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 …
Heluva Good Roasted Red Pepper Dip
One thing that my husband likes to pack in his lunch is potato chips. The problem is he likes something to dip them in. Usually he is stuck with mustard, ketchup, or barbeque sauce because thatâ◚¬◞¢s all we have in the house. On occasion I will buy a dill, …
Chips Ahoy Cookies
When asked what my favorite brand of cookie is I never hesitate to delightedly say “Chips Ahoy!”! I have been in love with “Chips Ahoy!” cookies for as long as I can remember. Some people will say that they only like to eat moist cookies, or cookies that are …
Stouffer’s Skillets Beef Stroganoff
Stouffer’s Skillets Beef Stroganoff is really quite delicious! The flavor is perhaps even more plentiful than the portions of the meal, and that is really something since the portions are pretty significant! The beef is really very tender and so flavorful, too! There is plenty of it, too, so …
Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Peanut Butter Wafer Bars
Although I feel that Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Peanut Butter Wafer Bars could have likely been richer in flavor had this product not been made with nutrition in mind, I must say that despite the fact that there is really very little sugar added to these wafer bars, they still …
Captain Crunch Cereal
Like most kids did, I was able to try the popular cereal when I was a kid. I really liked the taste and have eaten it several times since then. However, I have always found it to be very difficult to eat. This was because after …
hint - Watermelon
The watermelon flavored water sold by hint is not one of my favorite drinks out of all the flavored water drinks sold by hint, but, I have tasted worse from the company, so I would have to say then that this flavor is just about average according to my …
Pringles Stix - Pizza
I had hoped that these Pringles Stix would have been better than the Pringles potato chips when it comes to the supposed pizza flavor that the packaging claims that they have, but sure enough, the stixs are just as disappointing as the chips. I am not quite sure why …
Lindt Excellence 85% cocoa
I know that the healthiest chocolate is the one that has highest percentage of cocoa in it but I got Lindt Excellence 85% cocoa for Christmas and I really couldn’t eat it. The fact is that it tastes like dirt. I understand that this chocolate is not one of …
Rich O Chocolate powdered drink
I love love this Chocolate drink! It’s fairly new in the market but it can really compete with other chocolate drink products out there. When buying this product, it’s best to read the label because you would see that it has more vitamin ingredients than other chocolate …
Hill Country Fare Fruit Rageous Cereal
Hill Country Fare’s Fruit Rageous cereals is one of those bagged cereals that taste just like a name brand cereal but come much, much cheaper. They also come in a bag instead of a box, like most cereals do. In the case of good old Fruit Rageous, …
Corralejo Reposado Tequila
I love good tequila, and reposado is my favorite. When I saw this fun bottle, I had to give it a try, and I think it’s definitely one of the best I’ve ever had.
For anyone who doesn’t know, a reposado tequila is sort of the middle grounds in terms …
Pilsbury Pizza Pops
Pilsbury Pizza Pops are well known as an easy and quick meal solution. Best heated up in the microwave, which enables the inside to cook first and not the shell, which usually burns under the heat of the oven, Pizza Pops are shaped like a half moon and consist …
Settembrini cookies (Mulino bianco)
Possibly the best cookies from Mulino bianco, the line of baked goods made by Barilla, the famous Italian company —“ and that’s saying something¨!
True to their name, these “September cookies” contain a surprisingly high amount of delicious, moist and not overly sweet fig filling, sitting at the heart of a …
M&M’s Plain Chocolate
This brand has been around for ages. I think I started eating M&M’s when I was still a little kid. For some reason, this has always been one of my favorite chocolate pieces. More so than Toblerone, kisses and such. (Although I would have to say that the plain …
Triden Layers Gum Green Apple + Golden Pineapple
On a long road trip at a rest stop, I found a vending machine that exclusively dispensed gum. Of course, I had to buy something from it (where else would you see a machine like that?) and chose the Trident Layers Gum with Real Fruit Flavor in Green …
Girl Scout Cookies
There is something about a Girl Scout cookie that I find highly addictive. In all honesty, their cookies are probably one of the few cookies that I will allow myself to indulge in on a yearly basis. Perhaps it is the fact that I can only purchase …
Farley’s Rusks
Farley’s Rusks are made by those food giants Heinz and are something that just about every new mother buys for her new baby once they reach the weaning stage.
Funnily enough when my two little boys were babies they were never too keen on them, however now they are older- …
The Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies
Last Wednesday, my husband’s boss had gifted us a 3.3 lb tin of the Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies. Even while I think of it and pen down this review, my mouth actually waters. Such is the aroma and taste of the butter cookies. True to its origin !!!
The …
Taj Mahal Tea
I am not a tea lover basically, and I used to drink the coffee every day in the morning. But some how I came to know that, it is not a good habit to drink the coffee early in the morning with empty stomach, because the caffeine is …
Caribas Cassava Chips
I like most types of chips, from banana chips to plantain chips, corn chips and even potato chips. However, one thing that has caught my attention recently is Cassava chips. I started seeing packs of them being sold as soon as the recession started, since for some reason, bananas …
Kashi Go Lean Cereal
As a vegetarian, I am constantly searching for different sources of protein. Since I don’t know how to cook very well, my beans and tofu dishes end up tasting bland and void of flavor. Since I love crunchy snacks and cereals, this Kashi cereal was an ideal …
Nestle Mini Marshmallows Hot Cocoa Mix
For hot cocoa lovers, Nestle Mini Marshmallows Hot Cocoa Mix with Rich Chocolate Flavor is a winner. Boasting it contains “Natural Antioxidents” (of which I can’t personally attest), perhaps more importantly it has a nice and smooth flavor with miniature marshmallows sprinkled generously throughout. It is 99.9% caffeine free …
Three liter of soda Shoppers value
I usually buy some three liters of soda that are Shoppers value instead of the regular two liters. They are cheaper and you get more soda in them. With all of the necessity items going up in the prices I have to watch how much I spend. So I …
Millville Cinnamon Crunch Squares
Sweet, crunchy and enjoyable in and out of milk, the Millville Cinnamon Crunch Squares cereal is one that’s best enjoyed in moderation. I have found that while I do enjoy the cereal in small quantities, too much of it can make me feel a bit sick to my stomach. …
Nestle Crunch Ice Cream
As I’ve said from my previous reviews, I’m a huge fan of chocolates, ice creams, coffees, and the random combination of these. Another delicious discovery of mine is the Nestle Crunch Ice Cream. Our family trusted Nestle from our choice of coffee, milk, creamer, …
Quorn Creamy Mushroom Vegetable Pie
One of my favorite Quorn products is the Creamy mushroom pies because it is filled with juicy Quorn pieces and sliced mushrooms. As I’ve mentioned before Quorn pieces are made with mycroprotein (a member of the fungi family) which is naturally low in fat. In short, it …
San Souci Special Roasted Peanuts
There is this 82 year old man in San Souci, NC that makes wonderful roasted peanuts. He has been roasting them and salting them for years and years. Finally the year before last he decided to sell some of them and called …
McDonald Hot Fudge Sundae
McDonald Hot Fudge Sundae is one of the Sundaes that I really like to buy. My boyfriend also wants McDonald Hot Fudge Sundae. In fact, every time we are in the mall and there is a McDonald Branch there, we buy McDonald Hot Fudge Sundae because we like the …
Old London Bagel Spicy Cheddar Chips
The Old London Bagel Spicy Cheddar Chips disappointed me quite a bit. I did not find these chips to be particularly spicy or rich with cheddar. I actually felt that these bagel chips were really quite bland and unimpressive. There was not a hint of spiciness in these bagel …
Mcdonald’s Sweet Tea
Have you tried Mcdonalds’ new sweet tea yet? I have. And let me tell you; it is amazing. It’s a new drink that Mcdonalds has, and lately, I have been ordering it all the time. The drink seems to be brewed to perfection! Well, most of the time. Honestly, …
Iceberg’s Chocolate German U-Boat Banana Split
The weather now is really crazy hot. With summer temperatures reaching 36-37 degrees Celsius, I really needed a nice, cold ice cream dessert that could quench my thirst. I am literally having headaches because of the heat!
It is a good thing to know that there is a nearby …
Celebrations Herbals Organic Red Rooibos Tea
My favorite rooibos herbal tea that I always keep on hand to make up and drink is the Celebrations Herbals Organic Red Rooibos Tea. I love this tea because the only ingredient it is made with is organic rooibos, which contains loads of antioxidants and other medicinal properties that …
Horlicks
Horlicks is the name of the health drink, which is very popular in India. Most of the Indian children drink the Horlicks every day with the milk. This drink has all the necessary nutrition and proves to be the best diet for children. It is like …
Stride Spearmint Sugarfree Gum
I recently saw a ridiculous gum commercial where they were acting like the flavor of the gum lasted so long they might not sell as much gum. Even though it seemed like a silly claim, I had to try it and see if the gum really did have flavor …
Cloverhill Bakery - Apple Danish
I do wish that the Cloverhill Bakery Apple Danish had a richer cinnamon flavor to offer to complement the apple flavoring, but unfortunately, this danish falls somewhat sort when it comes to the cinnamon. At times, I had a difficult time tasting the cinnamon and that left this pastry …
Nestle Honey Stars
My kids just love eating Nestle Honey Stars for their daily breakfast. Even I as an adult can’t help but eat this wonderful and healthy snack as well. The packaging is nice and labels are easy to understand. It is jampacked with vitamins and minerals that can help my …
Heinz Deep Browned Beans with pork and tomato sauce
These make a great quick meal! It’s very convenient to be able to come home and just open a can and heat it up. Sometimes we cut up some sausage or a cooked hotdog and add it to the beans.
We usually eat this over rice, or with a piece …
Farm Rich Mozzarella Sticks
Mozzarella sticks are one of my favorite appetizers to order in a restaurant. For me, there is nothing better than eating melting mozzarella cheese covered in some type of deep-fried breading. I had become familiar with them because my mom would always purchase them for me, and when I …
Grace Mixed Vegetables
We did not buy but were given a tin of Grace Mixed Vegetables by my grandmother one week. I was saving it at first so I could use it as an ingredient in pasta that I was going to make, but we had to use it one …
Cousin Willie’s Buttery Explosion Microwave Popcorn
I was so bored one time so I went to the supermarket to get me some snacks. I shopped for popcorn because I wanted to eat microwaveable popcorn. I actually miss the movie theatre’s buttery popcorn taste so I opted to get just a bag of popcorn to …
Tang Orange Flavour Crystals
I have been a huge fan of the orange crystal drink Tang for over 20 years. I first discovered Tang as a small child in Florida on vacation twenty years ago.
One of the unique things about Tang is the packaging. Unlike other commercial powdered drinks, Tang comes in a …
Organic Soy Dream Lil’ Dreamers
Organic Soy Dream Lil’ Dreamers turned out to be positively terrible! These were just about the worst ice cream sandwiches that I have ever tried. What made them so bad, exactly? Quite simply, the flavor was horrid! Whether it was the vanilla ice cream or the chocolate cookies that …
Emmi Yogurt
I have always been a yougurt fan, and have recently discovered Emmi Yogurt. This yogurt is just like all the other “bigger named” yogurts, except it is often much cheaper in price. I can usually get a 6oz container of this yogurt for around $1 which is dea when …
Sargento - Deli Style Sliced Swiss Cheese
Sargento - Deli Style Sliced Swiss Cheese is a Swiss cheese that I used to purchase quite often, along with the baby Swiss cheese. The reason I used to purchase it is because I liked how pretty much unlike every other cheese out there, the Swiss cheese would bring …
Stouffer’s Chicken and Pasta
Stouffer’s Chicken and Pasta is a very enjoyable meal that is both satisfying to my taste buds and quite filling as well - and that is the kind of meal that I look forward to having at night! Let us begin with the chicken. The chicken is grilled and …
Elmer Candy: You’re a Purr-fect Valentine box
For me, the joy of holidays sometimes mean treating myself to seasonal candies I wouldn’t normally buy, especially if they are on sale. Recently, I took a chance on Elmer Candy: You’re a Purr-fect Valentine box of candies.
The box is heart shaped and features an adorable kitty cat …

Sun Maid Mediterranean Apricots
These apricot bites are really tasty to have either as a snack in say the afternoon or as a way to add some sweet and tangy taste to a salad. They are indeed both sweet and tangy, a scrumptious combination that offers a richness that can never be ignored …
Selecta Coffee Almond Cookies Ice Cream
This new flavor of Selecta didn’t impress me much. With coffee cream as its main flavor, it was mixed with tiny and only a few bits of almonds and cookie crumbs. I didn’t experience anything new or special with this flavor.
I like Coffee Crumble better. The cashew nuts …
