Presto Creams
Presto peanut butter is my favorite biscuit, if not skyflakes fit or Ritz. Presto is a local biscuit and snacks brand that has been around for quite some time already. I can even still remember when I was in school that my mom used to buy some of its …
Vermont Maid Syrup
Vermont Maid Syrup is expensive and it is also not really spectacular in any sense of the word. The syrup has a decent flavor to it, although it is not as rich and delicious as the syrups made by Log Cabin and Mrs. Butterworth’s. The syrup is relatively thick, …
Aunt Jemima Sausage Egg and Cheese on Croissant
Aunt Jemima Sausage Egg and Cheese on Croissant is not a bad breakfast sandwich by any means, but it is not a breakfast sandwich that I desire to have again. I much prefer the maple syrup filled mini-pancakes in place of the croissant, and I can get a sandwich …
Our Family Enriched White Bread
Since I was picking up lunch meat last night (I found it on sale), I decided I probably should buy a loaf of bread too. We had some bread at home already. But, with sandwiches, we go through it too fast and I didn’t want to risk running out.
Since …
Kirkland Signature Ground Sirloin and Loin of Beef Patties
I decided to buy these burgers at Costco last week. I was having a BBQ and figured I’d try them out. I’ve bought the Kirkland ground beef patties before and wasn’t thrilled by them. They’re already thin before you cook them. After you cook them …
Nugatti Hazelnut/Cocoa Spread 200g
I just found the perfect competition of Nutella, it’s Nugatti which I just bought for $1. I thought the packaging looked like Nutella, so I bought it. The price is about the same, although Nutella has a lot more content at 13 ounces. This is a …
Wylwood Sliced Beets
Wylwood Sliced Beets are canned cooked beets that you simply open, warm up and eat. They are sweet and juicy; I suppose if you just boil fresh beets with some sugar you will achieve similar result. While I do like beets and make several dishes with them, I am …
Loyd Grossman Korma Curry Sauce
This is the most gorgeous korma sauce from Loyd Grossman’s range. It is perfect for my taste and the best I have ever bought in a jar. I know a lot of people like their hot curries but personally they just blow my head off and I …
Smucker’s Strawberry Preserves
Smucker’s Strawberry Preserves are some of the tastiest preserves you will ever get your hands on. I love the chunks of strawberry that I get from Smucker’s Strawberry Preserves. It makes them taste even better and you know that they are using a lot of real strawberries. I purchase …
Shake n Bake Buffalo Flavor
Manufactured by Kraft Foods, Shake n Bake is a breadcrumb-style coating mix for chicken or pork. It comes in a variety of flavors, some that are specifically identified as being for either chicken or pork. I have tried a number of different flavors and always enjoyed them. …
Butterfingers
One thing I inherited from my mother was the love Butterfingers. She really enjoyed these candy bars, and I always have, too.
Butterfingers are crispy treats with a texture that is similar to peanut brittle. They have a chocolate coating over the orangy crisp. Now, this is …
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Cheesy Meatball Rigatoni
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Cheesy Meatball Rigatoni is quite a flavorful meal that I enjoy for the most part. About the only thing that I do not very much like about this meal are the meatballs. The meatballs simply are not very tasty. Perhaps it is because I like …
Newman’s Parmesean & Garlic Salad Dressing
My husband and I have recently been trying to include more vegetables into our daily diet. We have come to the sudden and harsh reality that we are now close to thirty years old, and no longer have the bodies that we did as teenagers. Yes, we …
Jell-o Gelatin - Cranberry
Jell-o Gelatin - Cranberry variety is not really a flavor that I go wild over like some other flavors that I never seem to get tired of, like the blueberry variety. I get a taste for cranberries maybe a couple of times a year, if that, and when I …
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 …
Quality House Extra Dry Gin
I drink Gin and Tonic when we are entertaining friends, but it is difficult to find a decent dry Gin, unless you buy Quality House Extra Dry Gin. It is 35% alcohol, and I usually purchase the smaller bottle of 200 ml.
Quality House Exrta Dry Gin is refreshing when served …
Kashi Heart to Heart Honey Toasted Oat Cereal
Every morning I enjoy eating my favorite cereal which is Kashi Heart to Heart Honey Toasted Oat Cereal. I like this cereal because it is made from oat flour, sugar cane, corn, fiber, buckwheat, barley, honey, salt, white tea, grape seed, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, green tea, red wheat, rye, …
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 …
Oscar Meyers Selects: Rotisserie Chicken Breast Lunch Meat
Oscar Meyer is that brand many affectionately know for their lunch meat, lunchables and hot dogs. I’ve come to try their brand of cold cut lunch meat. Instead of getting my usual slow roasted turkey, I decided to give the Selects Rotisserie Chicken breast, lunch meat a try.
What I …
Glen Tea
The ancient old Chinese tradition of drinking tea has become an adopted one for me as well as some of my close friends, and the tea of choice is Glen Tea.
I have had and tasted a variety of different tea brands over the years and I have finally settled …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Monster Cookie
This is a pretty tasty ice cream variety! Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Monster Cookie is an ice cream variety that consists of peanut butter ice cream, fudge and cookie pieces that contain multi-colored chocolate chip bites. The peanut butter ice cream is quite rich and authentic in flavor, …
Walker’s Steak and Onion Crisp
Visiting the UK brought me many new experiences, including new foods and beverages. I was surprised at just how differently our cultures eat! One thing seems to be universal though, chips. I am referring to what we call potato chips—“ they call them “crisps”
My partner brought …
Fresh Crab Cakes (Albertson’s)
I usually do all of my seafood shopping at my local Albertson’s grocery store. They usually have good sales and quality seafood, unlike other stores near my area. One day I was there to purchase my lobster tail for the month when I cam across some advertised crab cakes. …
Pancake Bun Fillings
Whenever there’s a heavy rain and my stomach is hungry for a bit, I would opt to make Pancake Bun Fillings. This is a recipe that I have came up with and I would recommend for all to make during your hunger pangs.
Get some pancakes that are not yet …
Red Rock Deli Sea Salt and Balsamic Vinegar chips
After being so impressed and surprised with how good the Red Rock Deli Fire Roasted Chilli & Sea Salt potato chips were, I decided to try one of their other flavours in this range. There were many to choose from and some of these flavours included: Dijon …
Co-op Apple and Blackcurrant squash
Previously I never would have shopped at the co-op, as I have always thought of the produce as being cheap and yet overpriced. I would have walked past the co-op in order to get to a different shop, or worse still, I would have got in my car and …
Home Style Select Ripple Potato Chips
These chips from the Dollar Tree are really no deal. Although they only cost a dollar, the bag size is just six ounces. I can get twelve ounce bags from Walmart for under two dollars when I purchase the Great Value brand and for even less at ALDI if …
Marie Callender’s Classic Seasoned Gourmet Croutons
Recently at the grocery store I decided to explore some new products to enhance my salads and one of the products I tried is Marie Callender’s Classic Seasoned Gourmet Croutons. The product comes in a very colorful and delightful five ounce bag. It really is solid packaging, …
Betty Crocker Super Moist cake mix
I really like Betty Crocker supermoist cake mix. It is something that is easy to use and is a quality product. I have had several of their mixes and have never had one that I thought was bad. My latest purchase was Betty Crocker Supermoist White cake mix.
It makes …
Dr. Lushus Corn Bread and Cheese
Some time ago when I had exams, I didn’t have enough time to eat dinner at home since I had to leave early. I also didn’t feel like eating much because I was still nervous even though I was a bit hungry. Therefore, what I ended up doing …
Ore-Ida Steam N’ Mash Potatoes
Being a person who isn’t a big fan of instant mashed potatoes and doesn’t have the time to clean, cook and mash fresh potatoes, I was thrilled to discover Ore-Ida’s Steam N’ Mash potatoes at the store last night.
This product, quite simply, is awesome. Rather than having to buy …
7 Up Soft Drink
Even when I was just a kid, I am very fond of the 7 Up Commercial where there’s a cartoon image of a man with this soft drink. As I grow older, I have tasted almost all soft drinks and all the competitors of 7 Up just like Mountain …
Justin’s mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
I’m a huge peanut butter fan and everything peanut butter flavoured immediately goes into my cart. I really love Reese’s peanut butter cups, however, I’ve been hearing a lot about Justin’s Dark Chocolate peanut butter cups lately, which are also organic, lower in sugar and vegan. I haven’t seen them …
Virgie’s Caramel Tarts
Whenever my family goes to the province they always bring back lots of snacks like mango tarts, sans rivals, egg tarts, and caramel tarts. My favorite provincial caramel tarts are the ones from Virgie’s from Bacolod City and they are very tasty and very affordable. They come in a …
Jennie-O Ground Turkey
When shopping at Super WalMart they had some Jennie-O Ground Turkey for sale, less than $2 a pound. We decided to give it a try, since we’ve heard turkey is better for you than beef, and ground beef here can be $4 or more a pound (unless on …
Oscar Myer Lunchables
Lunchables is a product which is made by the Oscar Myer company which is a great thing because of the name and this will allow you to rest assured that you are getting high quality meets and other products that will provide a balanced meal for your children during …
Pioneer Instant Gravy Mix
Gravy is an all around good sauce to go with almost anything. I like gravy, but am not the best at making it. I found a trusted instant gravy brand that I could trust. The Pioneer instant gravy mix is done within minutes and is thick, hot and fresh. …
Golden Fiesta Cooking Oil
Golden Fiesta Cooking Oil is my favorite cooking oil brand. You can definitely use this oil several times and it can still make your fried foods look golden as the name suggests. Golden Fiesta is reasonably priced and it is very easy to find. This product is available almost …
Gatorate Thirst Quencher in Twist Top Bottle
I prefer to purchase Gatorade Thirst Quencher specifically in the 24 ounce twist top bottles. The regular bottles with the removable caps are more difficult for my small children to manage. In addition they are not so easily re-usable and tend to make a lot of mess. …
Starbucks Arabian Mocha Sanani Coffee Blend
Talk about a rich coffee! Starbucks Arabian Mocha Sanani Coffee Blend is one of the strongest, most powerful coffees I’ve ever tasted. Rich, dark and complex, Arabian Mocha Sanani will kick start your day and wake you up! Starbucks uses Arabian and African coffee beans to make Arabian Mocha …
Nesvita Oatmeal
A healthy lifestyle, this is what I promised to myself after I resigned from work. I am beginning to take care of my wellness now. I learn that more than the financial needs it is more important to take care of our health. When I was still a full …
Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna in Oil
Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna in Oil is not a canned tuna that I will be consuming again. The only reason I tried it, despite being quite happy with the 365 Everyday Value brand is because this was on sale and I was open to the possibility that perhaps …
Spiech Farms Blueberries
I have never tried fresh blueberries before, so when my wife bought a small pack of them I was rather intrigued. I have eaten blueberry pie, waffles, jelly and all that, but not fresh berries. The blueberries were sold in a 4.4 oz clear plastic box. They were a …
Nestle Rolo Cookies
These lovely big cookies, called Rolo Cookies from Nestle, were going cheap at Sainsbury’s and I just had to have them. They only cost me 50 pence, reduced from one pound and for that you get five big, thick, crumbly cookies. They are called Rolo Cookies because …
Best Foods Spaghetti Sauce
Of all the pastas out there, the spaghetti definitely is the most palate winning dish that everybody craves for. To satisfy your spaghetti craving does not mean that you need to rush to your nearest favorite Italian fine dining cuisine, or fast food outlet. You can enjoy your …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Yellow Cakes
I found these Little Debbie 100 Calorie Yellow Cakes to be pretty average in flavor. If you have ever had a regular yellow cake before, you know that the flavor is inherently none too impressive, but it can make for a light and fluffy snack that does not spike …
Galaxy Chocolate
I have tried a lot of different chocolate in my time, and Galaxy, in my opinion has a great taste which is unlike any other chocolate I’ve tasted
Galaxy is owned by the Mars Company, and in some countries it sells as Dove. But here in the UK, the …
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Butter Substitute
I love butter on everything I eat. I bake with butter and use it to top every type of bread. I like to use butter to saute and even fry on occasion. Although I love butter and think it absolutely makes every meal delicious, I was trying to cut …
Solen Triplex
This wafer with milk and Cocoa cream and Hazelnut ingredients was kind a calling me from the shelf so I had to buy it. When I was smaller my father used to buy me a similar product which I really adored but I can’t find it anywhere any more …
