I knew that these past couple of weeks had been frightfully not even though it’s not even summer as yet. However, I don’t think I ever really felt how hot it was until last week when I had some business to do on the road. I was so burnt …

I’m not really much for one to drink tonic water or club soda. However, it does really well for getting out stains from the carpets and some of the clothes that we wear. I buy Lowes Foods seltzer,tonic water or club soda to keep on hand for quick …

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 …

If you are trying to be a more conscientious consumer than buying organic is great. Where to start? Is it necessary to replace everything in your cupboard? Not really it depends how far you want to go and how much you want to spend. I spend close to a …

This is a great tasting water that was made in Canada. I live in Canada so I can say with pride that this brand is far better than some of the bigger company brands such as Nestle, Dasani, and Aberfoyle. Firstly, REAL CANADIAN sells its water for a lower …

So Camel is test marketing a new tobacco product, Camel SNUS, in my area. I haven’t tried it yet but I can tell you one thing: this is one Camel product I am not going to be buying.
Basically the Camel SNUS is like chewing tobacco, except you don’t …

Ever sense I started a new years resolution with my church last year, I was limited in the foods I was allowed to eat. Nuts and vegetables was basically all I could eat. I went to Wal-mart and found Dietary Snack Mix as the perfect choice for …

I was making dinner the other day and realized I really needed something to go along with it. So, I dug through our freezer looking for some vegetables and I came across a bag of Freshlike Vegetables (from the brand Birds Eye); their Bean and Carrot Blend.
I like both …

Kroger instant mashed potatoes are great for a quick and easy side dish with any meal. They even come in a box of different sizes from small to large so that you can get the right amount for your families size. I usually get the larger box since my …

Hershey’s: Rich Chocolate Special Dark Syrup is not quite as good as the regular chocolate syrup, but I did not feel as if my money was wasted on this syrup, so that is always a good thing. It really comes down to preference, I suppose. Dark chocolate is something …

My wife and I were hungry for tacos this past weekend and decided to pick up a taco dinner kit when we were at the store.
We had quite a few brands to choose from so we ended up just picking the cheapest one. That happened to be a taco …

I love tacos, but I’ve never really made them at home. It’s just too messy of a process. However, I was recently given a packet of Old Del Paso Taco Seasoning Mix and just had to take advantage of it.
Basically, you brown your hamburger, then stir in …

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 …

The other day I went to the grocery store and they were all out of my favorite organic honey so I ended up getting a local farm honey called Swan’s Pure Natural Honey. The honey is made in Maine and is U.S. Grade A Honey.
Now this natural honey …

Kellogg’s All-Bran Garlic Herb Crackers are a delight to eat. They are bite-sized and every serving contains 5 grams of fiber (a serving size is 18 crackers but I eat less than half of that at a time). There are 5 grams of fiber in a serving size, and …

I went home for lunch today and needed something that was both easy to make and would hold me over until dinner (mostly because I forgot to buy some snacks for my desk at work).
I honestly couldn’t find too much since we haven’t done a lot of grocery shopping …

The more I sample of the Sainsbury’s Basics low budget range, the more I think that Tesco’s own ‘Value’ brand is the far superior. Tesco are hit and miss when it comes to their value range but Sainsbury’s appears so far to be consistently poor. I have …

This product is as healthy as it can get. A lot of juice out there is from concentrate (which isn�t as good as 100% pure ones) or the ones mixed from powder or the other unnatural ones or contain too much sugar. Anyway this contains 100% vitamin C! Because …

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 …

When on the hunt in Sainsburys, one of my favorite snacks is their chilli flavoured potato snack. It’s a large packet of crisps and you will often find them near the curry and Mexican mixes so don’t be fooled into thinking that just because they are crisps they will …

My mother used to make homemade tomato sauce, but these days, who has time? Tomato sauce in a jar is just so much easier. I usually buy the sauce at my local supermarket, where it comes in many flavors. Recently, I went to Shop Rite, where …

For me, cooking is a pleasure. I enjoy making different recipes for dishes at home. I especially enjoy making copy cat versions of recipes I eat at restaurants. This is how, I came across La Choy Stir Fry Teriyaki Sauce and Marinade in my neighborhood Kroger. I was initially …

I am not really a fan of Cucumber Sandwiches, but a lot of my friends at work and outside really love to eat this menu; I really don’t know why. On some occasions, I will find myself preparing this to take to take-away lunch to bring to work to …

I don’t normally love wafers, quite possibly because they are normally a bit too thin and dry for my tastes. Therefore, when my mother bought a pack of “Pascual Strawberry Wafers” I hesitated to eat it, since I was not particularly fond of them. It stayed in my school …

Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Bordeaux Cherry Chocolate is a fairly enjoyable flavor combination that I like to have every five or six months. The reason I like this ice cream is because it successfully combines both dark cherries and dark chocolate. The resulting combination is really a quite …

This is one of greatest inventions ever, I think, and am happy to have Coke as a pat of my daily life.
I have known and consumed Coke for as long as I can remember and I find it rather strange that I just never get sick of it, no …

I am not so hot on these Ridged Tortillas from the McCoy’s brand, but they are edible. I think when I saw them I thought they were the brand I tried before which I liked but these were not as nice as the other brand. Just so …

Sun Chips - French Onion is my absolute favorite flavor of chip that is available currently in the Sun Chips line. What a delight it is to have these chips! The French Onion flavor is very strong - so strong that, with the first couple of chips, my taste …

I bought Carapelli Extra virgin Olive oil when it was on offer. The offer was to buy one and get another one free. I grabbed the offer. Today I am pleased about the decision.
The Carapelli Extra virgin Olive oil is available in glass bottle and also in different …

If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, I think I would pick the fries from Bojangles. Unfortunately for me there aren’t any of the fast food chain restaurants around me. Maybe that should be fortunately since I probably would never eat anywhere else. …

Pepsi is my vice (along with Spaghetti). I drink it all the time. I can’t stand Coke. As a child, my parents originally did purchase Coke, but when Pepsi really began to pop up, they switched, and we never looked back. Now what is funny …

I happen to be a big time coffee lover. I love Starbucks specialty coffees and try to work it into my budget, so when these products came out that were supposed to taste like coffee house coffees came out I had to try them. I received two boxes …

Burger King Original Chicken Sandwich is one sandwich which is very basic and does not excite me very much. The lettuce quality that I receive is not one thing I am happy about. The amount of mayonnaise often does not have any uniformity. One thing I feel good about …

My parents love drinking tea like a lot of other Jamaicans, and since things have gotten pretty hard financially, usually what they buy these days are brands like “Red Rose Tea” since those tend to be less expensive. However, when they can afford it, I normally see them try …

These Marmite Oven Baked Cashews are really nice and obviously quite moreish as I have got through a whole packet today and now I feel queasy. I was so enjoying them walking along back from the supermarket that I finished the lot, and the whole bag contains over …

This is a classic dish made with pasta, chicken, broccoli, and cream sauce. I think that it’s a hearty meal that translates easily into a frozen dinner. One of the things that I have noticed about this frozen dinner is that whenever I have purchased it in the past, …

I work with bzzagent.com and received a hellman’s kit where I was to try various recipes and spread word of mouth on using Hellman’s Real Mayonnaise.
In the kit I also received a large jar of the Hellman’s 1/2 Fat Dressing to try and put it in the refrigerator.
My husband …

At 58 cents for a two liter bottle, Sam’s Cola beats Coke and Pepsi by a long shot, pricewise. At the same time it has good, classic Cola taste that is not any worse, in my opinion, than the above mentioned popular brand names. Sam’s Cola wastes no money …

I love this dessert, Baked Chocolate Mousse very much. In fact, I do know that it’s fattening but I just can’t help it at most times.
Whenever you go to any cake shop and you could find Baked Chocolate Mousse, there is a high chance that the taste …

Mrs. Butterworth’s: Original Syrup is just about the most flavorful and rich syrup that I have ever tried, although I think Log Cabin, at times, alternates with this brand for my most favorite syrup. Both have a deep, rich flavor to them and both are a fairly thick syrup. …

The American Choice Flavored water is something that I usually buy at my local Wal Mart when I do my shopping. The reason so is because it is something that is usually on sale and I can usually buy a bunch of them at a low price. What …

Just in time for the May release of DreamWorks’ Shrek Forever After movie, appeared the latest in product tie-ins by Hostess. While I can usually pass by the Twinkies unfazed when confronted with them in the snack aisle, there was just something about the limited edition Ogre …

Yum Yum All Dressed Chips might be “yum yum” for some, but I did not find myself saying or thinking “yum yum” when I first tried this potato chips! Quite the opposite, really! What bothers me the most about these chips is the barbecue flavoring. The barbecue flavoring was …

I first came to know about YanYan (a Japanese snack of bread sticks dipped in flavored frosting) while vacationing at Epcot in Disney World Florida. Epcot as some may know, is a park connected with Disney World that shows visitors different cultures around the world. One of those cultures …

Doritos has made a large variety of chip flavors. And being honest I have to say that I have really liked them all. One flavor in particular that I came across and knew that I had to try was the Cheeseburger flavor, which is part of their late night …

When I was a little girl I really liked Pez candies, my parent were buying them to me very often and they also had that toy which had you had to push down so that the candy would come out. I really adored those toys but they would never …

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 …

I love Dr. Thunder for its pleasant, refreshing “almondy” taste, very close to that of Dr. Pepper and for half the price. I buy 2 liter bottles of it at Walmart for only 58 cents a bottle, and sometimes they even lower the price to 50 cents - hard …
