Food Reviews
Mrs. Freshley’s Berry Pie
I enjoyed Mrs. Freshley’s Berry Pie much more than the apple pie variety. The reason I enjoyed the blueberry variety more is quite simple really: the blueberry filling has a pretty delightful flavor! The filling reminds me of scrumptious blueberries, as it most certainly should. The pie tastes even …
Taco Bell Soft Tacos
Sometimes when a person has sensitive teeth or even caps, a crunchy taco isn’t a smart food choice. It was during such a time that I expanded my horizons and first tried Taco Bell Soft Tacos. Since that first experience many years ago, I’ve often purchased this …
Starbucks Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha Drink
I am completely addicted to the Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha, currently being marketed as one of Starbucks’ prime winter holiday coffee drinks. First of all, I should tell you that I am a sucker for chocolate beverages. I have been a longstanding fan of the Starbucks original …
FirstNice Peanut Chocolate
The other day at Lidl shop I saw FirstNice Peanut Chocolate; I like Snickers, which is also made of chocolate and peanuts so I wanted to try this chocolate too. It didn’t cost much, about 50 Euro cents so I decided to buy it, you get 100g of chocolate …
Happy Farms Deluxe American Cheese Slices
Happy Farms Deluxe American Cheese Slices retails for three dollars and thirty cents for twenty-four slices. It’s a good cheese that I have no complaints towards, but it’s a cheese that I won’t be purchasing again simply because I can get the same exact cheese and the same number …
Kellogg’s Original Cinnabon Pancakes
Twelve Kellogg’s Original Cinnabon Pancakes come in a package for two dollars and fifty cents. That may sound like a fairly good deal, but the pancakes themselves actually aren’t that big. They’re more like mini-pancakes, looking to be about four inches in length. The size of the pancakes seriously …
CHIP SHOTS: MARGARITA AND SALT CHIPS
These were without a doubt one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever ate in my life. I’m a twenty something woman who knows how great an icy cold margarita can be after a hard day. I’ve also been known to do a few tequila shots with my friends …
Calve ketchup
This ketchup really is the best ketchup in the world. Since I tasted this one I don’t buy any other because it is just not worth it. Less expensive brends are many cheper for 20-30 cents but the taste can’t be compared to Calve ketchup but the problem is …
Special K cereal
The other day me and my mom went to the grocery store to grab some food for the house. My mom found a buy one get one free on kellogs brand cereals. We decided to go with something new called special k. Special k is a cereal with …
Roasted & Salted Sunflower Nuts
Good Sense Roasted & Salted Sunflower Nuts come in a resealable plastic bag. I bought a 10 oz bag for something like $1.38, which I thought was a good price. The nuts come already peeled, so you won’t have to worry about that (although I know some people who …
Snickers Candy Bar
I bought a Snickers Candy Bar the other day and I had to write a review on it. I think that this is a very tasty and good candy bar. I must say that the flavor is very good, and I like the chewy inside of it. Another thing …
Aunt Maple’s Dark Chocolate & Peppermint Pancake Mix
Although pancakes tend to be a less than healthy option when it comes to breakfast, I still like to have them a couple of times a week. I don’t feel quite as guilty if I balance it out by making healthier choices other days of the week. I have …
Wrigley’s Extra Cool Watermelon Gum
Wrigley’s has been one of my favorite brands of chewing gum for quite a while, so when I saw the new Wrigley’s Extra Cool Watermelon I had to check it out. I was not disappointed. The flavor may be a little too strong at first, but it quickly subsides …
O’Hara’s Raspberry Jalapeno Jam
Ohara’s Raspberry Jalapeno Jam is the very best jam I have ever tasted. I bought it at a craft show in Albuquerque for the first time and absolutely love it. It is actually made in Durango, CO, but the family goes to craft shows and fairs to allow …
Ben & Jerrys - Pumpkin Cheesecake
As a lifelong fan and connoisseur of the Ben & Jerry’s brand of ice cream, I have had the chance to sample a majority of their offerings. My plan is to have a thorough review of each flavor over the next few months.
My first review is for a …
Doritos Smokin’ Chedder BBQ
I’m a Dorito fan. I always have been from way back in the day when all you had was the original red bag of Doritos. I moved onto the Cool Ranch in the 80’s and have loved them all since. I even purchase a small red …
Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Double Chocolate
I find this Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Double Chocolate to be superior to the no bake cheesecake line. The reason I find this particular product to be superior is because of the rich and scrumptious double chocolate flavor that comes with this dessert. The chocolate tastes just like …
Kellog’s Nutrigrain Cereal Bar (Blueberry)
I had often heard of the Kellog’s Nutrigrain Cereal Bar from advertisements, but never had the chance to try it until recently even though I really wanted to. This was mostly because the places where I had seen it being sold, were selling it at a very expensive price …
Carrefour Cheras Kaya Ball Stall
At first I thought all kaya ball taste the same. That was what I thought before I tried the kaya balls sold at Carrefour Cheras.
The Kaya Ball sold here taste different from kaya ball that I’ve tried at other places. I don’t quite know how they manage it, …
Bar S Hot Dogs
My wife decided to make hot dogs for dinner last night (I think she was determined to make sure the kids ate dinner without a fight so we could get them to bed early). When she made them, I expected her to pull out a pack of Oscar Mayer …
Bama (Real) Mayonnaise
I have always been a die-hard Hellman’s mayonnaise fan, but after trying Bama brand mayonnaise, I am hooked. We were shopping at our health food grocery store, EarthFare, and I realized we were out of mayonnaise. EarthFare only sells products with no artificial additives, so when we went to …
Arce Dairy Strawberry Ice Cream
I tasted the Arce Dairy Strawberry Ice Cream, when I my boyfriend and I had a buffet dinner in one of the hotels in the city, Dusit Thani Manila, they were serving this as part of their dessert table, and it looked so good, so I decided to get …
Smart Ones Fettucini Alfredo frozen entree
Associated with the Weight Watchers weight loss program, the Smart Ones frozen entrees are, in my opinion, some of the tastiest frozen entrees around — at least when comparing those that have reduced fat and calorie counts. If you are on the Weight Watchers weight loss program, another …
McDonald’s Ranch Snack Wrap
Not a lot of people like McDonald’s. Living in New York with bunch of health nuts, I never really had anyone to go with to McDonald’s. But it is everywhere so I always see their new products. I only go there for chicken nuggets but this has changed since I …
Demon Pig BBQ Sauce
This sauce is a mild sweet sauce with a hint of citrus at the end. It is not super thick, therefore it will not turn into a glob on your meat. It is also not thin enough to run off and burn up. I it adds a very nice …
Real D’lites by The Real Crisp Company
In my search for healthy snack food I stumbled upon a new crisp (potato chip) snack called Real D’lites. These are made out of cassava rather than potatoes. Now I’ve tried many healthier alternative snacks before, usually the result is disappointing. However, Real D’lites vine ripened …
Freschetta Thin Crust Chicken & Spinach Pizza
I mentioned in an earlier review that we bought a couple of pizzas from the Freschetta brand. I was unhappy with the first pizza, a so-called 10-topping pizza, but hoped I would enjoy the unique flavor of the other pizza we bought; a chicken and spinach pizza.
I was wrong …
Squeezed for you Calamansi Extract
The last time I commented on the same kind of product but of different brand, I had to be really mean because I have nothing good to say about the product except that it was cheap. Well, computing and thinking about it, this product is also cheap because it …
Nabisco Wheat Thins
Nabisco has been putting out Wheat Thins in a variety of flavors lately (parmesan & basil, ranch, etc.), but I love the original Wheat Thins. They have a very distinct whole grain flavor. The box boasts that they contain 11 grams of whole grain per serving. It is also …
KC Candy Super Mint
In my country there is a candy company by the name of KC Candy and they make lots of sweets. One of their newest candies is called Super Mint. I never gave this candy a second look as I passed in on the grocery store shelves because it held …
Mocha Magnifico Refrigerated Cake
Baking or cooking isn’t really my cup of tea. I’d rather eat than cook. I remember watching my eldest sister bake mouthwatering pies like Pavlova and Blueberry Cheesecake and I would consume half of it. But there are certainly times when I want to try my hand at baking …
Gloria Ice coffee
Gloria is a Croatia brand of coffee but as in the last few years it became very popular to produce different instant beverages made of coffee so Gloria started producing cappuccino and some other beverages of coffee. I knew that Jacobs had those small packings for one cup only …
Cloverhill Bakery - Marble Cake
The Cloverhill Bakery - Marble Cake is a cake that I did not care for. The reason I did not like this cake too much is because I did not feel that the vanilla or chocolate flavors really shined very well. I could taste both the vanilla and the …
30 Count Chocolate Bar Variety Pack
My biggest problem with this thirty count variety pack packaged and released by M & M Mars is that it’s very uneven in the different number of chocolate candy bars. By that, I mean, while there’s thirty Snickers bars, there’s only three 3 Musketeers. There’s eight Twix bars but …
Rellenong Bangus
Lately we had a lot of bangus (milkfish) in our house. There are some nice people that keep on selling these bangus on a cheap deal. The bangus sold are even big, just that it isn’t that tasty. For the past few weeks, we didn’t eat anything except dishes …
Jack’s Pizza
My favorite kind of frozen pizza is the brand, Jack’s. It comes in all different types (supreme, pepperoni, cheese, etc.). Generally, the pizzas only have one type of crust, which has a medium amount of thickness. The pizzas are usually about $2 if you purchase it …
Iceberg’s Caramel Flan Con Hielo
The heat outside really is terrible. I really wanted to have something to eat that is cold so I could cool myself off. The summer heat is really getting to me and what a nice thing to have is a good cold afternoon ice dessert!
My husband and I went …
Bel Air Malibu Melt
One of my favorite sandwiches is turkey and bacon club. I can’t always get that, but I often like to get variations of it when I am in the mood for a sandwich. Even better sometimes is when it can be heated up or prepared in what …
Jack in the Box: Grilled Deli Trio Sandwich
Previously, I’ve reviewed several of Jack in the Box food products, including some of their foods introduced in 2010 such as their grilled sandwiches. This review will cover their Grilled Deli Trio Sandwich, which I’ve eaten a few times now over the last several months.
According to Jack in …
Tostitos Creamy Spinach Dip
During one of our house parties my mom and I really had a hard time deciding what to serve our guests. The guests were mostly in their 20s and they wanted to drink alcohol after eating dinner. We served them some fried chicken, pasta and some pizza but we …
Clancy’s All Natural Jalapeno Kettle Chips
I’m someone that prefers kettle chips over regular potato chips. I like how kettle chips are typically derived from thicker potato cuts, have slightly fewer calories and tend to be crunchier. What I don’t like about kettle chips however is the prices that they typically sell at, which can …
McCormick Vanilla Extract
I love to cook desserts. I like to create desserts even when it’s not the holidays. You will be surprised at how many good recipes call for vanilla extract. I’ve tried several brands of vanilla extract but none compare to McCormick Vanilla Extract.
When I take the …
Marigold Juice
My 2.5 year old son loves to drink juice. Earlier I used to give home-made fresh apple juice and orange juice. But it used to be boring and cumbersome process for me. My friend once suggested to try Marigold apple juice. My son is little fussy and I thought …
Haagen-Dazs Mango Sorbet
I love sorbet. It’s one of my favorites. I think I like it because it tends to offer intense flavors that I find really enjoyable. I like to eat them all by themselves or alongside other items. When it comes to fruits, mango is also one of my favorites …
Camel Snus
Camel, a well known American tobacco company, has recently started test-marketing a traditionally Swedish oral tobacco product called snus. Although the product is not (yet) available in my home state, I was able to obtain some while on a recent trip to Florida. I purchased all three flavors: spice, …
Dr.Thunder
I love Dr. Thunder for its pleasant, refreshing “almondy” taste, very close to that of Dr. Pepper and for half the price. I buy 2 liter bottles of it at Walmart for only 58 cents a bottle, and sometimes they even lower the price to 50 cents - hard …
Walmart Mini Donuts
My parents surprised us yesterday with some groceries they picked up at Walmart. Among those groceries were individual packs of Walmart Mini Donuts.
Those proved to be pretty good.
I’m not a huge fan of a lot of Walmart brands but these donuts were among the best we have had. There …
Maple Grove Farms Maple Cream Cookies
Maple Grove Farms Maple Cream Cookies are delicious. Unlike the Manning’s Cookie Shop Maple Leaf Creme cookies, which are more sugary sweet than maple-flavored and unlike the Dare Maple Leaf Creme cookies which are ridiculously priced, these cookies from Maple Grove Farms aren’t super sugary and aren’t super high …
Butterfinger Candy Bar by Nestle
I am a chocolate addict but there is one chocolate that I simply could not enjoy. This is Nestle’s Butterfinger Candy Bar. It is does not have the creaminess and lusciousness of my favorite chocolate bars. I hate the flaky orange colored center which is so messy on my …
Metromint - Spearmint Water
Metromint - Spearmint Water is really flavorful and superbly refreshing! The slight sweetness of this water makes it really very addicting and I just cannot help but take another drink and another drink and even more! Before I realize it, the bottle will be empty! Flavors like this make …
