Hostess Limited Edition Donettes Pumpkin Spice Mini Donuts
Hostess has really gone all out this autumn in producing pumpkin-flavored snacks and I can’t recall the company ever giving so many of its year-round snack cakes and treats a limited time pumpkin make-over. I’m not complaining though; the more foods pumped with pumpkin spice goodness, the better, for …

Horlicks biscuits are manufactured by the pioneer health drink manufacturer Horlicks. It is really nice to see the helath drink brand in biscuit form. It has added calcium and is really crispy. Even children loves to eat and tastes similar to glucose biscuits. …
Best Choice Salted and Roasted Spanish Peanuts
My family and I have made an effort to save money at the grocery store. So, I recently decided to try a generic version of our favorite peanuts. We usually buy the Planter’s brand, but it can be so expensive if it is not on sale. So, I purchased …
Balsamic Vinegar de Modena
I first heard of balsamic vinegar 4 years ago while watching a TV cooking program which presented a Greek salad.
I was intrigued by the name since balsamic in my mind could be associated with something soothing.
I am not a particular fan of salads in general and of vinegar in …
Goldfish Crackers
Who doesnt love goldfish. these great crachers are very small organge colored goldfish sshaped crackers with a wonderful cheese flavor. There are very great tasng, and a wonderful snack food.
A good thing about goldfish is that they are small enough that you can give them to babies who are …
Taco Bell Meal Deal
I have been seeing all the commercials about Taco Bell’s new two dollar meal deals. The commercials make the meals look large and fulfilling. They have a variety of meals that come with one main item a drink and a bag of chips. They have been advertising the beefy …
Tesco Value Malt Loaf
I have been trying to cut down on my spending lately and have been sampling the delights the Tesco Value range has to offer. At the ridiculously low prices they are selling for, you should not expect anything to be of the highest quality, but some products in …
Campbell’s: Cream of Broccoli Soup At Hand
Campbell’s: Cream of Broccoli Soup At Hand is superior to the Chicken & Stars flavor because this particular flavor has a great deal more taste! I enjoy broccoli and this soup certainly does it justice! Plus, it’s so quick and easy to make - I just have to stick …
Classic Chocolate Cacao Reserve by Hershey’s Drinking Cocoa
I was surprised by the flavor and aroma offered by Classic Chocolate Cacao Reserve by Hershey’s Drinking Cocoa, and not in a good way. I thought coming from a company like Hershey’s, a company that is known for its chocolate, that this cocoa would be positively delicious. What I …
Pizza Hut’s Mango Panna Cotta
My sister and I dine in at Pizza hut one time. We ordered pan Pizza and pasta and we decided to order a dessert to make a difference. We ordered Mango Panna Cotta. The serving cost PHP 79. We never thought how small the serving is and the features …
L’oven Fresh Mini Muffins Chocolate
These mini muffins from L’oven are about as good as the company’s blueberry mini muffins: a little above average, but not by much. What really helps make these mini muffins relatively decent is the fact that they are quite soft, moist and overall taste pretty fresh. They hold well, …
Michelina’s Manicotti
I often times have dinner alone, as my husband works second shift half of the week, and doesn’t get home until around mid night. I try to wait on him, but I get hungry around seven in the evening, and it is torture trying to wait five more hours …
Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Biscuit and Baking Mix
This is perhaps the best gluten free all purpose baking mix that I have tried. There are other mixes for pancakes, biscuits, cookies and other such products, but this one covers them all. There are two recipes included on the back of the package which work out quite well …
Sam’s Choice (beverages)
Walmart’s generic brand of sodas is called Sam’s Choice. I have tried their flavored beverages, and I still have yet to find one that really closely resembles a major name brand soda. While I can not say that the Sam’s Choice beverages taste bad in any way, …
Honey Roasted Peanuts from Albertsons
Honey Roasted Peanuts is a very experimental way of peanuts from Albertsons. I purchased Albertsons Honey Roasted Peanuts at around four dollars for 340 grams. The price may be little over than I expect but I give full marks for this innovative product. The peanuts are well roasted with …
New Zealand Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
I have to say that I’m a little particular when it comes to cookies and cream flavored ice cream. Unless the ice cream itself is really good, I won’t like it. I’ve had a lot that used cheap ice cream and loaded it down with cookies to make it …
Edwards Hersey’s Chocolate Cream Pie
The Edwards Hersey’s chocolate cream pie is the second of the two Edwards’ pies I had the opportunity to taste. I knew that the Hersey’s chocolate cream pie would be good because they resemble the pies I’ve order from Burger King.
The Edwards Hersey’s chocolate cream pie came the exact …
Chunkee Chewy Soft Cookies
I am reviewing another food. And this time its a soft chewy cookies. Chunkee cookies are proudly made in the Philippines(that’s what it says in the pack). These cookies are soft so it is mistaken that it is not fresh anymore.
What I like:
> I love the taste. I love …
London Pilsner Premium Beer
Hubby went outside to buy our dinner and when he came back he already bought beer with him. It was not the regular beer that we used to drink during our weekend dinner at home. It was my first time to taste London Pilsner Premium beer. It was not …
Carnation White Chocolate Hot Chocolate
I really like this mix. It’s a powder you can buy at the grocery store with all the other hot chocolate mixes, but it’s white chocolate instead. Yum.
It is a little bit too sweet sometimes, and that can give me a bit of a headache, but if you use …
South Beach Diet High Protein Cereal bars,Maple Nut
I recently purchased the South Beach Diet High Protein Cereal bars. These bars are made from soy nuggets. They taste very good, even to kids. My kids gobbled them up like candy bars. I feel good that they got some soy where they normally wouldn’t have. I originally bought …
Chiquita Juicy Green Apple Bites
Yesterday I was in the grocery store looking for different fruits that I could snack on through out the day at work. I came across bags of Chiquita Juicy Green Apple Bites. Also they had red apples as well. On the package it says …
Sundae Shoppe Ice Cream Bars
What’s nice about the Sundae Shoppe Ice Cream Bars is that unlike with the ice cream sandwiches also sold by Sundae Shoppe, these come on a stick. That makes eating these ice cream bars less messy than the ice cream sandwiches, which can leave my hands feeling sticky as …
Sanchi Sweet Milk
Out of the many branded diary products I use, Sanchi sweet milk is my favorite. Whenever I go for a jog, I always have at least one bottle of them, and at time two as well! Sanchi products are all delivered in authorized Sanchi dairy, which have many branches all …
Krusteaz: Cinnamon French Toast Sticks
Krusteaz: Cinnamon French Toast Sticks proved to be a moderately enjoyable breakfast meal, although I did encounter a few minor problems. First of all, it would have been quite nice if these French Toast sticks would have come either with powdered sugar on top of them or a packet. …
Mrs. Freshley’s Pink Snowballs
A snowball is a snowball, and that, unfortunately, is the case with Mrs. Freshley’s Pink Snowballs. Do not let the unusual pink color of these snowballs catch your eye - there is nothing different about these snowballs from other snowballs sold in the grocery stores. The pink is nothing …
Best Choice Instant Oatmeal in Maple and Brown Sugar Flavor
Our family is trying extremely hard to cut our grocery budget by sampling inexpensive versions of the usual name brand products that we buy. One of my children’s favorite breakfast items is oatmeal, particularly flavored instant oatmeal. We usually buy expensive versions like Quaker’s. However, I …
Gatorade Propel Water
I am not a big fan of most products that Gatorade makes, but I do really enjoy Propel Water. It is a fitness drink that actually has a sweet, good taste with few calories (25 in a 16 oz. bottle). My favorite kind is the peach kind …
Anlene Milk Powder
Anlene Milk is a nutritious milk for everybody. It is created to prevent you from having osteoporosis, an illness that make our bones weaken. Preventive measures are always better than cure that is why I tried drinking Anlene Milk.
Anlene Milk is an Anchor product as far as I know. …
Safeway Diet Orange flavored soda
Safeway Diet Orange flavored soda sucks to put it lightly! I was really hoping for a better tasting product from this company, because I have had good luck with some of their other brand products. This soda is just plain yuchy! There is really nothing good …
Kelloggs Honey Smacks Cereal
Another of my favorite cereals is Kelloggs Honey Smacks Cereal. This was one I always loved as a kid and still enjoy as an adult. About the only bad thing about this product is that I like to eat it more as a snack, and it’s messy …
Chocolate Peppermint
I have been growing this plant for years with 100% satisfaction and success. I got my first plant in a trade years ago, and started over 100 new plants from that single seedling over the course of the next 2 years. I gave baby plants away, traded them for …
Kellogg’s Complete Wheat Bran Flakes
This cereal is an incredibly healthy way to start each and every day and a nutritious snack to have during each and every day. This cereal offers an incredible complete one-hundred percent of the daily value of eleven essentially important vitamins and minerals. That is really something that a …
Nescafe Taster’s Choice Hazelnut Instant Coffee
I really like flavored coffees when it’s not obvious they’re made with artificial flavors. I think some of these coffees do better than others in that department. Now, in the past, I have really enjoyed hazelnut coffee, so when I saw that Nescafe made a hazelnut version, I had …
Kroger Mac N’ Cheese
One of the best cures that I’ve found for a hangover is the carb and cheese combo found in a box of Mac N’ Cheese. It’s cheap, quick and usually does the job, especially with a bottle of any sports drink at it’s side. Because of this …
McCormick Fresh Catch Calamares Seasoning Mix
I am a food aficionado. I love to eat and discover new things about food. This is how I do my pastime with my daughters. Baking and cooking with them alone. One of the finger foods that I really like is Calamares. It is a very famous appetizer in …
Lay’s Kettle Cooked Potato Chips
There was once a time when Doritos, Ruffles, and Pringles ruled my snacking and/or lunching experience. But over time, I began to be drawn to more natural flavors and textures. Suddenly chips with too much salt or seasoning weren’t that appealing to me. I think the …
Tostitos Creamy Spinach Dip
During one of our house parties my mom and I really had a hard time deciding what to serve our guests. The guests were mostly in their 20s and they wanted to drink alcohol after eating dinner. We served them some fried chicken, pasta and some pizza but we …
Corona Beer
Corona beer is unique in the taste and other great thing is the smoothness of the beer. I normally drink five to six bottles of Corona beer at a stretch easily. However the liquor content of six percentages makes it well a light beer compared with many other brands. …
Century Tuna Hot and Spicy
I just love this Century Tuna Hot and Spicy. It is very healthy and its good in the heart. Everybody in the family love this. We are not only using this as partner in our rice during meal time. We also ate this to make tuna sandwich. Before …
IBARAKU Milk COFFEE
By the coffee’s name IBARAKU, you can directly associate it with Japan. But based on one of the Philippine’s local dialect, “BARAKU” means something grand or fully grown, which can be associated with something strong and active. But then, this coffee is not that strong by its name …
Food Club Sliced Bacon
My wife made pancakes the other day and, to go with it, cooked up some Food Club sliced bacon.
I love bacon and really appreciated the gesture. But, compared to other brands of bacon, I have to say the Food Club brand was a major disappointment. And, it’s really hard …
Great Value Fig Bars
The Great Value Fig Bars can be an addicting treat, but just because the bars are made with real fruit, doesn’t mean it’s safer to overindulge. While these fig bars might not be as loaded with sugar and artificial ingredients as some of the other stuff down the cookie …
Silver Palate Balsamic Vinaigrette
Silver Palate Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing is the perfect complement for a mixed salad of lettuce, red cabbage, radishes, carrots and tomatoes. However, persons who have made the acquaintance of this delicious salad topper may wish to know some basics about the processing of the product.
Even though …
Merry Pringles
I am a big fan of Pringles crisp. I eat the Pringle’s all the variety . I loved the cheese and onion and Original the best. The original one has salt with out the touch of any specific flavour in it. I can smell potatoes and taste of salt …
Smarties nestle
Nestle products are very famous and popular and almost everybody is fond of nestle products. Out of nestle products, smarties are the best, in my opinion. Smarties are chocolates and very tasty. I have enjoyed these brand of chocolates to a large extent. Smarties can be found in …
Fritos Corn Chips
I’ve been eating Fritos corn chips since I was a little girl. In fact, I can’t remember ever not eating Fritos. I used to love it when Mom put a little bag of Fritos in my sack lunch for school.
This salty corn snack just hits the …
Lactaid Fat Free Milk
Dairy is the key to a successful weight loss diet plan. I never liked milk while growing up. I never asked for it in any day from the time I stopped drinking milk as a kid until I reached 21. I was desperately trying to lose weight and I found …
Pringles Multigrain Crisps Creamy Ranch
Of the three Pringles multigrain flavors out right now, this is probably my least favorite, although really, it wasn’t too bad. What I didn’t care for was the ranch flavor of the chip. Now that might sound odd because why would I spend a dollar seventy five for a …
Funnel Cake at the Kiwanis Fair in Blue Ridge, Ga
Yesterday my 10 year old son and I decided to go to the local Kiwanis Fair here in Blue Ridge. While my brave warrior decided to go on all the rides, I decided to hang around and look for some good ole fattening fair food!
No sooner than this thought …
