Marks & Spencer Cheese & Onion Pie
I purchased this Cheese & Onion Pie from Marks & Spencer today and it is something I have purchased many times before. I was feeling a bit poorly today and did not feel like a big meal so just cooked up a small portion of this pie …
Numi Moonlight Spice Orange Spice White Tea
Numi teas are high on my list of favorite teas. Their flavor blends are unique, and they have the perfect variety of tea for any mood. Moonlight Spice Orange Spice White Tea is a delicately flavored white tea that smells divine. It brews up quickly, and it’s almost possible …
Chocolate Mountain Cookies
Chocolate Mountain Cookies are my favourite cookies. When I was little I didn’t like any kind of cookies because I was creazy about cakes with a lot of cream and I didn’t like cookies because they were toodry. but now I really adore most of them with chocolate chips. …
Cadbury Cream Eggs
When Easter-time comes around, I am always happy to see the arrival of Cadbury cream eggs to the stores. These eggs are about 2 inches tall. There is a chocolate shell that surrounds a sweet, sugary center that is supposed to resemble egg yolk. They can …
Quaker Chewy Yogourt Bars
These new granola bars are much tastier than most granola bars. The layer of yogourt on the bottom adds a nice smooth taste to the granola.
It is also a nice portable snack - I like to grab one on my way out of the house to eat in the …
Pam Cooking Spray
I like to cook at home and am always worried about the health and well being of my family. I don’t like to use a lot of oil when I fry items, and I try to avoid frying most of the time anyway. But there are certain …
Baker’s Joy: Baking Spray
I personally love to bake. I have for over a decade, and enjoy everything about. From the very preparation to the after math of indulging in it. Whether it be pastry of some one sort or something lasagna, casserole roll or anything else in that nature. Depending on what …
Terra Sweets & Carrots
Terra Sweets & Carrots are potato chips, although they certainly represent something very different from the typical potato chip. For one thing, these chips somehow manage to hold a full and compete serving of vegetables. Now I am skeptical, especially since potato chips in general are, well, a junk …
Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Snack Cakes Chocolate
I find these Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Snack Cakes Chocolate variety to be relatively enjoyable, especially after being put in the microwave for a few moments! The result is a warm and tasty treat that easily beats eating these cakes at room temperature or cold. These cakes consist …
Pumpkin Oreos
I’m like most people this time of year, jumping for joy for everything pumpkin flavored. I was entirely sure about Pumpkin Oreos though. I’m a huge Oreo fan and I feel like there is a fine line that can be crossed when trying to pull of a Pumpkin Oreo. …
Breyers Extremely Creamy Vanilla
Breyers Extremely Creamy Vanilla is really not all that bad, but I honestly have had much better vanilla ice cream before. While this variety offers what I consider to be a mildly pleasant vanilla flavor, it does not excite my taste buds in such a way that my eyes …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Snow Puffs
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Snow Puffs quite unfortunately suffer from the same problems that a majority of low fat or fat free products do: a considerable reduction in flavor and a significant increase in overall blandness. These soft snow puffs almost taste like nothing really as both the …
Simply Orange Juice by Tropicana
I drink orange juice more than any other beverage. I would say that I am a pretty good analyzer of whats good orange juice. I have tried virtually all of the orange juices sold at my neighborhood Frys store.
I noticed a new orange juice being offered at Frys about …
Colombina Snow Mint candy
I am not usually a fan of things that are mint flavoured, especially mint flavoured candy. That is why when my mother offered me a Colombina Snow Mint candy I nearly declined. However, because it did not look like one of the usual mint candies I was used to …
Treetop apple juice
Treetop apple juice is not very sweet but has a unique flavor anyway. I normally buy the one gallon bottle and it cost around three bucks. The cost is lesser than Langer’s apple juice. The bottle and packaging is well built. In fact I reuse the bottles of Treetop …
Jollibee Ice Cream Sundae in a Cone
As I have made a review of McDonald’s Ice cream sundae on a cone, I will also make a parallel review of the Jollibee’s similar sundae on a cone too.
Jollibee is a very popular franchise local in the Philippines. However, there is also a Jollibee in the US …
Great Value Pepperoni and Bacon Pizza Pillows
I know that Pizza Pops are horrible for me. But, they’re also delicious. Delicious and expensive. I usually buy them once every few months because I’m craving the pizza-y goodness that only they can deliver. This month, however, I was on a budget and I happened to be visiting …
Polland Fresh Chinese Lumpia
I am so full right now! I ate one (1) Polland Fresh Lumpia. I went down at the bus station near the Trinoma Mall here in Quezon City Manila, and they are the first to have the Polland branch in a mall that offers fresh lumpia. The price is …
Kitkat Chunky Chocolate Bar
The Kitkat is such a simple chocolate bar, so when it launched the Kitkat chunky, it was a another great product extension. Always seen as the light chocolate bar, but perhaps some people saw it as not filling enough or even perhaps not manly enough as it was often …
Taco Bell Crunchy Tacos
I’ve been eating Taco Bell Crunchy Tacos for years and years, and as time as gone by, my feelings about them have pretty much remained the same. When they’re good, they’re good, and when they’re off, it’s a big disappointment. Much of the problem occurs in the …
A1 Chicago Steakhouse Marinade
If you are looking for something a little bit new and different to marinade your steaks in then you should try A1 Chicago Steakhouse Marinade. When we decided to grill out the other night I decided to look for something different. We usually us a dry season and just …
Vanilla Coke
I like most of Coke products and I like vanilla, so when Vanilla Coke was announced I couldn’t wait to try it. I thought the taste was going to be divine. However, when I had bought my first little bottle, I was disappointed. I don’t think I ever bought …
Keebler Original Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
I had bought a pack of the “Keebler Original Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies” for my brother but was very delighted when he decided to share them with me since I have always found Keebler cookies to be delicious. Well, this particular one did not disappoint me at all, …
Hapi brand Hot Wasabi Peas
I happened upon these in the Asian food section of my local grocery store and was intrigued by the idea - dried peas covered in wasabi. Familiar with the taste of wasabi (a very hot horseradish spice), I wanted to find out why it was so popular on …
Bakery Fresh Peanut Butter Cookies
The weather is turning icy around here, so we went to the Dollar General to stock up on things that we might need if we can’t get out of the house for a few days. Of course these essentials included comfort/junk food. Peanut butter cookies is one of the …
Publix Brand Yogurt
I wouldn’t call myself a health guru, but I do like my fair share of yogurt. There was a time I was eating a variety of yogurts; I pretty much have cut a majority of them from my shopping list, and every since I realized I could get more …
San Mig Coffee Extra Strong
I love coffee and tea (but mostly coffee). When I have the time, I prepare it myself, brewing it as strong as I can. But I usually do not have the luxury of time, and so I have tried looking for instant coffee that is really strong. I stumbled …
Holland BakeryTikoy Roll
Holland bakery is just around the corner and I did not notice it until last week. I was driving around the block when I saw the Holland bakery and it is almost like a Chinese deli food store. I was so hungry then that I just wanted a quick …
Girl Scout Cookies - Thin Mint Flavor
Girl Scout cookies have to be the best cookies in the world, and I love thin mints. I always buy a box every time I see any girl scouts selling them. The only thing that I do not like about these cookies is the fact that they are only …
Fast Franks
Kids love hot dogs, well mine do anyway. I found a wonderful way for the kids to have hot dogs, without me having to stop what I am doing to boil or bake the weiners. While I was shopping at my local grocery store in the sandwich meat aisle, …
Tesco 6 large white pittas
Tesco 6 large white pitta bread is also one of my favorite all time afternoon snack or sometimes I usually have it as my breakfast. I particularly had it with a humus dip or any kinds of dip but personally I find humus as the perfect pair for …
Marks & Spencer’s Cappuccino Chocolate Sponge Roll
For the past years, Marks & Spencer has been coming up with cakes and pastries that just seem to lure you when you look at their displays. I finally decided to try out the Cappuccino Chocolate Sponge Roll. It cost Php215 per box.
It came in a sturdy, …
Betty Crocker Mac and Cheese: Original flavor
I’m what you would call a loyal user of the brand of Betty Crocker. Usually I go for the cake mixes and hamburger helper kits but this time around I had the opportunity to their brand of Mac and cheese. I found it interesting that they would have a …
President Emmental Slices
I have has sandwiches today made with President Emmental Slices and they have been delicious. I like all types of cheeses and Emmental has been nice to have for a change. Because of its mild and creamy taste I imagine children would like this. You get …
Mueller’s Elbow Macaroni
The Mueller’s brand has always been a must-have when it came to various pastas. I especially love their elbow macaroni because I’m always making macaroni and cheese for big Sunday dinners.
The Mueller’s elbow macaroni comes in two sizes: The regular box and the family size box. I usually buy …
Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts - Frosted Raspberry
I do not at all care for this flavor of pop-tarts for a couple of reasons. The raspberry flavor is just too gosh darn sweet - it tastes a lot more like super-sweet candy than it does natural fruit leading me to believe that this flavor has been artificially …
KettlePop
I frequent the Great Mall due to the size and options available in their many stores. My kids, Jonny and Sue, often accompany me and can be found playing around the kiddy fountain near Entrance One. One day, I stopped at Sportsters to buy my husband a …
Pepperidge Farm Texas Toast Parmesan
No other company that manufactures and sells Texas Toast in my area carries anything similar to this flavor of Texas Toast made by Pepperidge Farm. I tried this Texas Toast once and I was real impressed with the flavor of it. This Texas Toast has a parmesan topping that …
Captain D’s Seafood Scampi Platter
It’s to find a good seafood restaurant that offers fish and shrimp that hasn’t been battered and deep-fried. I’ve been to Red Lobster but some of the seafood dishes can be pretty pricey when your budget is a little tight. Captain D’s was having a sale on …
Nestle All Purpose Cream
Tiramisu. One of the greatest dessert that I could offer to my nephews and nieces. Even though I’m not a genius cook but for me the flavor of Tiramisu is really good will give you thist impression that someone professional baked it. That flavor will only be possible with …
Hostess Mini Muffins Banana Walnut
I do not care for these Hostess Mini Muffins Banana Walnut variety because the flavor that is supposed to be present just is not. At least, it is not represented too well in the actual mini muffin. Neither the banana nor the walnut flavor can be detected with relative …
Food Channel’s Shawarma
My cousin had a street food party yesterday and got a Food Channel cart to set up in her house. Food Channel sells one of the best shawarmas around and has several stalls around the metro. We used to hire the cart a lot for our parties, …
Kimball Chili Sauce
Kimball Chili Sauce is one of the best chili sauce brand ever. Whenever I go to the supermarket, I would make it a point to buy this brand of chili. I don’t really know how to describe the taste in details, but if you dip your finger food …
Entenmann’s Pineapple Pie
Craving some pastry, I had recently purchased Entenmann’s Pineapple Pie at our local Walmart. It was small, only 4.75 oz a one-person size. The pie came nicely packaged in a white box with a picture of a pineapple on it and a plastic window that allowed to see …
Oreo Cookie Club Package
Sometimes there really is an advantage to buying at a club store or some place where they sell big packages of items. I love Oreo cookies. The cheapest I can get these now is on sale for $2.50 for an 18 ounce package. However, those $2.50 …
Bico Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
I love ice cream! It is the perfect treat for many different occasions and then there is cheesecake. Who doesn’t like cheesecake? But when you hear of ice cream and cheesecake together in one…the best of both worlds…could this really be?! Well, yes it can be and it is!
I …
Tesco Value Roasted Salted Peanuts
I really like peanuts as a savoury snack, and have done for a number of years now. They’re less messy than eating a pastry product such as a sausage roll, they don’t melt as many sweet snacks (such as chocolate bars) do and they’re very convenient to carry around. …
Barilla Plus Farfalle Pasta
Barilla Plus Farfalle is a new kind of pasta. It is made with multiple kinds of whole grain flours, including typically semolina flour, oat, barley, and spelt flour. It also contains flaxseeds and lentil and chickpea flour, which I think makes it unique among most typically packaged pastas. These …
Helen Grace Assorted Chocolates
I have never heard of Helen Grace Chocolates until my aunt from the US brought me one when she came over for a vacation. It was a nice, brown, opulent-looking box with a nice ribbon, and it said the words Helen Grace. Actually, just from looking at it, I …
