I much prefer purchasing the bags of frozen Pillsbury biscuits over the biscuits that come in a canned roll because I love the convenience of being able to bake only the number of biscuits I want or think I will need. Fresh biscuits always taste better than biscuits that …

I found Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Mint Chip to be a decent flavor, although it is certainly not in my top five favorites. The mint flavor of the the ice cream really tastes like any other brand of mint ice cream, and that in itself is actually disappointing …

It is really very nice to purchase a product that is advertised on television and in other forms as being something, in this case a pizza that is as good as delivery from a pizza restaurant, and find out that the company’s claims are in fact reasonable and accurate. …

Choc-Nut Milk Chocolate is probably the all time favorite chocolate of Filipinos. Eating a bar of Choc-Nut would lead to one more and more and more. This is a unique blend of grinded peanuts and chocolates in one bite sized bar. For me it is just one bite …

Carte Noire is the best instant coffee available in my opinion. This is a premium instant coffee and it is one of the most expensive brands but you can shop around for special offers as they do appear occasionally. I have just bought myself a 100g jar …

I really like the Talenti brand, and I buy a lot of their gelato flavors, despite the high price; however, the Tahitian Vanilla Bean, while a good base for other desserts, is not one of their best flavors.
At about $5 per pint, this is a fairly expensive ice …

I love to eat cereals as my breakfast, but unfortunately, since I am asian, I do have lactose-intolerance. Eating dairy products, like even the simplest ice cream will definitely send me to the comfort room because I would often have cramps and suffer from diarrhea. I do indulge from …

Grocery stores offer a massive plethora of selections when it comes to bottled water. Deer Park, Acadia, Icy Pure, and many others all produce bottled water, and most of their products are around the same price range. However, Fiji Water is quite expensive when compared with its competitors.

The evidence seems pretty conclusive that whole grain is good for the body, and now, down the pasta aisle at most grocery stores, alongside the regular pasta, there is now whole grain pasta. This is also true when it comes to the boxed macaroni and cheese mixes. One such …

After a long history of eating various veggie burgers, I was really stunned when I bought the Quorn product. My boyfriend, who is a carnivore, had no idea that it was not chicken. The patty and nuggets are white like chicken breast meat, and have a texture that …

Our daughter, like most children, has discovered she loves chocolate milk. And, even though we do try to keep it limited, we have no problem giving this to her if it means she’s getting the calcium she needs to grow.
After buying expensive brand names for a few months, we …

On my way to the University today, i went by tim hortons and didn’t want my usual hot chocolate and donut, so i decide to a try a muffin, the fruit explosion in particular. Tim hortons muffins are always really good and this one is no exception, it …

When I was a child there was a chocolate bar that really won me over. As a fan of Snickers and Mars, this was almost like a combination of the two, but better. It was as though someone had been told that these two chocolate bars were the best …

The blackberry pie baked straight from Kroger’s bakery is a little different from some of the other pies that the store sells. What separates this pie from say the apple or peach or blue berry pie is that it has a thicker crust to it. Now, I do not …

Red Baron is a favorite brand of mine when it comes to pizzas. I’ve had greater successes with some varieties more than others, but overall, it’s definitely a quality product. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to try their 5 Cheese & Garlic French Bread pizza. …

I usually try to avoid ordering pizza; primarily because of the cost and because it isn’t really the healthiest thing my family can be eating.
However, ever since Dominos brought back their Philly Cheesesteak pizza, I’m ordering from them much more than usual.
The thing I like about the pizza is …

About once a month, we pick up an Edwards pie from the grocery store. Most recently, the favorite has been the Hershey’s Creme Pie. They’re a little bit pricey, but it’s a great treat for now and then.
These pies come frozen, but thaw in about 2 hours in the …

I tried this yogurt the other day. I had the Oreo kind for dessert after dinner. It is really good and better for you than a lot of desserts. The Oreo kind has little crunchy things on top that you pour into the yogurt and mix it up. It …

I don’t really go to Starbucks anymore, but when I did I was always into their dark roasts like Sumatra or Italian roast. I haven’t had instant coffee in even longer, because it isn’t the best tasting coffee usually. Instant is something I felt I had moved on from. …

The Coca-Cola company has what I believe to be the closest competitor to its very popular and successful 7-Up competitor. Sprite Soda is a reasonable alternative to 7-Up, and its presence in various restaurants would seem to back that up. For many, the two are interchangeable.
Sprite Soda …

The Yamasa Tempura Dipping Sauce we got came in a 330ml plastic bottle
for around PHP140, which is roughly as much as a can of soda. Nothing
really fancy about the packaging; there’s a picture of tempura shrimps
on the label which helps if you can’t read Japanese characters,
because there are a …

When Kiss had first brought out their new line of baked goods, Fruit Slice was one of the included products. To be quite honest it never interested me much but my boyfriend kept mentioning everyday he would have a Fruit Slice and a small coke on his way home. …

Lean Cuisine fills a niche in the American life. I cannot tell you if they sell it anywhere else because when I am abroad I don’t go looking for frozen food. You eat a Lean Cuisine usually because you are watching your weight and are either too …

I’ve been trying to cut down on carbs. I saw an advertisement for these (also known as Shirataki noodles) and thought I’d give it a try. I purchased them directly from the Miracle Noodle website, which was from CA to PA. The order took five days to …

These Belgian Chocolate Eclair’s from the Co-operative’s own brand are absolutely delicious and you can buy a box of six for only about £1. These eclairs are on the small side at only about six inches long and a couple of inches wide but they make a pleasant …

Diet Sunkist is absolutely my favorite diet soft drink ever! It is amazingly similar in taste to the original Sunkist, but it has no calories! I highly recommend Diet Sunkist to anyone who is looking for a good tasting soft drink but does not necessarily want all of the calories …

I always liked dark strong coffee and had tried a lot of products that promised to give dark and strong coffee. But most of the time I ended up with a sour taste or not so strong coffee and was most of the time unsatisfied with it. When I …

I was at our local grocery store a few days ago and, as I often do, I took a few minutes to check out the specials in the meat department. As it turns out, they had bags of Johnsonville Classic Italian-Style Meatballs on sale for $5.99.
