On my quest for low fat healthy dinners, I recently bought Lean Cuisine’s Oriental Beef Stirfry dinner for $2.99CDN.
I had only ever had Lean cuisine chicken dinners before, so I was curious as to how good the beef one would be.
The meal looked great on the cardboard box. Lot’s …

Nestle Koko Krunch is a chocolatey cereal made for kids and the kids at heart like myself. Nestle Koko Krunch is a favorite of my kids because not only does it taste wonderful, it also makes them healthy. If you take a look at the packaging of this product, …

I’ve been eating Taco Bell Crunchy Tacos for years and years, and as time as gone by, my feelings about them have pretty much remained the same. When they’re good, they’re good, and when they’re off, it’s a big disappointment. Much of the problem occurs in the …

I’ve been avoiding purchasing snacks like chips for years because I don’t think they’re all that good for you with all the artificial flavors and preservatives and of course if I’m dieting there’s the empty calories. However, my boyfriend actually requested chips so I was trying to find some …

I have always been a fan of Diet Sprite and 7-Up. When I saw Sierra Mist on sale in the grocery store I decided to see if it was a similar product. It looks to be, judging by the packaging. It’s not a drink that has been available here for …

Like me I’m sure that you are always looking for something different to eat, you know something that will make a change. Well a couple of weeks ago I spotted Pooles Meat and Potato Pies in the freezer compartment at my local Morrisons supermarket. The photograph on the packaging …

This “Easy Pack” mix suffers from two devastating problems that really add up to one big-time disappointing pancake mix. First of all, the mix calls for water and not milk, eggs and oil. Adding water as opposed to milk, eggs and oil ends up creating an inferior pancake. The …

The Cedarlane Green Chili & Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales is a frozen meal that I find somewhat satisfactory, although I was not pleased enough with what this meal had to offer to purchase it again. These tamales suffer from the same problem that the other varieties of tamales suffer …

When I did my shoprite from home on line shopping order a few months back I was happy to receive a few of these starbucks bottles as promotional samples. I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy these beverages are. My husband wasn’t entirely impressed with them but …

Okay. I have a beef, a big beef, and I regret to say that it has absolutely nothing to do with hamburger, sirloin burgers, or any other food that has anything remotely related to beef. Rather, my beef is with this so called Arby’s Value Soft Drink.
Value? …

Winn Dixie has this brand of pickled eggs called “Southern Pickled Eggs Snack”. If you have ever tried a food that has been pickled before, then you can be able to imagine the tart taste that is associated with it. At first, I was a little skeptical about trying …

When I am not in the mood to cook there have been times that I have purchased TV dinners. Usually on of the brands that I purchase the most is Stouffer’s. While their dinners certainly are not fine cuisine they usually are palatable. I have tried several kinds and …

After tasting the tomato ketchup of various brands we at …

Although I am not overly crazy about these Little Debbie Fudge Rounds, I nonetheless purchase them from time to time. The fudge flavor is a little on the dull side, but the flavor that is there, I do like. If the fudge flavor was a little richer, I certainly …

I really was not all that impressed with Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Cheese Danish. The reason I was not impressed is because the blueberry flavor was not nearly as terrific as I had hoped that it would be. Although there was most certainly a blueberry flavor to the danish, the …

When you buy orange juice, it’s difficult to choose, as even if they’re all supposed to be the same product, they all end up tasting different in the end.
One of the brands that I have tried is Don Simon. The first good thing that I noticed about this orange …

These frozen shredded hash browns are pretty decent, although not truly delicious or anything like that. The bag is twenty-six ounces, so there’s quite a lot of shredded hash browns in a bag. Being made out of potatoes, hash browns really don’t have much flavor alone, regardless of whether …

McDonald’s french fries are my favorite. I have had french fries at Wendy’s, Burger King and Dairy Queen but none of them have as good of a flavor as the ones at McDonald’s. One of the things I like is the light crispiness of the fries and how they …

I had never bought already battered Beef Burgers but like the odd 1 when I get something from the Chip Shop. When I saw these for sale in the freezer section in my local Supermarket then I just had to give them a try. The price for these were …

I used not to like Mee Siam. In case you are wondering what this is, it is actually a gravy type of noodles, but the very thin strips one. Not the thick noodles like your spaghetti, though.
The gravy has to be spicy for me and in …

I personally love dumplings usually made with seasoned chicken broth, and rice. Now I do like to try different kind of dumplings. This time around I decided to try Streits Matzo Ball Mix. They are Jewish dumplings that I was introduced to me by my mother who also likes …

I used to be just contented with whatever brand of vinegar I used. But when an exposé about how synthetic vinegar harms out health came out I became very investigative. I practically read all the descriptions of all the vinegar brands in the market and it is only …

I was a vegetarian for a good few years before I realised how valuable red lentils could be to me. Lentils somehow never sounded very nice and anyway I did not want to be a lentil-eating hippie like Neil from The Young Ones. The other thing that …
