I am reviewing a new product by the Tootsie Roll Company called Pop Drops. I’ve always been a huge fan of Tootsie Pops, so imagine my delight when I found out that they popped the tops off of those little goodies, nixed the stick, and threw them …
Hormel Homestyle Turkey Meat Loaf and Tomato Sauce
I love turkey, but when I say that, I usually mean Butterball turkey or deli turkey slices. I don’t like turkey hot dogs or turkey anything else as a rule. On a whim, though, I saw Hormel Homestyle Turkey Meat Loaf and Tomato Sauce at the store …
Mrs. Freshley’s Berry Pie
I enjoyed Mrs. Freshley’s Berry Pie much more than the apple pie variety. The reason I enjoyed the blueberry variety more is quite simple really: the blueberry filling has a pretty delightful flavor! The filling reminds me of scrumptious blueberries, as it most certainly should. The pie tastes even …
Brothers Burger Blues Brothers
I am in the search of good burgers and my favorite would be burgers with different ingredients like different kinds of cheese on them. I usually grab a bite at Brother’s Burgers, and my favorite burger to order is the Blues Brothers. Just like the name suggests, it connotes …
Nabisco Reduced Fat Oreo Cookies
I must admit that this purchase was a complete mistake. I’m afraid I’m becoming my mother, intending to pick up one thing and then accidentally getting the wrong thing. I didn’t realize my mistake until I bit into an Oreo. Instantly, I thought, “Huh? This …

Charles Peanut Gems
Another guilty pleasure of mine is buying “Charles Peanut Gems” whenever I can find them. These are chocolate covered peanuts that have a candy coating. In a sense they remind me of a cheaper, more Caribbean brand of M&Ms since it have blue, yellow, green brown and red chocolate …

I am a mother of two, a cook and a very busy woman. Putting all these together, I am very careful and sometimes choosy on the food I serve to the kids. I must admit I am guilty of buying the canned goods and the microwaveable plates too. I …

I used to purchase these Great Value: Original Potato Chips before I tried the ripple potato chips one day, and since I tried the ripple chips, I have not purchased these since and I do not see myself purchasing them again. While there is really nothing wrong with these …
PurOliva Oil
It’s well known that Olive Oil is a better oil to use as it’s heart healthy but good extra virgin olive oil can be very expensive.
My sister had us over for a lovely italian meal and told me that she uses PurOliva.
I decided to give it a whirl.
It’s a …

Lipton Green Tea with Peppermint

Tesco Value Golden Vegetable Savoury Rice

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 …

Almond Crunch from The Classic Confections
Like most people, I adore chocolates. I especially like them with almonds. I read about an allegedly delicious concoction in a magazine that is baked and sold exclusively by The Classic Confections. They started out as a home business making delicious desserts with chocolate cake as their bestseller. Eventually …
Mtn Dew Citrus Cherry soda
I tried the Mtn Dew Citrus Cherry flavor of soda. All I can say is—¦YUK! This soda I can honestly say tasted worse to me than nasty cough medicine!
This is a limited-time offering from Pepsi that was inspired by the video game called World of Warcraft. …
Mrs. Field’s Cookies
I was rather surprised to find that Mrs. Field’s cookie shop in my local mall, wanted four dollars for five cookies! Now, I could perhaps understand this price if the cookies were cake-sized, but rather, they are more morsel-like in size. So, while their marketing ploy to …
Hill Country Fare Fruit Rageous Cereal
Hill Country Fare’s Fruit Rageous cereals is one of those bagged cereals that taste just like a name brand cereal but come much, much cheaper. They also come in a bag instead of a box, like most cereals do. In the case of good old Fruit Rageous, …

Subway’s meatball subs
My brother got me hooked on meatball subs years ago when we went to a deli called Dibella’s. I tried it once, and never looked back. While there aren’t any Dibella’s in my area (either Annapolis or Wichita) I have been able to continue to enjoy meatball …
Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer
Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer is something I get from time to time, but those are rare times, mostly because it just cost so darn much. This is considered a big time treat for me, and as a result, I really only buy the product once or twice a …
Great Value Sliced Carrots
Great Value Sliced Carrots come in a 14.5 oz can. Thick round carrot pieces look very much like what is shown on the can; they come in water, with some added salt. It is rather difficult for me to comment on the taste because I personally can’t stand cooked …
Lean Cuisine Baked Chicken
I usually like Lean Cuisine meals, but this one was disgusting. I didn’t even finish it, and that’s really saying something for me! Lean Cuisine’s packaging describes this meal as “chicken tenderloins with cornbread stuffing & whipped potatoes.” There wasn’t one thing I liked about this meal, so let’s …

Stouffer’s Chicken Lasagna

The Taco Bell chicken soft taco (Canadian version) makes for a nice lunch. It contains seasoned chicken, lettuce, tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and avacado ranch dressing in a white flour tortilla. The flavors are well balanced but maybe a little salty. The avacado ranch dressing is really the star …
