For the first time in years, I didn’t cook a whole turkey for the holidays. I visited family, and they didn’t serve turkey. Now, I didn’t say anything, since I wanted to be polite, but I had a real craving for turkey. It’s traditional. So …

I don’t know about all of you but I love celery. It is one of my favorite vegetables and I love to incorporate it into as many meals as possible. I usually don’t get the chance to use celery unless I’m baking something or making a stew. I like …

One late afternoon right after coming out of the office, I dropped by a nearby supermarket and scouted for food that my kids could bring to school. This task is one that I like doing because I get to choose good food for my little ones. It is also …

One night I needed a fast nutritious meal, so I bought a Lean Cuisine dinner. I’ve bought other Stouffer’s Lean Cuisine meals and usually had good results and taste I had high hopes for the Shrimp in a Creamy Seafood Sauce Meal.
Stouffer’s does some jazzy packaging. The shrimp dinner …

What a piece of crap Don’s Chuck Wagon golden mushroom batter mix turned out to be. I just did a fried fish night and along with the fried fish I incorporated fried mushrooms. I have had fried mushrooms in restaurants, and I always wanted to recreate them at home, I …

Hebrew National Beef Franks have been around for a long time, but I’ve never tried them until recently. Frankly (not to be pun-ful here), I really prefer not to think about what is in a hot dog. I know it’s not the best stuff, but like the …

Just recently, I was at Burger King, looking over the menu, and I came across something called a Steakhouse Burger. I had come across this burger in the past while at Burger King, but never tried it. This would not be one of those times, though. I ordered one …

This is a ready to eat food which is so easy to prepare because you just needed to soak the foiled pack into hot or boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes. I purchased this wonderful and delicious product from Hypercity Grocery for the purpose of quickie food since …

In need of a low-fat, low-calorie, healthy and yet tasty snack with no preparation time and in such a great supply you’ll have snacks for days to come? Look no further than the cereal aisle, where one will find the delicious Life Cereal in its cinnamon variety. …

I came home for lunch today not really knowing what I was going to eat. I was glad my wife remembered we had a box of Hot Pockets in our freezer.
Even though several companies have tried to copy Hot Pockets, they don’t even come close to both the taste …

Now that I am older, eating better has become a priority. As my metabolism begins to slow, I have tried to alter my eating habits to more whole grains so that I can eat less but stay full longer. One way that I have done this is by introducing …

Cheese is my weakness and has been for as long as I can remember. I am guilty of stocking up on different kinds of cheese, usually in the form of string cheese for snacking purposes. Which is how I came to try Kraft Tomato Basil String Cheese Snacks. My …

I am a true pizza connoisseur. But my tastes lie more with NY style pies than the typical pies sold in chains like Domino’s or Pizza Hut. But when I have a taste for pizza, and don’t feel like spending $20 for a restaurant pie, I …

I used to eat Cocoa Puffs, made by General Mills, on occasion because I found it to be a reasonably tasty breakfast cereal that was both chocolaty and crunchy. I liked how the Cocoa Puffs never became excessively soggy in milk like many other breakfast cereals did and I …

Why this version of Andre champagne bears the name of Cold Duck, I have no idea. I decided to try it after buying two other kinds, Andre Peach Passion (good) and Andre Pink Champagne (okay). Cold Duck is dark red in color, more like a table wine than champagne. …

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 …

Growing up, I was a chocolate junkie. I still love chocolate, but I think I’m more finicky these days and I like a bit of variety with the chocolate. For example, instead of chocolate on chocolate, I prefer a white cake with chocolate frosting, or a chocolate …

I bought the Han Kuk Mi brown rice from the Price Smart #2207 grocery chain store in Surrey, British Columbia on May 9, 2009. I have been cooking and eating white rice for so long, while my friends have been telling me that brown rice was more healthy.
The …

Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix allows for the creation of average tasting pancakes. The reason I say average is because this pancake mix requires the addition of water opposed to milk. Pancakes that are made using water typically fall apart easier and do not quite taste as good or come …

My local store is carrying more local produce than ever before. They are supporting the farmers and growers in the Northern California region, and that’s a great thing to see. I’m really not that big of a fruit and vegetable eater, but one food that I have …

Okay, I never thought in a million thousand years that I would ever do a review about a bagged and frozen chinese food product, but this one is the one that broke the mold. My husband and I are true budgeters so we shop at Aldi from time to …

I am a perpetual dieter and a person who loves to eat out. When they advertise healthier, low calorie meals at restaurants, I am one of the first to try them out. Recently I’d seen several ads for Applebee’s new menu items that had 550 calories or less, and …

I just found the perfect competition of Nutella, it’s Nugatti which I just bought for $1. I thought the packaging looked like Nutella, so I bought it. The price is about the same, although Nutella has a lot more content at 13 ounces. This is a …

Sports drinks are like my best friends because such beverages give me comfort after an extremely tiring activity. 100 Plus Isotonic Sports Drink is no different. It is the newest sports drink out in the market and I decided to try it after watching its very compelling advertisement on …

I have just tried making Pillsbury Cherry Turnovers for the first time, and I think it’s a keeper. My husband and I loved them, even though I had messed up a little when cooking.
Unlike some other Pillsbury baking products I’ve tried, these cherry turnovers are not “heat and eat,” …

At Starbucks, holiday season means an array of limited time seasonal drinks that are a wonderful way to get in the holiday spirit. One of my favorites is the gingerbread latte, which typically rolls out shortly after Halloween. Sweet and a bit spicy, the syrup tastes almost exactly like …

I went to the grocery store the other day and came across something in a red and yellow package which was also semi-clear in parts. Through these clear parts I could see something which seems to be chocolate covered. I only assumed these were another brand of imported rolled …

I love to eat cheesecakes. I have always wanted to bake cheesecakes but found that it was too much of a hassle to do so. I have had a lot of cheesecakes that I have tried, and since I cannot afford to buy cheesecakes all the time, every time, …

I’m beginning to feel like my mother. I used to always get on her case because she’d go shopping and come home with the wrong thing, not intentionally but because she’d reach for one thing and end up pulling something else off the shelf. I guess it’s …

As I mentioned in another review, the Reese’s company (part of Hershey) had such success with their yummy peanut butter cups that they’ve begun to spread their wings quite a bit. One of the first variations of their famous candy treat that they came up with is Reese’s …

I love a great brownie. However, cooking isn’t always my thing and, even worse, I hate cleaning. As a result, nowadays, I’m always looking for good food that I can cook without really cooking and definitely without cleanup, or at least not much.
For years, my favorite was …

I have been eating Lemonhead candy for years. Ever since I was a kid I loved to sit and chew on those yellow balls of goodness. It wasn’t enough for me to eat them in the morning. I had to eat them in the evening and at night. Boy, …

I confess — I’m not big on organics. I’m traditional with my food, and organic products tend to cost more than regular foods, but I recently took a chance and purchased Newman’s Own Organics - Champion Chip Cookies. I was prepared to hate them. I hesitantly broke …

I only purchased David’s Deli - Plain Bagels once and the reason for that is the bagels seemed to be on the stale side even though I had my first one the very next morning and the “best used by date” was far off. I always check the dates …

I’ve been into organic foods for a while now, but have noticed a distinct difference between Strauss Organic milk and other major brands of organic milk that can be purchased in any grocery store. First of all the presentation is beautiful and seems very old-world as it comes in …

I found this Blue Bunny Champ! Banana Split Ice Cream Cones to be a satisfactory treat, although admittedly, I did expect more from this ice cream cone. The vanilla ice cream, for one, just was not as good as it normally is. Generally, Blue Bunny has pretty tasty vanilla …

Readers of my reviews will know that I’ve slowly been experimenting by trying out the various Hormel Compleats lineup of products. As a whole, I’ve enjoyed the meals, even though I see room for improvement on just about all of the them. Teh latest variety that I’ve …

I’d like to think that I am making an effort to follow a healthier diet but sometimes I crave chocolate like you wouldn’t believe. I fear that one day I will be caught red-handed and covered in chocolate like the tubby kid in Willy Wonka’s factory.
…

As far as I remember, right from my childhood I have been seeing the Nescafe brand coffee being consumed in my family. They have been so loyal to the brand that I have never seen any other brand in my house, to be truthful. As I grew, I also …

Who doesn’t love Easy Mac??!?! When you are in college with only a microwave in your dorm room and the eatery is closed, what do you do? You pour the noodles in a bowl, pour some water in the bowl, put it in the microwave a few …

Great Value: Sour Cream & Onion are just as good as the name brand products. Compared with the Lays and Pringles Sour Cream & Onion varieties, the Walmart Great Value brand stacks up very well in terms of flavor and beats the name brand when it comes to value. …

One of my most favourite meals is cauliflower cheese, with peas and a baked potato and, although I can make my own cauliflower cheese from scratch, it is a lot of fuss and bother and I frequently buy the Tesco Cauliflower Cheese instead as it is very good. …

This Golden Vegetable Savoury Rice is from Tesco’s bargain ‘Value’ range which I have been sampling a lot of lately. This was a very low price at only 28 pence for a sachet and I would use one sachet as a side dish to two, or possibly three …

I love Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey. It is wonderfully light and refreshing, perfect for quenching thirst. Green tea is known for its weight loss properties and as an antioxidant, protecting your body from cancer. When I drink Arizona Green Tea I feel I have made a …

Stouffer’s Extra Cheese French Bread Pizza is an enjoyable treat that I think cheese lovers will be satisfied with. I definitely consider myself a cheese lover and I find this pizza to be an enjoyable one to have. I think it is one of the best frozen French bread …

I love Reasor’s stores. The kids they hire are friendly and more outgoing than the usual places. They are all dressed in their whites and jeans. However, the prices of everything in those stores are so high. For example, Totino’s pizzas are about 50 cents more than Wal Mart. …

Chili and melted cheese have been common hot dog toppings for decades. While the combination of the two may not be as popular as say ketchup, mustard or relish, there are plenty of people out there, including myself, that enjoy chili and cheese on a hot dog. It may …

Many people who are serious coffee devotees shun instant coffee. And for the longest time, I understood why. However, when I purchased this store brand of instant coffee for the first time to use in a recipe, I wasn’t sure what else to do with it besides trying to …

I generally get Lean Pockets for times when I just want to get a quick, easy lunch and don’t feel like going to a lot of trouble.
They recently came out with a new product-Subs. They are a lot more “sandwich-like,” in my estimation. The bread is softer and …
