Milka choco cows
Milka Choco Cows (aka the only cows I eat) are my favorite cookies in the world! I prefer them to any other cookies, including the chocolate chip ones, double chocolate chip ones and all the other delicious treats you can find out there. Milka is really the only milk chocolate …
Baileys Irish Cream Crème Caramel
I recently found my new favourite liqueur, and I have been making some amazing drinks with it. I don’t buy creamy liqueurs often, usually a couple of times a year during the winter; I don’t need the extra calories, and for me they are more like a dessert than …
Vanilla Almond Tea
I was passing through my friend’s shop the other day and decided to have a shopping-spree rest. It was my pay day and I wanted to shop for some clothes, but not having the luck yet. And I chit-chatted awhile with her, whilst she was at the same …
Campbell’s Chunky New England Clam Chowder
Product Description: Microwavable bowl of Campbell’s Chunky Soup New England Clam Chowder. I purchased this earlier this morning for $2.39 at one of our local grocery stores (though I think it is available for less money at a couple of the other stores here in town).
What I liked about …
The Co operative Egg Mayonnaise Deli Filler
Usually I would not choose to have egg mayonnaise as I tend to find it rather bland, but I thought I had nothing to lose in trying this one from The Co-op’s own brand as it was reduced to only 25 pence. The Co-op is great for dramatic …
Hostess Cupcakes
A favorite snack growing up was Hostess Cupcakes. Hostess is one of the more reputable brands with a good history behind it. As a kid, that didn’t matter to me much, but it does now.
Hostess Cupcakes are chocolate cupcakes with a creamy filling. Each cake has …
Nescafe Coffee Instant
Nescafe is one of my favorite instant coffee product. I think I can find this coffee brand every where, not only in the country where I live. I do a lot of traveling. And I always find this Nescafe in the supermarket where I go.
Even surprising me, sometimes I …
KRAFT Pizza
I don’t like thin crust pizzaz, so when I saw something called Naturally Rising Pizza at our grocery store, I immediately wanted to check it out. “Naturally Rising” promised good, soft, “bready” crust. It is a KRAFT product, and there were several varieties of it available. The one I …
Great Value Buttery Smooth Crackers
Great value is the brand made by Wal-mart that is what I like to call the —˜cheaper store brand’ alternative to the name brand products. Depending on what the product is, I usually try my luck and get Great Value’s product. I’ve come across some good, and I’ve come …
McCormick Pure Orange Extract
I bought this orange extract because I was looking to make some orange-flavored candy. I like to buy pure and natural flavors whenever I can, so I really liked that this extract was a pure product. It is made from 80 percent alcohol, water, and oil of orange. Oil …
Echo Mint Chocolate Bars
I got addicted to a very similar chocolate bar from Marks & Spencers, but I started buying these —˜Echo’ bars from Wilkinsons as they are very similar but a lot cheaper, at 89 pence for a packet of 6 bars. These are quite a small size at about …
Aunt Jemima Pancakes and Sausage
Aunt Jemima Pancakes and Sausage is merely a decent breakfast meal. It could most certainly be tastier and a higher quality, but as is, it is edible and mildly enjoyable as long as I add a few things to the meal, like scrambled eggs and a bagel. Only then …
Jose Ole Southwest Chicken Frozen Skillet Dinner
I have recently become a big fan of the frozen skillet meals that have recently come onto the market. These meals are a big improvement from standard microwave dinners because they allow the consumer to actually feel like they’re cooking the meal, as opposed to just warming it …
Lloyd’s Beef Brisket
This was a first for me recently because I’ve never purchased Lloyd’s item that I can remember and I’ve never had ‘brisket’ before; at least, not labeled as such. However, I’ve had some luck with these kind of easy fix meals lately, so I decided to check …
Progresso New England Clam Chowder Soup
Once again, I’m digging back into the ol’lunch pail to see what’s soup’s on, and yet again it’s “chowdah” time. On the soup docket today is Progresso Traditional New England Clam Chowder, but how does it stand up with it’s competitors? You know I’m hungry enough to find out.
In …
Cooper Farms Fig Preserves
It’s breakfast time once again! And once again, I have an old favorite brand “returning to the ring” with a new flavor on toast– Cooper Farms Fig Preserves. But, how is it? Is it up to the spreadable snuff? As always, you guys know I’m going to find out!
In …

Everest, Kitchen King Masala (Spice Blend Powder)

Each and every state in India has its own unique dishes and variations.
I love to cook a variety of cuisines from all over the …
Red Baron Rising Crust Frozen Pizza
I recently tried the Red Baron four cheese rising crust frozen pizza. It was less expensive than many other brands for frozen pizza and I quickly learned why.
The crust did rise as the name suggests, however, the sauce is very spicy. The sauce has an extreme peppery …

Dasani Bottled Water 20 oz
I was told by my doctor that I was consuming too much caffiene, and I needed to drink more water– and he recommended plain water, which I almost universally hate. I have found a brand that I can deal with. When I lamented about my diet …
Tesco Crumpets
These crumpets from Tesco’s own range are very good value indeed at only 79 pence for a packet of twelve. Because I like to root around on the ‘reduced price’ shelves at Tesco, I managed to get a packet today for only 40 pence so I am even …
Brown Cow: Cream Top Greek Blueberry yogurt
As I have stated before, I love greek yogurt with an a burning passion. There is just something about the creamy thickness that pulls me in and takes me way to a blissful place. Almost every brand out there have their own line of greek yogurt with their own …

Lambertz Exquisit Biscuits, Donna Vollmilch
I don’t like to get biscuits as little present as people usually buy biscuit assortments just to appear someone big. I really hate biscuit assortments because they contain few biscuits and all of them separated one from other. There is more plastic and paper than biscuits. I prefer simple …
Nestle Coffee-mate
I don’t use any other coffee creamer but only Nestle Coffee-mate. It’s a really a perfect partner for my coffee every morning. It makes my coffee taste good and creamy. I have tried using milk several times on my coffee, but I am not really satisfied …
Hong Da Food Blueberry Layer Biscuit
I am disappointed with this product. I expected it to be heavily blueberry-flavored but no, it wasn’t. The cream between the two pieces of biscuit looks like caramel cream. It doesn’t even look like blueberry cream, and the layer of cream is so thin that it was …
Donald Duck Orange Juice
I recently had a coupon for Donald Duck orange juice. I was a little skeptical at first because of the name. I think they could’ve come up with a better name for orange juice other then Donald Duck. I bought the 64 ounce carton size of …

Kinder Surprise
Why I like this product so much? There are so many reasons I guess but I think that the main one is because it brings me back to my childhood when these chocolate eggs were really rare and it was a big feat when I got one. The only …
Wholly Guacamole
I love guacamole, but I do not like to make it at home. I do not like to try to select a ripe avocado because I inevitably choose the wrong one. I also like to have my guacamole ready when I am in the mood for it, without …

Reser’s Creamy Mashed Potatoes
In a simplified Christmas meal, I enjoyed one of the products from Reser’s Fine Foods, their ‘Creamy Mashed Potatoes’, which is one of their ‘Sensational Sides’ foods.

Archer Farms Simply Balanced Whole Wheat Tortillas

One of the best halo-halo I’ve ever eaten is the one by Chowking. First of all, halo-halo is one of the most popular Filipino refreshments and Chowking is one of the most popular food chains in the country. Among the main ingredients of the halo-halo are crushed ice, milk …
Kettle Brand Potato Chips with Sea Salt
Kettle Brand makes my absolute favorite kind of potato chips, and the simple sea salt version gives you the most potato flavor and has an excellent crunch. I like Kettle Brand potato chips so much that I don’t even bother buying other types of potato chips anymore, except the …
Yoglu ACE Altecime probiotic yogurt
I came across this yogurt by chance when I was looking for some yogurt that I could take to classes with me. Usually yogurts come plastic glasses and they are not very practical to carry around. So a few days ago I came across Yoglu ACE Altecime probiotic yogurt, …
Rocklea Chocolate (Milk Chocolate Rocklea Road)
My aunt who came from Australia brought this Rocklea Milk Chocolate Rocky Road. This was the first time I saw this kind of chocolates, and found it too big. The package says that is a combination of fluffy marshmallows, toasted peanuts and toasted coconut covered in chocolate. The package …
Cadburys Flake Chocolate bar
Cadburys do make the most delicious chocolate and this is one of my favourites. It comes in a lovely yellow wrapper but you must be careful when you open it. Due to the fact that the chocolate is very brittle and flaky where its name comes from it is …

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 …

McDonald’s French Fries
McDonald’s french fries are my favorite. I have had french fries at Wendy’s, Burger King and Dairy Queen but none of them have as good of a flavor as the ones at McDonald’s. One of the things I like is the light crispiness of the fries and how they …
