Our youngest daughter absolutely loves cooked pasta. So, rather than just making her elbow macaroni or some other boring item like that, I decided to buy something different for her the other day; penne pasta. And, since the Reganno brand was the cheapest one available, that is the one …

I really like Italian food, especially a yummy filling lasagna with meat sauce. However, not only am I not much of a cook, but also I am the only one in my family who likes meat in their lasagna. Therefore, if I want to eat lasagna with …

I spotted these Mini Chocolate Brownies in Sainsbury’s and based on the picture of the brownies on the label, I just had to have them as they looked sumptuous. I associate Thorntons with delicious, luxurious chocolate products but I did not know they made brownies available in the …

My parents recently bought us a box of Great Value vanilla wafers. It was meant as an item to put in our daughter’s school lunches, but my wife and I eat them almost as much as she does; which is probably not such a bad thing because she has …

I have used Eagle Brand sweetend condensed milk for 30 years- yes I was a child cooking with my mother when it started and I think our favorite recipe was and still is the seven layer bars. For some reason my sister called them chippy dippys, I still dont …

I really was not all that impressed with Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Cheese Danish. The reason I was not impressed is because the blueberry flavor was not nearly as terrific as I had hoped that it would be. Although there was most certainly a blueberry flavor to the danish, the …

Not everyone though enjoys …
