Chevy’s Seafood Combo Plater
So I tried the new Chevey’s Seafood Combo Plater at Chevy’s this week and it gotta say it’s pretty good. The whole platter is loaded with shrimp, I love shrimp so I was very happy. The shrimp on the Chevey’s Seafood Combo Plater were very good. I thought they …
Carnation Hot Chocolate drink mix
I drink quite a bit of hot chocolate, especially in the winter. I probably have a mug or two of it each day because I don’t really drink coffee. So because of this, I have tried lots of different kinds of hot chocolate.
I find that I prefer Nestle Carnation …

Super Sub sandwiches usually appear every couple of weeks as a lunch item at the J Cafeteria at Humboldt State University. Super Sub sandwiches come in meat and veggie versions. Each includes lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese. It is about a 5″ long, very thick sub …
Celebrations Herbals Organic Red Rooibos Tea
My favorite rooibos herbal tea that I always keep on hand to make up and drink is the Celebrations Herbals Organic Red Rooibos Tea. I love this tea because the only ingredient it is made with is organic rooibos, which contains loads of antioxidants and other medicinal properties that …
Little Debbie Fudge Rounds
Although I am not overly crazy about these Little Debbie Fudge Rounds, I nonetheless purchase them from time to time. The fudge flavor is a little on the dull side, but the flavor that is there, I do like. If the fudge flavor was a little richer, I certainly …
Instant Thai Noodles from Vitasia
Hi,
So today I am going to write about a new instant soup that I found, Instant Thai Noodles from Vitasia. I have to mention that I found these soups in Lidl, a chain of convenience store.
I am not a big fan of those instant soups, but I always have a …
Mrs. Butterworth’s: Original Syrup
Mrs. Butterworth’s: Original Syrup is just about the most flavorful and rich syrup that I have ever tried, although I think Log Cabin, at times, alternates with this brand for my most favorite syrup. Both have a deep, rich flavor to them and both are a fairly thick syrup. …
Solevita Orage Juice
I like to try different stuff so when I saw that this juice was on discount I bought it. I paid less than 1 euro for 1.5l of this orange juice so I really think that was an excellent price.
The container of the juice is blue with big oranges …
Eating Right Banana Nut Cereal
I only purchased this cereal once from Tom Thumb and that’s because it proved to be a disappointment. The box was only about fifteen ounces and the price was over three dollars and fifty cents, but I recall purchasing it because it sounded pretty good. This cereal was supposed …
Hostess Donettes Maple Glazed Mini Donuts
Hostess Donettes, like a number of other Hostess products, have been around for quite awhile. That tells me that enough people enjoy them and purchase them for Hostess to keep shipping them out to stores. I personally have never been what one would consider a fan of the mini …
Weight Watchers Cheese Bites
I am currently trying to lose weight and it is such a hard thing to do. Then again I think that diet food is a lot better these days than it has been in the past and there seems to be plenty normal tasting food out there that can …
Great Value: French Vanilla Instant Pudding
Great Value: French Vanilla Instant Pudding is just as good as the name brand Jell-o or other pudding products that I have tried. Plus, it is cheaper, too! Cheaper is usually a good thing, and in the case of this pudding, it is. The pudding is also simple to …
Mangoni SuperFruit Antioxidant Juice
This is a juice that I thought was supposed to be a generic version of the monavie juice which my mother discovered a while back and loves and since I tried it I have been looking for a alternative because the monavie is just too expensive for …
Utz Natural Gourmet Medley Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
I am a lover of potato chips because I crave crunchy, salty snacks. Of course we all know chips are not good for us. So every time I eat some, I think, “This is the last time and from now on I will be ‘good’ and stop …
Tesco 2 Honey & Oat Submarine Bread Rolls
I like trying the many varieties of bread and this is the first time I have tried —˜honey’ bread. These submarine rolls were really delicious, with the light flavour of the honey giving the bread a unique taste.
These come in a packet of two, large submarine …
Farmer John Ham Steaks
I’m a little surprised I like this as much as I do, but I’ve enjoyed Farmer John Ham Steaks off and on for several years. The only reason I’m surprised is that it’s really not a brand I’ve heard of that often, aside from seeing a handful of …
Hostess Fruit Pies - Apple
I find these Hostess Fruit Pies - Apple variety to be a little on the dull side, both inside and out. The crust is pretty bland and boring while apple inside tastes as if the flavor is not quite real. The apple flavor does not come across as being …
Concord Foods Candy Apple Kit
Ever since I attended my first parade candy apples have been my must have treat. My grandma and I would sit along the parade route enjoying our sticky heaven of red sugar coated on a nice red apple. I have always wanted to make them at home, I just never …
Tostino’s Party Pizzas
When I was in college, I practically lived on Tostino’s frozen party pizzas. They were just the right size for my microwave (yes, I ate them soggy) and were very affordable.
I still purchase this particular brand today; mostly because they do still provide a filling lunch or dinner (and …
Nutella Hazelnut/Chocolate Spread
I love this chocolate spread. I eat this often during breakfast and afternoon tea. It comes to the rescue everytime I crave for something sweet in between meals. I love this on my toast, pancake, pan de sal (breakfast bun), crackers, and even on a filo …
Dole Cherry Mixed Fruit
I love my fruits and veggies and try to incorporate them into my daily life. Sometimes it’s as easy as grabbing a apple or banana. Sometimes it’s easy for me to pack chopped carrots and celery. Although like with anything else I like to mix it up, and …
Michelina’s Beef and Peppers Microwavable Meals
My first impression of TV like dinners that come in a microwavable box is that I really don’t want to eat them. I imagine chewy meats that are rubbery and full of nerves and bland cardboard spices that I wouldn’t enjoy. But when I came across Michelina’s Beef and …
Wendy’s - Crispy Chicken Deluxe
Wendy’s - Crispy Chicken Deluxe is a chicken sandwich that I find to be quite enjoyable. The reason that I find the chicken sandwich to be real enjoyable is because there are a lot of toppings on this sandwich that help to give it an expansive and tasty flavor. …
Tesco Orange Juice From Concentrate (Smooth)
Tesco Orange Juice has always been a staple of my life, I don’t remember a time when I didn’t begin a morning by drinking a carton, often timing myself to see how quickly it could be drunk. The juice is not particularly high-quality, I realise, but it’s what orange …
Happy cow cheese
Most of us use the cheese or the cheese cubes while preparing the food, just to garnish it with and also to feed it to our children. Actually in my home we all are the fans of the pizzas. And without garnishing the pizza with the cheese, the …
Buffalo Bill’s Pumpkin Ale
I’m a big fan of seasonal beers, but I’ve only ever got them on draft at bars. This was my first purchase of bottled pumpkin ale, and I was extremely pleased with what I got. It’s available for purchase at EarthFare grocery stores, and I believe I saw it …
D Gourmet Chocolate Frosting 340g
I discovered the D Gourmet chocolate frosting only recently, and I was so glad I did. Before this, I thought I had to make chocolate glaze from scratch in order to make my own chocolate ring donuts. Not anymore!
I’m such a great lover of donuts, particularly those with …
Baby Ruth Bars
I know Baby Ruths are very popular. A lot of people claim it to be their favourite candy bar. I did eat Babyruth when I was little. Not that I liked it, but it’s because that’s what everybody’s eating. Even then, I couldn’t understand how people could love this …
Walmart Market Fresh Beef Lasagna
I found this lasagna in the deli section of the Rockwall Walmart SuperCenter and the price was good and it looked really good so I decided to try it.
It was completely made and I just had to throw it in the oven for about 45 minutes. It tasted great. …
Cheez-It Crisps
I recently purchased a bag of cheez-it crisps becuse I had a coupon. the whole bag cost me about $.80 rather than the usual $2, so I thought they would be worth a try. Whattheyare, are the taste of cheez-itcrackers in a much thinner chip like cracker. I actually …
Nabisco Minto Oreo Fudge Cremes
I have always love the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies that come around once a year. I sold them as a Girl Scout, and I’m now 44 years old. These Mint Oreo Fudge Cremes are almost exactly like them, and now I can have them any time of the …
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 …
Caribou Coffee Peach Black Signature Iced Tea
I think the ripe fruity flavor of peaches is great when combined with rich black tea. I tried this tea at my local Caribou Coffee out of a desire to find out how well they would mix these flavors together.
I think really well-made, simple black tea is a wonderful …
Benjamin Australia Tawny Port
I am not what you would call a beer fan, and hard liquor turns me the color of a freshly boiled lobster ready to be served on a silver platter after one shot while wine coolers pretty much taste nasty, even if they do smell yummy.
In short, the only …
Selecta Buco Salad Ice Cream Stick
After an afternoon lunch in a local restaurant, I found my self wanting and eager to taste Selecta Buco Salad Ice Cream on a Stick. I feel like nourishing the child within me as I feel like a kid again excited to eat ice cream or licking a lollipop.
I …
Heluva Good Roasted Red Pepper Dip
One thing that my husband likes to pack in his lunch is potato chips. The problem is he likes something to dip them in. Usually he is stuck with mustard, ketchup, or barbeque sauce because thatâ◚¬◞¢s all we have in the house. On occasion I will buy a dill, …
Cousin Willie’s Buttery Explosion Microwave Popcorn
I was so bored one time so I went to the supermarket to get me some snacks. I shopped for popcorn because I wanted to eat microwaveable popcorn. I actually miss the movie theatre’s buttery popcorn taste so I opted to get just a bag of popcorn to …
Three Barrels French Brandy
One of the first drinks that could be termed —˜spirits’ in present-day terms was —˜cognac’. Now the French lay claim to many inventions and they have every right to do so. The first moving film was made by a Frenchman (strangely enough, it was filmed in a front garden …

Kentucky Fried Chicken, like most fast food establishments these days, are always offering new combinations and specials to try and lure consumers to their place. One of the current lures is the KFC 2-Piece Drumstick & Thigh Special.
Here is what you get for a Kentucky Fried Chicken 2-Piece …
Donald Duck Orange Juice
I recently had a coupon for Donald Duck orange juice. I was a little skeptical at first because of the name. I think they could’ve come up with a better name for orange juice other then Donald Duck. I bought the 64 ounce carton size of …
Monster Hammer Espresso
One of the weird drinks that I have had recently is the Monster Hammer espresso drink. I saw it while I was shopping at Big Lots and it caught my eye. It came in one of these mini cans for only fifty cents. Big lots usually has great …
MN brand mango pickle
I have said a lot about the MN brand mango pickles. And now I am going to talk about the MN brand mango pickle. The very good quality tender mangoes are cut in to cubes and these cubes are used to make the pickle. The spices …
Original Wheat Thins
When I first tried this I really liked them, it was after a swim practice and my friend had some. I just wanted any food I could get my hand on so I grabbed the box, not even knowing what it is and thought they were great for a …
Eden Farm Fresh Eggs (Grade A Large)
My family and I buy eggs for the house from time to time, generally because they are easy to prepare than many other food items since we live in a fast paced lifestyle. However, as of recently we have been buying a certain brand of eggs which is “Eden …
McDonald’s Angus Snack Wrap - Bacon and Cheese
On a spontaneous whim today, I decided to drop by McDonald’s, which I almost never do, and try one of their Angus Snack Wraps. There were three versions available and the one I went with was the Bacon and Cheese. It looked good and sounded tasty.
This product …
Healthy Choice Honey Ginger Chicken Frozen Entree
Healthy choice has reinvented their frozen meal line with new and exciting flavors. The cuisine ranges from Italian to Chinese, each sounding like a gourmet concoction. I love Chinese food but you can’t have it every day because it’s so fattening. I decided to try the …
Stash Premium Chai Spice Black Tea

Gulden’s Spicy Brown Mustard
I just found out about Gulden’s spicy brown mustard about a month ago when my mom’s husband brought it over for a cook out and forgot to bring it home. So I found it in the fridge and tried some on a turkey sandwich. It was delicious!
Gulden’s …
