Bob’s Red Mill Wheat Germ
I am into trying to eat as many healthy food products as possible.
Wheat Germ is one of those products. I eat 3 tablespoons of wheat Germ everyday. I just add a little milk and sugar to it. I also add it to my bran cereal.I have also added it …
Mahatma Saffron Yellow Long Grain Rice
I tried this product one evening when visiting with my relatives. I fixed it along with a skillet cooked pork chops, gravy and fresh steamed broccoli. Normally when I prepare rice, I usually use only brown or white rice, but this time around out of request, I used …
Quorn Bacon Style Rashers
Many vegetarians seem to say that they miss the strong taste of bacon even if they do not want to go back to eating meat. I was a vegetarian for years before I discovered these bacon style rashers from Quorn but they are really tasty and I buy …
Kroger Brand Fruity Pops
I am most certainly a popsicle addict. But I like popsicle flavors that are a little “outside the box”, not your traditional Cherry, Grape, and Orange. So, when I perused the frozen food aisles at my local Kroger several years ago, and found banana popsicles, …
Rombauer Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
I don’t consider myself a professional when it comes to evaluating wine. However, I do live in California and I have I think been exposed wine tastings and enjoyed different wines over the last ten years. I do think my palette has developed in that time.
My boyfriend brought this …
McDonald’s Sausage McMuffin Value Meal
I haven’t been a big fan of McDonald’s for many years. It’s not really because of the chain itself, but of a local owner of two nearby McDonald’s and who in my opinion had some unfair business practices. I guess you could say I’ve had a private …
Oscar Mayer Cheese Hotdogs
Oscar Mayer Cheese Hotdogs are a little costly, but they are very good. I don’t know how it is done, but each hotdog is filled with thick cheese sauce that comes out when you bite into it. The mix of hotdog and melted cheese tastes great; there is just …
Nesvita Nonfat milk
Highly favored by the elderly who has bone issues, this is a healthy option that helps keep the bone intact even at an old age. They’ve incorporated the lowfat solution to help keep fats off the body and allow it an intake of only healthy supplements that helps fight …
Pillsbury prepackaged Chocolate Chip Coolies
I am definitely a huge chocolate chip cookie lover. Ironically, the only pre-packaged refrigerated cookies that I’d ever bought were Nestle or store bought from Kroger. I decided to pick up Pillsbury cookies because they were on sale. This is one of those brands that …
IBARAKU Milk COFFEE
By the coffee’s name IBARAKU, you can directly associate it with Japan. But based on one of the Philippine’s local dialect, “BARAKU” means something grand or fully grown, which can be associated with something strong and active. But then, this coffee is not that strong by its name …
Marlboro Virginia Blend Cigarettes
Tough economic times call for drastic measures when buying cigarettes. My usual brand are the rich and smooth Parliment Lights 100’s, but they are up to $45 a carton in the Los Angeles area. I was looking for some filler brands to stretch my cigarette budget, and stumbled upon …
Pure Protein High Protein Bar, Chocolate Peanut Butter
After I sweat out from my workout, the general feeling aside from being exhausted is hungry. I am a busy person and having squeeze the time for my workout is already a blessing for me. I have to fit it inside my fully booked schedule the entire day. When …
Mrs. Freshley’s Vanilla Cupcakes
I am definitely a person that enjoys vanilla desserts and treats, and Mrs. Freshley’s Vanilla Cupcakes is a treat that I do enjoy having every now and then. While not fabulously rich in delicious vanilla flavor, I do find the cupcakes to have a satisfying taste and I like …
Swanson Beef Broth
My wife made a beef stew the other night and, to add some flavor to it, she wanted to use some pre-made beef broth and ran to the store to buy a couple cans of it.
Since she ran to Walgreens rather than the grocery store, she only had one …
Pionir Negro eucalyptus candy
These blue candies come in a white plastic bag with a picture of a man who is cleaning the chimney. It is kind a funny because they want to say that these candies are going to clean your throat the way this man cleans the chimney. Each candy is …
GreenWise Organic Spring Mix
Boxed lettuce mix is a convenience item for me because I can get a blend of lettuces without the hassle of washing and chopping all that lettuce. I usually just buy my boxed salad at WholeFoods along with the majority of my produce, but they were out of the …
Organix Goodies Organic tomato and basil Number bites
Having a fussy toddler at home can sometimes be very difficult for any moms which in my case my little one usually would only love to have foods that he would particularly like to have and eat which in most cases he would only choose the sweet ones which …
Pall Mall Cigarettes
I am a smoker of fifteen years. I have always smoked Marlboro Lights until recently. I have tried other brands many times over the years, but they all tasted nasty to me. With the latest price increase, it cost me almost seven dollars for one pack …
Archer Farms Simply Balanced Whole Wheat Tortillas
I really love these whole wheat tortillas from Target. Archer Farms is the Target store brand. I don’t know if all Target stores carry these, but the one near my house does and I was really surprised to find them, too. Why? Because I am allergic to soy (all …
Kroger - Blackberry Pie
The blackberry pie baked straight from Kroger’s bakery is a little different from some of the other pies that the store sells. What separates this pie from say the apple or peach or blue berry pie is that it has a thicker crust to it. Now, I do not …
Pan Asian Kitchen Spicy Pad Thai Flavor
I love noodles! Who doesnt? I’m always looking for new kinds of noodles, especially those that can be made instantly. Pan Asian Kitchen from the Nissin Ramen brand has a microwavable instant pad thai noodle entree that looks absolutely delicious. Located in the asian food section of Walmart, …
Taco Bell Fully Loaded Chipotle Steak Taco Salad
I don’t normally eat at Taco Bell. But one day I decided to try out the loaded salad that I kept seeing on television. I was really surprised with how large the salad was. The shell was huge. And it’s served in this really …
Palastri sangiovese di Romagna - red wine
I recently tasted Palastri sangiovese di Romagna wine. It’s a red, medium bodied wine from Italy. I bought it because it was half price rather than because it had been recommended. I enjoyed it. It would go well with an evening meal but I enjoyed a glass …
Mrs. Freshley’s Pound Cake
I find Mrs. Freshley’s Pound Cake to be an enjoyable treat to have, although there is really nothing all that special about this pound cake. It tastes like pound cake, but the taste is not any better really than other brands of pound cake that I have tried. It …
Nesvita Pro Digestion Milk
Don’t you wish that whenever you get up in the morning, right after you have your breakfast, you have a smooth defecation? It is important to have a regular bowel movement to prevent any form of disease involving your colon. It also gives you a fresh start for that …
Yoplait Greek Blended: Pineapple Yogurt
When it comes to yogurt, I’m not picky but I do have my own favorite my own favorite selection that I usually choose. I can honestly say my favorite kind of yogurt is greek style. Every brand is different from the next. Each has their own recipe, mixes and …
Sainsbury’s Basics Chopped Tomatoes
These chopped tomatoes are a great addition to the Sainsbury’s basic range. In general, the basics range is a good, adding a variety of items at very good prices. The range is forever expanding, and you’ll be able to find a wealth of complimentary ingredients to make some great, …
Cadbury Cream Eggs
When Easter-time comes around, I am always happy to see the arrival of Cadbury cream eggs to the stores. These eggs are about 2 inches tall. There is a chocolate shell that surrounds a sweet, sugary center that is supposed to resemble egg yolk. They can …
Rice-A-Roni: Creamy Four Cheese Flavor
In winter my thoughts turn to comfort food. I’m not much of a cook, so quick and easy, box type foods are great for me. I love Rice-A-Roni and the Four Cheese flavor is my favorite. The cheeses are cheddar, parmesan, romano and blue cheese. Yum!
I like the fact …
Smarties nestle
Nestle products are very famous and popular and almost everybody is fond of nestle products. Out of nestle products, smarties are the best, in my opinion. Smarties are chocolates and very tasty. I have enjoyed these brand of chocolates to a large extent. Smarties can be found in …
Breyers Chocolate Chip
Breyers Chocolate Chip is one that I found to be disappointing. The reason I found it to be disappointing is because there really was not a whole lot of chocolate chips decorating the vanilla ice cream. I was hoping that the ice cream would be loaded with rich chocolate …
Aquafina Bottled Water
I love a tall cold glass of water in the steamy summer months of the south. Here in Tennessee, it gets quite hot and the humidity makes it feel even worse. So, a cold drink of water is a refreshing treat on those heated days.
One of my favorite brands …
Cooper’s Cheeseburger
Only at ALDI Food Market stores have I come across a single, frozen cheeseburger from a company named Cooper’s. The frozen cheeseburger is flame broiled, and that’s what caught my attention as I really like hamburgers that are flame-broiled. Plus, the cheeseburger came on a sesame seed bun, and …
Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Hearty White Bread
When you live in the Gulf Coast of the US (or even more specifically for me, Southeast Texas) you come to realize bread is important. From Poboys to Muffalatas and everything in between there is a “sandwich culture” here like you wouldn’t believe. That being said, you still can …
Pan De Manila’s Hot Tsokolate (Instant)
When I was still working in a call center.. I am always craving for something sweet to keep my eyes open. Also, I am trying to avoid drinking to much coffee or caffeine. So, I am always looking for a substitute for those stuff.
Luckily, Pan de Manila is …
Leonidas Belgain Chocolates Ballotin
My daughter loves chocolates and I want to get her the best of them whenever I get a chance to. I know it is not good to pamper your child with chocolates but I cannot resist because chocolates are my favorites too. ‘Leonidas Belgain Chocolates’ are utterly one of …
McDonald’s Iced Coffee
This review is for the new to Canada McDonald’s Iced Coffee. This is quiet possible the worst tasting drink that I have ever had. If you are expecting something close to a Tim Horten’s Iced Cap., forget it. I took a drink of my McDonald’s Iced …
Kellogg’s Frosted Strawberry Mini Wheats
I have never tried Mini Wheats before today, nor did I ever think I would love them. Well they were lying on the counter, I was hungry so I went out and just tried them, they were the strawberry kind. The pink box on the counter stuck out to …
Pop Weaver Light Butter Popcorn
I realize that butter is not good for the body, but I just can’t get used to popcorn that’s only lightly buttered. I’ve tried more than once, and I always end up forcing myself to finish the bags that come in the box. There’s very little flavor to popcorn …
Nestle Vanilla Sandwiches
To be quite honest, I’m not sure how to review Nestle Vanilla Sandwiches, and here’s why. I’ve had what I’ve always called Nestle Ice Cream Sandwiches purchased from my grocery store in 6-pack boxes. I really wasn’t that fond of them. Now years before, there …
Millefeuille
An awesome dessert that is in my love book of food favorites would be Millefeuille. This is a French dessert and the meaning in English is something like ‘A Thousand Leaves’ or something.
And if you go to any restaurants that are having some form of credibility to …
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Egg Custard
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Egg Custard is a flavor that I did not enjoy. I was expecting a different flavor from this pudding than I received. I expected this pudding to be sort of along the lines of eggnog, but what I got was a flavor that, well, lacked …
Chick-fil-A Chargrilled & Fruit Salad
The Chick-fil-A Chargrilled & Fruit Salad might just be about the healthiest menu item that can be ordered at this fast food restaurant. I tried this salad dish once and I likely will not order it again because it just is not something that I can see myself looking …
Freschetta Supreme Pizza
Product description: Frozen pizza that promises 10 toppings and a thick crust. We found it on sale for about $6 the other day but it normally sells for around $8 in most of our stores.
What I liked about this product: Not much (more on that in a second). But, …
Brooke Bond D Refreshing Round Tea Bags
I managed to pick up a box of Brooke Bond D Refreshing Round Tea Bags from my local bargain supermarket B & M for only about £1 recently, with 80 tea bags in the box. This is brilliant value and these will last me ages. I usually …
Cooper’s Toasted Beef Ravioli
Tasteless is the word that I think best describes Cooper’s Toasted Beef Ravioli. The raviolis are quite generously packed with beef, but the problem is not with the quantity, but the quality. The quality of the beef isn’t all that hot. The beef is pretty much devoid of flavor …
Katy exquisite apricot and nuts cereal bars
I went to the Kaufland store the other day (a new one opened in my town this month) and I got really surprised to see that they had very cheap cereal bars. They were incredibly cheap so I took some. I really like cereal bars and lately I started …
MorningStar Southwestern Style Veggie Cakes
MorningStar Southwestern Style Veggie Cakes can be purchased for two dollars a pack. For those that are looking to eat healthier, MorningStar is a good brand to look into as the brand offers some nutritious and tasty breakfast, lunch and dinner items. The MorningStar brand allows individuals to enjoy …
Great Value: Microwave Extra Butter Popcorn
Great Value: Microwave Extra Butter Popcorn is pretty delectable, although I was certainly hoping for a somewhat stronger butter coating over the popcorn than what I tasted. I could most certainly taste the butter, but when something reads “extra butter”, I really expect for my taste buds to be …
Clancy’s Pretzel Rings
ALDI Food Market stores stopped carrying Clancy’s Pretzel Sticks a couple of months back and replaced them with Clancy’s Pretzel Rings. Now I liked the sticks because they were always fresh and salty, and I figured that although these pretzels were a different shape, they were still sold under …
