For the past few decades major food companies have been coming up with the new calorie-free sugar substitutes. Thanks to them, now we are all familiar with such words as erythritol,maltodextrin, dextrose, saccharin, aspartame and Sucralose. However, certain studies have linked these long scary names to the development of cancerous …

Considering the popularity of energy drinks such as Red Bull, it should come as no surprise that Mountain Dew is jumping on the energy drink bandwagon. Their offering, Mountain Dew Energy, has this to their advantage: the price. While Red Bull and similar products are all over-priced, …

I was a little apprehensive about drinking the Almond chocolate drink. This particular beverage comes in a little juice-box looking contraption, complete with a straw that you punch into the box. Pacific Almond drink packages look pretty weird. And they seem to be …

The L’oven Fresh Lemon Loaf Cake is sold at ALDI Food Market stores for two dollars and eighty-nine cents. In one package comes ten slices. That seemed like a good price to me and the cake both looked and sounded good, so I went ahead and purchased a package. …

The Healthy Choice French Bread Pizza is a great, filling, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They taste fresh, and every time I have them for lunch someone at the office looks at my lunch, looks at their lunch, and sighs. It really is like those commercials lol. They always tell …

This is my trusted distilled water for my baby and there is no switching to other distilled water for me. The price of this distilled water is very fit on the budget. I use this water for my baby for his milk. There is no need …

I am a big Chinese and Japanese food fan I especially enjoy a good miso soup. That is why when I saw this at the grocery store I knew that I had to buy it. I paid a little over $2.00 for it which was not too bad and …

I have always been a fan of Canadian Maple Leaf meat products. I had never purchased one of their ready-to-go dinners, as I usually prefer to make a roast from scratch. Needing a quick meal for guests that were showing up in only one hour, I quickly purchased Maple …

They say that upon biting into just one, you can taste the rainbow. I can assure you, they are NOT telling a lie. Skittles are basically M&M’s that are fruity, I don’t think I need to explain what an M&M is.
I think these candies are so good, because you …

If u want to eat the burger with of a very fine quality for very lower price then one must buy the Aro burger buns. Because the quality and the softness of the Aro burger buns is very good and very tasty too. The only thing what …

One of the nice things about Ronzoni Bistro Rotini with Tomato and Basil is that I can heat up the pasta right in the bag. That is right - no need to dirty a dish for this pasta creation! Preparation could not possibly be easier - just stick in …

I went to the grocery store tonight. I was in the mood for something quick fast and in a hurry, but not something that I eat all of the time. I went into the freezer section and noticed a Barbecue chicken Hot pocket. I took it home to try. …

In one of the office dinners my husband’s boss hosted, this whisky was recommended as a personal favorite of a colleague. It was really a difficult name to remember, I decided to have him write the name down as I intended to buy it for my husband on Christmas …

During hot or summer season, almost all of us do crave for something cold. And the number one food when it comes to that is the ice creams. Magnolia has its own product of ice creams and popsicles. As for me, my favorite is none other that Twin popsies. …

Dole 100% Pineapple Orange Juice is one of our family’s favorite juices. It is a frozen concentrate - actually a blend of two concentrates, orange and pineapple - that comes in a 12 fl. oz. can and needs to be kept in the freezer until you are ready to …

For quite a few years now, the Oasis range of still fruit drinks has been one that I have looked out for in the summer especially. Carbonated drinks such as Coke or Sprite are all very well in their way, and I am quite fond of both of them, …

Breyers Peanut Butter Tracks Overload! is an ice cream that I think will appeal to a majority of people that can’t get enough of peanut butter. There’s quite a lot of peanut butter flavor to this ice cream and it’s delightfully delicious, I think. First of all, the ice …

By now many people have heard of Truvia, which is a sugar substitute that is made from stevia, a South American plant. I was drawn to this sweetener because I have a serious sweet tooth but I don’t like all of the calories and other issues that can come …

I recently attended a house party which got Verleo Catering to cater its food. The host was very excited about the food and we were all hyped up about it, as we had also heard some good reviews about Verleo. When we arrived, the tables and …

Beware! The Girl Scout cookies that were on order recently have arrived. My husband came home from church yesterday (I was sick and couldn’t go) and underneath each arm was a box of Girl Scout cookies. One of my students is in the second grade and …

Satisfaction of your sweet tooth may be easily done with a simple donut or two. There are a lot of donuts right now, Dunkin’ Donuts, Krispy kreme and their local counterparts the Mister Donut and Go Nuts Donut. They are all good, famous, even; but I am here to …

I had to grab something quick for lunch this morning and I ended up buying a can of Our Family Ravioli in Meat Sauce.
It was an OK lunch but it could have been better.
I like the Our Family label for price. But, to be honest, the savings wasn’t really …

So, a coffee pod company has teamed up with Baileys to produce a flavoured coffee pod that is compatible with Nespresso coffee machines. Nespresso compatible coffee pods with a hint of original Irish cream flavour sound delectable, but they are actually a little disappointing in my opinion. I made …

This is an entirely different kind of pretzel! It’s a pretzel with peanut butter on the inside. I never gave much thought to how pretzels and peanut butter would taste together. I was familiar with pretzels and cheese, but pretzels and peanut butter? I had to give them a …

I am a chocoholic and proud of it. Personally, I have to day Hershey’s is probably my favorite, but every once in awhile I like something a little more sophisticated and rich. I have tried regular Ghiradelli before and found their chocolate to be delicious, even though it is …

Sweetfire chicken is my one of the favorite dishes at Panda Express. I have never thought that pine apple and chicken would make such a wonderful combination. Panda Express has successfully blended the sweet tangy pine apple pieces into chicken and spices to make a juicy mouth watering dish.
As …

After purchasing many other Jimmy Dean products over the years, I recently tried Jimmy Dean Original Premium Bacon. Overall, it was pretty good.
The packaging definitely keeps in the natural juices of the bacon. The packaging is solid, but I do wish it was easier to open. …

I have always liked and enjoyed Cap’N Crunch Cereal. This has always been one of my favorites ever since I was a kid. I was feeling so good when I ate this cereal. Now Cap’N Crunch Cereal tastes pretty good but it does have this weird after taste. I …

I didn’t know “diet” food could taste so good! Lean Cuisine’s Chicken Ranch Club flat bread melts are really delicious! Their website describes it as “White meat chicken, tomato, bacon, cheddar and mozzarella cheese with a ranch sauce in a soft flatbread.” It’s part of their Casual Eating Classics …

Fit & Active Yellow Cling Sliced Peaches comes in a twenty-nine ounce can for one dollar and twenty-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. They’re cheaper than the canned peaches sold in larger retail stores, even when compared to the store brand canned peaches. One major difference is these …

This is a moderately satisfying Italian Side creation from Knorr, although it’s not my favorite. It’s a little on the mild side and thus not quite as flavorful as some of the other Italian and Pasta Sides that I’ve had. This Italian Side has a pretty creamy sauce that …

I just cooked myself up a bowl of Kraft Mac and Cheese. This is one of those foods that I just never get tired of. I’ve had this several times in a week before and I still enjoy it every time.
It’s perfect. It’s pretty easy …

Although I would not say that I am crazy about Mrs. Freshley’s Frosted Creme Cakes, I do purchase them from time to time. What I like about the creme cakes is that they have a thin, sweet icing glaze that surrounds the chocolate exterior. The glaze and the chocolate …

I have purchased several Tai Pei dinners in the past and, while not great, they usually have proven to be a filling meal when I don’t feel like spending a great deal of time cooking and don’t want to spend a ton of money.
So, when I recently discovered Tai …

Cheesecake is one of my favourite desserts, as long as it is a quality cheesecake, otherwise they can be a bit sickly. This Chocolate & Vanilla Cheesecake from Morrisons own brand is completely gorgeous for a shop-bought one. I usually only buy a two-slice packet but I …

This bottled water brand is one that I have only spotted at Aldi, a store that carries primarily generics and off brands. Not only does this water taste pretty much the same compared with other bottled waters, but it is also sold at a price that is generally thirty …

It’s breakfast time once again! And once again, I have an old favorite brand “returning to the ring” with a new flavor on toast– Cooper Farms Fig Preserves. But, how is it? Is it up to the spreadable snuff? As always, you guys know I’m going to find out!
In …

Alexander Keith’s India Pale Ale, or “Keith’s” as it is affectionatly referred to as here in Canada is a fantastic beer and one of my favorites. It was created by none other then Alexander Keith and is from the east coast Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Brewmasters have been …

I don’t particularly care for mangos, but oddly enough, I do care for this mango sorbet. I guess it has to do with the sorbet being at a frosty temperature and the texture of the treat being really similar to sherbet and Italian Ice. The flavor of a mango …

When it comes to lasagna and spaghetti, I think the best bread is anything with garlic flavor. For me, it somehow enhances the flavor of the tomato sauce. I’ve tried all types of garlic bread and rolls, but I wanted to give the Pillsbury garlic butter crescent a chance …

These little snack sized pouch trail mixes are great for when you are on the go or just for a quick snack. I eat these just about everywhere, from sporting events to re-energize, lunchs, to after school snacks, I have these just about anywhere. Everything in the trailmix tastes …

I don’t like Cedevita teas because they aren’t very strong. I mean, you have to put 2 bags 2-3dl cup if you want to feel the taste.
I like mandarin a lot and I like peach too so when I saw this tea in the store I decided to buy …

I can’t tell the difference really between this roasted garlic toast and garlic Texas Toast. Both are basically the same size and the same shape. Both have a garlic flavor to them, and neither really excels above the other in garlic flavor. The roasted garlic toast does seem to …

My wife and I decided to have salad last night to go with our dinner. Since we already used up the lettuce that came from our garden, I ran to the grocery store up the street to pick up a bagged salad.
I originally intended on buying our normal brand. …

I’m old enough to remember when Pringles first came out on the market; or at least became popular enough where people actually heard of them.
And, throughout the years, the chips have made some interesting claims ranging from being whole chips because they are in a can and not in …

This is the lemon juice that comes in the little lemon shaped containers. There is also lime juice concentrate which comes in green lime shaped containers.
I buy this in the large 945ml containers, 3 at a time. You can get them in a pack. Obviously, we …

I like the Quality street chocolates Assortment pack by Nestle and my children just crazy about the quality street. The good thing about the whole pack is there are verities of chocolate in a single assortment pack. The pack can be a very good gift on all occasions. The …

Even though I’ve seen a recent spike in popularity for the Dannon frusion smoothies, they’ve been around for some time. I didn’t really start drinking them until my grandma started buying them for me, which originally were purchased solely for herself but she found that she didn’t like them …

This is one of the most delicious frozen pizzas available. I have tried several brands of frozen pizza and found most to taste like cardboard; flat and flavorless. Palermo’s, however, has lots of tangy flavor without being spicy. Their flavor comes from the generous amount of toppings, not spice. …

I have loved Banquet Chicken Pot Pies since I was a child — at least 45 years I would say. If you have never eaten a Banquet Pot Pie, it is small, just a few inches across, and frozen so it is convenient …
