Walmart’s Potato Wedges
When I had went on vacation in the USA I had the pleasure of trying a food by the name of potato wedges. It was the second time I was having these delightfully cooked potato wedges but it was definitely from a different source.
I have notice, that no matter …
Annie Chun’s Miso Soup
Annie Chun’s Miso Soup is something that is easy for me to fix and have for lunch, although admittedly, the soup does not look all that fabulous. Still, what really matters is how the soup tastes and not so much how it looks. While the soup looks rather bland, …
O’Charley’s Bar and Grill Grilled Turkey Burger
As much as I love burgers, it catches up on you, especially in our appearance-driven, heart-disease-threatened society. I like to alternate my burgers in between ground beef and turkey every so often since it’s all the rage now days to make those kind of substitutions. Whereas I, …
Aunt Jemima Original Syrup
Aunt Jemima Original Syrup is a long used product in my household. It’s one of a few syrups we’ve used over the decades. It made perfect sense to use the syrup since Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Mix was what we always bought. It was a natural fit.
Nowadays, …
Del Monte Fruit Cocktail
Okay, I admit it. I’m not a big fruit eater. I’m not sure why, but that’s just how I am. This is why I like Del Monte Fruit Cocktail so much, because it allows me to get some intake of fruits I’d never eat otherwise. …
Raw Organic Cacao Nibs from Now Foods
Trying new superfoods is pretty much my hobby. Every 2 months or so I order a bunch of stuff that is said to be really great for you and test it out. To be honest, most of the time the things I order don’t become my staples, but it’s still …
Colacao
Colacao is not just any cocoa powder, but my favourite one. When adding Colacao to my morning milk, it makes it taste really wonderful, with a clearly defined cocoa taste.
The container hasn’t changed much since I was a kid, so it is very easy to identify. It doesn’t taste …
Hershey’s Cookies and Mint Candy Bar
This is my favorite andy bar ever. About 10 years ago these candy bars were availibel everywhere Hershey bars were sold, so you could pick them up at the gas station, grocery store etc,. the one day, suddenly, they were gone.
Recently I have found them at a few locations …

Most chewing gums are either way too sweet, get “old” too fast, or taste very artificial. Wrigley’s has found a way to conquer all three of these chewing caveats by producing a line of gum called Orbit. The packs are small, cost in the neighborhood of a …
Energy Sumseeds: Energized Sunflower Seeds
I first came accross these seeds at a local Valero Gas station in Porter, Tx and decided to give them a try seeing how the label boasted its jumbo sized sunflower seeds that had caffeine, ginseng, taurine and lysine. I first tried the Original flavor and made my way …

Smith’s (Kroger Brand) Cottage Bread
I find it funny and a tad ridiculous that I am reviewing something as ordinary as BREAD of all things, but I just had to write something about this incredible loaf available at your local Smiths, or Kroger, grocery store.
I bought it one day because it was on sale …
5 Hour Energy
Energy drinks have been around for a long time know. In my opinion, I think they were pretty much all the same. There was a sugar crash that came with them. I have heard several people talk about this very issue. Though, they liked the drinks, they knew what …

Prego Roasted Garlic & Herb Pasta Sauce
So, I recently got some Prego Roasted Garlic & Herb Pasta Sauce for my ziti pasta and I must say it was so tasty. The sauce wasn’t super garlicky tasting and the herbs tasted so fresh. It was thick and full of tomatoes too. Loved it.
The way I …
Cafe21, 2 in 1 instant white coffee mix, without sugar
I was never a fan of premixed coffee that usually comes in 3 in 1 forms. It is a combination of non-dairy creamer, sugar and instant coffee powder. They are either too sweet or too watery for my taste. I want to taste the coffee not …
California Pizza Kitchen Crispy Thin Crust Signature Pepperoni Pizza
California Pizza Kitchen Crispy Thin Crust Signature Pepperoni Pizza normally sells for four dollars and ninety-eight cents at Walmart, although I was fortunate enough to get the pizza for three dollars and ninety-nine cents at Albertsons when it was on sale. At least, I thought that I was fortunate …
Wilkins Distilled Drinking Water
My 9 month old old daughter’s pediatrician recommended Wilkins Distilled Drinking Water. Since my baby’s birth, we have been using Wilkins in feeding my baby, whether she drinks plain water or mixed with her formula milk. I realized this product must be very good for our doctor to recommend …

Frito Lay chips
Frito Lay makes some of the most bland chips ever, I rarely ever buy these even though potato chips are my weakness. I can not resist the yummy salty crunch of potato chips. I had pretty much given up on Frito Lay potato chips, with the exception of …
Wendy’s New Freschetta Sandwich
Wendy’s has now come out with a Freschetta Sandwich that is really out of this world. I rarely am in the mood for burgers and fries at fast food restaurants, and so usually I try and open myself to their other options that may be slightly more appealing …
Hostess Fruit Pie - Apple
Sometimes when I’m out I like to buy a Hostess Fruit Pie as a snack. Most of the time I get the Apple one, as I prefer apple pies to cherry. I know they are a bit fatty, but I don’t eat them very often so it’s OK. They …

Big K Koolers- Pink Lemonade
This lemonade is compareable to many of the big lemonade brands such as Homeade and Minute Maid. It is actually a lot better in my opinion. My mom did not buy Minute Maid because it was too expensive, so she went with these cans of Big K pink lemonade. …
Coca Cola Zero
Maybe all of you already know this product. Yup the zero sugar of the great coca cola taste. But that just the tag of the product, and it’s not all right for me. I always love to drink coca cola when i’m eating outside, especially when i eat fast …
Starbucks Pumpkin Spice & Eggnog Lattes
The Pumpkin Spice and Eggnog Lattes are definitely the best seasonal coffees around. I love anything pumpkin flavored and thus had to try their pumpkin latte. It smells just like pumpkin pie and tastes just like pumpkin pie as well. There’s no need to add any …
Feelgood Juice Drink
Asia Brewery, Inc. was primarily known as a beer manufacturer in competition with San Miguel Corporation. It has since ventured into other kinds of drinks and one of them is Feelgood Juice Drink.

Nestea Peach Ice Tea
Until recently I had never tried iced tea, as I don’t like tea very much when it is hot. My fiancee however loves Nestea iced tea, and she usually has a bottle of it around the place, so that is how I came to try it.
The product …
Spring Tree maple syrup
I had never had real maple syrup until a couple of years ago when I was on a camping trip with friends and one of the families we were camping with took their turn making breakfast for everyone and they made corn cake (corn meal pancakes) and served them …
Macdonald’s Prosperity Meal
During the Chinese New Year period 2009, Macdonald’s introduced its very own Properity Meal. The meal consists of a beef burger, twisted fries, and drink.
The beef burger is a little spicy for me, and I take spicy food. Therefore, I do not recommend this meal for people who cannot …
Eva Red Grape Wine Juice
I asked my hubby to buy us a red wine to drink and celebrate his birthday. But this time it is a red wine which is not alcoholic so he bought us Eva Red Grape Juice at Hypercity Mall in Malad.
I was the one to pick this bottle of …
Dannon Activia Peach Cereal Harvest Yogurt
The newest flavor I have tried of Dannon Activia Yogurt was the Peach and Cereal Harvest. At first, I wondered if the cereal would be soggy inside of the yogurt, and one thing I really dislike is cereal that is soggy. I then wondered if this yogurt would somehow …

Old Samuel Bourbon
What do you want from a drink? That is an alcoholic drink, of course. Let us assume that it has the punch you require. If it doesn’t, then there’s something wrong. After all, 40% proof must mean that it has a certain amount of oomph to lift you from the …
Chowking Halo Halo
Most of us must have probably tried at least once the Halo Halo Fiesta of Chowking restaurant. Not that there is something special about it, honestly it is even more of an ordinary Filipino treat common even in the streets. Yes, this sweet dessert is available in most corners …
Luck’s Pinto Beans
Luck’s Pinto Beans are absolutely the only pinto beans our family will eat. The only exception to this rule is when we use dried beans. However, I rarely use dried beans any more simply because the Luck’s canned beans are really just as good. These pinto beans come in …
Carl Jr’s The Big Carl Combo Meal
One of the reasons I haven’t gone to Carl’s Jr. all the much in recent years is because of their prices. Compared to other fast food places in the vicinity, it cost more there to get comparable meals. Nowadays, though, this west coast fast food restaurant finally …
Merinda drink
Merinda is the name of a cool drink which is very tasty. The color of this drink is orange. It also tastes like orange fruit. This drink has fewer amounts of gas and chemicals, so it also suits for kids and elders. My kids love …

Stouffer’s Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo
Although I find Stouffer’s Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo to be a meal that has a moderately enjoyable flavor to it, I must say that I have difficulty finding the right side dishes to go with this meal. The reason I needed side dishes is because this meal is simply not …
Balsamic Vinegar de Modena
I first heard of balsamic vinegar 4 years ago while watching a TV cooking program which presented a Greek salad.
I was intrigued by the name since balsamic in my mind could be associated with something soothing.
I am not a particular fan of salads in general and of vinegar in …
