Kroger Mac N’ Cheese
One of the best cures that I’ve found for a hangover is the carb and cheese combo found in a box of Mac N’ Cheese. It’s cheap, quick and usually does the job, especially with a bottle of any sports drink at it’s side. Because of this …

Soymilk
After trying soymilk for the first time, I am hooked! The taste is so smooth and delicate that I can’t seem to get enough of it. There are a few different brands out there, Silk and 8th Continent to name a couple. I have tried …
Dole’s Cherry Mixed indivual fruit snack
When I was working most of the time I liked to take my lunch with me, especially during the winter when I didn’t want to face the cold. I like a variety of foods, and when I would pack my lunch I would like to eat a snack along …

Schogetten Trilogia chocolate bars
I am a chocolate afficionada. In fact, I find chocolate to be one of the life’s necessities, a source of important minerals as well as a small joy of every day. Since my resources are, however, highly limited, I have to be picky with my chocolate purchases. A particular …
Mint Schmint: Ice Breakers Restore
I noticed Ice Breakers is making sugar-free mints that deviate from the typical “breath-freshening” purpose. Ice Breakers Restore and Ice Breakers Energy sat in 5 neat rows beside the magazine rack, staring at me as I stood in line to buy groceries. Just the appearance of the packaging made …
Macadamia Sansrival
When our local daily newspaper came out with a list of 25 of the best desserts in the Philippines, we kept it aside for the holidays. Traditionally, dessert is our family’s highlight and we wanted to serve the best we could buy to make our celebration a little bit …

Every so often, you find that something comes along which is perceived as being just a standard product and no one thinks anything of it. Only when it is about to disappear do people start to realize just how lucky they were. That is the case with this whisky. …
Carl’s Jr. Milk Shake
Carl’s Jr. Milk Shake is described as being creamy, hand-scooped ice cream that is blended with real mMilk and chocolate syrup with whipped topping.

Oreo Cookie Club Package

When looking at the starbucks menu of whole bean coffe, arabian is by far the most exppensive, costing almost 150% the cost of the otehr coffees.
So why so expensive?

Farmland Honey & Maple Sausage Links
I mentioned in another review that my wife decided to make a pancake breakfast on Saturday. To go with the pancakes, we decided to make some sausage links and ended up cooking Honey and Maple Sausage from the brand Farmland.
They were OK but not great.
First, they tasted nothing like …
Mrs. Freshley’s Swiss Rolls
I find Mrs. Freshley’s Swiss Rolls to be pretty much standard fare. By standard fare, I mean that there is nothing that really sets these Swiss Rolls apart from those made by other companies. In fact, Little Debbie offers a packaged variety of Swiss Rolls that have different fillings …
Adagio Teas adagio.com

This one, Tasty …
Stouffer’s Southwest-Style Chicken Panini
Stouffer’s Southwest-Style Chicken Panini is a variation on the Grilled Chicken Italian Panini with a few differences. I really like both sandwiches, actually, and I feel that each one offers up a very enjoyable eating experience that I look forward to at lunch time. As for this particular sandwich, …
Cookout Double Chili Cheeseburger
Cookout is this strange little fast food chain around Charlotte, North Carolina. I assume they have other branches in other cities too, but I don’t know for sure. When we went, we found that they had an almost overwhelming amount of options on their menu board and we ended …
Jack in the Box Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger
Recently, I’ve become really interested in bacon. Yeah, I know, it’s not the healthiest food item in the world, but I find it so tasty. Because of this, I decided to see if there were any items on the nearby Jack in the Box menu that had bacon, such …
McDonald’s Sausage McMuffin Value Meal
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 …
Vanilla Yogurt Burst Cheerios
I first tried Vanilla Yogurt Burst Cheerios when I went on vacation by my grandparents. It was a new item that just hit the shelves of grocery stores and my grandmother love yogurt, so she bought a box of the Vanilla Yogurt Burst Cheerios. I was skeptical of how …
Silk Egg Nog
Before I was diagnosed as a lactose intolerant, I used to always enjoy drinking egg nog around the holidays. This year Silk put out a soy egg nog, which I purchased and decided to give it a try.
I have to say that although this did have the traditional egg …
Kirkland Signature Bottle Water
I love Kirkland Signature bottled water from Costco. However, you do have to buy an annual membership to Costco to get it.
Living in Las Vegas in 112-degree summers, you drink a lot of liquids. I will drink 1-2 cases of bottled water a week, most …
Mrs. Freshley’s Butterhorn Danish
I found Mrs. Freshley’s Butterhorn Danish to be a rather sweet treat to have, although aside from the sweet flavor of sugar and butter, there really is nothing else to this snack to enjoy. I think this is, perhaps, one of the sweetest and richest danishes that I have …
Our Family Garlic Dinner Rolls
I decided to order a pizza Friday night and, because garlic bread from Pizza Hut is a bit too much, I decided to just pick some up from the store instead.
While at the store, I saw a box of Our Family Garlic Dinner Rolls. I figured it was something …

Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup Picante Chicken Flavor
Remembering Remembering mom making hot chicken soup for me when I was sick made me long for some homemade hot chicken soup. When I hit the soup aisle in my local market, I scanned all of the possible choices. As I was sick with a sinus infection, nothing really …
Nutralite Bread spread
We are all extremely fond of butter. I love eating everything with a layer of butter. My children even eat biscuits topped with butter. Butter is said to change the taste of food to quite an extent. The food prepared in butter tastes better that that prepared in other …
Pringles
Pringles is my favorite chips. They taste great. It’s true about once you pop you just can’t stop. I almost always eat the whole thing of pringles. They have so many different flavors. I like almost all of them. My favorite kinds are the regular, sour cream and onion, …

Family Gourmet Premium Butter Popcorn
I’m very conservative with my grocery store budget. I don’t deprive myself of anything, including snacks, but nine times out of ten I purchase store brands and generic brands instead of name brands. It sickens me to pay a couple of dollars more for an item that’s …
Mountain Dew
I’m finishing my second can of Mountain Dew today and I have to say it has to be the best beverage I’ve ever come across.
Not only is it great tasting, it is also refreshing. Unlike other soft drinks, I don’t feel thirsty right after and don’t have the same …
Child’s Playtime Candy
Child’s Playtime Candy is a bulk candy package from the Tootsie Roll company. I’ve purchased it for years, normally at Halloween time but sometimes I get it at other occasions or just to restock. It’s a huge bag of over five pounds of candy that lasts a …
Kirkwood Boneless Buffalo Style Zings Chicken

Arcor Butter Toffee with Chocolate Center
I first encountered Arcor’s Butter Toffee with a Chocolate Center when I was going to high school. This is one of the best toffees I have ever come across in my life. I don’t think any other toffee would beat it back, they can only come close.
I am chocolate …
Dezato Cafe’s Red Velvet Cake

I love Sierra mist, about the same as I love Sprite. I was in the grocery store tonight and I noticed that they came out with a new Sierra mist. I have not seen any commercials or heard any advertising on it. Of course I love to try new …
Perdue Chicken Breasts
My wife and I recently purchased a box of Perdue chicken breasts because we were looking to stock up our freezer and they were a pretty good deal (11 in a box for under $10). Or, at least a the time we purchased them, they seemed like it.
We made …
Milo 3-in-1 For Adults with Actigen E
I have to be honest, I am already in my mid-20’s but I am not among the people of my generation who just loves coffee. I can survive a day without a coffee and I prefer not to drink coffee. Although there are very rare occassions wherein a friend …
