Great Value Beef Breakfast Patties
My family enjoys fried sausage for breakfast. Yet, being aware that pork sausage is fatty and generally not good for health, we wondered if there was a beef alternative. At first, it seemed that there wasn’t; stores did not have beef breakfast sausage, and nobody heard of it. Then, …
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Cheesecake
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Cheesecake is not one of my favorite flavors. The reason it is not one of my favorite flavors is because there is not a whole lot of cheesecake flavor to this pudding. Unlike with many of the other pudding varieties, the cheesecake flavor is neither …
Pepsi Cola - Diet
This soda is so wicked. I find the taste to be quite bitter at times, so unpleasant it actually feels like it burns my tongue. There is definitely a cola flavor present, but it is overpowered by the excess carbonation and fizzing on the tongue.
Diet Pepsi also seems to …
Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Candy Bar
Sometimes I don’t like change, and I sure hope the Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Candy Bar remains unchanged. I say this because in Fall 2008, the Hershey Company began replacing the very expensive cocoa butter which gives their chocolates that taste we all love and crave with vegetable oil. …
Bristot Classic Esspresso Coffee
I really can’t do without the coffee in the morning, it is actually the first thing I do when I open my eyes to go and put the moka on the stove to boil. I like to have a lot of coffee at home so that it never happened …
Knorr Soup
It is not easy to make a good soup in the traditional way because although it looks very easy it is not. You need the right quantity of onions, the right quantity of meat, oil, spices, carotts or whatever makes the soup taste good. I like home made soup …
Frooti Cool Mango Juice in Tetra Pack
Frooti Juice in Cool Mango is one of my favorite tetra pack juice drink which is so handy to carry along when I do travel. It is a refreshing drink which is good to combine with my favorite snack when I travel via bus or train.
I appreciate the taste …
Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chips
Another great favorite snack of mine is Chips Ahoy! Yes it is that chocolatey chocolate chips made by Nabisco. I’ve first tasted these chips sometime in 1990 when a blue pack was sold at PHP50. From then on I fell in love with rich yummy chocolate …
Jell-o Gelatin - Peach/Watermelon
Jell-o Gelatin - Peach/Watermelon is yet another delightfully delicious treat that is a part of the wonderfully amazing Jell-o Gelatin product line. For those individuals that like peaches and watermelon, you will be in for a tasty treat, that is for sure! Both the peach and watermelon flavors are …
Cherry Pepsi Fountain Drink from The Chocolate Factory
I love the taste of Cherry Pepsi from The Chocolate Factory, as it the best cherry cola around. This is not the Wild Cherry Pepsi you buy from your local supermarket or store - that stuff has a light cherry taste and has been sitting a long time and …
Quaker Oats Apple and Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies
I always associate diet food with unremarkable taste. I don’t really like yogurt, and sugar-free food tends to taste a bit dry. Then I tried Quaker Oats oatmeal cookies. They don’t come cheap, especially compared to most other cookies most people are used to. However, the benefits are well …
Maxwell House Hazelnut Flavored Coffee
This coffee gave me a different experience during my morning rituals. Coffee has been our constant companion every morning when we eat our breakfast. When coffee started using flavors, it was the time that I happen to like testing various kinds of flavor. This one has a more distinct …
Little Debbie Marshmallow Supremes
What is so supreme about these Little Debbie Marshmallow Supremes? The marshmallow flavor really needs some work and Little Debbie definitely needs to go back to the kitchen and re-work the recipe! Although there is some marshmallow flavor, it is no nearly rich and authentic enough to satisfy me. …
Gevalia Coffee
Gevalia Coffee is a coffee club where you order coffees that you like, and each month, different coffees are sent to you. Gevalia Coffee also send you a free gift when you sign up. I tried this coffee club years ago and was totally disappointed with the results. I …
Almond Breeze milk substitute (cold case)
I bought Almond Breeze on the suggestion of a relative who is also diabetic and watching her carb intake. Made from almonds, this milk substitute has almost no carbs, very low calories, and no soy. It can be purchased as a shelf stable milk in cartons, and also …
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Oreo
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Oreo is really quite a scrumptious and appetizing treat! This pudding does an excellent job of recreating the delicious flavor of Oreo’s - even going as far as including little pieces of chocolate cookies in the rich and smooth cream pudding! Yum! What a truly …
Hostess Twinkies
Hostess is a popular brand name that has been around since long before I was born. I grew up with their fun snacks, including Hostess Twinkies, which has always been a favorite.
Hostess Twinkies are golden sponge cakes with creamy fillings They come in two-packs or a box …
Little Debbie - Chocolate Chip Muffins
Little Debbie - Chocolate Chip Muffins is a particular variety of muffin that I am not all that crazy about. I do not care very much for chocolate chips or chocolate flavor in my muffins. I much prefer the flavor to be a part of cookies, cake, brownies and …
Weight Watchers Banana Nut Muffins
I don’t follow the Weight Watchers diet plan, but I do enjoy some of their products so when their Banana Nut Muffins came on sale at my local supermarket for just $1.99CDN I just had to purchase a box of three. I am not generally a big muffin fan …
Fuze drinks
Recently I went into the gas station for a soda and saw these Fuze drinks in the cooler too, and decided to give it a try. So I picked up the Peach Mango drink instead of the soda, paid for it and left. Wow let me tell you …
Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring water
I’ve never been a big believer that there were many differences between brands of bottled drinking water, with a few exceptions- but I found one last week that impressed me- not with its water, but the design of its packaging.
I was doing my usual supplemental shopping at …
Hokey Pokey Ice Cream
Butterscotch is something that I hate for the most part. It reminds me of butterscotch candies that my grandpa used to force on me when I stayed with them, or the butterscotch pudding that they served in my school cafeteria. Hokey Pokey from New Zealand Ice Cream is billed …
TGI Friday’s Pizza Chips
I can’t say that I found these chips all that tasty or enjoyable. These chips are supposed to have the flavor of cheese pizza baked into them, but I didn’t think of cheese pizza after trying some of these chips. Certainly, they do have a cheese flavor that’s not …
Bread and Butter Pickles
Pickles are one of the best snack foods or additions to meals. Vlasic pickles are my absolute favorites, which is why I was so sad when I came across the bread and butter pickles that were meant to go inside of a sandwich. They were nothing like the normal …
Kroger 100% Grated Parmesan Romano Cheese
This grated cheese sold at Kroger is every bit as flavorful as the grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses put out by name brand companies like Kraft and it comes at a cheaper price of around two dollars and fifty cents. When I add this cheese to a pasta meal, …
Sainsbury’s Dark Roast Freeze Dried Instant Coffee
This Dark Roast Freeze Dried Instant Coffee from Sainsbury’s own brand is indeed, as it says on the label, dark and intense, which incidentally is how I like my men. This is lovely coffee, especially for me as I like a good strong cup which is smooth as …
Algida Carte d’Or Chocolate with orange
Algida always has great ice creams and they are not very expensive, the price goes 3.50 Euro to 5 Euro. Sometimes I even manage to find them for 2.80 Euro when they are on discount but that’s not very often. I am talking about 500g containers of regular Algida …
Herradura Anejo Tequila
Having never purchased a bottle of anejo tequila -I’d only had it in mixed drinks before - I decided to give it a try recently. Anejos are known for richer flavors because they take the longest to age. Although I prefer reposado tequila, I really enjoyed this Herradura Anejo …
Guinness Harp Beer
Guinness has something good going on, not only with their world famous Guinness Draught Beer, but yet again with its lighter Guinness Harp beer. This beer doesn’t have quite the same bold taste as its brother beer but it still taste delicious and gives people an excuse to say, …
Simply Apple-Pure Pressed Apple Juice
I am not a huge fan of apple juice, but do enjoy a glass once in a while. Now come the fall when the local orchard makes the fresh apple cider, that’s a different story.
At a recent dinner get-together my mother-in-law brought out Simply Apple juice for our …
So Delicious Original Coconut milk Creamer
So I’ve really been loving So Delicious products, even though I’ve tried just a few yet. Except for the plain coconut yoghurt, maybe it was just a bad batch or something, but the other products, like their Cocowhip and milk were a huge success. This coconut creamer is also amazing. …
Dole Mango Chunks
Dole Mango Chunks is a half size bag of frozen, generous cuts of mango. When it comes to frozen fruits, I like to stick with Dole because they have a great reputation when it comes to providing fresh fruits. I purchase the Dole mango chunks quite often because I …
Kin Dee Yellow Curry Instant Fried Rice
I have always loved Curry and spicy foods, but find due to a demanding job I don’t have time to make a good Curry from scratch. I’ve tried various ready made Curry’s and haven’t usually found one I like enough to buy again. That all changed when I bought …
Pringles Restaurant Cravers Mozzarella Sticks and Marinara
These chips really didn’t do much for me. I was quite excited when I purchased them because I love both mozzarella and seasoned marinara sauce, but I can’t say that either the aroma or the taste reminded me of mozzarella sticks or marinara sauce. There was some cheese flavoring …
Millville Chocolate Crispy Oats Cereal
The Millville Chocolate Crispy Oats Cereal comes in an eleven point twenty-five ounce box for two dollars and nineteen cents at ALDI Food Market stores. They taste very much like the General Mills Chocolate Cheerios. While a box of the General Mills Chocolate Cheerios costs around two dollars and …
Century Tuna Lite
Indulging in food is not bad for as long as you know the right proportions of food to eat and what kind of food to eat. I am the type of person who eats everything but singles out the right amount. But there is always downside and choosing the …
Carlo Rossi Wines
There are lots of people who hate wine. I have plenty of friends who’d rather consider cannibalism than drink a drop of wine. I am an individual who felt the same way. There was just something about it that tasted horrible, and I could never drink it. Not even …
Cracker Barrel Campfire Beef (seasonal entree)
Cracker Barrel offers this delicious entrée only during the summer months. From the picture posted on their website, it looks like a cornucopia of meat and vegetables: you see big chunks of beef chuck roast with whole red potatoes, large pieces of carrots, onions, and two serving sizes …
Cream Pure Cornstarch
Another kitchen wonder you will often see in most kitchens today is cornstarch. It is mainly used to thicken sauces and gravies. I have tried this Cream Pure Cornstarch once and from then on, continued buying the product. It is in a box (200grams) which costs …
Annie Chun’s Miso Soup Bowl
I am a big Chinese and Japanese food fan I especially enjoy a good miso soup. That is why when I saw this at the grocery store I knew that I had to buy it. I paid a little over $2.00 for it which was not too bad and …
Chicken Wings by Flaming Wings
I love chicken barbecue so much but this time, I have to taste another dish.
My officemate treated the whole team with buckets of chicken which includes assorted parts like wings and legs. There are several flavors and my first three picks are: Wild, Smokey Barbecue and Original. These chicken …
Grilled Baja Chicken at O’Charley’s Restaurant
This delicious satisfying dish is sadly only offered during the summer months. But when it’s available, I made a mad dash for the door. There are a number of things that’s appealing about this dish. First, the price is very affordable for what you get. …
Culver’s Fried Chicken
Being a huge fan of fried chicken, I have ordered it in many different places, and I believe I can say that fried chicken served at Culver’s is very close to be the best of the best. It is always soft and juicy inside, while the outside is that …
Bacardi’s Rum Island Iced Tea
While out, someone suggested that I try a new pre-mixed bottled alcoholic drink made by Bacardi. I was a little apprehensive at first because some of these drinks don’t really taste very potent. Or they are so full of sugars that you can’t really taste …
Michaelina’s Fettuccine Alfredo Pasta
As you already know, I’m not really into Italian-pasta dishes because of the heavy alfredo used, but my mom thought I should give the Fettuccine alfredo pasta a try because she liked it. I reluctantly tried it.
The Michaelina’s Fettuccine alfredo pasta frozen meals cost the same as the Salisbury …
Del Monte Citrus Salad
Del Monte Citrus Salad is our new family favorite. This canned fruit mix contains three kinds of citrus (red grapefruit, white grapefruit, and orange) in sweet light syrup. It is packed with Vitamin C, it tastes great, contains no preservatives, and, best of all, you don’t have to peel …
hint - Pomegranate-Tangerine
Pomegranate-Tangerine is a flavored water made by hint that I did not particularly care for. I like tangerines, but I had never tried pomegranates before. Maybe that was my mistake. This is a flavored water that sports two flavors combined together, and the resulting flavor was one that did …
