I found myself wandering the snack aisle at Wal-Marts yesterday and marveled at all the new choices of snack cakes and treats. Since I often pack a few items in my son’s backpack and he always ignores anything I consider healthy, I figured I budge a little …

I am pretty pleased with Mrs. Freshley’s Raspberry Creme Cakes. I find that unlike with some of the other products by this company, like the banana cakes, this creme cake actually has a pretty decent raspberry flavor that I find rather scrumptious - especially after I have just heated …

PayDay Candy Bars make me think back and remember my childhood. It’s a weird kind of symbol of happy family times. No, my family didn’t sit around eating PayDay Candy Bars, but they were one of my mom’s favorites, and I loved them, too.
PayDay Candy Bars are …

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 …

I think that everyone should have a crock pot. It should be a stable in ever persons home. My husband and I have a 4qt. Black crock pot that we bought at Target for about $20. We bought it on random day when we wanted to make meatballs for …

I am reviewing one of my favorite brands of cereal, Fruit Loops. Fruit Loops is a breakfast cereal produced by Kelloggs. It is available in Canada, The United States, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Germany, so if you are reading this you are probably a short …

I was just making some classic American chop suey for dinner and decided to use Bertolli Olive Oil and Garlic Pasta Sauce in the dish and I am so happy I did. The olive oil and garlic pasta sauce is a tomato one with this incredibly fresh olive oil …

I bought Trader Joe’s O’s as an alternative to Cheerios the last time I was at Trader Joes. The taste and texture of the O’s is as good as Cheerios, and there is no aftertaste, unlike some othe immitations. However, there are far too many O’s that …

Last winter my boyfriend had a terrible sinus headache. He has a history of bad sinus infections, we were really afraid that he was headed for a doctor visit which we really couldn’t afford. In a web search for natural sinus remedies, we came across the suggestion …

Stouffer’s Cheese Ravioli is a very tasty meal that I enjoy having along with a salad and some bread. I have the salad and bread not only because I enjoy both, but also, because I need the salad and bread to help fill me up since the ravioli meal …

Del Monte has this product called the Instant Marinade. I have tried using the two varieties, barbecue and tapa and I can say that I am satisfied with these products. Del Monte is a world famous name in the food industry and you will not be disappointed with the …

These little taco bites offer quite a bit of flavor for something so small. I admit that my expectations weren’t that high for these small tacos, but maybe that’s part of the reason I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor they had to offer. First of all, the exterior …

Great Value Chicken Drumsticks come in a plastic bag, easy to open and re-sealable. The 4 lb bag contains 10 ice glazed, individually frozen, ready to cook drumsticks. Being individually frozen, they are all nicely separated and never stuck together, which I like. The drumsticks are large and meaty. …

Mama Cozzi’s Stone Baked Veggie Pizza is sold for just two dollars and ninety-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. The price of this pizza may cause people to wonder what they’re getting for less than three dollars, and really, I don’t think this pizza compares to the more …

Totino’s pizza has been a staple of my college eating habits, and while they aren’t healthy they are cheap and really easy to make therefore I tend to eat a whole lot of them and I don’t mind if they are bad for me they do taste quite good! …

This Dark Roast Freeze Dried Instant Coffee from Sainsbury’s own brand is indeed, as it says on the label, dark and intense, which incidentally is how I like my men. This is lovely coffee, especially for me as I like a good strong cup which is smooth as …

I often have to drive long distances. Sometimes, I do it in company. If I’m with the family, there’s always someone to keep me chatting. I can listen to music to stay alert. It’s when it gets dark and people doze off that danger can occur. The same thing …

I have never known that Hershey’s Kisses Chocolate Truffles existed till I visted a candy shop at Grand Bazaar with my grandparents. It was all because my grandmother wanted ice cream which is why we went in there. This was the first time and place that I had ever …

One of the great classics of the breakfast cereal world, if I can use that perhaps slightly overblown expression, is Kellogg’s Rice Krispies. This has been a favourite all over the world for very many years now, and there is no real mystery as to why - it is …

The Mom’s Best Toasted Cinnamon Squares cereal retails for two dollars and thirty-nine cents and can usually be found in the organic or natural foods section of supermarkets. This is a cereal that tastes and looks a lot like General Mills Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It’s a sweet, crunchy cereal …

I never know the differences between different types of tea, so when I first saw this product, Sabah Tea, I seriously wondered, how different could it be from green tea? Aren’t they all tea?
One sip of Sabah tea and I know the difference immediately. …

Hidden Valley Ranch dressing is the only dressing that I like in my salads. It’s the best dressing if you ask me. It’s thick and creamy and has a taste like no other dressing out there. I had a Kraft ranch low fat dressing once and that is alright, …

I feel that Entenmann’s Marble Loaf Cake is worthy of being purchased if you are someone that enjoys the flavor combination of vanilla and chocolate. Although there is certainly more vanilla to this marble cake than chocolate, both flavors I feel are still represented well and both flavors come …

When it comes to juices I must say that I rarely find one that I like, I usually buy juices that are on discount so this time I’ve found Derby blue Zero Ace for 1,19 Euro and holds 1 and a half litres of juice. You actually don’t even …

I’ve learned about this Kellogg Special K Cereal from a gym buddy, while complaining about how I can’t stick to my diet, she recommended me this product and told me it really works on her. We’ll I must admit she looks great, she said she had been on this …

Cadbury’s Star Bar is one of my favourite chocolate bars. Before writing this review, I nipped onto Wikipedia to remind myself when they first came out as I have been buying these regularly since the 1980s. Interestingly, it pointed out that this Star Bar only exists because …

I stumbled upon a fruit salsa recipe a couple of months ago and made it at my daughter’s first birthday party. I was impressed with the amount of compliments I received, it really went over as a hit. I made a couple of …

Last December I was shopping at Sam’s Club and there was a sample table set up with some fudge. I’m no dummy so I took the sample and really liked it. I enjoyed it so much I decided to buy a package. The Fudgie Wudgie Fudge …

I haven’t bought Lindt chocolate in a long time, but I always really liked it. And I’ve been aware that they’re introducing new flavors for a while now. I remember that a few years ago mixing chili and chocolate was sort of a hot thing. They even had chili …

I had the opportunity to try Ener-G-Foods Wylde Sesame Pretzels when making a trip to the neighborhood discount food store. Every time I go there I always catch a bin of new things, usually little snack packets that is a dollar or less. I thought “Hey for …

Stouffer’s Corner Bistro Margherita Flatbread is probably something that is geared towards vegetarians or for those that simply love vegetables. I personally find the sandwich to not be filling at all, really. It is sort of fine if I am not too hungry and it is lunch time and …

Froot Loops have been a welcome favorite of my sister’s and mine daily breakfast routine for quite a while now. It started in childhood. I think that Froot Loops was my sis’ favorite cereal at that time, and while it wasn’t mine, Sugar Crisp was always tops, it was …

Sometimes, it’s nice to have something a little sweet after breakfast in the morning. I see the Nature Valley Soft-Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Squares as like an after breakfast dessert, one that isn’t extremely sugary and is small and light enough that I can enjoy even if I’m feeling full …

As far as local chips are concerned, Chippy would probably be my favorite among the others. Chippy has been in the market for a long time now since time in memoriam. Chippy has lots of new flavors now unlike before they only had the barbecue flavor which is still …

I tried Hills Bros Double Mocha Cappuccino earlier this summer while on vacation. I started each morning with a cup before every day of my trip. Since returning to work, Hills Bros Cappuccino has become a regular part of my morning. As with other instant …

I’ve been eating Taco Bell Crunchy Tacos for years and years, and as time as gone by, my feelings about them have pretty much remained the same. When they’re good, they’re good, and when they’re off, it’s a big disappointment. Much of the problem occurs in the …

If you are ever in the Perimeter area, and are available for lunch, do stop into the California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) located near Perimeter Mall. Not only is this location very clean and professional, the food is always fresh and delicious. I ordered the Chipotle pizza one …

Although out of all the snack pies Little Debbie makes I prefer the cherry variety the most, I feel that this Little Debbie Snack Pie - Peach variety is good too, just like the lemon variety is. The peach chunks taste quite fresh and rich and thankfully, authentic and …

When the brand of soda Fanta became popular a couple years ago, I was interested in trying it because I had heard a couple people say that it tasted pretty good. I think it might have come out around the time that D&G, what used to be the major …

While out, someone suggested that I try a new pre-mixed bottled alcoholic drink made by Bacardi. I was a little apprehensive at first because some of these drinks don’t really taste very potent. Or they are so full of sugars that you can’t really taste …

My mom and I are huge fans of orange-flavored chocolate. On our recent trip to Switzerland, we went to a chocolate store looking for Lindt orange chocolate thins which we had already tasted before and found delicious. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find it in the stores we went …

This was my very first time to eat Indian sweets and Rasmalai is one of them. I got curious on the white ball floating on syrup which I said to my hubby that he better buy me a can to sample and eat. It was readily available on stores …

Since my childhood days, I remember that Ajinomoto Umami Seasoning has been used for our food preparations at home. At that time, I didn’t have any idea its significance in our food. Anyway, as years went on, different food seasonings have been introduced in the market. I actually prefer …

Stouffer’s Grilled Chicken Italian Panini is something that is quite unique as I never do see anything real similar to it in the frozen food sections of the grocery stores that I frequent. It is actually quite a delicious sandwich too, and I hope that Stouffer’s does not discontinue …

Yoplait Trix yogurt aren’t just for kids. Now I’m not a big fan of yogurts and I’ve tried a lot of them. Some are chalky some are very sweet. Others are runny, grainy, too tangy, too bland, too thick. The thick ones you gotta eat slow or you’re liable …

Now here is a potato chip that is really quite likely to make you outright winch more than just once or twice when you take a bite into it! Try and be as ready as you can possibly be to have your taste buds attacked and conquered because the …

Fit & Active Yellow Cling Sliced Peaches comes in a twenty-nine ounce can for one dollar and twenty-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. They’re cheaper than the canned peaches sold in larger retail stores, even when compared to the store brand canned peaches. One major difference is these …

There are very few places here in Colorado to find sweet ice tea. If you are like me from the South where everyone serves sweet ice tea you know what a shock it is to move somewhere that it is an oddity. Chic Fil-A has sweet ice tea just …

A friend of mine who is big on nutrition introduced me to these fiber bars and I decided to give one a try. The dark chocolate is incredibly delicious and the fact that one bar is loaded with almonds is even better. The combination flavor of dark chocolate and …

So it seems like nowadays more brands are getting on what I like to call the band wagon of Macaroni and cheese. There’s so many variations out there that sometimes it can get a little overwhelming. Many of us are big fans of Kraft, and know nothing else. I’m …
