Hormel Beef Roast
We’ve had Hormel Beef Roast for supper, for the first time, but definitely not for the last. It is so easy to cook, one of those “heat & eat” products that you just put in your oven or microwave, and in 7 minutes it is ready to serve. It …
Betty Crocker Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Betty Crocker is a brand name that I know and trust, but they really dropped the ball with their Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
First, they are very high in sodium and they contain MSG (monosodium glutamate, which has been connected to migraine headaches and other health problems). …
Mrs. Freshley’s Fudge Brownie
There is really not a world of difference between Mrs. Freshley’s Fudge Brownie and Mrs. Freshley’s Fudge Bake Brownie. Both brownies have chocolate, fudge and a nut topping. The main difference is the size. The fudge brownie is larger than the fudge bake brownie. That is about the only …
Betty Crocker - Teriyaki Rice

Savoritz Crackers Garlic with Rosemary

Magnum Classic Ice Cream Bars
I was prodded to try this new ice cream, after hearing the upbeat raves from my friend. She’d said that once I tasted the ice cream, I would never be the same. I can honestly say that she was indeed right about that.
Magnum Classic is Belgium chocolate covered …
Fast Fixin chicken breast nuggets

Rice Dream Rice Milk, Original Flavor

Fuddruckers’ Hamburgers
Fuddruckers is a chain of restaurants that are throughout the United States. I ate my first Fuddruckers hamburger in Florida in 1992, and I have had many more over the years. It is obvious to me why Fuddruckers has been so successful and has grown to so many …
Fritos Corn Chips
I’ve been eating Fritos corn chips since I was a little girl. In fact, I can’t remember ever not eating Fritos. I used to love it when Mom put a little bag of Fritos in my sack lunch for school.
This salty corn snack just hits the …
Kellogg’s Corn Flakes breakfast cereal
It probably sounds fairly cliched to say it, but sometimes I find that the original really is the best, and that is most definitely the case when it comes to corn flakes. Although I have often been quite favourably impressed by the supermarket own brands, none of them has …

Albertsons Frozen Mixed Vegetables
Albertsons Frozen Mixed Vegetables are enjoyable in some ways and disappointing in other ways. For example, the corn and carrots are both on the dull side. The carrots have at least some flavor, but the corn might as well not even be there because they contribute nothing, pretty much. …
Grizz White Wine
Grizz White (and its fellow, Grizz Red) are simple Washington state wines that come in a screwtop. Love the convenience, but even more love the yummy wine. Normaly in my house we greatly prefer red, since it doesn’t have that nasty sour tang that we find Chardonnays …
Gilbey’s Vodka
I like to drink Gilbey’s Vodka a lot. This brand of vodka is very good and and at a cheap price. Now Gilbey’s Vodka is not as high quality as other brand of vodka but it’s still good. The thing about this vodka is that it does get you buzzed. …

Apparently, there’s a lot of people that like Pizza Hut’s new Pizza Mia. I have not met any of them.
Pizza Mia is a wallet friendly pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut. At $5 dollars each, you may think it’s hard to go wrong with one. That price is deceiving. It’s …
Balsamic Vinegar de Modena
I first heard of balsamic vinegar 4 years ago while watching a TV cooking program which presented a Greek salad.

I am not a particular fan of salads in general and of vinegar in …

Pinahs Rye Chips —“ Original
Pinahs Rye Chips —“ Original are more than a little on the bland side compared to the other varieties available, like the garlic, Swiss cheese and green onion varieties. If you have ever had rye bread before, then you already know what these chips taste like. Now I like …
Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuits
This was my first time ever eating at a Popeye’s establishment. I didn’t even realize it was mostly a chicken place until I got inside. The chicken itself was billed as having beaten Kentucky Fried Chicken in a taste test. I must agree, I thought it did taste better …

Cheesy smothered Charbroiled Patty Meal by Banquet (frozen dinner)
The Cheesy smothered Charbroiled Patty Meal by Banquet looks rather gross on the box. Usualy the picture on the box is better than the actually meal but this is opposite. I kept over looking it when I would go to by my frozen dinners just because the picture on …
CHIP SHOTS: MARGARITA AND SALT CHIPS

Aunt Jemima Frozen Buttermilk Waffles
