Nathan’s Beef Franks
I know that Nathan’s is a well known brand, but it is not the brand for me. Nathan’s Beef Franks, to me, are much to greasy to be edible. Seeing and tasting all that grease just makes my appetite vacate my stomach. Greasy foods used to not bother me …
Kroger Honey Nut Toasted Oats
Kroger Honey Nut Toasted Oats is a brand of cereal that is manufactured by and sold at Kroger. They are modeled after Honey Nut Cheerios, and you know, I actually like this store brand better than the name brand! The reason is this: the Kroger cereal is actually crunchier …
Chocolove XOXO Raspberries in Dark Chocolate
Although I’m not a big fan of fruit with chocolate, I decided to try this chocolate bar on a whim when it was on sale. Raspberries seemed like a good combination for chocolate, and I love dark chocolate; this combination is really delicious, and I was really happy with …
Stouffer’s Lasagna
I just finished eating some yummy Stouffer’s Lasagna . It is the closest to homemade taste that you can get without spending hours in the kitchen . Other than this brand of lasagna , I will only eat a home cooked lasagna . I am very picky and I’m …
Fantastic Noodle Cups
The Fantastic Noodle Cups make a great and filling snack that’s easy to make and only takes a couple of minutes to prepare. They are very cheap and only cost around AU$1.82 for a 70g sized cup which I find is just enough to make a satisfying …
Haggen Bran Muffin
For those of us who are of a certain age, getting enough fiber can be problematic. Our local Haggen store has a delicious Bran and Raisin muffing that has lots of flavor and lots of fiber.
Besides the much appreciated fiber, these muffins can, with a cup of the mandatory …
Al Haaq’s Potato Salad
I absolutely love potato salad and when I started working at my current job all the workers and even the boos kept on talking about Al Haaq’s BBQ food. I put it off for a long time but one evening I finally gave in and bought a box of …
Farley’s Rusks
Farley’s Rusks are made by those food giants Heinz and are something that just about every new mother buys for her new baby once they reach the weaning stage.
Funnily enough when my two little boys were babies they were never too keen on them, however now they are older- …
Stacy’s Pita Chips
Stacy’s Pita Chips are my new favorite snack food and they are really not that bad for your health. These delicious chips come in a variety of flavors and none of them are very high in calories or saturated fat. I love how they are flavorful while …
Betty Crocker - Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins
Betty Crocker - Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins really do deserve to have the word “chocolate” used twice in its product name! These chocolate chocolate chip muffins are quite rich in chocolate flavor, whether you are biting into the muffin or one of the many chocolate chips! There is chocolate …
Todai Seafood & Sushi Buffet in Puente Hills Mall
Todai Seafood Buffet…where do I start? Okay, I’ll start by giving the bottom line: this place is amazing. Before coming, I was a little skeptical that an all-you-can-eat Japanese buffet would be any good; most Asian buffets fall flat in the flavor department and are overpriced. True …
Idahoan Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
If you’ve got a pack of Idahoan Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes in your kitchen, you can make a yummy side dish only in a couple of minutes. All you need is some hot water and a measuring cup - that’s it! Mix one cup of the potato flakes with …
Goya Cookies and Cream Bar
I remember I made a review about Hershey Cookies and Cream Bar before; Goya Cookies and cream is the local brand that I was talking about on that review. I tried this one first before Hershey comes out with its own Cookies and Cream flavor. Goya chocolate Cookies and …
Haagan Dazs Vanilla Swiss Almond ice cream
I’m sure most people have heard of Haagan Dazs. They make some really good ice creams with exotic flavors. The difference between Haagan Dazs and Ben and Jerry’s ice creams, aside from the flavors and names is that Ben and Jerry’s angle is fun and creativity. Whereas Haagan Dazs …
Tost K plus bread
This bread comes in a transparent wrapping, the slices are really thin and although the subtitle on the wrapping says bread with prolonged freshness I’d rather call it extra dry bread. There are 20 really dry slices in the wrapping and if you don’t have bread at home and …
Kroger Cinnamon Waffles
These waffles from Kroger are kind of bland. There certainly is some cinnamon flavor baked into these waffles, but it’s not enough to win me over. The cinnamon becomes particularly difficult to taste when I add a butter spread and syrup. Even if I skip the syrup, which I …
Mountain Dew Throwback
Those who grew up in the 60s and early 70s remember the delicious taste of Mountain Dew out of a bottle with a hayseed on it. The hicks in the sticks ambiance associated with that Mountain Dew apparently did not jibe with the evolution of American drinking habits during …
Jell-o Gelatin - Margarita
Jell-o Gelatin - Margarita is one of the select few gelatin flavors that I simply do not find enjoyable. Everything that a margarita drink is, this gelatin really is not, simply because it cannot be. Unlike many of the other gelatin flavors, which are derived or based off of …
Masterfoods Creamy Herb & Garlic Potato Bake
I bought one 175g packet of Masterfoods Creamy Herb & Garlic Potato Bake Recipe Base because it looked interesting, and there was more inside the pack than just powder, which is usually the case with other brands.
On the back of the packet it stated that aside from what was …
Stouffers Thai Ginger Beef frozen dinner
I wanted a Chinese meal, but was too tired to cook, so I bought Stouffers Thai Ginger Beef dinner in a 250gram box. As always I looked for the Heart & Stroke Health Check sign, and it was right there on the box! I always try and watch what …
Pringles Multigrain Crisps Truly Original
Much like the original Pringles chips improved the quality of potato chips by introducing non-greasy chips, Pringles has now once again improved the chip even more by enriching the crisps with multigrain. What multigrain is is a heart-healthy and cholesterol-lowering ingredient that comes from grains. Grains are good for …
IttiBitz Cotton Candy Ice Cream
IttiBitz Cotton Candy ice cream is a sweet, delight I found in the ice cream aisle of super Wal-Mart. It’s pretty small but the flavor packs a mean punch if you’re into cotton candy.
IttiBitz is one of those “dots” ice cream; not exactly from the company Dots, but it …
Rebisco Crackers 4 Big Pieces (35 g)
The Rebisco Crackers 4 Big Pieces is one of the Crackers that I want to eat together with my noodles with soup. It tastes good.
One morning, I feel so cold and I want to eat noodles with soup. Noodles with soup are not enough for me to be not …
Selecta Fortified Milk
I prefer to drink fresh milk before I go to bed at night. I tried this new Selecta Fortified Milk that I found in a grocery. This is sterilized filled milk that is fortified with Vitamins like A,D, B complex, calcium and Niacin that helps our bones to be …
Great Value Party Peanuts
Great Value Party Peanuts come in a 16 oz can with a plastic lid and a protective foil seal inside that you will need to remove when you first open it.
The can costs only $1.97, about a half of what brand names want for a can of the same …
Aquafina Bottled Water
As someone who is very particular about what kind of water I put into my body, I didn’t find Aquafina very impressive. It’s a cheaper brand, so I suppose you will get what you pay for (and maybe even a little less), but I still must say that I …
V-8 V Fusion Vegetable & Fruit Pomegranate Blueberry Juice
I’m no stranger to V-8 Fusion. I’ve previously tried some of their other products and completely fell in love with them. Whether it be the smoothies, energy drinks or smoothies, I am all for it. This why I decided to give V-8 V Fusion Vegetable & Fruit Pomegranate Blueberry …
Red Baron Stuffed Pizza Slices
I purchased these stuffed pizza slices because I thought they would be like the stuffed pizza slices you get at a pizzaria. Sure, they were frozen and out of a box, so they may not be as good as fresh ones. But still, I though from the picture …
Publix Strawberry and Almond Cheesecake
I can’t be certain of who introduced me to the Publix strawberry and almond cheesecake, but I give them many thanks for doing so.
Before I started eating Publix strawberry and almond cheesecake, I wasn’t really a big cheesecake eater: I didn’t eat cheesecake religiously. I remember my mom brought …
Hokey Pokey Ice Cream
Butterscotch is something that I hate for the most part. It reminds me of butterscotch candies that my grandpa used to force on me when I stayed with them, or the butterscotch pudding that they served in my school cafeteria. Hokey Pokey from New Zealand Ice Cream is billed …
Milka Collage Caramel, chocolate bar
Milka Collage is a new Milka chocolate bar, it comes in taste of raspberry and in the taste of caramel. Although I really like raspberries I must admit that the caramel version of this chocolate is way better. It tastes amazing. It is crunchy, it is chocolaty and the …
Dorayaki
Dorayaki is a popular japanese treat or snack. To a lot of westerns, they would simply describe it as two pancakes slapped together with red bean paste in the middle. Alternatively, it can also be lotus paste, which taste okay too but a bit sweet in my opinion. However, …
Stick-o Wafer stick
Multiple types of wafer sticks are available now when you go through the supermarket this days. But, for me there are only two brands that are worth purchasing. Stick-o and Sumo, with stick-o they have packed this on larger quantities when purchasing which differs from sumo since they have …
Kirk’s Potato Salad
I love potato salad and usually to get the perfect potato salad I would have to make it myself. I have only ever found one potato salad that can stand up to my recipe and it is the potato salad made by a man named Kirk who sells freshly …
Michael Cutler Brand Onions
I have a love/hate relationship with onions. I love them. My eyes hate them. It’s the type of relationship most people have with onions. Every time I cut into one I find myself having to leave the room because they are so strong. It takes my eyes at least …
Wendy’s - Baconator
Wendy’s - Baconator is a burger that can be hit or miss. The burger comes with a total six strips of bacon that is hickory smoked and whenever bacon comes on or with something, I am typically cautious. The reason I am cautious is because bacon a lot of …
Stick O Wafer Sticks
It has an addictive content, filled with chocolate inside that melts in your mouth for real, kids will love this for sure, no not just for kids but also for adults like us. One, two, three well you will surely ask for more once your mouth taste the crunch …
Nature’s Envy All Natural Original Apple Chips
My luck has been hit and miss with these apple chips. Sometimes, I’ll purchase a package, and they will be fresh, flavor and crisp. Other times, I’ll buy a package and they’ll be on the stale side and not so crisp. It’s a shame I can’t seem to get …
Scoopy’s 10 Waffle Bowls
Scoopy’s 10 Waffle Bowls is a product that was actually given to me by my sister. She’d purchased them for a party, but had a package left over, so she gave it to me. I haven’t bought these myself, though I do regularly buy Scoopy’s ice cream …
Durian: The Fruit of the Gods
Durian is an exotic fruit grown mostly in Asia, mostly in Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines. Here in my country the Philippines, durian is grown mostly in the Southern part of the country, largely in Davao, although the surrounding towns have also successfully grown this only in the past …
Blue Diamond Almond Breeze almond coconut blend unsweetened
So I recently moved to the US and I’ve started trying out different plant-based milk brands to find the one that will fullfill all my purposes. No success yet. And I’ll tell you why later on. At first, let me tell you what I expect from my plant-based milk and …
Wal-Mart’s Already Made Small Fruit Platter
Wal-Mart’s small fruit platter is a perfect option for a dessert, afternoon snack, or even for the morning’s to add with your breakfast. It’s small, which makes it perfect for an intimate meal with a loved one, or to share with a small group of friends, or even your …
Simply Organic Pure Vanilla Extract
Vanilla extract or vanilla bean seems to be such an unimportant thing, when you see it in the list of ingredients, but it’s not and there’s a big difference between the vanilla flavor or Vanillin and the real vanilla extract. I didn’t realize that until I actually got myself …
L’oven Fresh Center Split White Deli Rolls
The L’oven Fresh Center Split White Deli Rolls can be purchased from ALDI Food Market stores. In one package comes six deli rolls for one dollar and forty-nine cents. I have purchased these deli rolls a handful of times now and I’ve been as pleased with them as a …
Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich
Now here is a simple yet scrumptious sandwich that I love to order at Chick-fil-A. The Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich is a very simple sandwich, yet the flavor it offers and its size are two factors that make this simple sandwich a winner in my eyes and stomach! This chicken …
Special K French Vanilla Protein Shake
Special K products have been products that I rely on to satisfy my hunger as well as provide nutrition to last throughout my day. There was one product, the Special K French Vanilla shake, that I had heard good and bad things about, so I decided to try it …
Pet Ice Cream
Nothing beats the old traditional taste of Pet Ice Cream. Pet Ice cream is what I grew up on, in fact their Ice cream making tradition is so old, its what my motehr grew up on as well.
This is a really great tasting real milk ice cream that everyone …
Arrowhead Mills Creamy Organic Peanut Butter
Many peanut butters contain large amounts of pestisides. They also contain a carcinogenic mold called aflatoxin. I feel quite confidant that the Arrowhead Mills Organic Peanut Butter does not contain these “scary little aliens”, since they use only organic valencia peanuts. …
Act II Popcorn
My wife and I ended up spending our one evening alone (in about a month) watching movies at home. We wanted to go to the theater, but it was just too expensive.
Since we were watching movies, we popped up some Act II microwave popcorn. I used to love this …
