Kroger Cocoa & Peanut Butter Fusion is a cereal that I am not wild about because I feel that it could stand some improvement, but nonetheless, I do occasionally purchase it because I like the combination of cocoa and peanut butter. I feel that the peanut butter flavor dominates …

I got a bargain today because I managed to buy one of The Co-operative’s own brand cheese and onion quiche for only 63p because it was nearly out of date, but I have 24 hours to eat it which should not be a problem. Usually, they retail at …

A lot of cereals out there are becoming more and more unhealthy. Some would claim to be low fat although they’re packed with so much sugar! While others are simply high in carbohydrates and GI! Weet-bix, however, is one cereal that I found to be healthy, tasty and satisfying.
They …

Previously, I’ve reviewed other varieties of the new Jimmy Dean Breakfast Entrees, and today I’m adding a new one to the list — the Ham and Cheese Croissant. When Jimmy Dean gets a product right, it’s usually dead on right and so yummy. When they get it …

Sun Chips - Garden Salsa is my second favorite flavor that is currently available from the company that manufactures these tasty and nutritious alternatives to fattening and unhealthy potato chips. The reason I like this flavor quite a bit is because it features a tasty combination of flavors from …

While I am a fan of mixed vegetable drinks, my mother and sister beat me with their zeal for this particular beverage. I am more a lover of fruit drinks myself. Maybe it is the fact that I have a sweet tooth, or maybe I just don’t enjoy the …

I didn’t care very much for this Italian Side. The main reason that this Italian Side failed to win me over is because of the tomato sauce. It was pretty bland and thus not satisfying to the taste. The sauce did have some garlic mixed in for seasoning, but …

We got our Yamasa Zaru Soba dipping sauce at the local grocery (Robinson’s Metro East mall) for around Php 140. I’ve also seen some available at the grocery at Megamall and UniMart Greenhills. It is packaged in a 330ml bottle which has a sticker that says “Yamasa Zaru Soba …

In order to make a vanilla latte I had to purchase …

I love a great brownie. However, cooking isn’t always my thing and, even worse, I hate cleaning. As a result, nowadays, I’m always looking for good food that I can cook without really cooking and definitely without cleanup, or at least not much.
For years, my favorite was …

I have tried many forms of hot chocolate mixes, including ‘from scratch’ with cocoa and adding milk, sugar and hot water. But this one is, by far, the most convenient, the tastiest and most versatile. I now buy the large 64 serving size, 1.8 kg, as it …

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 …

Well I wil say the good stuff first. I appreciate the Glaceau Vitamin Water people for the fact that they don’t use high fructose corn syrup to sweeten their beverages. It is one of the cheapest and most overused sweeteners as of today. Many kids are becoming allergic because …
