Orville Redenbacher’s Microwave Natural Butter Popcorn
I really like this popcorn! It is my favorite of all the different kinds and brands I’ve tried. The only negative I see about it at all is that it’s a little greasy, but most popcorn’s I’ve tried have been.
It has just the right amount of butter on …
In-N-Out Burger in Mira Mesa, San Diego
In my opinion In-N-Out burger is the best fast food chain in Mira Mesa. Note, I stayed in Mira Mesa for a couple of months only so I didn’t get the chance to try the other fast food chains. Anyway, my uncle brought me to In-N-Out in Mira Mesa …
Kellogg’s Corn Pops with Fiber Cereal
Growing up, we shopped at Costco where we only had access to the trio of sugary cereals: Lucky Charms, Coco Puffs, and Trix. I never got to try any other type of cereal other than those three and Raisin Bran. Now older, I have no desire to …
Talenti Tahitian Vanilla Bean Gelato
After trying Talenti’s Pistachio Gelato I knew that I was hooked on the brand and would try as many of their products as I could. One flavor that I recently tried was the Tahitian Vanilla Bean. I purchased the product at Kroger for $3.75 for a single pint …

Betty Crocker Authentic Cornbread & Muffin Mix
I’ve written a review in the past for Marie Callender’s Cornbread and it is yummy, but I saw this one recently and decided to give it a try. Overall, I have to give Betty Crocker Authentic Cornbread & Muffin Mix a good review. One of the reasons …
Aunt Jemima Butter Rich Syrup
Aunt Jemima Butter Rich Syrup has a distinctive flavor to it that separates it from the original syrup. The main difference is this syrup has a very real butter flavor integrated with the normal syrup flavor. The butter flavor is most certainly rich and real, however, that did not …
Starbucks Cookie Dough Cheesecake
It was my first time yesterday to see Starbucks offering a Cookie Dough Cheesecake as on of its dessert selections. As I love cheesecake and cookie dough, it seemed only natural for me to order a slice which I shared with my friend. A slice cost Php105 …

Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream French Vanilla
I really have a hard time deciding whether I like the natural vanilla ice cream more, or the Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream French Vanilla. The reason my choice is a difficult one is because while this ice cream is somewhat creamier than the natural vanilla, the natural vanilla …
Annies Homegrown Gluten Free Rice Pasta and Cheddar
Being on a gluten free diet is horrible, but I have to be on one because I am highly allergic to gluten. One of the foods I have been craving on a gluten free diet is macaroni and cheese. However, I cannot just have any kind of macaroni and …
Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Jambalaya Mix
I love this jambalaya mix because it has the best of Louisiana’s seasonings in one box. It is so easy to prepare and can be done in an instant. All I need to do is add my seafood and sausage and I’m all set. I have a complete meal …
Taco Bell Cheesy Nachos
I saw an item on the menu at taco bell. The item was called the Cheesy nachos. I figured with the word cheesy, they have to be at least somewhat good. I was wrong completely. When I got the nachos, it wasn’t even nachos. It was some tortilla chips …
Pauls Fish and Chip Shop in Kempston
You can always tell when a Fish and Chip shop is good, because in the evening it’s busy. I have to admit that Pauls Fish and Chip shop is the best place that I have had a good chippy.
As with most chip shops you can get your chips, sausages, …
Lady’s Choice Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is one of my favorite sandwich spread since I was a kid.And until now, I prefer using Lady’s Choice Mayonnaise when there’s any celebration to prepare. I just don’t used it as a sandwich spread but also I mixed it with a fruit or macaroni salad.
I like this …
Stouffer’s Escalloped Chicken & Noodles
Stouffer’s Escalloped Chicken & Noodles is probably a meal that I will not purchase again. The reason I will likely not purchase it again is because I did not find the combination meal to be all that satisfying. It even upset my stomach a little. I think there was …
Sicilian Lasagna Pizza
When I saw the new Pizza Hut Sicilian Lasagna Pizza on television, I told myself that it was definitely something I would have to try. After having it, however, I found myself extremely disappointed.
I’ll start out by saying the pizza wasn’t extremely horrible. It did taste OK. And, it …
Aldi Asia Specialties Thai Green Curry Sauce
Asia Specialties is a range of ethnic food products available at UK branches of the discount supermarket Aldi. The Thai Green Curry Sauce from this range costs 89p for a 350g jar and a Red variety is also available, but in my opinion is not quite as nice as …
Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Milk and Cookies
Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Milk and Cookies is a frozen treat best suited for those that enjoy both vanilla and chocolate, and also like crunchy cookie pieces mixed in with smooth, creamy ice cream. Why exactly milk is included in the name of the product somewhat excludes me …
Kroger’s Big K Cola
Being on a budget, I sometimes have to opt for off brand sodas. Not all of them are up to par. Kroger’s Big K Cola may be the best of the worst.
Ice cold, these colas are not bad. They taste the most similar to real Coca …
Sprite
Soft drinks are gaining daily in popularity and two companies Pepsi and Coca Cola are the major players in Indian market. Honestly I prefer coca cola over Pepsi as cola products are much more stronger in taste, Pepsi has a sweet kind of flavor which isn’t very good to …
Harris Decaffeinated Green Tea
I love to drink tea, especially green tea, whether it is hot or cold. Green tea has a delicate and subtle bitter taste. As a plus, green tea contains a chockfull of antioxidants for the immune system, so it is very good for your health.
As I am on …
Imperial Margerine
My family has used Imperial Margerine for several decades. I really can’t say why we started using it because I was a kid when I first became aware of it. This is one of those things where I just never changed brands from what my parents used.
Over …
Sari Amaretto Arino
I love a good quality liqueur, with Disaronno being my absolute favourite and something I could drink every day. The problem is that Disaronno is expansive so not something I want to buy all the time, I decided to try other brands of Amaretto to bring down …
Nestle Coffee-mate Coffee Creamer
I am very particular with my coffee; actually, that is the dialogue of my father. He drinks coffee four times a day. In the morning, he has to have black coffee and after lunch a sweetened coffee and at night, two cups of coffee with Coffee-mate. Maybe I adopted …
Mama Cozzi Pizza
I buy a lot of items at Aldi’s grocery stores. Most are pretty good and, save me money. However, they have a frozen pizza line called Mama Cozzi that is really disappointing. In my 6 year old daughter’s opinion (which I value highly), the final verdict is “Eweeyuck!” I …
Whole Foods 365 Raw Agave Nectar
A few weeks ago while shopping at Whole Foods, there were some employees from a locally owned ice cream shop handing out samples. After talking to them, I found out that their ice cream is all natural and sweetened by agave. I had no idea what the …

Teddy Grahams Chocolate
The chocolate Teddy Grahams are just as good today as I remember them to be years ago when I first started snacking on these little snack cookies. The chocolate Teddy Grahams offer a rich chocolate flavor that is present throughout the cookie. As soon as the small cookie hits …
Tastees Chicken Nuggets Combo meal
Up until recently I had no clue that the restaurant I sometimes buy from, “Tastees” had chicken nuggets, and much more, a chicken nugget combo meal. It was only recently when I visited it for a change that I noticed the “Tastees Chicken Nuggets Combo meal” on the board, …
Cooper’s Lite Garlic Texas Toast
There’s not much difference in the number of calories in “Cooper’s Lite Garlic Texas Toast” and “Cooper’s Garlic Texas Toast”. The difference is thirty calories, actually. There’s also fifty percent less fat, but the fat content isn’t as significant as the calorie content, and the number of calories difference …
Nestle Pure Life Water
I buy bottle water at about 5-6 cases at a time because the overall water quality in Albuquerque is fairly poor. Nestle Pure Life water is my preferred brand because it does not taste like it has had tons of special minerals added to it so there is …
New York Style - Panetini Three Cheese
New York Style - Panetini Three Cheese are small, tasty pieces of toast. The toast is pleasantly crispy and crunchy, and sort of reminds me of croutons. The toast is flavored with three different cheeses: Parmesan, Romano and cheddar cheeses. These three cheeses come together to create a rather …
Krusteaz: Cinnamon French Toast Sticks
Krusteaz: Cinnamon French Toast Sticks proved to be a moderately enjoyable breakfast meal, although I did encounter a few minor problems. First of all, it would have been quite nice if these French Toast sticks would have come either with powdered sugar on top of them or a packet. …
Wendy’s Vanilla Frosty
When I pulled up to the Wendy’s drive-thru a few days ago, I was surprised to see a sign touting the new Vanilla Frosty. I was intrigued because a Frosty has such a distinctive flavor to being with; what would a vanilla one taste like? I thought …
Hostess Fruit Pies - Cherry
Although I find these Hostess Fruit Pies - Cherry variety to be superior to the apple variety, I still feel that this variety is lacking in a delicious and memorable flavor that would keep me coming back. The crust is a big problem really - it is dry and …

Bolthouse Farms Strawberry Banana Fruit Smoothie with Apple Juice
I highly recommend Bolthouse Farms Strawberry Banana Fruit Smoothie with Apple Juice, which is my favourite smoothie drink. I enjoy the delicious, smooth drink because I find that it is a subtly sweet, healthy product that contains my 100% Vitamin C intake for the day. Plus, it contains three …

Cadbury’s Flake Ice-Cream 1Litre Tub
I’m not a big ice-cream fan but every now and then I get a little craving for it, and this particular tub of ice-cream is one of the kinds I get a craving for.
I first tried this ice-cream a couple of months ago and was suprised at just how …
Kanki Orange Ginger Chicken
I bought this out of the frozen food section last night because I was looking for something new to try. I really enjoyed the meal, however there wasn’t much chicken in it for a meal that has the word chicken in its name. There were probably four small pieces …
Macadamia Sansrival
When our local daily newspaper came out with a list of 25 of the best desserts in the Philippines, we kept it aside for the holidays. Traditionally, dessert is our family’s highlight and we wanted to serve the best we could buy to make our celebration a little bit …
Organic Rice Krispies and Frosted Mini-Wheats
I am concerned about keeping my family healthy, as are most mothers. I have been pleased at the deluge of more healthful items available in the regular grocery stores as of late. In particular, I have been very happy with Kellogg’s new organic Rice Krispies and Frosted Mini-Wheat’s cereals.
In …

Jell-o Gelatin - Lime
Jell-o Gelatin - Lime variety is a flavor that I like to have every now and then. The company did a pretty impressive job taking the lime flavor and injecting it into this gelatin! The lime flavor is quite authentic and real, and the flavoring does not at all …

The corn dogs from Wienerschnitzel are just great. I have been buying these since I was a kid and they are a classic snack. If you want something that tastes good and is cheap go with a corn dog from Wienerschnitzel. You can get one for only 89 cents with …
Colombo Sliced Sweet French Bread
I haven’t had this bread in years. I think it’s because of the high price. I can’t seem to find it anywhere for less than four dollars, not even at Safeway. I picked up a loaf at a convenience store down the street only when I discovered to my horror …
