McDonald’s McSkillet Burrito
We had been hearing all the commercials about the McDonald’s McSkillet Burrito and seen where they talked about it on a couple of morning news programs, as nutrition experts decried how many calories and grams of fat this breakfast item had. Of course, this piqued our curiosity. …
Yogi Breathe Deep Organic Herbal Tea
I’m a big believer in homeopathic medicine, so the last time I was congested, I stopped by the local health food store and picked up this tea. It tastes absolutely awful, but it actually seems to loosen my congestion regardless of whether it’s warm or cold.
It’s really difficult …
Curves Chocolate
Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows how hard that task can be. Between the constant parade of pizza office parties and the gleaming, delectable donuts in the break room, it’s hard for most people to resist “cheating” on their healthy diet. It’s even harder if you’re …
Casalat Natural yogurt
Whole my life I’ve been buying diet products, yogurts with low fat, milk with low fat, everything I could find that had low fat consistence I would buy. Then I started the Zone diet which was really cool, made me feel good and I felt I had much more …
Stagg Chili Steak House no beans
Now THIS is what off the supermarket shelf chili should be! This is good stuff even if I don’t make it from scratch. Yes, this is the chili that costs up to two dollars at the store, but if you can get it on sale, this chili …
Penang Laksa
Penang Laksa is truly awesome. Spicily awesome. If you ever want to travel to any part of Southeast Asia, you can request for this menu: Laksa. Actually Laksa is a noodle type of dish served in a bowl mainly and it has a certain authentic taste that …
Campbell’s Select Harvest Light: Maryland-Style Crab Soup
I had never tried Select Harvest Maryland-Style Crab, but the Campbell’s brand is one that you can count on for quality and I have been enjoying their soups for years. I am all for trying something new, so I decided to give it a whirl.
The label, which shows a …
Bisquick Waffles (Made with Bisquick Standard Mix)
In many kitchens, Bisquick is a staple. This simple flour-based mix can be used for pancakes, waffles, shortcakes, and even biscuits, with just a few additional ingredients. It comes in large, economical boxes that last the two of us for months on end. Most of the …
Jack N’ Jill Chippy
As far as local chips are concerned, Chippy would probably be my favorite among the others. Chippy has been in the market for a long time now since time in memoriam. Chippy has lots of new flavors now unlike before they only had the barbecue flavor which is still …
Dillman Farm - All Natural Pear Butter Fruit Spread
Dillman Farm - All Natural Pear Butter Fruit Spread is a flavor variety that I did not particularly care a whole lot for. Although pears are not something that I find myself craving too often, I have tried to include more in my diet because of the health benefits …
Red Baron By the Slice 4-Cheese Pizza
I’m a huge fan of Red Baron By the Slice Pepperoni Pizza, which I am buying with regularity so last week I decided to try a different variety of this easy to prepare meal and purchased Red Baron By the Slice 4-Cheese Pizza.
I was as impressed with this 4-Cheese …
Earth Circle Organics Maca Powder
I am a big believer in the healing power of foods and thus I love trying all kinds of superfoods that promise to do all kinds of magic to your health/body/skin etc. One superfood I was particularly interested in is the Maca Powder.
First of all, let me quickly explain what …
Angels delight dessert
One day this summer when I was talking on Skype with my boyfriend, before his second coming here, he said in exiting voice that he brought me something I would surely like in his favorite store, Tesco in Braintree. And boy, was he right! Good thing he know …
Michelina’s Swedish Meatballs
For some reason, I gambled on buying Michelina’s Swedish Meatballs the other day. The price is right for Michelina’s frozen foods, even though they are Weight Watchers, which I know I don’t like. The thing is that I had one really good one of these and so …
Angel Delight Dessert
A lot of my friends have a soft spot for Angel Delight as we are all the same age and remember it from our childhoods. I had not eaten any since the late 1980s but I recently treated myself to some. Angel Delight is no gourmet mousse …
Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallows
I buy bags of Jet-puffed Marshmallows from Stop and Shop all the time! I used to use the store brand until I realized that the jet-puffed marshmallows taste so much better. I usually buy the standard sized marshmallows in the summertime for my kids to use at a …
Talenti Tahitian Vanilla Bean Gelato
After trying Talenti’s Pistachio Gelato I knew that I was hooked on the brand and would try as many of their products as I could. One flavor that I recently tried was the Tahitian Vanilla Bean. I purchased the product at Kroger for $3.75 for a single pint …
Amy’s Kitchen Vegetarian Baked Beans
I was really excited to find that Amy’s Kitchen now makes baked beans. I have a hard time finding a vegetarian version of prepared baked beans or at least any selection of vegetarian baked beans. It was nice to find another brand, especially a brand that is natural and …
Diet Pepsi Max
In January of 2005, I had the opportunity to go to Europe where I first discovered Pepsi Max. This delicious, zero calorie drink has 69 mg of caffeine in every 12 oz can. That is about twice the caffeine of regular Pepsi. It has …
Route 1 Candy Peanut Choklets
Route 1 Candy Peanut Choklets come in a twelve point six ounce bag for one dollar and ninety-nine cent at ALDI Food Market stores. This is a candy that combines chocolate and peanuts, a combination that isn’t exactly new, but it doesn’t do it at all remarkably. While the …
Wye Rivers Crabbers Crackers
Wye Rivers Crabbers Crackers are one of those things that I saw and couldn’t believe it. I’ve seen potato chips with a similar flavor, but never crackers. They don’t look all that bad and they actually appear kind of cute, until you read the ingredients and the fine print. …
Cheetos
I just love cheese. I love the taste, the smell, the color and the versatility of cheese. One of the cheese products that I truly love is Cheetos. I cannot live without it. If there is one food in the world that I would rather not share, it is …
Zubrowka Vodka
I am not a Vodka fan to put it mildly. However, as luck would have it, I wound up drinking it at a party mixed with apple juice because that was the drink being offered. To my surprise, I loved it! I then found out that …

Fuze slenderize tropical punch beverage is a low carb drind wiht L-Carnitine, Super Citrimax, Chromium, and Vitamin C.

Hills Bros Double Mocha Cappuccino
I tried Hills Bros Double Mocha Cappuccino earlier this summer while on vacation. I started each morning with a cup before every day of my trip. Since returning to work, Hills Bros Cappuccino has become a regular part of my morning. As with other instant …
Jelly Bean Tropical Mix Candy
I am not fond of eating candies; actually, I avoid sweets since my father was diagnosed with diabetes. Most of candies have too much sugar. My friend gave me Jelly Bean. Her sister came home from US and gave it to her. She gave it to me even though …
Junior Horlicks
Hello mothers there is a very good new for all of u and just stop worrying about the diet of your cute little children because here is an excellent diet is waiting for u to feed your kids. I am talking about the Junior Horlicks, which is a …
Meadowfresh Houmous (aka Hummus) from Lidl
I tried a 300g tub of this Houmous from Lidl for only 99p. This Meadowfresh brand seems to be Lidl’s own brand judging from the label. This is a good price for such a large tub and I was looking forward to getting home and dunking some …
Pacific Chai - Spiced tea
I love Chai teas a friend got me hooked several years ago. A Chai Creme is one of the few things I use as a reward for myself every so often. I prefer them from Starbucks, but I have found Kroger’s carries a brand that is pretty …
Amul Ice cream
Amul ice creams are the real ice creams. They are very good in quality and price. These ice creams are not very costly but they are very tasty and yummy. There are many kind of ice creams in the market and I have tried many of …
Tescos Chunky Chilli Soup
A soup that I discovered in Tesco a couple of years ago is a Tesco branded Chunky Chilli Soup. I love it, but it’s important to not be fooled by the name here. Chunky Chilli suggests that you are in for something hot and yet that could not really …
Ghosts Marshmallow Peeps
Ghosts Marshmallow Peeps are, unfortunately, no better than the pumpkin-themed Peeps. I just do not feel that these marshmallow treats are in possession of a rich and real marshmallow flavor that I was hoping for. Yes, they are sweet, but marshmallow is not the same thing as sugar. There …
Sweet Memories of Cebu Philippine Brand Mango Juice Nectar
I really enjoy this subtly sweet mango juice nectar, either chilled or at room temperature.
I find that this mango juice nectar is delicious straight from the can. I like that it is a thick juice that feels smooth going down my throat. I enjoy Philippine Brand Mango Juice Nectar …
Special K’s Strawberry Protein Meal Bars
The Special K diet suggests that you replace two meals with either a meal bar or a bowl of cereal. If someone was to follow this diet as suggested, I have no doubt that they would lose weight. These meal bars are delicious. However, the problem …
Betty Crocker Warm Delights
I tried this the other day and surprisingly it was really good. I didn’t expect it to be that good. You pour the cake mix into a bowl that they give you, then you put a little bit of water in it and you squeeze some of the fudge …
Tripel Karmeliet, Belgium beer
Living in Belgium has a huge advantage to compensate the high taxes: BEER. There are over 600 types of trappist beers in Belgium but I will talk only about one of them which very fast became my favorite. I have documented a bit about it’s history, and I have …
Stouffers Pot Roast frozen dinner
When I have a hectic schedule, I love coming home and microwaving one of Stouffers frozen dinners, and the Pot Roast is certainly no exception! I bought this 232gram boxed dinner on sale for just $2.99 at my local Supermarket.
I hate the term ‘TV dinner’ but with a Stouffers …
Cloverhill Bakery - Jumbo Chocolate Honey Bun
The Cloverhill Bakery - Jumbo Chocolate Honey Bun is not something that I will be purchasing again. It really was not something that I found to be satisfying in any sense of the word. I much, much prefer the non-chocolate version of this honey bun because the chocolate variety …
Sanjeev Kapoor’s Khazana Hot Mango Pickle
I love pickles. Many Indians would agree that no matter how tasty a dish is there is nothing like a bit of pickle to enhance the flavors and give the taste buds a tingling sensation. Not to mention it can rev up a bland and dull dish too.
Well, …
Classico Pasta Sauce, Tomato and Basil
This is a pretty flavorful pasta sauce. Unlike a lot of pasta sauces out there, this pasta sauce actually has chunks of tomato. There’s the typical tomato puree, but having actual slices of diced tomatoes in this pasta sauce really makes a difference! The diced tomatoes taste ripe and …
Lloyd’s Beef Brisket
This was a first for me recently because I’ve never purchased Lloyd’s item that I can remember and I’ve never had ‘brisket’ before; at least, not labeled as such. However, I’ve had some luck with these kind of easy fix meals lately, so I decided to check …
Emborg Havarti Cheese
I like to try different foods and cheese is included in this. Some I have liked lots and some I just didn’t want to go near it after my taste buds got a “whiff” of it. Well, I am here to talk about Emborg’s Havarti Cheese. One of the …

Each box of tea bag, contains 100 tea bags, each bag enough for three cups of delicious tea. Very healthy and refreshing, and brighten up your day and relax you in the evening. Very suitable for …
Jell-o Gelatin - Orange
Jell-o Gelatin - Orange variety is one of my favorite gelatin fruit flavors to have. The orange flavor is quite tasty and it tastes authentic, too. The company did a pretty good job transferring the scrumptious orange flavor to the gelatin and every spoonful of gelatin is followed by …
Great Value Roasted Garlic Instant Mashed Potatoes
I have already reviewed here Idahoan roasted garlic instant mashed potatoes, of which I am a big fan. Recently, I noticed a Great Value version of this same product; it was a bit cheaper, and I decided to try it.
A 7.6 oz box contains 2 pouches, each one makes …
Fruch Topfchen Vanilla drink yogurt
In my house everyone likes vanilla yogurts but it isn’t very easy to find a good one for a reasonable price because in shops they usually charge more for vanilla yogurts than for regular ones. So the other day I went to Lidl with my father and on my …
Cheezels Chips
Cheezels are a snack that myself and my family have been enjoying for many years now. I’ve been eating these chips since I was very young and since then, Cheezels have thankfully kept their incredible taste and great flavour that we all love so much. They still …
Marigold Chrysanthemum Tea
Chineses love teas, I believe they too are the ones together with the Japanese people that might have introduced teas, or even juice extracts to the world. For the Chinese, everything is almost edible and every fruit or flower has its own medicinal benefits. I am here to actually …
Horlicks
I am the mother of 3 children. Naturally I love my kids and always struggle to do the best for them. My elder boy is 12 years old and he is good by all means but the only problem with him is, he is not having enough …
