Café W Cinnamon Crumb Cake
The other day I decided to try one of these Cinnamon Crumb Cakes for a snack. This is also the first time that I had tried a Café W product from Walgreen’s. The snack is actually a muffin, even if the product’s name says “cake”. And like a muffin, …
Mrs. Freshley’s Buddy Bars
I used to eat Mrs. Freshley’s Buddy Bars before I discovered the SnackAway Peanut Butter Wafer Bars. Sure, these bars do taste better than the SnackAway version, but these bars also contain more sugar and more calories. The SnackAway version features a dramatic reduction in sugar and calories with …
Post Banana Nut Crunch Cereal
I bought Banana Nut Crunch Cereal at the store because it was on sale. I love bananas and banana bread and eat cereal twice a day so this seemed perfect for me. I was disappointed in the cereal from the moment I opened the box. …
Cupp Keyk Choco Mocha Flavor
It has been my habit to eat bread as breakfast because it doesn’t make me feel very full early in the morning. And one of the types of bread that I have tried is the Cupp Keyk Choco Mocha flavor.
At first glance, the picture of this flavor on its …
Entenmann’s 12 Assorted with Frosted Donuts Softee Family Pack
This is a decent variety pack of donuts, although the donuts themselves could most certainly be better. The donuts have a slight stale flavor to them that results in a somewhat dry texture to them. I like donuts that are real soft and moist, and these do not exactly …
Kellogg’s Smorz
I like smorz, but honestly, this cereal just cannot measure up to the real thing. Oh, it is good cereal, do not get me wrong, but I think those that enjoy smorz will taste the difference and the difference is a little disappointing. The marshmallow and chocolate flavor are …
Happy Harvest Canned Spinach
I decided to make chicken last night and, mostly because our supply of vegetables was starting to run a bit low, I ended up making a can of spinach from the brand Happy Harvest that we have had for a while.
I bought this particular brand of spinach because of …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Snow Puffs
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Snow Puffs quite unfortunately suffer from the same problems that a majority of low fat or fat free products do: a considerable reduction in flavor and a significant increase in overall blandness. These soft snow puffs almost taste like nothing really as both the …
Lero Vita orange instant drink
My sister likes instant drinks a lot, so we always have some instant drink at home. Actually, she likes only a few instant drinks and she doesn’t like cheap variations, so I was rather surprised when last week she came home with Lero Vita orange instant drink. She paid …
Captain’s Bakery Twist Donuts
I can’t honestly say that I’m a fan of most of the pastries that come from the different branches of Captain’s Bakery, but for some reason when my mother bought a twist donut from the bakery for me to eat for lunch, I expected more. It wasn’t that the …
Healthy Choice Café Steamers Chicken Margherita
I tried one of their Café Steamers products, Cajun Chicken & Shrimp, and had a positive experience. But I was curious to see how this steaming process would work with pasta. The Chicken Margherita has angel hair pasta with grilled chicken and tomatoes in a balsamic vinaigrette …
El Monterey’s Shredded Steak & Cheese Chimichanga Supreme
It is quite a shame that the El Monterey’s Shredded Steak & Cheese Chimichanga Supreme frozen burritos are not in the slightest bit spicy because I definitely like the overall flavor of these burritos. What I think I like best about these burritos is seasoned beef. It is not …
Kellogg’s Original Cinnabon Pancakes
Twelve Kellogg’s Original Cinnabon Pancakes come in a package for two dollars and fifty cents. That may sound like a fairly good deal, but the pancakes themselves actually aren’t that big. They’re more like mini-pancakes, looking to be about four inches in length. The size of the pancakes seriously …
Mariani Premium Sun Ripened Mixed Fruit No Sugar Added
Mariani Premium Sun Ripened Mixed Fruit No Sugar Added comes in a thirty-six ounce bag and retails for fourteen dollars and ninety-nine cents. Dried fruit isn’t cheap in stores and even the small bags that contain five or seven ounces or so run for five or six dollars on …
Cheetos Twisted Puffs and Chester Cheetah’s white paws
One has to wonder how Chester Cheetah keeps his white paws so clean.
Honestly have you ever eaten a Cheetos Cheese Snack? There is no way you can keep your fingers from turning orange, unless you eat them with you lips and lips only.
I love how the …
Kroger Value French Fries
Kroger Value French Fries are regular sized French Fries, although they are not crinkle-cut. For me, that is fine. Crinkle-cut or non crinkle-cut, it really does not affect my enjoyment of the French Fries. These fries have a good flavor to them and since I cook them in the …
Stouffer’s Easy Express Cheese Manicotti
Stouffer’s Easy Express Cheese Manicotti makes for a fairly tasty meal! Admittedly, this meal is more about flavor than it is about being filling, but in the case of this food, I am okay with that because the flavor comes from cheese! Lots and lots of cheese! Cheese is …
Bigelow Lemon Ginger Herbal Tea With Probiotics
This is a product that I am very excited to talk about because of its benefits as well as very good taste. It is caffein free all natural herbal tea with lemon and ginger from the Bigelow brand of teas. I enjoy drinking tea which happens to be my beverage …
Oreo Cookies
Oreo Cookies are pretty tasty, but I do not eat them any longer. The reason I stopped eating these cookies is it is a real pain to clean my teeth after having even just a few! I have never had a cookie that has left such a mess all …
Larry’s Cheddar Cheese Mashed Potatoes
For the first time recently, I purchased Larry’s Cheddar Cheese Mashed Potatoes. In the past, I’ve purchased various baked potatoes that were seasoned with different items. While this is labeled as mashed potatoes, it feels the same as if it were a traditional baked potato.
The other baked …
Cracker Jacks
Cracker Jacks were a very integral part of my childhood. Well integral to my junk food development anyway. Living in a small village and having to rely on a convenience store instead of a grocery, supermarkert, junk food was the primary treat of my early years. There wasn’t a …
Wheat Thins Chips Veggie
These crisps aren’t bad, but they really don’t stand out in any significant way. Sure, they’re real crispy, but the crispiness of the Wheat Thins isn’t as important to me as the flavor is. These Wheat Thins are supposed to offer a blend of onions, red peppers, celery, tomatoes …
Country Time Sugar Free Pink Lemonade
Ok so I started a diet recently and decided to try Country Time Sugar free lemonade since I love the regular Country Time Lemonade. I mixed it exactly according to the instructions and decided to give it a try. Blahhh! This lemonade has the worst after taste ever! It …
Brownstone Baking Co. Bagel Chips Ranch
Brownstone Baking Co. Bagel Chips Ranch are delightful little bagel chips that are quite addicting! They are addicting because of the ranch flavoring that rests on top of each bagel. The ranch flavor is refreshing and tasty and goes great with lunchtime sandwiches or salads or just as a …
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 …
Dreyer’s Sherbet Orange Cream
I love the Dreyer’s brand of ice cream. It tends to be rich and creamy the way I like it. Recently, I was in the mood for sherbet. I love orange sherbet, but only have it as a treat from time to time. I saw …
Texas Best Mesquite Barbecue Sauce
I grew up in Texas, so I know how famous it is for its barbecue! I went to a friend’s house for a cookout a couple of weeks ago. I got some of this sauce on the way over there and my boyfriend had this great idea for a …
Jack ‘n Jill Roller Coaster
This potato ring snack is one of my favorite junk foods. Its cheddar cheese flavor makes me crave for it over and over again. It is a healthy snack because it is fortified with Vitamin A and Iron. It has Sangkap Pinoy seal and accepted by Department of Health …
Del Monte Ketchup
I always love eating with ketchup to go with my meal especially if the meal is fried or dry. Ketchups always solve the problem and it makes the meal wonderfully tasty. I have read from somewhere that ketchups started as a medicine taken in the early years and it …
Tic Tac Passion Fruit
I like Tic Tac bonbons very much. I buy them always when I go the shop. They are very good as they are little so I can eat them everywhere. I don’t seam rude because I have something in my mouth.
There are many types of Tic Tac that we …
Doles Pineapple Plastic Cups
Doles Pineapple fruit bowls. I have found in our local grocery store that Dole’s and other producers are now putting my favorite fruit snacks into small plastic containers that are so very easy to use and to transport.
I like the Pineapple fruit bowls, they come in a six …
Digiorno Pepperoni Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza
As a beginner cook (such as myself), preparing meals seven days a week can be a complex task even when I have all of the ingredients for a particular recipe. In order to give myself a day off from the task of cooking, I decided to start a “free …
Hamburger Helper Mexican Crunchy Taco
I love Hamburger helper and their many varieties of dinner kits. There’s nothing more convenient than having an easy one skillet meal to whip up in under an hour. Hamburger helper is one of those dinner kits that you can never go wrong with. Especially if all you …
Nescafe Hazelnutz 3 in 1 coffee
I have been using coffee as my early wake up call and I have used many brands of coffee, all have different effects in my body, some coffee are very strong even in few measurements and some are too light.. Sometimes it tend to bring me tension effect, maybe …
Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring water
I’ve never been a big believer that there were many differences between brands of bottled drinking water, with a few exceptions- but I found one last week that impressed me- not with its water, but the design of its packaging.
I was doing my usual supplemental shopping at …
Thomas’: Mini Brown Sugar Cinnamon Bagels
I found Thomas’: Mini Brown Sugar Cinnamon Bagels to be moderately enjoyable, although I feel that they could certainly stand some improvement in regards to the amount of cinnamon that is baked into these bagels. First though, let me go over what I like about these small bagels because …
Harbor View Snacks Salted Cashew Halves and Pieces (17 oz. tin)
These cashews are a tasty little snack someone bought for me because they knew I love cashews. I had never heard of the Harbor View Snack brand before, so I had no expectations based on brand alone. Inside the peel-away tin, it was brimming with cashew halves …
Kroger Value Spread
Kroger Value Spread is a butter that consists of forty percent vegetable oil and comes in a container that is over two pounds. That is a lot of butter spread! Plus, it is a great value and is actually a better value than any other spread sold at any …
Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon
I purchased a package of Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon recently after a glowing recommendation about it from a coworker. I got it at a local discount grocery store for $2.54 for a 12 ounce package. Considering how expensive pork bacon has gotten over the last couple of years, I …
Nutralite Bread spread
We are all extremely fond of butter. I love eating everything with a layer of butter. My children even eat biscuits topped with butter. Butter is said to change the taste of food to quite an extent. The food prepared in butter tastes better that that prepared in other …
Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Columbian Arabica Instant Coffee
This Columbian Arabica Instant Coffee from Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference range is a delicious, smooth coffee with a lovely flavour and it is an instant coffee that I buy every now and then. It says on the label —˜The perfect balance of acidity and sweetness —“ just like …
Happy cow cheese
Most of us use the cheese or the cheese cubes while preparing the food, just to garnish it with and also to feed it to our children. Actually in my home we all are the fans of the pizzas. And without garnishing the pizza with the cheese, the …
Dairy Queen Corn Dogs
Since I was a kid, I loved corn dogs. They were a favorite taste and a different way of eating hot dogs, only they never have felt like hot dogs to me. I remember eating that at the state fair. That’s where they were the best. …
Kellogg’s Smart Start Cereal with Antioxidants
This is one Kellogg’s product that I will not be purchasing. I tried some at one of my friend’s house and then looked at the box. No wonder why it tasted so sweet! This cereal is absolutely loaded with sugar and corn syrup! There is also a ridiculous amount …
Goldilocks Assorted Polvoron
Goldilocks is a famous bakeshop/ restaurant in the Philippines. I have been a customer of Goldilocks ever since I can remember. It was in college days at the University of Santo Tomas that we frequented the place in a street just walking distance …
Trader Giotto’s Fusilli Pasta with Tomato Basil Sauce
Trader Giotto’s Fusilli Pasta with Tomato Basil Sauce comes in a five point one ounce package for two dollars and fifty cents. This is not something that can just be removed from the package and tossed in the microwave. Before it can be heated, water as well as a …
La Croix Sparkling Water
I have consumed sodas most of my life. In an effort to restrict my calorie intake, I switched from sweetened soft drinks to artificially sweetened soft drinks but I reevaluated that decision as I investigated the use of artificial sweeteners. It seems, according to several studies, that artificial sweeteners …
Food Club Frozen Turkeys
Because of frequent shopper points, we have an opportunity to get a Food Club frozen turkey at half price. It�s a great deal but I would much rather pay full price for a better brand.
We tried the Food Club Turkeys last year around Thanksgiving and I have to say …
Fit & Active Chicken Noodle Homestyle Soup
The Fit & Active Chicken Noodle Homestyle Soup comes in a nineteen ounce can for one dollar and nineteen cents. This is a canned soup that I’ve only been able to find at ALDI Food Market stores. In addition to the chicken noodle soup, ALDI Food Market stores also …
