7-11 Purple S’Creme Slurpee
Recently, 7-11 announced a new Slurpee flavor, and being the addict that I am, I had to check it out. The concept is that the icy treat itself is purple but the flavor is that of vanilla — or more specifically vanilla creme. My review of the …

Wisconsin Buttery Steak Burger from Steak N’ Shake in Ocala Florida
The Wisconsin Buttery Steak Burger from the Steak N’ Shake in Ocala Florida on Southwest College Road was not really all that it was cracked up to be, and assembled poorly. What I thought would be a delicious burger with a sweet tangy taste of the Wisconsin Butter, was …
Betty Crocker Warm Delights (Cinnamon!)
I bought a Betty Crocker Warm Delights Cinnamon Swirl Cake on a whim, and it turned out to be a good move.
For a tasty sweet snack or dessert, this little cake is handy. It’s designed to be one serving, but it’s big enough to serve two …
Little Debbie Chocolate Chip Snack Cakes
I have found these Little Debbie Chocolate Chip Snack Cakes to be a tasty treat to enjoy every now and then. While the flavor is not fantastically rich, the cakes do satisfy my desire for something sweet. The chocolate cake is relatively moist and soft, although the flavor could …
Nescafe Partners Blend Instant Coffee
Nescafe Partners Blend Instant Coffee is a decent instant coffee with a very smooth taste, but for me it just lacks in something. I am not sure if I am saying that it lacks in body or in strength, but for me, even if I put a really …

I love purchasing finger foods so that I can have a good companion during weekends when I am doing DVD marathon on my favorite movies. This is my favorite past time. One of the foods I purchased was the Roasted Mixed Nuts from Compliments. I have always opted eating for …
Kroger Creamy Garlic Ranch Dressing
One of my favorite herbs would definitely have to be garlic. There was one time when I went through a garlic frenzy and I would eat it with everything everyday. However, people around started to complain that I smelled funny, although I never smelled myself. I think it was …
Sainsbury’s Basics Creamed Tomato Soup
When I am low on cash before pay day, I do like trying out the really cheap own brand produce of supermarkets, such as Sainsbury’s. The prices can be ridiculous, like this Creamed Tomato Soup from the Sainsbury’s Basics range, which is only 17 pence. But I …
Ore Ida Crispy Crown Potatoes
When I can’t get to Burger King or McDonald’s for breakfast, I’ll go to super Wal-Mart and get a bag of Ore Ida crispy crown potatoes. The crispy crown potatoes are the same ones served at Burger King, and it cooked properly, they can have the same crispiness.
The packaging …
Haagen Daz’s Mint Chip Ice Cream
Haagen Daz serves and sells premium and quality ice cream, but I do find their classic flavours too average for my tastes and palate, so I had tried this Mint Chip ice cream and am happy to report that it lives up to it’s name and is equally delicious …
Tesco Chocolate birthday cake
I bought Tesco chocolate cake during the birthday party of my child. I don’t really have much time to prepare or make a cake so I decided to just buy something from Tesco supermarket instead. This chocolate birthday cake looks good to me and they even put …
Little Debbie Cherry Cordials - Valentine’s Day
These came with a special Valentine’s Day basket that I purchased, and boy am I glad that they did! If I would have actually purchased these Little Debbie Cherry Cordials - Valentine’s Day variety, I would have felt totally ripped off! These cookies are the exact same as the …
Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Strawberry Cheesecake
I find this Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Strawberry Cheesecake to be reasonably decent in terms of texture and flavor, although I personally prefer the taste and texture of a homemade cheesecake or one that is sold ready made at the grocery store. The reason for my preferences is …
Sunshine Snacks Corn Chips
Sunshine Snacks is a popular local brand for snack foods and one of their products is Corn Chips. This snack comes in a very light .28g package. This is not surprising since the chips themselves are pretty light but also very crispy. Since it is so small it is …
Honey Nut Cheerios Snack Mix
Although I no longer purchase the General Mills Honey Nut Cheerios due to Walmart offering the identical product for less money, I still on occasion will purchase this snack mix because there is nothing else like this offered by anyone else, so I don’t have a choice if I …
Blue Bunny’s Red Velvet Ice Cream
Being an ice cream cake lover, it was no surprise that I found myself drawn to the Red Velvet ice cream by Blue Bunny. Everything about this ice cream called to my sweet tooth. The creamy vanilla base, with a mix of cream cheese and the delicate red velvet …
Goldminer California Sour Dough Sandwich Bread
A sandwich isn’t a sandwich unless you have a good bread to hold it together. Sure the sauce and the meat and cheese with vegetables is one thing, but the bread is a whole other thing in itself. That’s why I decided to try sour dough bread from …
Kashi Caramelized Onion All Natural Hummus Crips
Snacking is a guilty pleasure of mine. I try to kick the habit, but I find myself right back where I started. Usually munching on things that are satisfying to the tastes buds, but aren’t the healthiest. Often times it’s potato chips, or some other snack chip. Crunchy and …
Kurkure
KurKure is another snack, which is very light and crispy. And the different flavourers of kurkure are good and spicy. Particularly the tasty and tangy imli flavour of the kurkure is my favourite. We can also make the very interesting recipe using the tomato, cucumber and …
Lucky Charms
We do not buy Lucky Charms very often, as we tend to stick with cereal without the marshmallows. We always worry that if we buy them the cereal that has marshmallows, then our seven-year-old and our nearly two-year-old will pick the marshmallow pieces out and leave the cereal, so …
Pillsbury Puff Pastry
When you love to cook and bake just like me, you will definitely love to experiment with food. You will also develop a strong love for stuff or ingredients that are versatile and can be used in different recipes. Pillsbury Puff Pastry is one of my favorites. Pillsbury being …
McCain Steak Fries
I purchased these steak fries once, but I won’t be coming back for seconds. The problems I had with these steak fries resulted in me not caring too much for them. For one thing, I had to be careful to either make all big fries or all small fries …
Highliner Multigrain Tilapia Breaded Filets
I have long been a fan of Highliner fish products but often find they are too pricey for my budget. Recently, my local supermarket had a half off sale so I bough Highliner Multigrain Tilapia Breaded Filets in a 680gram box for $4.99CDN.
I had never eaten Tilapia fish before, …
Maruchan Yakisoba Noodles Spicy Chicken Flavor
I have been a fan of ramen noodles for some time now, but I had not tried Yakisoba noodles before. Although I am not sure what the difference is between ramen noodles and Yakisoba noodles (even after trying them both they seem very similar), I could not resist trying …
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 …
Betty Crocker - Fudge Brownies
Betty Crocker - Fudge Brownies are really quite delicious! Between the chocolate and the chocolate fudge, there is a whole lot of rich chocolate to be enjoyed!

Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust Pizza
Pizza Hut recently reintroduced the Stuffed Crust Pizza. I remember this coming out a few years back, they put a tube of cheese inside the crust to encourage people to eat the crust. Some pizza places don’t have very good crust, but Pizza Huts was never that …
Mac’s Brewery Spring Tide, Lower-Carb Lager 330ml
I like keep myself in, what we kiwis like to describe as, pretty good nick. I run, watch what I eat, all that good girl stuff. But at the end of a long hard day of “being good” sometimes you just feel like a beer. Everyone …
Jennie-O Ground Turkey
When shopping at Super WalMart they had some Jennie-O Ground Turkey for sale, less than $2 a pound. We decided to give it a try, since we’ve heard turkey is better for you than beef, and ground beef here can be $4 or more a pound (unless on …
Tortica Kras Chocolate coated wafer with orange
I never buy this type of snacks because I prefer healthier ones like muesli bars and things like that.
When I was Little my grandfather used to buy me Tortica wafers and I liked them a lot they were small, maybe 5cm x 5cm and they are coated with chocolate. …
Focaccio with sun dried tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella
Recently I was on the road in Southern Oregon and needed to pick up a quick meal. I stopped at the local Safeway and nothing looked good. Finally, I looked at the pre-made sandwiches near the deli counter.
I expected to find the usually homogenized egg salad on white bread …
Mission’s Yellow Cornflower Tortillas
Every week while I’m grocery shopping I try and search for products that are healthy, but that won’t taste like cardboard or leave me hungry after the meal. I scan the grocery shelves for the perfect product that I can be satisfied with and bring home as part of …
Hypnotiq Passion Fruit Liquor
Hypnotique is passion fruit liquor that I was recently exposed to. The liquor is purchased in a large blue bottle and is blue in color. It tastes petty fantastic though. If you have a friend who doest like the taste of strong liquors then they will probably enjoy the …
Full Circle Organic Microwave Popcorn
While grocery shopping last week, I had the urge for some popcorn and noticed Full Circle microwave popcorn was on sale. It’s organic, which I’ve never had before. I was hesitant, but decided to take the plunge since it was less than my regular brand.
I purchased the …
Lay’s Sour cream and onion chips
Lay’s chips are our family favourites. We like to munch on them atleast weekly. We do avoid overindulging in them but the taste of it drives us to grab more of them. Sour cream and onion flavor has a special taste that is just too good. Eating too much …
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, …
Coco-Choco chrispy cream yogurt
I took this yogurt because I actually think it was stracciatella one, you know those white vanilla ones with chocolate chips, just when I got home I realised it was made of coconuts and not stracciatella, it was a small disappointment I must admit but as I like coconuts, …
Metromint - Peppermint Water
Metromint - Peppermint Water is more or less about as good as hint peppermint water, and if I had to choose the better tasting flavored water, I do not think that I could. Much like the hint flavored water line, this water is also pretty pure and healthy. The …
Cass beer
Cass, the premier beer of Korea. It’s generally accepted to be a mild beer, lighter in taste, and lacking in flavor. It’s the kind of beer perfect for drinking games as you can chug large amounts and never mind that your taste buds haven’t felt a thing. However, the …
Bob’s Red Mill Wheat Germ

Rice-A-Roni Parmesan And Romano Cheese

McDonald’s McGriddle (Bacon, Egg & Cheese)
The McDonald’s McGriddle with bacon, egg and cheese is not a McGriddle variety that I find very tasty. The reason is the bacon that McDonald’s uses is not all that flavorful or large. They typically put two thin strips of either undercooked or overcooked bacon on the sandwich, and …
Healthy Choice Café Steamers Grilled Whiskey Steak
Café Steamers is an ingenious line of frozen food products developed by Healthy Choice. It has a unique product design that steams the food so that certain ingredients stay moist while other ingredients don’t dry out. I’ve tried some of the Café Steamers and was pretty satisfied. …

Stouffer’s Lasagna Bake with Meat Sauce
Stouffer’s Lasagna Bake with Meat Sauce is decent, although by no means fabulous. The pasta itself is fairly tender, although does not offer much else to the meal. The seasoned sauce spread over the ground beef does give the meal a certain flavor kick to it that I do …
Eve Tomato Ketchup
I’m not one of those persons who would like or buy every single brand of ketchup, especially some of the cheaper ones since I’ve noticed that some of the cheaper ones taste a bit “different” and at times even look a bit different from the other brands of …
Princess Tuna steak in sunflower oil
I really love having this tuna in almost all of my meal that requires using fish and sometimes mixing it with any other dishes I have at home but I normally have it as my lunch sometimes which I paired with nice fragrant Thai rice as a very good …
