Mrs. Freshley’s Raspberry Creme Cakes

Jell-o Pudding - Chocolate

Ackee and Saltfish

Bama Grape Jam

Stouffer’s Easy Express Cheesy Garlic Lasagna

Kitchens of India Heat and Eat packs

I was shopping in the dairy selection of my neighborhood Walmart, looking to stock up on yogurt. Usually I go for my favorite most trusted brand, but I’m all for trying new brands when the opportunity shows itself. Given that I’ve indulged in Yoplait in the past, I didn’t …
MacDonalds Fries
There is no doubt for me that one of the highlights of going to MacDonalds is their fries. I have always loved them and wish they could be readily available at home. I understand that this would probably turn me into a very overweight being, but they are lovely.
It …

For those who want to buy this product, let me be the first to tell you that it’s full of chemicals. There’s Sucralose aka Splenda and Aspartame. If you don’t know what Aspartame, it’s the most dangerous additive in our foods. It can cause a lot of illnesses, from …

Baja Beef Chalupas from Taco Bell
I am addicted to Baja Beef Chalupas from Taco Bell. It’s horrible. They have too many calories, and I can never eat just one. The substandard ground beef and fiesta salsa lure me in every time I go to Taco Bell.
In the late 90s, they also …
Mrs. Freshley’s Bear Claw Danish
This is supposed to be a bear claw? Mrs. Freshley’s Bear Claw Danish really does not taste much like a bear claw in my opinion. There is very little almond flavor to be tasted and enjoyed. There is no raisin flavor either, and raisins are pretty common in bear …

Hershey’s BLISS, Raspberry (chocolate candy)
Hershey’s may be a time-honoured “institution” in the USA, but many chocolate lovers outside the USA know it only by name. And to be honest, their products are often thought to be less “sophisticated” than their European counterparts.
Recently, I had the pleasure of tasting a Hershey’s product for the …
Kellogg’s All-Bran Bran Buds
I did not care for this cereal very much. In terms of flavor, there is very little to taste and what I do taste is on the dull side. I know that this cereal is intended to be healthy, but there are other healthy cereals on in the grocery …
Jamaican Patties snack

Lunch Buddies Cinnamon Applesauce
I like adding applesauce to my lunch or dinner occasionally because it tastes good and it’s not what I consider to be a “heavy” side, like, for example, beans or even certain kinds of vegetables. Applesauce is light, yet it’s not light on flavor, and that’s what I enjoy …
Cadbury Caramilk 52g Candy
Of all the candies, this one is a chocolate bar. Frankly, I don’t know why Cadbury labels this a candy, when it’s not a candy in the real sense. My idea of a candy is that it is most likely round, hard and sweet. But all …
Almond Breeze Almond Milk Coconut Milk Blend
I am lactose intolerant and one of the milks I use to replace cows milk is the Almond Breeze Almond Milk Coconut Milk Blend. Another reason I choose to use this milk is because it is free from gluten, which I also have a sensitivity too. It is also …
Entenmann’s Cinnamon Swirl Buns
I much prefer the cinnamon swirl buns with raisins compared to Entenmann’s 8 Cinnamon Swirl Buns. The reason for my preference is twofold. First of all, I like raisins, so naturally, I would prefer the variety that actually contains raisins. Second of all, the raisins gave the bun some …
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry/Banana
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry/Banana is a simply scrumptious variety that could be even better if one thing was done: the banana flavor needs to be intensified a little bit and the strawberry flavor needs to be reduced a little somewhat. As it stands now, the flavor combination is a …
