Eskimo Pie
I stopped at my parents to borrow a couple things I needed for chili last night and, because they weren’t eating them and knew we would, they sent home part of a box of Eskimo Pies with me.
I got a chance to try them and I have to confess, …
Great Value: Steamable Mixed Garden Medley
Great Value: Steamable Mixed Garden Medley is not exactly my favorite of the frozen vegetable line by Walmart, but it most certainly is something different to have every now and then. What is included in the medley? Well, there is red peppers and there is also roasted red potatoes …
Sprite Soda
During break time in school, me and my friends are always going on our school’s canteen to buy some snack for our merienda. We prefer buying some bread or crackers with matching a soda. Speaking of a soda, I am buying Sprite Soda. I still prefer drinking this drink …
Copperhead Red Wine by Cache River Winery
I am a big fan of Illinois wine. I am not a wine snob and probably officially wouldn?t know what experts call a really good wine if you hit me with it.
But, I am a fan of good tasting wines. I prefer whites, usually, because they are sweeter without …
7-11 Purple S’Creme Slurpee
Recently, 7-11 announced a new Slurpee flavor, and being the addict that I am, I had to check it out. The concept is that the icy treat itself is purple but the flavor is that of vanilla — or more specifically vanilla creme. My review of the …
Richard Childress Seasoning Blend
I picked up the Richard Childress Seasoning Blend on a trip to Welcome, North Carolina. On our vacation we stopped by the Childress Vineyards to pick up some wine to take back to Ohio with us and I ended up grabbing a few other food products while we were …
Campbell’s Soup at Hand : Cream of Broccoli
I like having something nice and warm to drink halfway through my day, and I decided to try Campbell’s Soup at Hand for a somewhat cheaper and quicker alternative to heading down to the cafe every day. The first flavor I tried was Cream of Broccoli.
First off, the …
Lean Cuisine Butternut Squash Ravioli Meal
Lean Cuisine is a line of frozen entrees known for their low calorie count. Knowing this, I did not expect too much from my meal of Butternut Squash Ravioli. For one thing, I know that diet food often is not that good, and for another, I do not really …
Holy Crap health food
This is a great health food. I first found out about it on Dragon’s Den where they pitched the idea to entrepreneurs and sold the product very well.
This cereal is really healthy for you. It has organic dried fruit, chia, hemp seeds and buckwheat, which make it …
Newman’s Own All Natural Chunky Salsa - Mild
Recently, I decided to splurge a bit and instead of using just packets of taco sauce for my homemade tacos, I tried out Newman’s Own All Natural Chunky Salsa - Mild. As a fan of actor Paul Newman, I have long applauded what his charity organization has done. …
Cascadian Farm Organic Granola Bars

Chivas Regal Whiskey
Chivas Regal is one of the costliest drinks I have had. But in truth I am not a big fan of Chivas Regal Scotch whiskey. I usually drink whiskeys and they tend work good for my tastes. But Chivas Regal was not that smooth and did not taste excellent. …
Gorton’s Seafood Company
I’m not a person who eats a ton of fish. It used to be one of my favorite foods but it is so darn expensive when you try to buy it at the store; even fish sticks.
However, my wife and I have been eating it more often now so …
Arizona Vitamin C Fortified Kiwi Strawberry drink
Arizona Vitamin C Fortified Kiwi Strawberry drink did not do much to tantalize my taste buds. It comes in a cute can decorated with pictures of colorful strawberries and kiwi fruits. For only 99 cents, it is a really good deal volume wise, and it is made …
Pillsbury Heat-N-Go Mini Pancakes Maple Burst’n
Frozen foods typically offer a good degree of convenience, be it if a person is short on time or short on cooking skills. While the quality isn’t always there, sometimes frozen foods can come out of the microwave, or in some instances the oven, tasting just as fresh and …
Fresh Stuffed Salmon Fillets (Albertsons #933)
One night I decided to go to Albertsons and look around. I usually do this when I don’t know what to make for dinner. I usually glance around and it gives me ideas. I was looking in the seafood section because they usually have good sales on lobster tails. …
Rold Gold Pretzels in Honey Wheat
I am a huge pretzel fan, and usually choose them over potato chips; when I found Rold Gold Pretzels in Honey Wheat on sale for just a dollar per 43gram bag, I bought five of them. What really attracted me to them was the smart selections green seal on …
Betty Crocker - Fudge Brownies

Prawn Patties
I love the delicious taste of Prawn Patties. Just in case you do not know what this delicious snack is, it is actually patties stuffed with prawns and it’s best to eat especially if it’s dipped with breadcrumbs and cornflour.
The dipping sauce can be anything from chili sauce right …
Podravka Ketchup
I really like ketchup but I can’t eat every ketchup because I really don’t like those sweet ones which don’t even taste like ketchup. I’ve tried a lot of different ketchups in my life and I hated more of them than I liked them. Even some of the very …
Compliments Caramel Flavor Rice Cakes
I now buy these instead of the name brand rice cakes. My kids absolutely love rice cakes and I was buying them everytime I went to the grocery store. I used to buy the name brand packages for over two dollars a pack, but I decided to try the …
Milo Powdered Malted Chocolate Drink by Nestle
I always have a chocolate drink within a day. Sometimes, I prefer chocolate drinks over coffee because some coffee have bad after effect on me. There are some coffees that makes me awake all night and would sometimes cause my muscles to move involuntarily. I grew up drinking chocolate …
Velveeta Shells and Cheese
I’ve never tried any of the Velveeta products before now, but I had heard how good the easy to make macaroni was, and I wanted to give it a try.
The Velveeta shells and cheese box was a little small to be making macaroni, but I didn’t worry about it …
Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
I’ve been hearing a lot about the health benefits of Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar so I was convinced to try using this product in my cooking instead of the ordinary clear vinegar we have in the market although this is of course comparatively much more expensive. I think …
Nescafe Latte
I love drinking coffee. It has really became part of my life already. Since Singapore culture promotes coffee drinking pretty well, due to the fact that our working hours(for the most of us) are really really long.
Nowadays, most of my time, especially those IT jobs require quite a bit …
Nature’s Promise Organic Almond Butter
After much deliberation about the hefty $ 9.99 price tag, I picked up a 16 ounce jar of this smooth, unsalted almond butter. The only ingredient listed is “organic dry roasted unblanched almonds”, which is very important to me. I had almond butter before (different brand), so …
Combos-Nacho Cheese
Who ever thought of combos deserves an award. Combos are a pretzle, that is made into a tube form, and then filled with cheese. These are really tasty, and fillling. i usually like to go on a search for combos when im on a road trip and stop off …
Jaffa choco-crispy cream yogurt

When it comes about salad, I always rely on this Lady’s Choice Mayonnaise. Nothings compares when it comes to mayonnaise. This kind of mayo Ladys Choice is really good, taste so good. I always make egg sandwich and I always put Ladys Choice Mayonnaise on it. We had so …
Vindija Vanilla Milk pudding 125g
I usually prefer chocolate puddings to vanilla ones so I really don’t know why I even bought this vanilla pudding at the first place but I am actually glad I did because it taste fine. I bought one chocolate one from another brand and this Vindija vanilla milk pudding …
Clover Valley Extra Wide Egg Noodles
The other day while I was shopping at the Dollar General, I walked down one of their grocery aisles and saw they had only two bags of egg noodles on their shelf. Thinking they must be good if all of the other bags were sold out, I put the …

Jamaican Patties snack

Sargento - Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
Sargento - Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese is the only type of cheese that I use when I have the time and urge to make a homemade cheesecake. If I do not have the cheese on me at the time, I simply do not make the cheesecake and I only …
Nestle Fitnesse Honey & Almond Cereal
For quite some time now, I could not eat breakfast without any egg on my plate. After reading too many cases of increased cholesterol, I ventured eating foods without egg on it. I experimented with cereal and I first tried Nestle Fitnesse Honey & Almond. I just poured …
Johnny’s French Dip Au Jus Sauce
My husband truly enjoys french dip sandwiches and I often make them for him at home. The keys to a good french dip are very simple. You need good quality meat, a fresh bun and a good dip sauce. The dip sauce is very important because …
St Helier Pear Cider
As this is a drink I was unsure what category to put this in so here it is stuck in the food one.
Pear cider..what’s so exciting about that? Well apparently years ago orchard owners kept a corner of their orchard for growing pears for their cider as they believed …
Natures Way EfaGold Coconut Oil
One of the coconut oils I enjoy using is the Nature’s Way EfaGold Coconut Oil. I like this coconut oil because it is organic and made from pure coconuts and nothing artificial. I like that I can use this oil for cooking with and for beauty purposes.
Now the oil …
Eclipse Peppermint Gum
Eclipse Peppermint Gum is just okay, nothing fancy about it and nothing worth bragging about to you guys. I am a big gum chewer, and I enjoy many of the sugarless brands, but not this one. I mean, if there is nothing available, I will chew it, …
Zacky Farms Jumbo Chicken Franks
My husband and I had never purchased any product by Zacky Farms and had pretty much been cutting back on hot dogs, in our quest to eat better. However, sometimes the urge just hits you and you have to have a certain food. When shopping at a …
Vegemite By Kraft
Vegemite is a concentrated yeast extract which is used as spread for sandwiches, toast, crackers and whatever you would like to put it on. Vegemite is very Australian. Actually we don’t have this in Manila where I came from. When I got here in Sydney my …

Cooper’s Cheeseburger
Only at ALDI Food Market stores have I come across a single, frozen cheeseburger from a company named Cooper’s. The frozen cheeseburger is flame broiled, and that’s what caught my attention as I really like hamburgers that are flame-broiled. Plus, the cheeseburger came on a sesame seed bun, and …
5 Hour Energy Drink
Ever since I started working at nights, I had the problem of staying up throughout the night and on the way home. I tried naps, that kinda worked. I tried coffee, I hate coffee. I drink tea but that doesn’t help me that much. Then, …
Yoplait Light Yogurt is the best yogurt
With most yogurts in the marketplace, the calories are usually high, taste is lacking, and the health benefits aren’t always there. Yoplait Light fat free yogurt offers the taste and right amount of sweetness for 100 calories per serving. You simply can not find anything in the …
Ben and Jerry’s Cake Batter Ice Cream
I was intrigued by this cake batter ice cream and very curious about what it would taste like. It was released in 2008 as part of Ben and Jerry’s 30th “birthday” celebration (more like an anniversary, really).
Lately, I’ve become very interested in these ice creams whose flavors are actually …
Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix
