Recently, 7-11 announced a new Slurpee flavor, and being the addict that I am, I had to check it out. The concept is that the icy treat itself is purple but the flavor is that of vanilla — or more specifically vanilla creme. My review of the …

Normally, I’m a soda drinker. In fact, my family tells me I drink too much soda.
However, whenever I get sick, I crave something different; lemonade.
I started buying Minute Maid Lemonade 12 packs simply for the convenience. I don�t need to mix anything. Even though it’s not real lemonade, it …

I purchased the Bake N’ Shake as another seasoning to use on my wings and pork chops. I wanted to cut off some time with choosing various seasonings to blend together to add to my meats, so I wanted to get seasoning in a box that was already prepared …

Like Granola? Have you tasted the Quaker 100% Natural Granola, that cames with Oats, honey and Raisins? It’s delicious! I like granola, specially that ones with nuts. But when I tasted the Quaker 100% Natural Granola, I liked very, very much. It is very well balanced, so that you …

I really love this eating any food from Bachelor’s brand especially my all time favorite which is the pasta and cheese flavor which I usually get whenever I go to the supermarket. I typically get 10 packs of it whenever it is on sale and honestly I don’t …

I discovered the D Gourmet chocolate frosting only recently, and I was so glad I did. Before this, I thought I had to make chocolate glaze from scratch in order to make my own chocolate ring donuts. Not anymore!
I’m such a great lover of donuts, particularly those with …

Like most kids did, I was able to try the popular cereal when I was a kid. I really liked the taste and have eaten it several times since then. However, I have always found it to be very difficult to eat. This was because after …

I always thought that Edy’s ice creams were good. When I saw that they had frozen yogurt, I was curious about these products. I ended up trying their vanilla flavor. I love frozen yogurt but I personally rarely see it in grocery stores, so I don’t often have access …

I’m beginning to feel like my mother. I used to always get on her case because she’d go shopping and come home with the wrong thing, not intentionally but because she’d reach for one thing and end up pulling something else off the shelf. I guess it’s …

Morning Star Farms Meal Starters Chik’N Strips are fabulous! Yes, I know it’s not real chicken but you won’t even be able to tell, honest. At first, I thought a chicken substitute couldn’t possibly be any good but I have changed my mind.
I buy an eight ounce …

Trying out a treat I bought did not exactly satisfy my sweet tooth. It kind of left me feeling more depressed and deprived. I know I should expect the least from the amount I bought; but I am still expected it not to be that bad. I tried the …

Breyers Chocolate Chip is one that I found to be disappointing. The reason I found it to be disappointing is because there really was not a whole lot of chocolate chips decorating the vanilla ice cream. I was hoping that the ice cream would be loaded with rich chocolate …

I enjoy frozen yogurt in the morning, and every time I go to the grocery store I pick up some. Normally, I get Dannon. However, when I went to the store last week La Yogurt was on sale for only fifty cents. This is pretty cheap for yogurt and …

I must admit that 12 months I’ve tasted so many different cappuccino beverages because I started disliking coffee so I take one just in the morning and if I need or want coffee during the day I prefer making myself a cappuccino rather than making a coffee.
Pascia cappuccino looks very …

I gave this new kind of snack a try one day, when my sister urged me to try it. She told me they were the off brand version of Cheetos, which ultimately caused me to laugh. In my experience anything that isn’t the actual original Cheetos are either too …

I don’t like most donuts made out here, and one of these brand of donuts are Pastry Castle donuts. I usually see people selling a box of Pastry Castle donuts that contains 8 different donuts. I can’t exactly remember all of the flavours of donuts that are usually in …

My husband recently had a little adventure with the Schwans Ice cream truck. He brought home a box of Schwans Ice Cream Sandwiches- Vanilla flavored, 24 pack. They are so far the best Ice Cream Sandwiches I have eaten. The chocolate cookie bars are nice and …

I love naan bread with Indian food. Indian dishes are often very saucy, and these are great for scooping up every last bit of the sauce. At the restaurants, the texture is soft slightly chewy and airy almost like a warm, oily version of white pita bread. Garlic naan …

I love making pasta salad in the summer time along with my own ranch and Caesar dressings. However, I find myself going through a lot of mayonnaise often, which is why I always purchase my store brand mayonnaise, which is My Essentials Real Mayonnaise. The mayonnaise comes in a …

I know that we all just love McDonald’s, but I think that it is really great that they have a summer promotion going on now where you can get any size soda or sweet tea for just a $1.00. It is super inexpensive, and I am sure it drives …

I do not really enjoy drinking softdrinks or sodas as much as others may have. I’d say I do drink once in a while when I am out on a dinner or lunch with friends. But most of the time I would still be caught drinking iced teas or …

This is a decent but somewhat bland cereal that I had once, but I likely will not purchase again due to the ingredients that are in this cereal. It has a number of different kinds of oats and the cereal is lightly flavored with what tastes like honey and …

Honey Bunches of Oats by Post is another fine cereal that is produced and distributed under the Post name. In my opinion this a wonderful breakfast cereal. I’ve been eating Honey Bunches of Oats for probably 15 to 20 years now and have enjoyed it thoroughly. Honey …

This is the new product from tango. Tango is the wellknown wafer brand from ‘Orang Tua’ the big food factory. I just eat Tango waffle with real cheese flavor today, I got from my mother. First time I didn’t read the brand, I think it’s just an ordinary wafers, …

My entire family has been striving to save money in every aspect of our lives. We have found one of the easiest areas we have been able to save money is on our grocery bill. Although my children were quite reluctant to change soda brands from their …

I just love the rich cherry smell of these Hershey’s Kisses! As soon as I take a few out of the bag I can smell their sweet scent in the air around me. I love cherries and chocolate covered cherries, but sometimes chocolate covered cherries can be a bit …

I have tried several other name brands of powered cocoa when making recipes that call for it. Each time, I come back to using Hershey’s Cocoa because of the rich flavor it has. Hershey’s has mastered powered cocoa. With the several other brands I have used, I have not …

My wife decided to pick up dinner last night and I was a bit surprised when I got home and found she picked up a lasagna from the brand Great Value.
We have had this brand in the past but, when she got it, I wasn’t really sure if I …

I’ve been wanting to try Idahoan Four Cheese Mashed Potatoes for a very long time, but only just recently decided to give it a go. As my readers know, convenience is my driving goal with foods, from preparation to cooking and through cleanup. I judge just about …

Some people are really picky with their food and the slightest of things can put them off, so telling people that I enjoy Heinz Oxtail soup often makes people cringe. From the outside it looks quite intriguing, almost like a thick gravy sauce with small bits of meat inside. …

Dreyer’s slow churned rich and creamy French vanilla ice cream is one of my usual favorite choices when buying ice cream. The French Vanilla taste is authentic and very rich from Dreyer’s. Even though it is written slow churned, there is no much difference from usual Dreyer’s ice cream. …

Several weeks ago, I found a new company offering ready to pour cocktails with reduced sugar, carbs and calories called Lulu B Cocktails. They were displayed right next to my usual Skinnygirl Cocktails brand but the Lulu B Cocktails actually had signs from the liquor store owners promising that …

I found myself wandering the snack aisle at Wal-Marts yesterday and marveled at all the new choices of snack cakes and treats. Since I often pack a few items in my son’s backpack and he always ignores anything I consider healthy, I figured I budge a little …

Hillshire Farms keeps coming out with new varieties for their Deli Select product line, and so far, they’ve all had something special and tasty to offer. The latest one I’ve tried is Hillshire Farm Deli Select Ultra Thin Mesquite Smoked Turkey Breast. Turkey is probably my favorite …

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups are awesome treats to enjoy. What a great idea it was to combine chocolate and peanut butter into this yummy little snack cups. The commercials used to promote them early on were great, too. Back then, someone would be walking with chocolate …

I do a lot of works throughout the day, and for that I loss a good amount of energy, and for that I take a good energy booster named “Glucon-D”. It works for me like a charm. Every time I am feeling lack of energy, I drink a glass …

It’s almost Christmas time here folks. You know how I can tell? Oh yeah, you do start to see all the decorations for the season going up in stores, and the relentless Black Friday ads begin blaring on TV and radio, sure that’s a given. But there’s another way …

I do not normally go for instant foods because it is not healthy. It is good to have them though because when you are caught in the middle of a very hectic schedule, you can have this as your quick remedy for hunger. But this is not a great alternative …

I must say, compared to the double chocolate and Oreo varieties, this Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Peanut Butter Cup really turned out to be quite the disappointment, even more so than the no-bake cheesecake varieties. The reason I found this product to be disappointing is because there was …

When I was younger I adored chocolate with nuts but later I just stopped liking it. I don’t know why. Than about 2 months ago I rediscovered it. This my rediscovery didn’t happen with Lindt Milk and nuts chocolate but with some other one from another brand but once …

Baking soda is one of those ‘must have’ items to keep in stock in your home. This is one of those little miracle products that has so many uses! Baking soda’s active ingredient is sodium bicarbonate which is an antacid. My husband suffers from acid reflux, and he uses …

My kids like to go grocery shopping with me. I think a big part of this is that occasionally I let them sneak something into the cart that we normally wouldn’t buy. I think another big part of it is that they like to grocery shop with me in …

Recently I tried this amazing and easy to follow recipe for oatmeal (Crème Brulee Oatmeal from Crockpot Favorite Slow Cooker Recipes), that has no doubt changed the way that I will eat oatmeal. Now, this recipe is for the crock pot, but it can easily be cooked as well …

French Fries at the Jack in the Box are the worst I have ever had. When I had it first at a Los Angeles Jack in the Box location, I thought it is only about that store. But when I had it in other locations I confirmed that the …

Hershey’s - Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels are mildly tasty, although really, they are no better than the Flipz Milk Chocolated Covered Pretzels or the Nabisco brand, but they also are no worse. Just like the other brands, these pretzels are covered in a mildly present milk chocolate layer that …

This is a first Croatian ketchup that I really like, most of them were just too sweet or didn’t even look nor tasted like ketchup but this one really does. It comes in a plastic red bottle with a flat cap so that you can turn it upside down …

I started a low carb diet a few weeks ago and finding things that I can drink has been a real challenge. While water makes up most of my liquid intake, sometimes I just need something with a little taste. I have never been a fan of diet soda, …

Breyers Homemade Vanilla is about the only vanilla ice cream made by Breyers that I truly enjoy. The reason I truly enjoy it is simple: it offers a rich and deep vanilla flavor that I expect from good, quality vanilla ice cream. Other Breyers vanilla ice cream fail to …
