Zacky Farms Jumbo Chicken Franks
My husband and I had never purchased any product by Zacky Farms and had pretty much been cutting back on hot dogs, in our quest to eat better. However, sometimes the urge just hits you and you have to have a certain food. When shopping at a …
Chicken Cordon Bleu
I wandered over to the Waterview Café for lunch one day and decided upon one of their “homecooked” meals. One of their specials was the Chicken Cordon Bleu, a breaded mass of chicken breast, stuffed with cheese and ham, and then covered with some kind of sauce. …
Pepperidge Farm Texas Toast Five Cheese
I don’t care what brand I try, be it Pepperidge Farm, New York Style, Mama Cozzi’s, whatever, they all offer a five cheese Texas Toast and they all stink. When something reads “Five Cheese”, I personally think I’m in for something that’s going to be super cheesy, rich in …

Cryastal Light
I surprised myself recently when I tried a glass of Cryastal Light. It did not taste at all like any kind of diet drink I have ever tasted in the past! It was not only quiet refreshing, but it had tang and zest to it. I …

DelGrosso Meat Flavored Spaghetti Sauce
There’s one thing that I really like a lot about DelGrosso Meat Flavored Spaghetti Sauce, but there’s also something that bothers me more than a little about this spaghetti sauce, too. First, what’s quite nice about this spaghetti sauce is its texture. It’s on the thick side. Since the …
Auntie Anne’s Pretzels (food)
Lets stop for a minute and think about pretzels. Usually, they’re pretty healthy, right? Auntie Anne’s Pretzels by far, are the best tasting pretzels I have eaten, but there is a reason for that. Unless you specially request that they be made without butter and salt, …

Arctic Zero Rocky Road Trip Fit Frozen Dessert
So recently I wrote a negative review on the Arctic Zero’s Salted Caramel ice-cream and I was basically saying that Arctic Zero sucks in general. But then I changed my mind, actually, so I’m writing this review to make it up to the brand and say some better things about …
Nantucket Nectars Half & Half Lemonade & Iced Tea
I have been drinking this Half & Half for some time now, because I like the Nantucket Nectars company. I also drink their lemonade, which I enjoy very much. But sometimes I like a change from a strictly citrus drink, so I switch to this Half & Half drink. …
Applebee’s Southern Chicken Sliders
It may be the cheapest entrée on their menu but it’s better to spend your money on something else. What you get is a deep-fried morsel of chicken on a dinner roll and a pickle that spans 1/3 of the bun. This is not the dish to …
McVities Jamaica Ginger Cake
The McVities Jamaica Ginger Cake is a classic as far as I am concerned. I remember it as a favorite from my childhood and I enjoy it now as much as I did then. As it says on the packet, the recipe has stayed the same for …

Blue Bunny Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Bagel-Fuls: Cinnamon Bagels
Bagel-Fuls: Cinnamon Bagels proved to be a disappointment for me. The main reason I was drawn to this product is because it had the word “cinnamon” written on the box. Well, let me just say that there is just enough cinnamon to be found in these little loaf like …
San Miguel Coffee Pro Slim
I love coffee, but I am one of those lazy people who just cannot wait for coffee to brew especially in the morning when I’m moving slow and have to out of the house in a jiffy. So I stock up on 3-in-1 coffee in sachets so that all …

Sainsbury’s Mocha Desserts
I thought I was just getting a common or garden coffee flavoured mousse when I bought this Set of 2 Mocha Desserts from Sainsbury’s, but these are far more gourmet than that. When I took one out and peeled off the cellophane top one of the little tubs …
Orville Redenbacher’s Movie Theater Butter Microwave Popcorn
I love popcorn and watching movies, so when I picked up some videos at Blockbuster Video I also grabbed some popcorn from my local grocery store. I love lots of butter on my popcorn so the “movie theater butter” flavor really appealed to me.
I have tried many other …

Swedish Fish Brand Soft & Chewy Candy

Pepsi max
I recently found one of my favorite beverages on sale at Dollar General. The soft drink is Pepsi Max and as the name implies was made the Pepsi company. The thing about this beverage is that is low calorie and advertises on the label that it has …
Anlene Fresh Milk
Anlene fresh milk that comes in 250 ml package is my latest favorite among fresh milk today. I am a milk drinker but not so much on fresh milk because I dreaded its dry unsweetened taste, but as I turned 30 several years ago I am increasingly concerned about …
Mrs. Freshley’s Crunch Mini Donuts
I find Mrs. Freshley’s Crunch Mini Donuts to be pretty bland, although I really am having a hard time determining if these or the chocolate variety are more dull in taste. The coconut flavor is not all that spectacular and really, a little on the bland side. It is …
Marlboro Lights
Marlboro Lights is the cigarette brand that I patronize. It tastes just right and since it’s lights, the nicotine content is not too high. The smell is also not as irritating as the other brands and not that strong. One complaint that I have about this product is that …
Uncle Ben’s Long Grain Wild Rice

Clover Valley Strawberry Lemonade

Lavazza Crema E Gusto Ground Filter Coffee
I did not know what I was buying with this filter coffee as the label is almost entirely in Italian but it has turned out to be a very deep, dark, rich and strong coffee. The one bit of the label that is in English says that this …
