Cafe W Honey Barbecue Wings
My wife decided she wanted to make spaghetti last night and, because we didn’t have half the ingredients we needed, I found myself running up to Walgreens shortly after getting home from work.
While there, I thought an appetizer would be a smart buy (I was starving at the time) …
Gatorade G2
G2 is the newest line of drinks from Gatorade. G2 is a low calorie sports drink. The 20-ounce bottle of fruit punch only contains 70 calories. Of course, it still has the benefits of electrolytes for athletes.
I decided to try it for the first time when I received a …
Del Monte Tomato Sauce
Del Monte tomato sauce is something I would normally buy during my weekly trips to the grocery. I love making tomato dishes and i would normally cook tomato based foods at least three times a week. Del Monte Tomato Sauce has the right blend of spices and the tomato …
Smart Balance Trans Fat-free Buttery Spread
Like many of us, I am concerned about trans fats in my food, as well as curbing high cholesterol. As I get older - and not at the weight I wish I could be - this becomes even more of a concern. I have known for a while that …
Ore-Ida Steak Fries
For decades, I’ve used various versions of Ore-Ida potatoes. I think my first love was their crinkle fries. Now, though, I’ve tried out another variety, and it’s become my favorite thus far. Ore-Ida Steak Fries are thick cut potatoes. The package describes them as being …
Clipper Organic Freeze Dried Arabica Instant Coffee
This instant coffee from the Clipper brand —“ Organic Freeze-Dried Arabica Coffee —“ is a very ethical product indeed. It is marked as —˜Fairtrade’, it is organic and therefore cultivated without the use of pesticides I presume and even the jar is made of 60% recycled glass. …
Zone Perfect Nutrition Bar
During the week, I find that I have not as much time as I would like to have a proper meal or a proper snack. Since I am on the go, I look for something that is nutritious and filled with protein to give me energy to make it …

Nocciolata Organic Hazelnut Spread
If you are a fan of Nutella, then this Italian hazelnut spread is a must try for you. I didn’t think it got any better than Nutella until I tried this incredible concoction; it is so creamy and delicious! You really must try it! Your taste …
Lipton Natural Tea Bags
I use quite a bit of Lipton tea bags. I usually make iced tea with it but have, on occasion enjoyed a cup of hot tea. Lipton brand tea bags are a bit more expensive than other brands at $5.99 per 100 count box. I choose to purchase Lipton …
Mrs. Freshley’s Red Velvet Creme Cakes
I did not find anything all that remarkable or special about Mrs. Freshley’s Red Velvet Creme Cakes. I really did not find anything at all, actually, when it came to this snack. Just like with the pink snowballs, the food coloring makes for an attractive eye catcher, but other …
Wudy Ketchup, frankfurters by Aia Food
When it comes to breakfast I usually eat cereals or something fast. I rarely skip it because if I do then later I feel hungry but since I started living with my boyfriend at least once a month, usually during the weekend, we indulge in Wudy frankfurters in the morning. …
Stouffer’s Turkey Tetrazzini
Stouffer’s Turkey Tetrazzini is not quite as good as the tuna noodle casserole that I really enjoy, but I still like to purchase this meal every so often. I simply do not like turkey quite as much as I like some other things, but when I do have a …
Mrs. Dash Italian Medley Salt-Free Seasoning Blend
I enjoy these seasoning blends because they have a lot flavor to them and don’t contain any sodium, which I think my diet could certainly use much less of. This Italian-style variety has a nice, pleasant, slightly sweet and slightly spicy scent and flavor that seems to me like …
Champion Lime Juice
We have a huge lime tree in our yard that has borne a lot of limes thoughout the years. However, recently when the country started having a drought, we began to find less and less limes on it, to the point where one day we did not even find one. …
Stouffer’s Extra Cheese French Bread Pizza
Stouffer’s Extra Cheese French Bread Pizza is an enjoyable treat that I think cheese lovers will be satisfied with. I definitely consider myself a cheese lover and I find this pizza to be an enjoyable one to have. I think it is one of the best frozen French bread …
Willie’s Homemade Vanilla and Cookies Ice Cream
Here in Trinidad there is a little place at one of the malls named Willie’s Ice Cream Parlour. They make homemade ice creams and serve them up just like you would get regular ice creams. You can choose from having it in cones, cups, even fancy banana splits and …
New York Style - Panetini Garlic Parmesan
New York Style - Panetini Garlic Parmesan is a pretty taste topping to add to my salads, although it also makes for a flavorful snack item. What it is is little pieces of toast that have been baked in an oven and seasoned with garlic and Parmesan flavoring. I …
Diet Pepsi with Cherry
I have been drinking diet soda for about three years now, after becoming addicted during a diet phase. The syrupy aftertaste of normal soda just does not cut it for me now, so I have been sugar-free for nearly the same amount of time. I have also been a …
Mantia’s Texas Toast
I made a spaghetti dinner last night and, as is usually the case, I wanted to have garlic bread with it.
I ended up picking up a box of Mantia’s Texas Toast, figuring I could make a couple slices and have more for another time. I didn’t expect to eat …
Healthy Choice Mediterranean Pasta
I haven’t had too much experience with Mediterranean food beyond pitas and hummus. When Wal-Mart had the All Natural entrees on sale, I wanted to try Healthy Choice’s interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine. From the description on the box, it sounded like a pasta salad with the vegetables, …
Amy’s Pesto Tortellini Bowl
Amy’s is a super company that delivers organic, healthy foods. I love pesto and tortellini. When I saw Amy’s Pesto Tortellini Bowl in my grocery store’s frozen section, I bought it immediately. I was highly disappointed with this product, which took me completely by surprise. Pesto tortellini is a …
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 …
Dole 100% Pineapple Orange Juice
Dole 100% Pineapple Orange Juice is one of our family’s favorite juices. It is a frozen concentrate - actually a blend of two concentrates, orange and pineapple - that comes in a 12 fl. oz. can and needs to be kept in the freezer until you are ready to …
Fruit by the Foot Variety Pack
This is an extremely handy dandy snack for work and school. It’s cheap, it’s delicious, and it’s easy to share. First of all, just like the rice krispies, I buy this in a really big box at Costcos. It’s only $10 for like 40 pieces and they would have …
Hostess Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
Hostess is one of the most familiar brand names in America. I imagine you would have a hard time finding someone that didn’t know what a Twinkie was. Considering the popularity of the brand, I’m really surprised that Hostess hadn’t taken advantage of the pumpkin craze that never fails …
Stouffer’s Five Cheese Lasagna
Those that love cheese should most definitely give Stouffer’s Five Cheese Lasagna a try! I really like this lasagna because I really like cheese! The following delicious cheeses are all present and account for: cottage, ricotta, romano and parmesan cheese and there is a mozzarella cheese topping, too! …
Bolthouse Farms Strawberry Banana Fruit Smoothie with Apple Juice
I highly recommend Bolthouse Farms Strawberry Banana Fruit Smoothie with Apple Juice, which is my favourite smoothie drink. I enjoy the delicious, smooth drink because I find that it is a subtly sweet, healthy product that contains my 100% Vitamin C intake for the day. Plus, it contains three …
Miss Vickie’s Jalapeno potato chips
I love potato chips. They are one of my favorite types of snack foods. Although I realize that they are not the healthiest snack foods around and I try to moderate my intake, I am always on the lookout for a new potato chip taste sensation. Recently, …
Tesco 2 New York Vanilla Cheesecake Slices
I have had a major craze lately on proper desserts and puddings every night instead of biscuits and snacks and I really am going to get fat if I do not watch it. My latest indulgence is this packet of 2 cheesecake slices from Tesco, the New York …
Marco’s Pizza - Sausage Pizza
When I have a taste for a flavorful and delicious sausage pizza, I head on over to Marco’s Pizza. The reason I go to Marco’s Pizza when my mouth is watering for a tasty sausage pizza is because unlike so many pizza joints, both local and of the big …
Coffee Twist Iced Black Coffee in Hazelnut Flavor
The internet connection in the house we are temporarily staying is very slow at night, and so to make the most of the captcha and online writing work that I do, I wake up very early in the morning. To help me really wake up, I would drink hot …
Alaska Condensed Milk
I grew up drinking Alaska. Alaska is my milk when I was a baby. I put Alaska condensed milk on my Champorado. Champorado is cooked rice like a porridge but chocolate in flavor. Alaska Condensed completes the taste. It also good in coffee, I use it as a creamer …
Sharwood’s Tandoori Mukhani for Butter Chicken
I was discussing how much I love the Indian dish of Butter Chicken, and a friend, who loves to cook, told me about a sauce that is available which allows you to simply cook chicken in it and voila! You can cook a difficult and time-consuming recipe quickly, in …
Hamburger Helper Crunchy Taco
My family eats a lot of hamburger when finances are tight. I would not consider hamburger helper to be a gourmet meal but it is affordable. It costs around $2 for the box plus whatever you paid for the hamburger. For me this meal including meat …
Campbell’s: Cream of Broccoli Soup At Hand
Campbell’s: Cream of Broccoli Soup At Hand is superior to the Chicken & Stars flavor because this particular flavor has a great deal more taste! I enjoy broccoli and this soup certainly does it justice! Plus, it’s so quick and easy to make - I just have to stick …
Stouffer’s Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo
Although I find Stouffer’s Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo to be a meal that has a moderately enjoyable flavor to it, I must say that I have difficulty finding the right side dishes to go with this meal. The reason I needed side dishes is because this meal is simply not …
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.
Del Monte …
Kuchenmeister Lemon Pound Cake
Kuchenmeister Lemon Pound Cake is a product that I came across at an ALDI Food Market store for one dollar and sixty-nine cents. I decided to give it a try and see how well it tasted compared with The Bakery At Walmart Lemon Sliced Loaf Cake, a bakery item …
The Keg Steakhouse and Bar Seasoning Salt
Seasoning salt seems a rather silly thing to get excited about, because in reality, aren’t all seasoning salts made with the same ingredients, and look and taste exactly alike? I thought so too-generally, I tried to always have some on hand, mainly to flavour steaks, hamburgers and even salads, …
Kroger - Three Minute Microwave Pizza Cheeseburger
Cheeseburger pizza is something that I never thought I would try despite liking both cheeseburgers and pizza. I just never believed that the two could taste that good when merged into one. The one and only reason that I decided to give this Kroger - Three Minute Microwave Pizza …
DiGiorno Pizzas
I was in the mood for pizza last night and ended up buying a frozen one from the brand DiGiorno.
You’ve probably seen the ads for this brand, the ones that make you believe you will mistake DiGiorno for a pizza that was delivered. I’m here to tell you that …
Little Debbie Pumpkin Muffins
Little Debbie Pumpkin Muffins are quite good, in my opinion. I like pumpkin flavor, and these muffins boast a fairly delightful pumpkin flavor in each and every bite. The pumpkin flavor is rich and very real. Not quite as rich or real as the pumpkin flavor found in say …
Chowking Orange Chicken
I always see the TV commercial of this new chicken product of Chow king which is the Orange Chicken so I decided to try it yesterday when me and my Mom went to the mall. I ordered Orange Chicken with a soda because I am not yet hungry at …
Pringles Stix Cheese
If I had to, I don’t think I could choose between the cheese-flavored “stix” and the jalapeno-flavored “stix”, both made by Pringles. Both are really good and great to have just as a snack or with a sandwich in place of potato chips. This review is about the cheese-flavored …
Steel Reserve beer
Steel Reserve is what’s known as a high gravity lager. It’s slow-brewed for at least 28 days and has 8.1% alcohol. This is a sweeter, darker kind of beer and I like it’s smooth flavor. It doesn’t have the bitterness or bad aftertaste that I’ve noticed with some other …
New York Style - Panetini Garlic
New York Style - Panetini Garlic is a type of toasted bread sliced into small pieces that I will not be purchasing again. Unlike the three cheese and Parmesan garlic varieties, this variety is rather bland and unimpressive. The garlic flavoring is just too weak for my taste buds …
Mint Chocolate M&Ms (Christmas Edition)
I went grocery shopping the other day at S&R and saw amongst the extensive displays of chocolate the mint chocolate flavored M&Ms. As it was in a very festive green packaging with a female M&M Santa in the North pole, it caught my eye. Add the fact that …
Carnation White Chocolate Hot Chocolate
I really like this mix. It’s a powder you can buy at the grocery store with all the other hot chocolate mixes, but it’s white chocolate instead. Yum.
It is a little bit too sweet sometimes, and that can give me a bit of a headache, but if you use …
Tyson Chicken Breast Patties
I like the chicken breast patties made by Tyson. I think the patties have a good chicken flavor. The patties are particularly good when I add some lettuce, mayonnaise and even some pickles. They are simple to prepare and I am given the option to heat up the patties …
