My wife and I usually have salads with our dinners but, to be honest, they were getting a bit dull. That’s why I was glad Sargentos came out with their Salad Finishers.
For just $4, you get a good combination of meat, cheese and another topping (in our case, it …

I am the first to admit that I am not the world’s greatest gardener, but usually I am able to grow pretty good tomatoes. The one exception is the beefsteak variety. Even the brand of beefsteak tomatoes seems to make little difference. The tomatoes plants do fine and even …

I knew I might not like this frozen stuffed sandwich because of it being “lean”, but I was willing to give it a try for a dollar seventy-eight. Unfortunately, my concerns turned out to be justified as this stuffed sandwich just came across as being pretty bland to me …

My wife picked up some Roma pizzas yesterday because they were on sale; 6 for $10. I have to say, they weren’t worth the money.
I have had Roma pizzas in the past and remember liking them. But, after trying them again last night, I can’t remember why I did.
For …

We had steak last night and, to go with it, made some garlic mashed potatoes from the brand Valley View; a brand I believe we ended up buying at our local Aldi store or some other discount grocer.
I have had other products from Valley View with some mixed results …

I received a sample of Kashi cereal and I thought it was going be really good. Instead it was extremely crunchy and too hard. It was almost too hard to even eat and enjoy. I didn’t even eat the entire bowl of cereal and that is not like me. …

Nestle Ideal Milk is more or less a milk from my mother’s breast. I think almost all Ghanaians are bread to like Idea milk, and now it comes in many different varieties. My favorite is the oldest one I know, the Ideal Milk Evaporated milk original. Package in tin …

Alaska Evaporated Milk I should honestly say is the best tasting evaporated milk of all. All the other local brands are unable to match its excellent taste. Globalization has brought in a lot of other brands of evaporated milk from other countries but so far Alaska Evaporated milk remains …

This is a decent but somewhat bland cereal that I had once, but I likely will not purchase again due to the ingredients that are in this cereal. It has a number of different kinds of oats and the cereal is lightly flavored with what tastes like honey and …

Last week I went to the food court near my house. There I found the new item, which is the Ramnaths low fat cottage cheese. I love to prepare many recipes using the cottage cheese. But due to over weight I am not allowed to eat …

I love the orange and mint flavored hot chocolate drinks from the Options range so I tried this from their new range of instant coffee drinks. There was a choice of Luscious Latte, Melting Mocha and Dreamy Cappuccino so I chose the latte. It was a mere …

I was excited when I saw this frozen meal in my supermarket freezer for several reasons. First, the entree in this Healthy Choice frozen meal is Shrimp Diavolo, which is one of my favorite foods to eat at Italian restaurants. It is supposed to be a spicy …

For a person like me who are always have some activities to finish in a day, meetings that I need to attend, paper works that I need to submit on time, blogs that need to be updated. Having an energy booster is so much important. This what thrilled me …

I love bread and could never cut it out of my diet, even if I am supposed to be watching my waistline. I like different varieties of bread and Warburtons are a brand that I associated with tasty, seeded breads. I bought a pack of three Warburtons …

Since my husband unfortunately lost his job last year, our family was forced to seriously reconsider how much we spend each week at the grocery store. One area where we found it was easy to save money was buying purchasing generic products in place of higher priced name brand …

Vanilla extract is something I always try to keep on hand. Although I don’t do much baking, I love to put a drop or two into my coffee to give it a little added flavor. I don’t like bland-tasting coffee, so I love to always have this …

Always craving for sweets or every after meals? Or you’re the chocolates monster type person? Well try DARS chocolates by Morinaga, Japan. I believe it is already available in out in other countries as well. I have seen some in the Philippines. So far, I have tasted two flavors …

Typically, if I’m looking for a quick lunch, I can’t go wrong with Chunky Soup. But, after trying their Vegetable Beef Stew, I have to say I don’t intend on buying that variety again.
Flavor wise, it was OK. It was a bit too salty for my tastes but it …

This is great glaze for a finishing touch on pieces made with clay! Basically, once I’m done baking my clay items and am finished with it, the clay feels a little rough. To give that finishing touch that I want with everything, I just put some of the Sculpey …

We had a small get together at our house a couple weeks ago and, as is usually the case whenever we invite a lot of people over (mainly because nobody ever seems to show up), we ended up with a ton of food and beverages left over.
One of the …

After seeing some commercials on tv, I decided upon taking a bit of a risk. Rather than frequenting my normal chicken wing place, I decided to take up the Domino’s offer for the supposedly new chicken. I took their 2 for 5.99 apiece offer, and I selected …

Wendy’s 1/4 lb. Single Burger is a burger that I ordered once, but then realized I would be better off not ordering again because the American cheese was something that I had to pay extra for. Without the American cheese, the burger simply would not be worth eating for …

As a lover of the well known cheese cracker snack, I tried another one their flavors. Cheez-it hot N spicy. Cheez-it that’s flavored with original Tabasco hot sauce. Next to the original cheez-it crackers, these have become my favorite. I found that I can eat them by themselves, with …

I first had a Chicken Sandwich from Tranquil when I went there to get a burger and they had none. Instead all they had to offer was this simple yet delicious and filling chicken sandwich which came at a very reasonable price.
Tranquil’s Chicken Sandwich is basically a white flour …

What can you say about Cheerio’s? It’s a breakfast staple that I, along with many of you I suspect, grew up on. We have fond memories of getting up in the morning and pouring ourselves a big bowl of cereal.
Unlike many cereals, Cheerios has next to no …

When I first found out that I have a gluten intolerance, it was very difficult figuring out what to eat. It seemed like almost everything on the shelves at the grocery store were off limits for me. I eventually did find a few gluten free products that tasted alright, …

The list of chocolate desserts that I have tried out is really long because I really like chocolate desserts, specially these pudding type ones. Neuburger Chocolate dessert with cream is very high on my list because it is very tasty and because of another thing that is very important …

Some days I wake up and just don’t have any energy at all and this lasts for hours, so I usually turn to the heavy duty arsenal for energy like Cliff Energy Bars to give my body the boost it needs to get going. Cliff energy bars …

Energy and protein bars often taste like crap. Many of them, just have a healthy taste to them, and it’s annoying. Nature Valley Oats —˜N Honey bars are the exact opposite of that. They’re both extremely good for you, and they taste good as well. I personally find them …

One of my favorite kinds of candy is Gobstoppers. They are small jawbreakers that come in different colors and flavors. They also come with regular kind insides or chewy insides, but the chewy ones are a little harder to find. I like them both, but I …

I’d heard about Famous Amos cookies off and on as a teenager, but I was an adult before I’d had any. That was when some individual packages were offered in a company snack box. I couldn’t resist and had to try them. After that, I regularly …

I started buying these a while back because I wanted to have options that were quick & simple but that were not unhealthy. As a busy student & part time worker, I don’t have time sometimes to prepare a meal so these are really helpful for on the go …

Cotton Patch Cafe - Funnel Cake is something that I believe is only available at Texas Cotton Patch locations, although I am not entirely positive. The reason I believe it might be only available at Texas Cotton Patch Cafe locations is because the reason Cotton Patch is offering a …

Of all the burgers I’ve had at Checkers, my favorite would definitely have to be the Big Buford. There’s something about the double-stacked burger that makes my mouth water, and I think it definitely has something to do with that famous Checkers’ seasoning.
The Big Buford is a double burger …

Over the past year, I’ve often enjoyed the Sourdough Jack Sandwich which is part of the Jack in the Box fast food menu. I figured it was about time to review the food product here. Sometimes I hesitate to do reviews for fast food items because they …

Santitas White Corn Tortilla Chips make me wish that I would be more daring when I shop for chips at the store. My sister loves tortilla chips and she’s always buying them and then bringing me the remnants. Recently, she brought over a bag of leftovers from …

It was a day when I came in the house of my boyfriend and it was so summer season. I was so thirsty. My boyfriend and his mother offered a Nestle Iced tea lemon flavor to me. At first, I was not a fan of Lemon flavor tea but …

Usually I would not choose to have egg mayonnaise as I tend to find it rather bland, but I thought I had nothing to lose in trying this one from The Co-op’s own brand as it was reduced to only 25 pence. The Co-op is great for dramatic …

It used to be that, when I needed a quick and easy dinner, I could rely on Banquet Pot Pies. That’s no longer the case.
I haven’t bought pot pies in a while because the only kind I like are the Turkey and, because of some re-call, those were pulled …

We decided to have pizza last night and, since I knew it wasn’t going to be something that would last us through our late night movie watching, I decided to pick up something to snack on.
The store I was at happened to have Bernie’s Bites Beer Battered Brat Bites …

Like many people, I’m an ice cream fan and love to indulge every once and a while. I spotted bell blue’s coconut fruit bars, when cruising the frozen treat selection of my neighborhood grocers. It was priced at $2.99 per box or 2 for $5. I love coconut, whether …

Yes, I admit, I love coffee in whatever form it may come to me, be it brewed or instant. Here in the Philippines, there is proliferation of the 3-in-1 instant coffees in sachets and I have tried most of them at one time or another. I am not impressed …

The Great Value Sugar Cookies come twenty-four to a pack and sell for one dollar and twenty-nine cents. Once I opened the package, I had to put the sugar cookies in a ziplock bag because they aren’t individually wrapped or in a bag that can be resealed. I found …

I absolutely love tuna and I always make it at home in a completely different way. Definitely not tuna salad style. Either way, I was introduced to Tranquil’s Tuna Sandwich by one of my friends who was very accustomed to having them. They only come available in already sliced …

Since shopping at our new Super-Wal-Mart I have been trying out their generic brand of products, called “Great Value”. I’ve found great grocery savings at Super-Wal-Mart, and if I can substitute a product I usually buy with one of their Great Value products, the savings is even greater. I …

Not being a particularly avid chocolate consumer I only discovered these venerable French bonbons (the factory, while backed by big capital now, has been in operation since 1922) only two years ago, while shopping for my aunt who IS a chocolate addict.
I’ll admit the first thing that made my notice …

I have been watching the commercials for Jell-o Temptations for months now wondering if they were as good as the commercials claimed. I mean watching parents trying to scare their children out of a snack seriously made me wonder. Yesterday after taking my daughter to the dentist her father …
