Kirkland green tea is only available, to my knowledge, at CostCo stores in Washington, USA. It is a blend of sencha and matcha tea, and comes in boxes of over 200 tea bags. I buy it every time I go to CostCo.
The package of the tea is very alluring, …
Mascarpone Alte Cime
In my family everybody likes Tiramisu, well everybody except me, so they make it all the time. Unfortunately to make good Tiramisu you need a good Mascarpone and mascarpone is always really expensive, usually 200g costs some 4-5 euros depending on the brand of it.
About a year ago I …

General Mills Cocoa Puffs
I used to eat Cocoa Puffs, made by General Mills, on occasion because I found it to be a reasonably tasty breakfast cereal that was both chocolaty and crunchy. I liked how the Cocoa Puffs never became excessively soggy in milk like many other breakfast cereals did and I …

Utz Natural Gourmet Medley Kettle Cooked Potato Chips

We all know how expensive Steak Umms and Quaker Maid are, well I found a really good product, and it’s called Blue Diamond Sandwich Steaks. They are 100% all beef. The Sandwich Steaks come in a 12OZ box, which is 6 steaks. These steaks are just as good as …
Cote D’ Or Hazelnut Dark Chocolate

Noel Dux Original Crackers
When I first saw the Noel Dux Original Crackers snack one day, the first thing that came to my mind was a particular snack called “Club Social” that used to be popular when I was much younger in the nineties, because the packaging looked similar. However, it was only …
Quaker Whole Hearts Cereal
Quaker is that brand that I have come to trust for my oat needs. It’s a brand I grew up with as a child, and one I use as a adult. I began using quaker oats, and gradually moved up to the granola bars and now I discovered their …
Great Value Pieces & Stems Mushrooms
Great Value Pieces & Stems Mushrooms come in a small 7 oz metal can, priced at only 50 cents. The mushrooms (champignons) are cut into large pieces, which I prefer to another brand that has really small ones, hard to even pick up with a fork as you eat …

Land, Soft Fruit Cheese, Apricot
I like the taste of Apricot very much and I buy almost always yogurts with taste of apricot. Before today I never eat apricot soft fruit cheese. I never buy soft fruit cheeses because they are very little and they seems to me like a babies food. I was …
Stouffer’s Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Stromboli
Stouffer’s Chicken Broccoli Cheddar Stromboli is a real delightful lunch time treat that I find to be quite rich in flavor! The grilled chicken has a terrific natural flavor that is both authentic and enjoyable. The broccoli works great with the chicken and it offers a pretty stark taste …
Keebler Graham Cracker Crumbs
I enjoy baking all sorts of goods including cakes, pies, cookies, breads and etc. especially during the holiday season and family gatherings throughout the year.

Harvey’s Bristol Cream Sherry
The Spanish have a thriving wine industry which produces some of the better-known brands in the world. The Cava brand could be argued to be the —˜poor man’s champagne’ by some, but it must be said that many of the Spanish Cavas are actually nicer than the Champagne they …
Bali’s Best Latte Candy
I bought this candy at an Asian food store in Seattle, Washington. The candy is labeled as “latte candy”, and I was curious as to whether it would taste good or not because I have never drank any lattes. At first the taste was surprising, but it’s really good!

One of my favorite kinds of candy is Gobstoppers. They are small jawbreakers that come in different colors and flavors. They also come with regular kind insides or chewy insides, but the chewy ones are a little harder to find. I like them both, but I …
Mrs. Freshley’s Buddy Bars
I used to eat Mrs. Freshley’s Buddy Bars before I discovered the SnackAway Peanut Butter Wafer Bars. Sure, these bars do taste better than the SnackAway version, but these bars also contain more sugar and more calories. The SnackAway version features a dramatic reduction in sugar and calories with …
Marie Callender’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Frozen dinners have come a long way from when I was a kid, and Marie Callender’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce with proof of that. Since I’ve always enjoyed my meals at a Marie Callender restaurant, once they began to market frozen foods, I gave them a try. …

Del Monthe Fruit Chillers Strawberry Snow Storm Tubes

We like drinking Energen specially every morning. It is a nutritious milk and cereal drink in one. It has lots of vitamins, minerals and protein which makes it very good for the body. Energen has two delicious flavors, vanilla which is made of milk, cereal and …
Stouffer’s Fish Filet

Weetabix as an Economical, Healthy Breakfast
The humble breakfast cereal is often dismissed by the public as just so much junk. Its supposed health benefits are discussed and highlighted in TV adverts; it is used as an example of healthy eating, yet most are little more than excuses for manufacturers to sell sweet things disguised …
Diet Pepsi
I love Diet Pepsi. I think that I am addicted. The problem is they are not good for you. I don’t know if it is the carbonation, the taste or the caffeine.
The label says that there are 0 calories, …

Betty Crocker Halloween Candy Fruit Snacks
I will not purchase Betty Crocker Halloween Candy Fruit Snacks again because I find the snacks to be of poor quality. The reason that I feel that they are of poor quality is because I do not taste anything close to authentic fruit flavor. I am well aware that …
Leader Vodka Ice mixed drink
I have already tasted two different Leader mixed drinks and I must admit that this is the worst one, the other two are made of rum plus lime or orange. I usually prefer vodka to rum, but this combination of vodka with lemon is really not my favourite one. …
Mrs. Freshley’s Strawberry Fruit & Grain Cereal Bar

Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Waffles
As I’ve often said, I like simplicity in my cooking. To be more specific, I want as little mess as possible and virtually no clean up. This comes from not having a working oven, a stovetop with just one unreliable working burner, and the lack of a …
McDonald’s restaurant (UBC location)
This particular McDonald’s restaurant is almost always busy, probably because of its location on a university campus. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, it’s still a fairly clean location. (I’ve been in some McDonald’s restaurants that were not). So it’s your standard bright and cheerful McDonald’s (although it …
Mrs. Freshley’s 100 Calorie Blueberry Muffins
There is not a great deal of flavor to be found inside these Mrs. Freshley’s 100 Calorie Blueberry Muffins. The blueberry flavor is not quite as rich as the non-one calorie muffins, and those did not even have a real rich blueberry flavor to begin with! While there is …
Time for Tea
When I was a small boy, I often saw some scenes in movies where some people would be seated at a table having tea. Then the host would usually ask the guest |”Sugar? One lump or two?” Now in such modern times that even 10 yr. olds have a …
Gatorade Sports Mix in Handy Sachets
I’m a regular Gatorade drinker and it surprised me when they have come up with a product which is in sachet form. My mom and I usually drink Gatorade on a bottle, be it in a glass bottle or in the plastic one. But when I came back home …
Sunbulah Springroll pastry
I have tried Sunbulah springroll pastry to make spring rolls. Generally inorder to make spring rolls we need to prepare both curry and the flour paste to make rolls. It is definitely a tedious process. But these spring roll pastry reduced half of the actual task. Because Sunbulah …

Gevalia Coffee
I must admit that Gevalia Coffee is pretty good. The variety of flavors to choose from are pretty vast, and they obtain a great combination of dark, rich, and full body coffee products. In addition to that, the company offers special promotional deals where you can get …
Kraft Philadelphia Whipped Cream Cheese
When it comes to the original Philadelphia cream cheese, I always purchased the block cream cheese for both my cheesecakes and bagels. When I found out they had a new version of the original cream cheese in a round container, I had to get it solely on the basis …
