I brought myself a bottle of Fuze Peach Mango when my neighborhood Albertson was running a sale for $2 for 3. I am no stranger to the brand Fuze, so I was not hesitant to try this particular flavor. From the time I was a little girl and …

When it comes to smokes, I am a fairly loyal Camel man. Camel makes the finest smokes in the world as far as I am concerned. However, for one reason or another I do turn to another brand, and when I have to it is usually Marlboro. …

This sugar free, deep chocolate, cream filled cupcake is called a Wannabe because of its resemblance to a Hostess Cupcake, but the resemblance is only superficial.
A package of Hostess Cupcakes has two cakes in it, actual weight about 4 ozs. I would always eat them both, doesn’t everyone? …

I must say that I was expecting much more of this chocolate. When you read Swiss on the chocolate wrapping you immediately know you are going to have a treat, especially if the wrapping itself looks very expensive too. Bio is a synonym for health in my head so …

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 never used Fleischmann’s rapid rise instant yeast until I purchased a bread kit that contained it, and even then I was nervous to handle the yeast. In the kitchen, yeast is my kryptonite because I never actually learned how to properly use it. I know you are to use …

I find the Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies to be relatively decent. The brownies themselves offer a fairly decent chocolate flavor. They have chocolate icing and chocolate cake, and both offer a mild, but nonetheless enjoyable, chocolate taste. On top, are chocolate candies that come in a variety of vibrant …

I haven’t been a big fan of McDonald’s for many years. It’s not really because of the chain itself, but of a local owner of two nearby McDonald’s and who in my opinion had some unfair business practices. I guess you could say I’ve had a private …

Back in the day, it was Bon Bons that reigned supreme in the ice cream bites department. Today Bon Bons has competition from Dreyer’s (also known as Edy’s) Dibs. Dibs come in three different varieties at the moment as well as different sizes. The variety I …
