Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Bacon Cheeseburger
Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Bacon Cheeseburger is a homemade skillet meal kit that includes pasta, sauce mix, and toping mix; additional 1 lb of hamburger meat is required. The cooking process is rather long, it is definitely not one of those “heat & eat” packages. First, you fry hamburger …
Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme
I’m one of those people that tears at my cuticles. I work with paper a lot, so they getdry and ragged, and I’m twitchy anyway. Thsi means that dry ragged cuticles are almost irresistible for me to bite at and do other ugly nasty things to. …
Chef Boyardee Microwaveable Spaghetti and Meatballs
A decade or so ago, I happened upon Chef Boyardee Microwaveable Spaghetti and Meatballs. Since I’m a kid at heart anyway, and since I loved their canned product of the same meal, I decided to give it a try. Anything that can save me cleanup gets my …
Hostess Twinkies
What I love about Hostess Twinkies is that they are a very simple dessert treat. I like the fact that they are almost like an eclair in shape and style but without chocolate. They are elongated sponge cakes with cream in the beginning, the middle, and the end of …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Yellow Cakes
I found these Little Debbie 100 Calorie Yellow Cakes to be pretty average in flavor. If you have ever had a regular yellow cake before, you know that the flavor is inherently none too impressive, but it can make for a light and fluffy snack that does not spike …
Mrs. Butterworth’s Original Syrup
I have to say that I believe that Mrs. Butterworth stole some of Aunt Jemima’s thunder. That’s based on personal experience because after being pretty loyal to Jemima, we ended up switching over to Mrs. Butterworth’s Original Syrup more often than not. There are still other brands …
Mars bar
Among all the snacks and chocolate bars Mars is not my favourite one, it is not even very high on my list. I used to eat them only while I was little and my father was buying them. For me Mars, Snickers, Bounty and Twix are in the same …
Nescafe Ice Java Icedd Coffee Syrup
Nescafe makes a wonderful alternative to your everyday chocolate milk for some of us coffee lovers. I love my morning coffee, but during the summer, it isn’t something that I want. The heat of the coffee seems to warm my body too much to cool it back down in …
Quaker Oats Quick Cook Oatmeal
For my breakfast, I always love to eat different food everyday. I don’t want to eat the same kind of food each day. But to start a day, I love having wheat or oatmeals. I always want to eat something healthy and stay healthy. But I don’t want to …
On-Cor Lasagna
I wanted a lasagna dinner for supper on Friday but was on a tight budget. So, rather than buying a more expensive brand, I picked up another meat lasagna from On-Cor.
I have purchased this particular brand of lasagna in the past and have been happy with it. Not only …
Stewart’s Soda
Stewart’s Soda is a gourmet microbrew fountain drink with an old fashion taste. Just this week I was first introduced to this delightful drink and its rich, full body taste. The flavor was Stewart’s Grape Soda and every drop from the 12 fluid ounce glass bottle brought back a …
Amazing Cones’ Flaming Fajita Pizza Cone
Just when I least expected it, I came across a new type of pizza. It was Amazing Cones. Amazing Cones is a restaurant that serves pizza, dessert and ice cream. The best part is that Amazing Cones is named as such because the pizza is rolled in a cone. …
Dairy queen ice cream cakes
Sunday we had my son’s birthday party with a lot of family and friends. My son is not very fond of cake, but he loves ice cream so every year he gets his cakes from Dairy Queen. He prefers the Reese Peanut Butter Cup cake.
So Saturday morning I …
Nova Garlic and Parmesan Chips
I have always enjoyed eating Nova Chips, since it’s made of whole wheat, so I know that it’s healthier compared to other chips, so I don’t feel that much guilty whenever I consume one whole bag.
All those years that I was eating Nova, they only have one flavor, …
Pinahs Rye Chips —“ Original
Pinahs Rye Chips —“ Original are more than a little on the bland side compared to the other varieties available, like the garlic, Swiss cheese and green onion varieties. If you have ever had rye bread before, then you already know what these chips taste like. Now I like …
Michelina’s Frozen Entrees
Since I come home for lunch during the week, I have a limited amount of time to make a filling meal. In addition, my wife works nights and usually tries to eat something before she goes to work so she’s not snacking all night.
Because of this, frozen entrees are …
McVitie’s Digestives (Biscuits)
McVitie’s provides the best biscuits that I have ever eaten. Their Digestive biscuits will always be my favorite. Other biscuits are far too buttery and dry, but McVitie’s provides us with something different! Digestive biscuits are a wheat cookie that go great with tea. I love dipping them in …
Alpine Full Cream Evaporated Milk
Keeping an evaporated milk in my kitchen is very important for me. I’ll never know when I’m going to need it. But since I cook a lot, I’d like to have it available because I know some menus that need it. One of my favorites is soup. Whatever soup …
RagAppleLassie Vineyards Merlot
I had high hopes when picking out this attractively-bottled red drinking wine, but despite the beautiful bottle and description, I was disappointed by the overall quality and drinkability.
To start off with the positives, I was completely sold on this bottle of wine by the beautiful and attractive design on …
Nesvita Oatmeal
Oatmeal is always a perfect breakfast choice for people who are always in a hurry, who never had enough time to cook in the morning because of rush hour and fear of being late at work. I am one of these people and one of millions who consumed oatmeal …
Stouffer’s Pepperoni & Provolone Stromboli
Stouffer’s Pepperoni & Provolone Stromboli was a little bit of a disappointment for me. The reason I consider it to be a disappointment is because of the pepperoni. Although the pepperoni definitely has some flavor to it and while it is a flavor that I do recognize, unfortunately, it …
Uncle Ben’s Fast & Fancy Broccoli & Cheddar
Here is something that practically almost never happens, or actually never happens- the meal in real life looked actually better than the photo on the package. And it tasted great too. I still can’t believe that.
I tried it the other day when I was to too tired to too …
Tesco Value Chocolate Mousse
I went to Tesco with a money savvy friend recently who kept drawing my attention to all the bargains I may not have noticed before. On her recommendation I bought a four pack of the Tesco Value own brand of chocolate mousse for an astonishingly low 25 pence! …
Loven Fresh Whole Grain White Bread
I came upon this bread about a month ago. I’d purchased Aldi branded breads in the past, including their 12-grain bread, but hadn’t seen the whole grain white before. I have to tell you, it’s really quite good.
You can’t beat Aldi’s prices on bread, first of all. …
Millville Nutrizone All-Natural Nutrition Bars - Chocolate Peanut Butter
The Millville Nutrizone All-Natural Nutrition Bars - Chocolate Peanut Butter retail for three dollars and ninety-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. Five bars come in a box and the bars are fairly long and thick. The bars are loaded with vitamins, minerals, protein and have antioxidants, too. Eating …
Sainsbury’s Belgian Chocolate Brownie
I tend to choose a chocolate brownie if I want a snack to fill me up nicely, so I tried this Belgian chocolate one from Sainsbury’s —˜food to go’ area and I thought it was particularly gorgeous. It is an oblong shaped block of brownie, which is quite …
Izze Sparkling Clementine Beverage
I am no stranger to the brand Izze. As a person who is trying to set aside soda, Izze sparkling beverages are life savers. Which is how I came to try Izze Sparkling Clementine. As you can imagine, I was not hesitant in grabbing a few of bottles.
What I …
Taco Bell Mexi Melt
Today I will be reviewing the Mexi Melt from Taco Bell. I think this is a very tasty and quality food product from Taco Bell, I must say I like it! They usually put all the great toppings I like it. And they make it nice and wet and juicy. …
Lyle’s golden syrup
I’ve been using Lyle’s golden syrup for quite a while now and I am finding this product very good especially when I am preparing pancakes at home. I usually spread it generously on top of my pancake. Before I use golden syrup I normally just had a …
Kellogg’s Special K Cereal
Wow this cereal is delicious! Wow this cereal is expensive! Those are the first two thoughts that come to my mind when I think about this cereal. For strawberry lovers, this is a very flavorful way to start a new day or enjoy a tasty treat in the afternoon …
Chicken/Meat Briyani
There are a lot of times that my friends and I would argue on the origins of Briyani. But I don’t really care that much because it is just so tasty and spicy! And there are different ethnic groups making this like their form of nice dish meal …
Red Rock Deli Chips
Red Rock Deli is an Australian brand of chips and is the best chips I have ever eaten. I love the way they feel when you bite them; they have the right texture and the right thickness just like Kettle chips. They are also not too oily. …
Appleton Farms Boneless Ham Steak
I have only been able to purchase the Appleton Farms Boneless Ham Steak at ALDI Food Market stores, which is unfortunate because if the ALDI Food Markets around my home ever stop selling this ham, I won’t be able to purchase it anywhere else. It’s very good ham and …
Ro-Tel Hot Diced Tomatoes with Habaneros
My favorite diced tomatoes are Ro-Tel’s Hot Diced Tomatoes with Habaneras for several different reasons. One particular reason I like this brand of diced tomatoes is that the tomatoes are particularly spiced just right while adding that extra kick of pepper.
After you take a few bites of …
Fit & Active Caramel Rice Snacks
This is a snack that doesn’t deliver essential vitamins or nutrients to the body, but it’s a snack that won’t do much damage at all to the body, either, since there’s no fat of any type and no cholesterol either. It’s also a simple snack. It’s both sweet as …
Ribena
On my recent trip to the UK I was introduced to Ribena by my British partner.
When I had told her that I loved black currant flavored teas, her eyes lit up and she said, “You are going to love Ribena then!” Ribena is what they call a “cordial” …
Milo Energy Drink
The Philippines is a tropical country. The weather here is very unpredictable. There are times that during summer, the rain falls heavily. There are also times that a when a typhoon hits the city, the sun shines brightly. That I can say is “only in the Philippines”.
One of …
Doritos Smokin’ Chedder BBQ
I’m a Dorito fan. I always have been from way back in the day when all you had was the original red bag of Doritos. I moved onto the Cool Ranch in the 80’s and have loved them all since. I even purchase a small red …
hint - Watermelon
The watermelon flavored water sold by hint is not one of my favorite drinks out of all the flavored water drinks sold by hint, but, I have tasted worse from the company, so I would have to say then that this flavor is just about average according to my …
Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Vegetable Oil
Although the Starkist brand has been around now for quite some time, I honestly do not understand what the appeal is. I do not think the company makes particularly good canned tuna fish, and the Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Vegetable Oil is as good of an example as …
Choc Fudge Cookie
I am in love with this new Choc Fudge Cookie from Jenny Craig. They have a whole range of new foods this week at Jenny Craig weight Loss Centre and this cookie is my favourite. Who would have thought that losing weight was that easy with eating scrumptious Choc …
Bhelpuri
Garden is the name of a company which produces the new kind of salty snacks which are ready to eat and very fresh. The quality, purity, taste and even the quantity of the snacks produced by the company Garden are very good to eat. The packing of …
Campbells Italian Wedding Soup
I really enjoyed this when my mom made it for dinner. I am not a huge fan of soups and when my mom brought this home I didn’t know what to expect. When she began making it I didn’t think that I would like it. Boy was I wrong. …
Girl Scouts’ Lemonades
Girl scout cookies are pretty popular. Everybody has their favorites, a lot of people really seem to dig the thin mints. We bought like, a year’s supply quite some time ago and we still have a ton of boxes left. Surprisingly, they’re still good. I, …
Aunt Jemima - Blueberry Waffles
Aunt Jemima - Blueberry Waffles proved to be just as disappointing as the blueberry pancakes, also made by Aunt Jemima, although unlike the blueberry pancakes, at least these waffles do not suffer from the same problems that frozen pancakes do: namely falling apart easily. The only reason I decided …
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 …
Forrelli Creamy Chicken Soup Mix
A two-pouch package of powdered soup mix (just add water), this seemed like the budgeter’s dream alternative to Knorr and other premier soup mixes. I was in the mood for a hot soup without the bother of opening a can or using the milk. And, I love …
Cheez-It Crackers
OK so I love to eat cheese with crackers, so of course I am going to like Cheez-It Crackers. These things are crazy because they are good and crunchy, but they have a very good cheesy flavor to them. I must say that I really do enjoy these crackers …
