Hot Pockets Chicken Quesadilla is unfortunately a bad example of a Mexican classic. I felt like a good Mexican chicken dish and thought the hand held pocket size sandwich would be good. Boy was I wrong! The hot pocket comes with a crispy tool that you put the …

Wendy’s - Triple Stack is not quite as flavorful as the Double Stack. The reason? Although a third hamburger patty is added to the sandwich, at the same time, toppings are removed. Both the pickles and onions get the boot on the this sandwich and that is definitely disappointing …

Healthy Ones has the approval of the American Heart Association. It’s …

The jalapeno-flavored “stix” from Pringles are just as tasty and good as the cheese-flavored “stix”. The jalapeno flavor has been pretty successfully transferred to these “stix” and they’re even a little hot and biting in taste. They do remind me of jalapenos, and I’m glad that these “stix” turned …

Today I just made a review about the gourmet crepe that I loved. I will continue it with another good dish from the same restaurant café Breton. Café Breton serves both gourmet and dessert crepes so I was lucky enough to try one of each type. For the dessert …

Airplane food is not exactly a subject that makes people hungry. It used to be that passengers got meals on the plane for free, breakfast, lunch and dinner choices. Now, the closest image that can be drummed up are tiny bags of peanuts or small and un-filling bags of …

I’ve been using Great Value Beef Patties for my homemade burgers, and I am very satisfied with them. 12 frozen, ready-to-cook patties come in a re-sealable plastic bag. Unlike some other brands, the patties are not tightly frozen together, so you don’t have to struggle trying to break them …

I’m not sure if this is available everywhere (but I’m pretty sure yes), but the ones I’ve been to in Ontario offer this. Just for one dollar, there’s a cup of coffee, sausages, croissant, fries, and scarmbled eggs. The food is not at all greasy/oily, and actually covers many …

I first bought this brand of banana chips thinking that it was actually the brand “Nices.” Thinking about it now,the company who makes “Extra Nice Banana Chips” has a pretty good marketing strategy since their packaging and name is very very similar to “Nices Banana Chips.” However, it is …
