I have tried many forms of hot chocolate mixes, including ‘from scratch’ with cocoa and adding milk, sugar and hot water. But this one is, by far, the most convenient, the tastiest and most versatile. I now buy the large 64 serving size, 1.8 kg, as it …

Aquafina - “pure water, pure taste”

I started drinking mineral water last year and, quite honestly, it didn’t grab me. I tried a few brands but I never understood the appeal. Then, I found this brand.

Diet Turbo Tea is the ultra caffeinated enery drink that you can pick up at any reputable health food store. Granted, regular tea has quite a bit of caffeine but this product packs quite a punch! Probably because it has guarana and ginseng tossed in as an added kick.
And …

I love gourmet breads, especially with cheese. I have tried many different kinds of Rye bread over the years, and have usually not liked them. Either the Rye bread had too strong a taste, or fell apart when I tried to use it. Then I bought Klosterbrot Monastery Rye …

I like eclairs, and one of my recent discoveries in that department is Poppies Belgian Mini Eclairs. A plastic box containing about 30 small, half-a-finger size eclairs costs $3.98. The eclairs are sold frozen, and they must be kept that way. When you want to use them, you just …

A friend introduced me to a new chocolate temptation: Lindor Truffles. This delicious chocolate candy comes in 3 varieties: dark, milk, and white chocolate.

It is also a nice portable snack - I like to grab one on my way out of the house to eat in the …

This 2004 California wine really packs a punch! This Pinot Noir is not bitter to the taste, but has a very high alcohol content for a red wine (13.5%). I suppose that is why it’s cheaper. At any rate, the wine has a sweet but woody …

Many of us have grown painfully accustomed to generic brands of gingerale that are essentially composed entirely of sugar, water, and molecules that may have once, at some point in their physical existence, resembled something that might have been classified as ginger.
Reed’s ginger ale (achohol-free), though slightly more expensive, …

Dreyer’s Dibs bite sized ice cream snacks are delicious! They are vanilla with chocolate on the covering, and come in bite sized pieces. There are 26 pieces in the little red soft container and taste like having bon bons.

I recently purchased bag of Skittle that contined a special limited edition Strawberry Ice Cream Flavored Candy. I was a little skeptical about ehtehr or not the candy would in fact taste like Ice cream. I think that it does. A lot of “ice cream” flavored candy tends …

I just bought a new type, for me, water drink called Life Water, from Safeway. I must say that the fruit tastes are much stronger than those in Propel Bottled health water, or in PowerAde. If you are one who prefers a stronger taste of the fruit in your …

I seen the Nestea Zero commercial on T.V., and it stated that it had no calories and no sugar, and that it tasted the same as the original Nestea. I really didn’t think I would like it the first time I tried it. But I finally gave it a …

The peanut butter kit-kat is the latest in their ‘chunky’ range. Having tried all the other flavours I felt it was my duty to sample this new one.
What I like most about chunky kit-kats is the amount of chocolate on them and the peanut butter kit-kat is no …

What’s not to like about Honey Bunches of Oats cereal? I love it! We bought Almond and Strawberry and both are delicious! The Strawberry was a little sweeter than the almond, but a bowl of half and half is amazing.

When it comes to endulging in a wonderfully authentic-seeming Italian cookie, Nonni’s Biscotti can’t be beat!
Although they are made either with one edge dipped in chocolate or not, I definitely prefer the chocolate for the additional flavor layer and texture it provides. Crunchy and hard with toasted almond slivers, …

Recently at a wedding I was served what I later found out was Yellowtail brand Chardonnay. When I first sipped it, I thought it was flat champagne (bad comparison) because it had somewhat of a “bite” even though it wasn’t sparkling. The wine wasn’t sweet, but was …

When my baby turned one and was ready to drink whole milk, I found that she really didn’t take to it. Since she had already weaned herself, I found YoBaby drinkable yogurt a great way to provide her with whole milk until she accepted regular whole milk. I also …

I looked in my mailbox one day last week and was delighted to find a small package. Like the song from “Sound of Music” says, “brown paper packages tied up with string” are among my favorite things.
The package contained Nestle’s Stixx, which was a new product launched in …
