Food Reviews
Dak Ham
This ham is perfect for anyone with a small food budget like myself. I can buy some wheat tortillas, eggs, sour cream, hot sauce and Dak Ham and be fed for the week for under fifteen dollars. The ham itself is pretty salty, so I wouldn’t recomend eating it …
Pacific Natural Foods Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
Pacific Natural Foods makes a terrific all natural, organic soup line. I’ve tried several, but in this review am writing about Creamy Butternut Squash Soup. The soup comes in a box that is approximately 8″ tall, 3″ wide and 1″ deep. I mention this because it makes the soup …
ACT II Popcorn Balls

After searching the town for some, …

Douwe Egberts Filter Coffee (Medium Roast)
I drink a lot of coffee and it has to be of good quality, but at the same time I am on a budget so I try and find brands that taste good and are inexpensive too. This Douwe Egberts Filter Coffee is a brand I regularly buy, …
M&M’s Minis in a Tube
I saw these last year and loved them and was happy to see them again this year. What I’m talking about are M&M’s Minis in a Tube. I adore regular M&M’s, but these minis are tiny little things that continue the milk chocolate goodness of regular size …
Our Family Corn Dogs
Product description: Box of frozen, battered corn dogs. I found them on sale for $1.99 this past Sunday.
What I liked about this product: The big one is obviously the price. Corn dogs are surprisingly expensive around here and the fact I found a decent-sized box for under $2 is …
Satay Sauce
I love Satay Sauce very much. If you go to any hawker stall to order Satay food, make sure that the stallholder does include Satay Sauce together with your Satay dish.
That is a must in everything. The most favorite flavor that I love about Satay Sauce …
Branston Baked Beans
I never heard about this brand of baked beans until one of my father’s friends brought it from abroad and gave it to us along with a few other items. Up until now, I’m not even sure which country it originated from, but I was quite eager to try …
Donut Boys - Cream Filled Long Johns Donut
Here in Trinidad we have a local donut chain (Donut Boys) which actually started from a local pizzeria place (Pizza Boys.) But it became so popular the donut branch now has it’s own branches all over the place.
Donut Boys has a variety of donuts to choose from and it …
Ritter Sport Chocolate Yogurt Flavor
I love chocolates and one thing that I could not resist really are chocolates that are not too sweet. I went to the supermarket the other day and found me a good batch of Ritter Sport chocolates. I am not usually a huge fan but since I was craving …
McCormick Original Taco Seasoning Mix
As I have begun to prepare more Mexican food at home, I have also been searching for a decent easy and quick mix for tacos. That is why I tried out McCormick Original Taco Seasoning Mix recently.
My take on the McCormick Original Taco Seasoning Mix was that it …
Hershey’s Drops
I just discovered Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Drops at my local grocery store, Safeway. They are labeled on the package as new items by hershey and I have not seem them at many other stores. They are pretty much just drops of chocolate. The best way to describe …
Almond Breeze milk substitute (cold case)
I bought Almond Breeze on the suggestion of a relative who is also diabetic and watching her carb intake. Made from almonds, this milk substitute has almost no carbs, very low calories, and no soy. It can be purchased as a shelf stable milk in cartons, and also …
Dr. Pepper made with cane sugar
Dr. Pepper made with cane sugar is an extremely unique taste. This taste is nothing new to those of you who live around Dublin, Texas. Dr. Pepper’s made at this small town bottling company, known as ‘Dublin Dr. Pepper’s’, are made with pure cane sugar. In …
Trop50
Trop50 is gross. Advertised as a juice product with 50% less sugar, trop50 is not even really orange juice. It is “vitamin enriched juice drink.” I expected that it would taste like regular orange juice, just a little bit less sweet. I was wrong. …
Nature’s Pride Yellow Split Peas
Nature’s Pride Yellow Split Peas are a packaged dry type of pea which can be used in soups or to make regular split peas to go over rice with another dish such as stewed chicken to add extra flavour and nutrition to a meal.
The problem with some split peas …
Cloverhill Bakery - Blueberry Donuts
Some supermarket grocery stores carry blueberry donuts made by Cloverhill Bakery. If your supermarket does not, do not worry, you are really not missing out on anything all that good. While I will say that the blueberry donuts are tastier than the cherry and strawberry donuts, the donuts still …
Propel Fitness Water
I recently had a friend recommend Propel Fitness water by the makers of Gatorade to me. I drink a lot of liquids while I am at work but sometimes find it difficult to get in my eight glasses of water each day, so thought that I would give it …
Prego Heart Smart Traditional Italian Tomato Sauce
I was clearing up the pantry the other day, and I saw the Prego Heart Smart Traditional Italian Tomato Sauce. As it was already nearing expiry date, I decided to cook a Sunday meal for my family using it. I don’t usually cook, but pasta seemed very …
Checkers’ Big Buford
Of all the burgers I’ve had at Checkers, my favorite would definitely have to be the Big Buford. There’s something about the double-stacked burger that makes my mouth water, and I think it definitely has something to do with that famous Checkers’ seasoning.
The Big Buford is a double burger …
Big Peach Soda
I personally love peaches, whether it’s the actual fruit or drink, or even cosmetic product. Although I prefer the most natural scents and taste of peaches. With that being said, I decided to try the soda big peach when spotting it while getting gas station. Since it was only …
Big Breakfast at McDonald’s
I just took the last bite of my Mc Donald’s Big Breakfast Meal. I am really into this breakfast meal at the McDonald’s because I enjoy eating the muffin with Strawberry Jam. I don’t usually enjoy eating jams of any type, like orange, ube, or strawberry but when I …
Nescafe Cappuccino
After trying out Kopoki Kopiccino, Nescafe released their own instant version of Cappuccino. After green tea, I am always delighted to see varieties of coffees in the supermarket. I love tasting different flavors from mocha, caramel, cappuccino and chocolate latte. It is very exciting to have a different flavors …

Bounty Chocolate Bars
The Bounty chocolate bar is absolute classic confectionary and I bought one recently for the first time in years - I have been concentrating on trying the newer bars I suppose. These are manufactured by American company, Mars, although they are apparently not so widely available in the …
Clancy’s Traditional Party Mix
Clancy’s Traditional Party Mix is a great alternative to the more expensive mixes that are sold in grocery stores. This is pretty much the only party mix that I’ve come across that sells for just under two dollars and comes in a fifteen ounce bag. It’s a great value …
Arizona Diet Iced Tea
I have just switched my brand of diet iced tea, and I am pleasantly pleased. I had been buying Snapple, but didn’t feel like it really tasted like tea, more like soda pop. I tried Lipton, which was not much better. My daughter suggested in the …
Snapple Peach Iced Tea
I have just lately started drinking Snapple peach iced tea, because my parents buy it for themselves. So I thought I would try it. I am familiar with regular Snapple, but this is a nice change from that because of the fruity taste. What’s nice about it is that …
Nestle’s Stixx
I looked in my mailbox one day last week and was delighted to find a small package. Like the song from “Sound of Music” says, “brown paper packages tied up with string” are among my favorite things.
The package contained Nestle’s Stixx, which was a new product launched in …
Stouffer’s Chicken and Pasta
Stouffer’s Chicken and Pasta is a very enjoyable meal that is both satisfying to my taste buds and quite filling as well - and that is the kind of meal that I look forward to having at night! Let us begin with the chicken. The chicken is grilled and …
Cadbury’s 5 Star Fruit and Nut
I’ve always been a big fan of chocolates. Lately I’ve been hooked to a chocolate bar manufactured by one of the largest chocolate company- Cadbury. They originally manufacture a product known as 5 Star which is one of Cadbury’s first creations. It is basically a milk chocolate bar with …
Eight O’clock Juice Powder
Eight O’clock Juice Powder is another delicious and cheaper alternative if you want to enjoy fruit juice. This powder juice is one of the most popular brands in the market. The orange flavor of Eight O’clock Juice Powder is comparatively better than that of Tang Juice Powder because it …
McCormick Sausage Flavor Country Gravy
By just stirring in 2 cups of water and bringing this powdered mix to a boil, you can have a tasty gravy to put on fried chicken or biscuits. A little heavier on the black pepper than I might have originally wanted, still it’s an easy and relatively quick …
Curry sauce from Vitasia and recipe
Hi again,
I will talk today about this very tasteful sauce from Vitasia: Curry Sauce.

Tree Top Naturally Sweetened Apple Sauce
Tree Top Naturally Sweetened Apple Sauce is one of the best apple sauces out there, in my opinion. I’ve enjoyed this item for many years and have rarely been disappointed.
What I usually buy now is Tree Top Naturally Sweetened Apple Sauce in a very convenient six-pack of four-ounce …
Great Value Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal
I admit that I’m no fan of oatmeal, but I know that it’s something that I should be eating because of how healthy it is for the body and heart. Starting off the day with a bowl of oatmeal is supposed to be one of the best ways a …
Whittaker’s Fruit and Nut Milk Chocolate Bar
I like to try new stuff so when I was in the supermarket looking for new chocolates to munch on, I saw a bunch of Whittaker’s chocolates. Each came in bars of different flavors and I wanted to try every one of them. I saw their Fruit and Nut, …
Nandos Hot Peri-Peri Flavoured Crisps
If you like your crisps with a lot of heat, then you will love these Nandos Hot Peri-Peri flavoured crisps. For me they are a little too hot and I would prefer the spicy flavour of Sensations Sweet Chilli or whatever they are called. But I think …
Tic Tacs
For some reason, I have been enjoying Tic Tacs lately. My husband acutally had some bloodwork done recently and it showed that his bloodsugar was just the slightest bit higher than where it should be. As a result, he immediately began to decrease sugars from his diet …
Lyle’s golden syrup
I’ve been using Lyle’s golden syrup for quite a while now and I am finding this product very good especially when I am preparing pancakes at home. I usually spread it generously on top of my pancake. Before I use golden syrup I normally just had a …
Snackwell’s Devilsfood Cookies
One of my favorite snacks is made by Nabisco and it is called Snackwell’s Devils Food Cookies. These cookies are fantastic and they cost about $2.99 per box. I keep them hidden from the rest of the family to make sure that I get some because that is the …
Hunts Snack Pack Pudding
I am both in awe and very frightened of this product. It is a dairy product you do not need to refrigerate. Why doesn’t it need to be refrigerated? I have no idea but I assume it means they did something to process it to make it …
Thomas’: Mini Brown Sugar Cinnamon Bagels
I found Thomas’: Mini Brown Sugar Cinnamon Bagels to be moderately enjoyable, although I feel that they could certainly stand some improvement in regards to the amount of cinnamon that is baked into these bagels. First though, let me go over what I like about these small bagels because …
McVitie’s Digestives (Biscuits)
McVitie’s provides the best biscuits that I have ever eaten. Their Digestive biscuits will always be my favorite. Other biscuits are far too buttery and dry, but McVitie’s provides us with something different! Digestive biscuits are a wheat cookie that go great with tea. I love dipping them in …
Common Mint, English Mint
Great stuff! I got my first regular Mint plant about a month and a half ago, bought it from Lowes garden center for around three bucks and fifty cents. I transplanted it immediately and it exploded with new growth the next day. Incredibly easy to grow and care for, …
Sun-Rype Fruit to Go Squiggles
These new fruit snacks come in a variety of flavors. The are 100% fruit which is great news for parents everywhere. While each piece is only 60 calories, it also has 15 grams of sugar and you can definitely taste it.
These fruit snacks are almost sickeningly sweet to me …
Tranquil’s Tuna Sandwich
I absolutely love tuna and I always make it at home in a completely different way. Definitely not tuna salad style. Either way, I was introduced to Tranquil’s Tuna Sandwich by one of my friends who was very accustomed to having them. They only come available in already sliced …
McCormick Country Gravy Mix
One of my favorite breakfast foods is biscuits and gravy. However, making it at home it’s sometimes hard to find a gravy that’s comparable to what you get in a restaurant. Problem solved.
McCormick Sausage Flavor Country Gravy Mix is great. It’s thick and creamy with a great peppery flavor. …
