Frozen pizza keeps on evolving and one of the brands that continues to push the envelop is Red Baron. Not long ago, they came out with their Fire Baked Pizza, which was just yummy. Now there’s something else new on the market — Red Baron By the …
Mueller’s Elbow Macaroni
The Mueller’s brand has always been a must-have when it came to various pastas. I especially love their elbow macaroni because I’m always making macaroni and cheese for big Sunday dinners.
The Mueller’s elbow macaroni comes in two sizes: The regular box and the family size box. I usually buy …
Bird’s Eye Voila: Garlic Chicken
The Bird’s Eye Voila garlic chicken is another bag meal by Bird’s Eye that I had the opportunity to try recently. They were on sale and the garlic chicken was one of the Bird’s Eye Voila meals that I have not tried yet, so I purchased one bag.
The thing …
Banquet Salisbury Steak
The Banquet Salisbury Steak frozen meal comes complete with Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes and corn, all for one dollar. The fact that all this food can be sold for one dollar should be a big hint as to the quality of the food. Still, curiosity can be a mighty …
Snyder’s of Hanover Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Pieces
Snyder’s of Hanover Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Pieces are very tasty, but also quite hard. I am not so sure why these pretzels are so hard, but they do require quite a bit of chewing and effort to break apart. Nonetheless, I still like munching on these pretzel pieces because …
Little Debbie Easter Puffs
I am not all that crazy about Little Debbie Easter Puffs, although I would be if they would just remove one thing from the puffs. These puffs have chocolate on the inside and marshmallow on the outside and there is also a white icing coated beneath the marshmallow. There …
Target’s Archer Farms Finely Ground Espresso
I’ve never bought my own espresso before, so this was my first attempt purchasing espresso for my cappuccino maker. I’m really not a fan of Starbucks beans after working there, so I was avoiding Starbucks espresso. The Archer Farms espresso proved to be an excellent alternative for a good …
Fleischmann Simply Homemade Baking Mix Italian Herb Flavor
When it comes to baking cakes, cupcakes, cookies and candies I am fine in the kitchen, but when it comes to baking breads and pastries from scratch that is when my flaws show. I came across Fleischmann simply baking homemade baking bread kit while I was on the baking aisle …
Krusteaz Bakery Style Oatmeal Cookie Mix
Krusteaz Bakery Style Oatmeal Cookie Mix makes a cookie that offers up a lot of oatmeal flavor. Now, oatmeal is not really a cookie flavor that I enjoy all that much, but I do get a taste for oatmeal cookies every now and then, and when I do, I …

Hostess 100 calorie pack cakes
I like the Hostess 100 calorie pack chocolate cakes. They come 6 packs in a box. You get three little mini cakes in a package. It has 3 grams of fat, 5 grams of fiber, and 22 carbohydrates. Not too bad for a snack. I can even …
Jose Pedro Salsa
If you like mild but flavorful salsa, you MUST try this salsa I found at Dollar Tree. Now, I’ve bought their 16 oz. jars before and they’re very good, but this one is 24 oz., which is 50% more for the same price!
We use a lot of salsa …
DAK Fully Cooked Premium Ham
I have been buying DAK Fully Cooked Premium Ham for quite some time, I really like this product. It is canned ham, very tender and soft, with added water that turns into jelly on the sides (my cat adores it). It is inexpensive, only $2.78, and fully cooked: all …
Betty Crocker - Walnut Chunk Brownies
Betty Crocker - Walnut Chunk Brownies offer a nice change of pace from the smooth and chocolate rich brownies that generally dominate the grocery store. Indeed, the word “chunk” most definitely applies to this brownie! You will most certainly be able to taste the walnut flavor sticking out from …
Healthy Choice Portabella Spinach Parmesan
I was interested in trying this Healthy Choice Pasta entrée because I love the combination of mushroom and spinach. It would have been better if it was broccoli, but you pick and choose from the choices you’ve been given. Also, this entrée was under 300 calories, had …
Fruitapone Plus Harmony Fruity Soap
I am not generally a huge fan of fruit scented soaps, but Fruitapone Plus Harmony Fruity Soap has proven to be an exception to my rule. I bought this package of three soaps at my local grocery store for $2.99CDN.
What attracted me to this soap was the great scent …
Yogi Green Tea Energy
I have been drinking Yogi Green Tea Energy for several months now and I must say I am very satisfied. The price is kind of expensive but this is because the tea contains ginseng. But even at $4.99 it is a very good price for a drink that will give …
MTR vermicelly rice noodles
MTR vermicelli is the rice noodle, which is available in the market now a days and my father in law had brought 2 packets of it to try. I chopped some vegetable finely and using these chopped vegetable I prepared the rice noodles in the evening and I …
Celestial Seasonings Caffeine Free Sleepytime Vanilla Herbal Tea
Lately, when nighttime comes around I cannot sleep because my panic attacks seem to take over and my insomnia kicks in. The other day I knew I had to do something about it when my asthma attacks started coming on with the panic attacks and insomnia at nighttime as …
Gropper, Strawberry Yogurt
I don’t like to eat yogurts very much as they just make me hungry so I eat them and I have to eat some other things like bread after. So when I eat the yogurt I eat twice and this is very bad thing. That’s why I don’t even …

Favorini Crispy wafer
When you like sweet stuff as much as I do people usually think that it is easy for you because you like everything that has chocolate or some kind a sweet cream in it. But it isn’t so. I like sweet but not too sweet and I like cookies …
Ministop Siopao Buns
I should say not all buns are the same. I have tasted far better Chinese buns than what I have had for dinner today; but of course this isn’t the worst of them all. I am talking about “siopao buns”. Ministop a convenient store has these kind of buns …
Morrisons Chocolate Chunk Oaties Flapjacks
These Chocolate Chunk Oaties are amongst the best flapjacks I have ever tasted. They are Morrisons own brand with —˜The Cake Shop’ on the label and they can be found in their in-store bakery section with all the fresh bread. What I like about them is the …
Classico Sauce
My family made lasagna the other night and our friend told us to try Classico sauce. So we did. It was really good. We are going to always buy this sauce anytime we make lasagna or any other type of food that we need that sauce for. I would …
Dairy Queen Peanut Buster Parfait
Dairy Queen’s Peanut Buster Parfait is, overall, a nice treat for a hot day. Every now and then I’m ready for a change of pace, and that’s normally when I’ll order this dessert. I don’t like to have it too often, but for the occasional spice to …
Lipton Teas
I love teas! I guess there is no one that has ever tasted almost all tea variants in the whole of metro manila as me. I love teas, red tea, green tea, korean ginseng teas (not as much as i like green teas) and i also love Milk teas! …
Meadowfresh Lemon and Coriander Houmous
I frequently buy the original houmous (or hummus) in the Meadowfresh range but I thought I would try this lemon and coriander version. I wanted to experiment by using avocado in a tortilla wrap so I thought a houmous with lemon in would be ideal as I would …
Kellogg’s Raisin Bran
I consider this to be a flavorful and somewhat healthy breakfast cereal and afternoon snack. In this cereal are a numerous number of wonderfully tasty and nutritious raisins just waiting to be enjoyed. My only complaint is, along with the great flavor comes a great number of calories as …

Britannia Digestive biscuits one of finest quality biscuits available in our place high in nutrition and tastes great as well. Britannia always has been delivering high quality products and these digestive biscuits are another feather in their crown as far as we can go in terms of quality and …
Mrs. Freshley’s Oatmeal Creme
Although I found Mrs. Freshley’s Oatmeal Creme to be satisfactory and enjoyable, I do not expect to purchase the creme cookie a second time. The reason I will not be purchasing it a second time is because I can get oatmeal cookies at a better value from another company …
Aro mango pickle
Aro is the new brand, which is released in the market. Still I did not find any popularity for the Aro products. But I have tasted the Aro mixed fruit jam and I found it very good. And for this time I thought of buying the …
Betty Crocker Gingerbread Cake and Cookie Mix
It’s almost Christmas time here folks. You know how I can tell? Oh yeah, you do start to see all the decorations for the season going up in stores, and the relentless Black Friday ads begin blaring on TV and radio, sure that’s a given. But there’s another way …
Choice Organic White Peony Tea
My new favorite organic tea to drink is Choice Organic White Peony Tea, which is basically a white herbal tea with a slightly bitter and sweet floral flavor and aroma to it. One of the reasons I started to drink this herbal tea was because it is packed full …
Raw Organic Cacao Nibs from Now Foods
Trying new superfoods is pretty much my hobby. Every 2 months or so I order a bunch of stuff that is said to be really great for you and test it out. To be honest, most of the time the things I order don’t become my staples, but it’s still …
Mountain Holler
I’m normally a Mountain Dew drinker. But, brand name soda is getting expensive lately and I can’t always find it on sale.
Looking to stay within a budget, I have once again switched back to a more generic version; Mountain Holler.
The thing I like about Mountain Holler (sold here at …
Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix
I am happy to review Betty Crocker sugar Cookie dry mix. I bought a package for $1.50 at my local wal-mart super center and set out to bake sugar cookies for my family. When I got home, I noticed I needed flour to prepare these as cut outs for the …
Lo-Carb Monster Energy Drink
Lately I’ve been finding myself waking up sluggish and my internal engine doesn’t quite turn over. I can only drink coffee occasional, so I’ve found myself starting my day with a muffin and a Lo-Carb Monster Energy drink.
I drink the 16 ounce can which is supposed to be two …
Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
If you’ve ever gone to a Vietnamese restaurant, you have probably encountered this chili sauce. If so, you’ve already had the pleasure of its acquaintance.
If not, let me be the first to introduce you.
For a lot of people, their idea of “hot sauce” usually consists of tobasco or some …
Farm Rich Mozzarella Bites
As I’m someone that’s always on the look out for food where mozzarella is the main ingredient, I was eager to give the Farm Rich Mozzarella Bites a try when I came across them for five dollars and fifty cents at Walmart. I enjoy bread that has mozzarella cheese …
General Mills Count Chocula Cereal
General Mills Count Chocula cereal is a pretty sweet cereal, but it undeniably has a distinctly rich flavor to it. The sweetness mainly comes from the marshmallow pieces with the remaining sweetness originating from the chocolate cereal pieces. Much of the actual flavor this cereal has to offer comes …
Mang Bok’s Manok
I love Chicken! I love them grilled, barbequed, fried, and cooked with sauce. Here in the country, we love lechon manok. It is similar to roasted chicken meals abroad and people always set aside money to buy roasted chicken whenever there are occasions. Chicken Roasters have become popular with …
Tang Pineapple Powdered Juice Drink
Again for the many times, I am impressed with Tang’s powdered juice drinks. This time their pineapple flavor was refreshing and tasty. Since the time that I first tasted Tang, I wanted to try all of its flavors. Just two days ago, I bought pineapple powdered juice. In my …
Frito Lay chips
Frito Lay makes some of the most bland chips ever, I rarely ever buy these even though potato chips are my weakness. I can not resist the yummy salty crunch of potato chips. I had pretty much given up on Frito Lay potato chips, with the exception of …
Chips and Tuna Salad
Ever been famished? Ever had a roommate who was a strict vegetarian?
Ever been so famished you’d eat anything in sight even if it was mostly tofu and mystery meat-free ingredients? Well I have, and I’m a better person for it. See, my roommate doesn’t eat meat, …
Farm Rich Cheese Sticks
Fairly crispy and excessively flavorful essentially describes how I feel about the cheese sticks made by Farm Rich. I have no doubt that these cheese sticks would come out crisper if I were to deep fry them - one of the three means of preparing the cheese sticks according …
Copper Mountain Hot2Go Hazelnut Coffee Latte Light
On a recent trip to my local mega-store, I came upon Hot2Go Coffee Lattes, made by Copper Mountain. Priced at less than $1.50 each, I decided to grab a few.
The packaging is very convenient, allowing you to heat up a latte that you can take anywhere with you …
MacDonalds McChicken Sandwich
In my early twenties, as I started to go off the Big Macs I turned to the McChicken Sandwich at MacDonalds after hearing good things about it. A piece of breaded chicken in a bun with mayonnaise and lettuce was actually pretty good. My only usual criticism of …
