I am not a cigar smoker who has the —˜packet habit’. That term may not mean anything to you, but it’s a symptom of cigarette smokers’ behaviour. They have that little packet out of their pocket with great regularity and out comes another coffin nail. Cigar smokers tend to …

I know I have reviewed the McDonalds on the North side of Beaver Dam in the past. But, I have been pretty critical of that restaurant before too and, now that I actually had a good experience there, felt it was only fair to take a few minutes to …

I am not a great cook so when it comes to deciding what to have for dinner after a long day at work, my favorite thing to do is to stop at a restaurant and bring dinner home in a bag. However, I’ve …

When it’s raining outside, there is nothing better than a good pot of stew. It was raining cats and dogs last time I had visited my mother and she had taken out my favorite brisket in the world: Murphy and David corned beef brisket. There is something about that …

I am like so many other people who are now drinking and eating soy based products because they are lactose intolerant or, at the very least, have developed an intolerance to dairy products. When I finally determined, through trial and error, that I was going to have to give up …

I absolutly love coffee, and i also really enjoy drinking. this great new liquor brings those two things together, with the starbucks coffee liquor. The liquor tastes similar to espresso, although its a little sweeter, so it almost has a little bit of a khalua feel to it. …

BARILLA, the Italian pasta maker, is probably the most popular among the “big” commercial pasta producers. Some of its success may be attributed to the variety and the sheer ubiquity of their many products. But they wouldn’t be as popular as they are if they weren’t simply good - surely …

I don’t use any other coffee creamer but only Nestle Coffee-mate. It’s a really a perfect partner for my coffee every morning. It makes my coffee taste good and creamy. I have tried using milk several times on my coffee, but I am not really satisfied …

This is another product that I found in the Tony’s Chippy range. Not sure if this is a new range that has come out, but I have only started seeing these products recently in my local Supermarket. Lets hope that there is more products that come out from this …

Since I just ate at Charlie’s Grind and Grill the other day, yesterday I had another urge to eat their famous Angus beef burger. What I like about their restaurant is that they have something that I have not seen in other burger joints. They have a Shrooms patty. …

The Monster energy drink brand is steadily making itself one of the most popular energy drink choices in the USA, and I can understand that. The fact is, they sell good product, and they sell it well. Their marketing strategy basically boils down to “You need something to wake …

These mini muffins were okay, although they didn’t really satisfy me to the point where I wanted to rush out and purchase another package once they were all gone. There’s nothing really wrong with these mini muffins, they’re just pretty average, maybe slightly above average. Perhaps the best quality …

Product Description: Frozen dinner from the Swanson Hungry Man line. Dinner consists of two boneless pork ribs in sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans and a brownie. I bought it last night for about $4.
What I liked about this product: One of the biggest reasons why I like Hungry Man …

Each Eggo Bake Shop Chocolate Chip Mini Muffin Tops box contains a total of four sets of connected mini muffin tops. Four mini muffin tops are connected to one another, so a total of sixteen mini muffin tops come in a box. One box sells for two dollars and …

Stagg, I’d like to note in passing, has started putting their chili out in a cardboard Smart Pak, which is probably cheaper than cans and easier to open too - but you do need scissors or a knife.
The County Brand is decently flavorful, and seems to use good meat …

My local store is carrying more local produce than ever before. They are supporting the farmers and growers in the Northern California region, and that’s a great thing to see. I’m really not that big of a fruit and vegetable eater, but one food that I have …

Recently at the grocery store I decided to explore some new products to enhance my salads and one of the products I tried is Marie Callender’s Classic Seasoned Gourmet Croutons. The product comes in a very colorful and delightful five ounce bag. It really is solid packaging, …

These tortilla chips proved to be a disappointment because they are supposed to be ranch flavored, but I tasted very little ranch on the tortilla chips. I could have almost mistaken the tortilla chips for being plain had the bag not had the word “ranch” on the front. I …

I knew I might not like this frozen stuffed sandwich because of it being “lean”, but I was willing to give it a try for a dollar seventy-eight. Unfortunately, my concerns turned out to be justified as this stuffed sandwich just came across as being pretty bland to me …

My wife decided she wanted to make spaghetti last night and, because we didn’t have half the ingredients we needed, I found myself running up to Walgreens shortly after getting home from work.
While there, I thought an appetizer would be a smart buy (I was starving at the time) …

The El Monterey Beef & Bean Red Chili Burritos suffer from the same problem that plagues the El Monterey Beef & Bean Green Chili Burritos. Just as the latter lacks a sufficient number of green chili pieces to set the burritos apart from the El Monterey Beef & Bean …

Cold Stone Creamery in my opinion beats Baskin Robbins or any store-bought variety of ice cream any day. I first discovered it six years ago when I heard people at my camp talking about it. When there was an outing to go see …

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 …

I did a study abroad in France and while I was there discovered nutella. Nutella is a hazelnut spread with chocolate similar to peanut butter. I used to love to put nutella on absolutely everything. It is particularly designed to go on toast, and crackers and pretzels. If you …

I picked up Cadbury’s Milk Chocolate Filled with Soft English Toffee at the store yesterday because it was on sale. I really like Heath Bars, and was hoping that the consistency would be a softer version of a Heath Bar.
Cadbury’s Milk Chocolate Filled with Soft English Toffee is …

Product Description: Two pound bag of frozen broccoli bought at my local Piggly Wiggly store last night for $2.
What I liked about this product: Well, I loved the price. My wife sent me to the store specifically for broccoli because she was working on a recipe and didn’t realize …

My family loves to eat pancakes. We usually get a box or two during our grocery run for breakfast or sometimes as a snack. Most pancakes (or hotcakes as we call it here) are made from white flour. There have been a lot of studies that show that it …

When I hear the words Capri-suns I know I am going enjoy a nice refreshing drink. Who doesn’t enjoy the convent little pouches (well besides my husband who still can’t figure out how to put a straw in without poking a hole on the other side). They are light …

I personally prefer these Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Snack Cakes Vanilla variety to the chocolate variety because I find the vanilla flavor to be rich and more delicious. I really enjoy, so I suppose that should not come as a surprise. I like that these cakes have a …

The Del Monte Fruit Chillers product line is a favorite of mine during the summer time. When summer arrives at my front doorstep, I start buying Del Monte Fruit Chillers because ice cold frozen fruit treats really taste unbelievably good and refreshing on a steaming summer day. Take this …

The other special dessert that made a special appearance on our holiday table this year was the Mango Bravo from Conti’s Pastry Shop and Restaurant. Although this made it to the list of 25 best desserts in the country published by a major daily, its inclusion was not the …

I’m generally not an M&M candies kind of person but I enjoy it from time to time. When I saw that they had gotten fancy with their candies, my guess is to compete with the gourmet chocolates, I have to say I was curious. The way the M&Ms looked …

If you are looking for a change from your ordinary soda, try pepsi vanilla. Pepsi Vanilla tastes like reular pepsi with a vanilla twist. Just like the vanilla soda you would purchase at the soda fountain, pepsi vanilla has a great vanilla taste. An excelllent vanilla cola in …

Having grown up as a life saver junkie, I tended to stay away from most other similar products and hard candies. Recently, though, I was given Brach’s Butterscotch Hard Candy and I sure did enjoy it.
Butterscotch, cinnamon, and peppermint are probably my two favorite flavors for life savers …

The Old London Bagel Garlic and Herb Chips are a pretty tasty snack chip that is both filling and flavorful at the same time, and one really cannot ask for much more from a snack item - at least, I cannot. Since these bagel chips are essentially bread, the …

My all time favorite creamy yogurt to eat for a healthy snack or breakfast is the Yoplait Creamy Harvest Peach Yogurt. It is almost fat free and has a real yummy creamy peach flavor to it that taste like you are eating a delicious dessert. I not only love …

This cream liquour is made of fresh milk and an exotic fruit called marula. This fruit, that I didn’t know beforehand, seems to have a lot of vitamine c. More important than that, mixed with milk makes an unique mix with a soft and delicious taste.
This drink has a …

I saw the commercials for Skittle Chocolate Mix, and I was intrigued. What would a new type of round chocolate candy taste like? I love everything chocolate, so I decided to find out.
The first thing I noticed was that the wrapper showed that the new Skittles come in five …

Blue Bunny Double Strawberry Sedona Frozen Yogurt Granola Sandwiches are not quite as good as the Double Strawberry Aspenâ„¢ Frozen Yogurt Granola Bars. What makes me prefer the latter to the former? For one, these sandwiches do not have any vanilla where as the bars have a vanilla coating. …

I have been eating original Yoplait yogurt ever since I was around twelve or thirteen. I have tried other yogurts over the years and I can say that none of them can compare to Yoplait. It has such a smooth and creamy texture and comes in many varieties of …

Mamee monster - The title alone will create the impression of a terribly unhealthy, but incredibly delicious snack. It is one of the better ‘Made in Malaysia’ snacks, as compared to snacks like ‘Super ring’ (a cheap version of Cheezels) and the like.
Mamee monster is essentially a packet of …

Farmstand baby cut carrots are amazingly fresh even after days of the purchase. They are very clean too. I wash them before using but all time I feel that they do not need any washing at all. I do not remember having got such a feel from any other …

Without a doubt, I enjoy cheese. I probably derive a bit too much satisfaction from eating cheese and could likely stand to cut back some on it, but when products like Sam’s Choice Cheese Sticks Mozzarella and Asiago exist on store shelves, my goodness is it ever difficult! I …

So, last week we were in our local grocery store and my notice the brand named cola drinks were way more than we wanted to pay. So, instead we decide to try the Hannaford Cola and it tasted pretty good. It was less money and taste just like cola …

I don’t usually buy a lot of fast foods, or pre-packaged foods. I had company coming over to watch a movie, so I bought some Heinz Hot Bites.
These are Bagel Bites, and are actually little tiny bagels, with cheese, tomatoe sauce, pepperoni, and seasoning. When I opened the 198gram …

I’m really not that into buying brands that aren’t well known to me, but every now and then I decide to be brave if something lures me in. I’m not really that health conscious, but I am at the same time trying to go with healthier options if …

Stouffer’s Turkey Tetrazzini is not quite as good as the tuna noodle casserole that I really enjoy, but I still like to purchase this meal every so often. I simply do not like turkey quite as much as I like some other things, but when I do have a …

My sister just drove in today to stay for the weekend. So I went to the grocery store to stock up on snacks and other food for the kids. I purchase Totino’s pizza rolls whenever my sister comes to visit me. My sister has two kids …

Based on my research, this is about the best oil that can be bought because of its heart-healthy properties. The extra virgin olive oil is supposed to reduce the levels of unhealthy cholesterol while promoting healthy cholesterol. This is of course when a person sticks to a diet that …
