Dairy queen ice cream cakes
Sunday we had my son’s birthday party with a lot of family and friends. My son is not very fond of cake, but he loves ice cream so every year he gets his cakes from Dairy Queen. He prefers the Reese Peanut Butter Cup cake.
So Saturday morning I …
Complan
Complan is another health drink, which is also good in quality and in standard. It is said that the complan is the complete planned food. If your kids skip their meals very often then the parents do not need to worry a lot if they are feeding …
Ritz Toasted Chips
I recently acquired a coupon for the new toasted chips by Ritz and thought I would give them a try. The chips are essentially very thin crackers that have been toasted and then put in a bag. They are very tasty and are not as fattening as other chip …
Bake and Churn (Robinsons Metro East)
This is not actually a restaurant, it is just a small stall or cart but their products are surprisingly delicious. So what I’m going to review now is their ice cream cakes that I love. (And it will be also your must add this to your “must try” list.)
Bake …
Bird’s Eye Voila: Beef Lo Mein
Bird’s Eye Voila beef lo mein is another quick dinner I wanted to give a try because whenever I’m in the mall, my first thought is: Where is the Chinese food? I always order the chicken, rice, and vegetables; I’ve never given beef lo mein a try until I …
Cattlemen’s Ranch Roasted Sweet Onion Black Angus Beef Patties
Cattlemen’s Ranch Roasted Sweet Onion Black Angus Beef Patties are mouth-watering! When I want one, I cook it in the oven, no need to defrost, and out comes a delicious tasting burger that’s filling and flavorful! The burgers are bigger and thicker than quarter-pound burgers and six come in …
Tang
The first time I heard about the instant drink “Tang” was quite a few years ago in the nineteen nineties. I can remember that at the time the colour of the packet it came in was black and green and the only flavour which I knew they had was …
Tostitos Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips
I love eating corn chips for snacks and very recently I have had the chance to really appreciate the mix of a nice, chunky dip with some good old fashion tortilla chips. Since I have recently indulged in Tostitos Creamy Spinach Dip, I also enjoyed the taste of having …
PurAqua Frut Flavored Water Variety Pack
I found this flavored water from PurAqua, and yes, it’s spelled “frut” as opposed to “fruit” on the packaging for some odd reason, to be more refreshing than flavorful. Naturally, it’s going to be refreshing because it’s water, and when it’s enjoyed good and cold, it’s a refreshing, thirst-quencher. …
Smart Ones Breakfast Sandwiches
Smart Ones has been providing low-calorie diet entrees and desserts for years. However, I just recently discovered their Breakfast Sandwiches and fell in love with the great taste and low calorie count. They have several breakfast offerings including: Egg, Cheese, and Canadian Bacon on an English muffin or egg …
Durian: The Fruit of the Gods
Durian is an exotic fruit grown mostly in Asia, mostly in Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines. Here in my country the Philippines, durian is grown mostly in the Southern part of the country, largely in Davao, although the surrounding towns have also successfully grown this only in the past …
Taco Bell Mango Fruiteeze
Taco Bell has recently started selling something called the mango and strawberry fruit swirl. The one in my local area just got them in, but I think they may have been in other areas before. They are a little expensive, which I didn’t like that much because I think …
Bhelpuri
Garden is the name of a company which produces the new kind of salty snacks which are ready to eat and very fresh. The quality, purity, taste and even the quantity of the snacks produced by the company Garden are very good to eat. The packing of …
Breyers Cherry Vanilla
Breyers Cherry Vanilla is both a pleasurable experience and a disappointing experience. By that, I mean one flavor real excels and tastes delicious while the other flavor really comes up short and leaves my taste buds wondering just what happened. Had both flavors been exceptionally good, this ice cream …
Savoritz Saltine Crackers
We ran out of saltine crackers last night and needed them for something I was making. So, I ended up running over to Aldi (since it was nearby at the time) and picking up a box from the brand Savoritz.
I wasn’t expecting much from this brand; mostly because I’m …
Cinnamon Basil
I have been growing Cinnamon Basil for about a year now. It is wonderful, wonderful stuff. It grows readily from seed, and once it gets going, it is hard to stop. Plants will begin to flower within about a month and a half or so, and the purple flower …
Asda Peanut Butter Crunch Cones
Asda own brand products are generally very good both for price and quality, and these ice cream cones are no exception. Presented in a box of four cones, the cost is a tiny £1.
The ice creams are very similar to a ‘Cornetto’ cornet in that the cone is …
Quickchow Bihon Guisado
To quench thirst, I only have to open the refrigerator and concoct my favorite iced tea; but when hunger couldn’t wait anymore, I would hastily prepare a sandwich or cook an instant noodle. Last weekend, I tried Quickchow Bihon Guisado, a type of instant noodle, for my breakfast at …
Savoritz 4 Kids Penguin Baked Cheddar Snack Crackers
You don’t have to be a kid to be able to enjoy the Savoritz 4 Kids Penguin Baked Cheddar Snack Crackers! Available at ALDI Food Market stores for a retail price of two dollars and ninety-nine cents for a package containing nine one ounce pouches, the cheddar snacks are …
Healthy food-Fit & Active Dried Fruit Mix
I tend to go for ‘healthy’ foods that I think will be good for me based on the packaging. However, it always helps to look at the package carefully and make sure that it is not just saying it is healthy. Aldi food stores offers a line …
Equality Liquid Honey
Equality Liquid Honey
I couldn’t figure out if the honey was real since it does not specify it on the bottle. Well, actually it does say that it is pure honey, but I don’t know if to believe them. And there are two kinds of homey anyway, one from …
Labatt’s Honey Lager
I’m not that big of a Labatt’s fan. Generally my beer of choice would be Corona, if I’m gonna drink anything. However, I have to admit that Labatt’s Honey Lager is a delicious beer. And with their no-name competition (Lakeport Honey Lager) being so cheap, it …
KitchenAid Box Grate
I use grater a lot; being devoted fan of Italian kitchen I always need some grated cheese and what can be best than freshly grated Parmigiano? I would never buy pre-grated cheese - this is a sin! Since the purchase of KitchenAid Box Grate, I use it with vegetable …
Wibisco Shirley Ginger Biscuits
I recently started liking Shirley Biscuits even though I had not liked the taste of them and therefore had not eaten them for years. These “Shirley Biscuits” are little rectangular tea biscuits with a cute little design of a cottage in the middle of them. The original Shirley tea …
Champagne Truffle Hershey Kisses
I’ve been following the Hershey Kisses lineup for awhile now because they keep releasing different varieties. I love the original Hershey Kisses because they provide that little dose of chocolate that I sometimes need to get me through the day and they aren’t full of calories if you limit …
Bella Italia Extra Virgin Olive Oil
My mother was initially supposed to use the “Bella Italia Extra Virgin Olive Oil” as part of some organic cleanse she was going to do that was recommended to her by her nutritionist, but instead we ended up using it in our cooking several times when we had run …
Del Monte Tomato Catsup
Never we miss having a sauce or a dip in our meal preparation. Fried chicken, lumpiang shanghai, fried fish, fried tofu…these foods can never be so tasteful without dipping it in a sauce. If not vinegar sauce and soy sauce, definitely the next best alternative is a tomato catsup. …
Best Choice Instant Oatmeal in Maple and Brown Sugar Flavor
Our family is trying extremely hard to cut our grocery budget by sampling inexpensive versions of the usual name brand products that we buy. One of my children’s favorite breakfast items is oatmeal, particularly flavored instant oatmeal. We usually buy expensive versions like Quaker’s. However, I …
Starbuck’s Reduced Fat Egg White and Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich
Now as an admitted Starbuck’s fan for 10+ years and also a near-constant dieter, I’m always on the lookout for new low-fat food offerings carried at any Starbucks. Most recently, I tried Starbuck’s Reduced Fat Egg White and Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich. This breakfast option is basically …
Fresca Sparkling Flavored Soda
At the grocery store the other day me and my mom were shopping while I stumbled upon a 12 pack of soda that caught my eye. It was made by the people of Coke and it was called Fresca. We grabbed that along with a few diet cokes …
Pop Weaver Popcorn
We finally finished up the box of Pop Weaver microwaveable popcorn we bought a couple weeks ago. I’m glad. This will be the last time I buy this brand.
We love popcorn in our house and eat it a couple times each week. But, when it comes to this brand, …
Healthy Ones Cooked Ham
A while back, I decided to give Healthy Ones Cooked Ham a try. The package says it’s 97% fat free and it boasts the symbol of the American Heart Association. I’m not a dieter, though I should be, and I’m very finicky about what foods I eat. …
Eggo Buttermilk Waffles
We eat a lot of on the go meals at our house, and one of my favorite things to make the family for breakfast is Eggo waffles. The nice thing about them is that they are really inexpensive, which is really important for me when I am on a …
Checkers’ Big Buford
Of all the burgers I’ve had at Checkers, my favorite would definitely have to be the Big Buford. There’s something about the double-stacked burger that makes my mouth water, and I think it definitely has something to do with that famous Checkers’ seasoning.
The Big Buford is a double burger …
Trader Joe’s Handcrafted Cheese Enchiladas
I really wanted to like these cheese enchiladas. They looked so yummy and I generally really like frozen Mexican food. Unfortunately, I really wasn’t that impressed with them.
This nearly 10 ounce package provides two cheese enchiladas in a microwaveable container. However, the microwaving instructions were confusing. They tell you …
Cascadian Farm Sweet and Salty Peanut Pretzel Chewy Granola bars
Cascadian Farm is one of those brands that offers organic foods. I’ve come to discover them in recent years when going to stores like whole food and changing up my eating patterns. They are a bit pricy but well worth every penny. I had an opportunity to …
Cape Cod Original Flavor Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
Potato chips are one of my favorite snack foods, and Cape Cod Kettle Cooked Potato Chips are one of my favorite brands. These Cape Cod Original Flavor kettle cooked potato chips are potato chips the way they are supposed to be.
They are tasty, hearty potato chips with lots …
Sparkling wine of Cava Jaume Serra
So, here is the story of how I came to know an interesting sparkling wine of Cava Jaume Serra. We decided to hang out with my old friend. I’ll tell you right away I am a fan of sparkling wines, and I prefer rose one’s most of all. But …
Simple Pleasures Baked Cookie Bars
I am on the go a lot, and find it difficult to keep up my protein and fibre levels, so I bought Simple Pleasures Baked Cookie Bars in a package of 6 bars, for $3.99CDN at my local supermarket. I had bought Simple Pleasures cookies before, but never …
Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich
Now here is a simple yet scrumptious sandwich that I love to order at Chick-fil-A. The Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich is a very simple sandwich, yet the flavor it offers and its size are two factors that make this simple sandwich a winner in my eyes and stomach! This chicken …
Century Tuna Hot and Spicy
I just love this Century Tuna Hot and Spicy. It is very healthy and its good in the heart. Everybody in the family love this. We are not only using this as partner in our rice during meal time. We also ate this to make tuna sandwich. Before …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Vanilla
Quite surprisingly, I never had an easy time tracking down this elusive fourth variety of ice cream. Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Vanilla is, for whatever reason, harder to find in stock than the other three varieties. I cannot understand why, either. I tried it, and there is nothing …
The Snack Factory - Chipotle Cheddar Pretzel Crisps
The Snack Factory - Chipotle Cheddar Pretzel Crisps are alright, although I do not think that I will purchase them a second time. While I do like cheddar cheese, cheddar is not in my top five favorite cheeses. With all the other great flavors available for these pretzel chips, …
JACQUOT Chocolate Truffles
Not being a particularly avid chocolate consumer I only discovered these venerable French bonbons (the factory, while backed by big capital now, has been in operation since 1922) only two years ago, while shopping for my aunt who IS a chocolate addict.
I’ll admit the first thing that made my notice …
L’oven Fresh Center Split White Deli Rolls
The L’oven Fresh Center Split White Deli Rolls can be purchased from ALDI Food Market stores. In one package comes six deli rolls for one dollar and forty-nine cents. I have purchased these deli rolls a handful of times now and I’ve been as pleased with them as a …
Hershey’s Kisses Cherry Cordial Crème
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 …
The Nescafe Classic Coffee
I am a coffee lover and I am so curious with the coffee but there is a coffee that will reminds me a good taste and it is Nescafe Classic Cofee.
The Nescafe Classic Coffee is one of the coffees that I want to drink when it is cold or …
Brownberry Country White Bread
My wife did some grocery shopping yesterday and, since I told her to pick up some lunch meat while she was at the store, she also picked up a couple loaves of bread.
Normally, we have a few brands we choose from when shopping for bread. But, the store apparently …
