. The powdered sugar provided these donuts with a satisfying flavor that left me with a smile on my …

Now this …

I love coffee, especially mochas. And wandering around the Dollar Tree the other day, I discovered these super cool little cans of coffee. “Self Heating Beverage” really sparked my curiosity, and the fact that theyre only a dollar? Totally worth a try!
So basically, the directions are on the …

Just about my all time favorite treat for decades has been from See’s Candies. It’s their peppermints, primarily the milk chocolate variety. They do have a dark chocolate, but I’ve never been a dark chocolate affectionado, for some reason.
The Milk Chocolate Peppermints really do satisfy me and …

Every so often, it’s nice to pop a tic tac into my mouth, either because I like the flavor of a refreshing mint or because there is a taste in my mouth that I want to do away with. With it being the Christmas season right now, there are …

I’ve always loved pork. Breakfast is one of my favorite meals because there’s pork sausage, pancakes and scrambled eggs to be eaten. That’s definitely one of my favorite meals.
