Sam’s Market (Berkeley, CA next to campus)
One of my favorite places hands down to go eat at in Berkeley. There are very few people who I have also talked to that disagree that Sam’s is an amazing store. Being brought onto the crucial telegraph space next to Walgreens a few years ago, it is one of …

President’s Choice Extra Rich Hot Chocolate Mix
I’ve long been a firm believer that in most cases, food items do not vary much from brand to brand and therefore, the variables I employ are usually price, flavour, fat content or size. Manufacturers usually use much the same ingredients, so the taste of the product varies little. …
Bella Rosa Extra Virgin Olive Oil 250 ml
To me, Bella Rosa Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the best in its class. Because of it, I can’t imagine myself going back to Canola or any other vegetable oil for cooking.

Cattlemen’s Ranch Roasted Sweet Onion Black Angus Beef Patties
Cattlemen’s Ranch Roasted Sweet Onion Black Angus Beef Patties are mouth-watering! When I want one, I cook it in the oven, no need to defrost, and out comes a delicious tasting burger that’s filling and flavorful! The burgers are bigger and thicker than quarter-pound burgers and six come in …
Reser’s Creamy Mashed Potatoes
In a simplified Christmas meal, I enjoyed one of the products from Reser’s Fine Foods, their ‘Creamy Mashed Potatoes’, which is one of their ‘Sensational Sides’ foods.

Bob’s Red Mill Brown Rice Flour

Original Yoplait Yogurt
I have been eating original Yoplait yogurt ever since I was around twelve or thirteen. I have tried other yogurts over the years and I can say that none of them can compare to Yoplait. It has such a smooth and creamy texture and comes in many varieties of …

I eat a lot of frozen foods and …
Del Monte Tomato Sauce
A product that was purchased weekly by my family for years and years was Del Monte Tomato Sauce. Primarily, we used this sauce as an ingredient for our weekly spaghetti. It’s the most reliable and tasty of the basic can sauces out there in my opinion.

Mrs. Freshley’s Fig Fruit & Grain Cereal Bar
Mrs. Freshley’s Fig Fruit & Grain Cereal Bar, while not offering much of an improvement over the apple cinnamon variety, is nonetheless an improvement. I find the fig flavor to be a little more intense than the apple-cinnamon flavor variety, and the fig flavor is certainly authentic. I also …
Helmans mayonnaise
I’m not usually a mayonnaise fan, but when i do decide to eat mayonnaise I always end up reaching for helmans. This is really a generally great tasting mayonnaise great for sandwiches, and egg salads and the like. The packaging lables them as “the real mayonnaise” I’m not exactly …

Sanjeev Kapoor’s Khazana Hot Mango Pickle
I love pickles. Many Indians would agree that no matter how tasty a dish is there is nothing like a bit of pickle to enhance the flavors and give the taste buds a tingling sensation. Not to mention it can rev up a bland and dull dish too.
Well, …
Cupp Keyk Choco Topps 35 g

Jack-N-the-Box French Fries
Jack-n-the-box fries are pretty disappointing because I expected them to taste a lot better. Jack-n-the-box has a lot of really great offerings, which is why I stop by the fast food place whenever I get the chance, which isn’t that often. I love a lot of their different foods, …

Mrs. Freshley’s Oatmeal Creme
Although I found Mrs. Freshley’s Oatmeal Creme to be satisfactory and enjoyable, I do not expect to purchase the creme cookie a second time. The reason I will not be purchasing it a second time is because I can get oatmeal cookies at a better value from another company …

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 …
Organics Organic Vanilla Soymilk
I’ve been trying to find a perfect plant-based milk for my coffee for the last few months or so, but I couldn’t find the one that would froth well and taste good at the same time.

S&R’s Lemon Berry Ring Cake

Mrs. Freshley’s Lemon Pie
