Breyers Fat Free Ice Cream
Some time ago my doctor told me that I had high cholesterol. She recommended medication, exercise, and a diet low in fats. I have always been a big ice cream fan and hated to give it up, but most regular ice creams are high in fat. …
Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers Roasted Chicken Fresca
I am a lover of everything chicken. I love chicken soups of all kind, chicken sausage, chicken patties, chicken sandwiches, canned chicken, etc—¦. you name it, I’ll love it. I even love “Chicken of the Sea” tuna because the label connotates tuna to chicken. One of …
Albertsons Banana Nut ice cream
This flavor caught my eyes very unexpectedly when I was shopping at Albertsons. And with around a dollar off from regular price, I decided to give Albertsons Banana Nut ice cream a try instead of my usual brands of Breyer’s and Dreyer’s. The experience of tasting this ice cream …
Great Value Chocolate Milk Mix
Great Value Chocolate Milk Mix has left me a bit disappointed. I used to make chocolate milk with chocolate syrup before, and have recently decided to try the powdered mix. Like all Great Value products, this mix is reasonably priced: $ 1.97 for a 1 lb can. You can …
Sweet N low Sugar
I wanted to try something new when it came to the sugars that I consumed. I was trying to become a bit more healthy in my own right. The thing that actually made it difficult was trying new stuff like sweet n low. Since I was cutting out the …

Wye Rivers Crabbers Crackers
Wye Rivers Crabbers Crackers are one of those things that I saw and couldn’t believe it. I’ve seen potato chips with a similar flavor, but never crackers. They don’t look all that bad and they actually appear kind of cute, until you read the ingredients and the fine print. …
Selecta Gold Series Vanilla Almond
One day I was craving for vanilla ice cream so my sister went out to buy some. She came home with two pints of a 465ml Selecta Gold Series Vanilla Almond ice cream. The packaging is simply black and gold but it looks quite sophisticated.
Upon opening the lid, …
Stouffer’s Escalloped Chicken & Noodles
Stouffer’s Escalloped Chicken & Noodles is probably a meal that I will not purchase again. The reason I will likely not purchase it again is because I did not find the combination meal to be all that satisfying. It even upset my stomach a little. I think there was …
Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies - Raspberry
My purchase of Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies - Raspberry was quite by accident. I had someone helping me with my shopping, and I directed them to pick up the Milanos I had pointed to. I normally get the milk chocolate variety. In all honesty, I didn’t …
Baci Perugina Milk Chocolates
I thought Baci Perugina chocolates comes from a different manufacturer but I was surprised when I read the label that it is from Nestle. This is one of the latest chocolate brands that I have tried. I love chocolates because of my inborn sweet tooth. I got my package from …
Hunt’s Garlic and Cheese Pasta Sauce
Product Description: Can of spaghetti/pasta sauce available in most stores for around $1.50 per can. This particular variety puts an emphasis on the garlic and cheese that is mixed into the tomato sauce.
What I liked about this product: I try to avoid canned or jarred spaghetti sauces and prefer …
Healthy Choice Café Steamers Chicken Pesto Classico
The main complaint I had with the last Café Steamers entrée I tried was the angel hair pasta. I prefer heartier pasta shapes, like rotini or farfelle. I wanted to try Chicken Pesto Classico because the pasta was rotini and I love pesto. Also, from the …
Nestle Low-Fat Milk
Full cream milk is advisable for children to enhance their growth potential and make their bones stronger. For older persons, low-fat milk is preferred because they are avoiding accumulation of fats. As they become more conscious of their figure especially women, they tend to be picky on what they …
Ben & Jerry’s Single Size Ice Cream
All types of food come available in various sizes these days, but I had to admit that I was very surprised when Ben & Jerry came out with a single serving size of their ice cream. Each mini-carton is about 3.6 ounces, and each comes with a small …
Blue Bunny Champ Champ! Strawberry Ice Cream Cones
Blue Bunny Champ Champ! Strawberry Ice Cream Cones is not quite as rich in delicious strawberry flavor as the premium double strawberry ice cream made by Blue Bunny, but I nonetheless found the cone to be enjoyable. Pretty much everything about this cone possesses a strawberry flavor. The ice …
Betty Crocker Microwave Delights
I love cake and brownies, but I live alone so it’s often a bad idea to cok a whole pan of browniess. I either can’t eat them all, or I try to eat them all which is a slo a horrible idea. Betty Crocker has just come out with …
Greenwich Lasagna Supreme
I never liked the fast food chain Greenwich and for the longest time, I felt that their food items were below par compared to the food offerings of other fast food chains. Yes, the food items are very affordable but then the quality of the food is so poor …
Marks & Spencer Dark Chocolate Digestive Biscuits
These biscuits are really good! I take out the package from the fridge late at night if I want a midnight snack or early morning snack. I really love the texture of the biscuit itself. They’re crunchy, and have those little bits. I like that they …
York Peppermint Pattie
I just adore a good chocolate mint candy. My favorite is See’s, but to get that, it means a trip to a See’s store, and that’s not real convenient. So, I have to find something at the grocery store to tide over my peppermint craving. There …
Strongbow England’s Dry Cider
I find it hard to imagine finding very many words to describe a drink, especially when it is not a high-end, famous wine or single-malt scotch, or something equally as unique or one-of-a-kind. I do enjoy beer, wine and cider, but I
have lately found a truly refreshing, uniquely-flavoured drink …
Mrs. Freshley’s Apple Danish
I was somewhat disappointed with Mrs. Freshley’s Apple Danish. The reason I was somewhat disappointed is because the apple danish really did not have a great deal of flavor that I could taste and enjoy. There seemed to be a deficiency in apple flavor, although perhaps a deficiency is …
Diet Pepsi
Diet Pepsi is perhaps the worst diet soda on the market. It always tastes flat and looses any carbonation quickly. It tastes like rancid water, not a soft drink.
On the up side, Diet Pepsi has no calories, fat, etc. If you are on a diet or trying to watch …
Bucha Lemongrass Ginger Kombucha Drink
I was just getting over the flu and looking for some sort of ginger drink to ease my stomach when I came across this drink. It sounded like an interesting combination of flavors (I love lemongrass,) so I decided to give it a try. I’d never had kombucha before, …
The Nestle Koko Krunch (chocolate cereal)
I thought the Nestle Koko Krunch wasn’t that good taste but when I tasted the Nestle Koko Krunch, I told to my self that it has a good taste and from that time, The Nestle Koko Krunch is one of my option to eat and one of my favorite …
Walkers Crisps
In all the time that I have eaten crisps I have come across some wacky limited edition Flavours. Well now we have even more unusual and yet tasty flavours by one of the most popular crisp brands Walkers.
With 5 varieties to choose from, Builders Breakfast, in my own frank opinion …
Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Oven Roasted Turkey Breast
My staple for lunch the past few years has been Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh oven roasted turkey breast. I love it because its cut thin. I hate thick slices of processed turkey or other lunch meats. Also, Mayer Deli Fresh oven roasted turkey breast folds so neatly …
Yoplait Creamy Harvest Peach Yogurt
My all time favorite creamy yogurt to eat for a healthy snack or breakfast is the Yoplait Creamy Harvest Peach Yogurt. It is almost fat free and has a real yummy creamy peach flavor to it that taste like you are eating a delicious dessert. I not only love …
Great Value: Frozen Pancakes Buttermilk
Great Value: Frozen Pancakes Buttermilk are pretty bland and I did not enjoy them enough to purchase them again. One of the main reasons I did not care for these pancakes is because they felt apart very, very easily, which is no big surprise to me since water, not …
L’oven Fresh Mini Muffins Blueberry
These mini muffins were okay, although they didn’t really satisfy me to the point where I wanted to rush out and purchase another package once they were all gone. There’s nothing really wrong with these mini muffins, they’re just pretty average, maybe slightly above average. Perhaps the best quality …
Bigelow’s Peppermint Herb Tea
You can get this in a bottle or it also comes in tea bags for convenience. It actually tastes a lot like peppermint and not those ‘fake’ ones that claim to taste like peppermint but actually lacks the peppermint taste (or it isn’t that potent) or just tastes TOO …
Wrigley’s Extra Cool Watermelon Gum
Wrigley’s has been one of my favorite brands of chewing gum for quite a while, so when I saw the new Wrigley’s Extra Cool Watermelon I had to check it out. I was not disappointed. The flavor may be a little too strong at first, but it quickly subsides …
Tazo Pomegranate Tea
I was a little apprehensive about ordering a tea from Starbucks. Typically, I order my favorite Caramel Macchiato, and that is enough to keep me sufficiently buzzed for a few hours. The Tazo teas looked appetizing. So I selected this herbal fruity flavor as a diversion …
Pringles Texas BBQ Sauce Crisps
The Texas BBQ Sauce flavored Pringles are one of my all time favorite crisps but they never last very long in my house and I find them quite addictive. They come in a big tube and according to the label there are about 90 big crisps in each …
Skinny Girl Margarita
I guess I’ve been drinking Skinny Girl Margarita for the better part of a year now. I’m a big Bethany Frankle fan anyway so I was eager to find out what the big deal was with this drink. When it showed up at my local Safeway, on sale no …
Millville Shredded Wheat Bite Size Whole Grain Wheat Cereal
The Millville Shredded Wheat Bite Size Whole Grain Wheat Cereal comes in a sixteen point four box for one dollar and eighty-nine cents. This is pure shredded wheat cereal as there is no frosted side. As one can imagine, the cereal doesn’t
taste like much of anything. It’s definitely not …
Gross Mint Flavored Soda
Ok, I really need to rant about this soda that I just saw in a store and bought. It was Gross!!! No seriously, don’t drink it! Lol. The name of the soda is called “St. Nick’s Candy Cane Cola”. The only way to describe this is to call it …
TLC Cherry Dark Chocolate Chewy Granola Bars
My favorite granola bar to have when I am hungry is the TLC Cherry Dark Chocolate Chewy Granola Bars. I like these granola bars because they are made with whole grains, dark chocolate, dried sweet cherries, almonds and honey, which are all ingredients that are nourishing to the body. …
Ika sashimi - Japanese squid dish
Let me be the one to say a couple of things when it comes to food. I love to eat and I always have loved to eat. I feel that trying new things should be apart of everyone’s life. But there are things that I won’t try and there …
McDonald’s Double Cheeseburger
Because I’m a cheapskate who sometimes resorts to counting change and heading to the Golden Arches for the $1.00 value menu, I have become a seasoned eater of the double cheeseburger at McDonald’s. In the last year, I have probably had about 80 of them, usually two at …
Subway (Berkeley, CA near campus)
Subway, “Eat Fresh,” so goes the slogan. Although I have never found Subway to be fresh, it is always been a healthier, delicious alternative to traditional fast food. Subway is one of those places that you will frequent once a week, because you know exactly what you are getting …
Tesco Value Pasta in Tomato and Onion Sauce
Just because an item is cheap does not mean that it is necessarily unpleasant, but this ‘Pasta in a Tomato & Onion Sauce’ from the Tesco Value range is not one of them. This was only 28 pence for a 110g sachet which gives you one portion, so …
Healthy Choice Country Vegetable Soup
This is a very flavorful, healthy and simple to make soup that makes for a terrific lunch or even midday snack. For one thing, this soup comes in a microwavable container and all I need to do is just stick this container in the microwave and set the time. …
Mrs. Freshley’s Crunch Mini Donuts
I find Mrs. Freshley’s Crunch Mini Donuts to be pretty bland, although I really am having a hard time determining if these or the chocolate variety are more dull in taste. The coconut flavor is not all that spectacular and really, a little on the bland side. It is …
Weight Watchers Giant Fudge Bars
Truly, these delicious ice cream bars do not taste diet in any way. Many of the light ice cream bars I’ve tried before have an icy texture that makes it obvious that they ice cream bars have more ice and less cream. But these Weight Watchers Giant Fudge Bars …
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 …
Tuna fish in olive oil Sapore Vero
We all know that Rio mare is one of the most advertised tuna fish and it is really good but I really hate paying a lot of money for things that I can get for much cheaper. I know so many people who aren’t very rich but buy only …
Atkins Carb Loaf bread
When you’re on the atkins diet you cant have anything that is high in carbs, which usually cuts out things like bread and pasta. This Atkins break is especially made for people who are on the atkins diet and is formulated into a low carb version of bread taht …
Tai Pei Chicken Fried Rice
The picture on the box that the Tai Pei Chicken Fried Rice came in sure looked mighty appetizing. Large pieces of chicken, assorted vegetables and white rice all decorated the box. One fourteen point two ounce box cost three dollars, a price that I considered to be okay as …
Cadbury dairy milk chocolate is certified Fair Trade
Cadbury dairy milk chocolate is now certified Fair Trade. This is such a relief for me, being a chocoholic with ethics can be difficult because many chocolate manufacturers do not guarantee a fair trade for developing world producers. It’s more important now, given recent news reports on …
