Ackee and Saltfish
“Ackee and Saltfish” is my country’s national dish. I am unsure of it being like any other dish in other countries hence I think it is unique to only my country. I was told that the ackee fruit originated from West Africa in the days when Africans were brought …
Nestle Cerelac Baby Cereal
My daughter just adores Cerelac Baby Cereal in wheat banana flavor! the first time she tasted it, she just could not get enough of it! I am really so happy and proud that my daughter really loves eating her first solid food. At least now I have an alternative …
Del Monte Ketchup Original Blend
Fried food for me like fried chicken, ham, egg or burger patty is best eaten with ketchup. I only used Del Monte Ketchup Original Blend and never used the cheaper brand my family and me are accustomed of having. When I started to work, I as well started buying …
Pascual Funciona Tropical
The first time I heard about a drink that combines juice and milk I felt sceptical about it. Since I was a kid I was always told not to mix juice and milk. However, one day a friend treated me to one, and I decided to try it.
This product …
Gardenia Wheat Bread
Bread is always part of breakfast. Of course, when there is extraordinary bread for sure there is an amazing breakfast. It only happens when my mother serve Gardenia Wheat Bread. For five years, we are eating breakfast with Gardenia and it never fails to give us high quality bread …
Dairy Milk Caramel Nubbles
These little bits of Chocolate haven’t been out all that long. I can’t say how long they have been out, perhaps 6 months or so. I tried them when they first came out and they are really nice.
I like the Cadbury’s brand and like Cadbury’s Caramel. It is quite …
Stouffer’s Meatloaf
Stouffer’s Meatloaf is not a dinner that I will be purchasing a second time. The reason I will not be purchasing it again is because I was not all that satisfied with the flavor of the meatloaf. I found the meatloaf to have a relatively dull and bland taste …
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Cheesy Meatball Rigatoni
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Cheesy Meatball Rigatoni is quite a flavorful meal that I enjoy for the most part. About the only thing that I do not very much like about this meal are the meatballs. The meatballs simply are not very tasty. Perhaps it is because I like …
Tesco Pure Apple, Mango and Lime juice
I’ve tried this Tesco Pure Apple, Mango and Lime juice when one time I bought something as part of the preparation for my sons’ birthday party. Although I’ve got some other drinks like fizzy drinks but I thought that maybe there are some guest who are a bit …
McDonald Quirino Taft
The McDonald at Quirino Avenue corner Taft (City of Manila) is the place where I and my office-mates mostly buy our food because there are no other fast-foods located near our office other than this one. When I am craving for pancake in the morning, I’d go straight to …
Starbucks Doubleshot Energy Drinks in White Chocolate
I can’t say that I am a huge Starbucks fan. It isn’t that they have bad coffee, but rather than there are so many choices and they are just a little too expensive for me to justify frequenting their cafes on a regular basis. However, there are times when …
Boston market chicken, broccoli and cheese casserole
Because of my previous–and great–experience with my last Boston Market frozen dinner purchase, I decided to purchase another one from my local super Wal-Mart and this one was one of my favorites: Chicken, broccoli and cheese casserole. I have eaten plenty of Marie Callender’s’ chicken, broccoli and cheese casseroles; …
Milky Way Midnight Candy Bar
Well, the truth is, I just don’t like dark chocolate and that’s the main thrust behind the Milky Way Midnight Candy Bar. It’s not a big guess then to understand that my vote is a big time nay on this variation of the regular Milky Way bar, which …
Safeway’s Gooey Butter Cake
I recently purchased Gooey Butter Cake in Safeway’s Bakery and I am glad I did. This “cake” is truely addicting! Although, I don’t know that I would classify it as cake. I am one of those people who can’t stand hard or dry food, especially when it comes to …
Toaster Scrambles
I recently bought a box of Pillsbury Toaster Scrambles for our house, figuring they would be a quick breakfast that would hopefully be both filling and great tasting.
Well, after trying them the past couple of days, I can honestly say it only got one of the three right.
First of …
Primo Hot and Spicy Pasta Sauce
I’ll admit, I used to be a Ragu person. I thought there could be no better pasta sauce in a jar than Ragu (although I did on occasion buy Classico, but it was a tad more expensive).
Primo’s Hot and Spicy Pasta Sauce, though, is an excellent treat. …
Bob’s Blueberry Candy Canes
Bob’s Blueberry Candy Canes aren’t that new, at least I don’t think they are. I found them at a drugstore in my area and decided to grab a box for my nieces and nephews. I thought they would make a cute addition to the top of my presents. One …
How I cook pizza at home

2 glasses of flour
One glass of warm water
8 gr of rapid rise yeast
1/2 tea spoon of salt
2 spoons of olive or seed oil
Put the flour into the bowl, …
Russell Stover Marshmallow & Caramel heart
One of the many Valentine’s Day treats on sale in 2010 is the Russell Stover Marshmallow & Caramel heart. I purchased this for 59 cents the other day. For me, that is a high price, but sometimes I think we need to treat ourselves. Russell Stover …
Lemonhead Candy
I have been eating Lemonhead candy for years. Ever since I was a kid I loved to sit and chew on those yellow balls of goodness. It wasn’t enough for me to eat them in the morning. I had to eat them in the evening and at night. Boy, …
Cadbury Wunderbar
Every so often I run across a candy bar that I can’t find anywhere in the US normally. One such incident occurred recently when I found myself the proud recipient of the Cadbury Wunderbar. This bar is fairly popular in the UK and Germany as well as other parts …
Skillet Masters boxed dinners
I love Hamburger Helper, at least most kinds of it. But, I don’t like paying full price for it so I end up looking for cheaper boxed dinners instead.
This search recently led me to Skillet Masters dinners and I was able to give them a try last night.
Overall, I …
Nestle Butterfinger Singles
Yesterday I was in the candy lane at Walmart, trying to decided what type of candy I wanted. There were some of my favorites, Hersey Kisses, and Reese’s Peanut Butter cups. Well, I don’t do this often, but yesterday I did. I went out on a limb and bought …
Food Club Snack Crackers
I had to pick up some snacks for my daughter’s kindergarten class this past weekend (it was our turn). Since I had to buy for 31 kids, I didn’t want to spend too much money and ultimately ended up buying a box of snack crackers from the brand Food …
Coca-cola
Coca-cola is one of the most famous brands in the world, thanks to mass-advertising. Just about anywhere in the world you go, you can find something Coca-cola related. However, just because it’s famous, is Coca-cola really the best cola brand in the world?
My answer is no. The price already …
Hannaford Cola Drinks
So, last week we were in our local grocery store and my notice the brand named cola drinks were way more than we wanted to pay. So, instead we decide to try the Hannaford Cola and it tasted pretty good. It was less money and taste just like cola …
Seleco Big Bite Roasted Crispy Seaweed Topped with Crispy Fish
Just today, my grandmother gave all of us (her grandchildren) some 65-gram packs of Seleco Roasted Crispy Seaweed topped with Crispy Fish. I am normally not a fan of seaweed snacks especially non-wasabi flavored ones, but this one is really, really good and is one of the best …
Jeno’s Pizza Rolls
I have eaten these since high school! They are under 3 dollars and are tasty! They’re like a pizza rolled up into a bite sized thingy. They can be found at any grocery store and if you ask any college student about them they will know. I think these …
Great Value Sparkling Water (Tangerine Lime)
I have never been a fan of water, so I have always looked for flavoured water because I like the taste a lot more than average tap or bottled water.
I was walking around Wal-Mart when I found the Great Value Tangerine Lime 1 litre bottle. And it was only …
Stonyfield Farms Organic Low Fat Banilla Yogurt
I love yogurt and I love anything Banana. Vanilla is another one of my favorite flavors so when I saw that Stonyfield Farms makes a Banilla Yogurt, I simply had to try it. Obviously Banilla means banana and vanilla flavored. It tastes exactly like that. …
Stouffer’s Swedish Meatballs w/ Egg Noodles (frozen dinner)
Swedish meatballs are wonderful. I’ve made them several times and have really fallen in love with the recipe. I decided to try Stouffer’s version of the meal and see what it’s frozen entrée had to offer. I was pleased with the flavor. …
Arizona Golden Bear Lemonade with Strawberry Beverage
I was given the opportunity to try Arizona Golden Bear Lemonade with Strawberry one evening when my older sister came over with a variety of products she spotted at her neighborhood grocery store. Usually she picks up a can or two of the original Arizona tea, but this time …
Maggi Coconut milk powder mix
I recently found this very cool product Maggi coconut mix in the supermarket which can be a very good alternative to the coconut powder placed in cans and bottles because it is not only very easy to use and I don’t have to worry using a can opener but …
The Co-operative Cheese and Onion Quiche
I got a bargain today because I managed to buy one of The Co-operative’s own brand cheese and onion quiche for only 63p because it was nearly out of date, but I have 24 hours to eat it which should not be a problem. Usually, they retail at …
Gatorade
I live in a hot tropical country. It is very important to hydrate my body all the time especially during hot summer days. A good beverage to have is Gatorade. It is healthy and not bad for the body unlike sodas. This product has evolved over the years. It …
Francisco Round Sourdough Bread
Francisco Breads are another tasty option for great breads. It’s a product my family has enjoyed for a number of years. Like one of its biggest competitors, Colombo, it’s never let us down. It’s been fresh, delicious, and great tasting every single time.
What is unique about …
Raley’s Fine Bakery Bells, Stars, and Tree Cookies
As it sounds from the title, Raley’s Fine Bakery Bells, Stars, and Tree Cookies were for the Christmas holidays. They come on a tray with a large plastic covering. Now in the first place, it’s nearly impossible to keep them fresh in that container, so the cookies …
Morton’s Sea Salt (Coarse Salt)
I love salty food, and I buy a lot of different salts. This is one, though, that I have found isn’t that great on the food after it is prepared. The only exception is for pretzels. It really is great for those. For other foods, …
Kopiko Kopiccino Instant Coffee
I have fond of 3-in-1 coffee and my favorite is Brown Coffee from Kopiko. Now, Kopiko made another type of instant coffee that people will get indulge surely. The flavor this time is cappuccino. Coffee is my constant companion during late nights that I need to do some of …
Eagle Brand Sweetend condensed milk
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 …
Taco Bell Spicy Chicken Soft Taco
I think the Spicy Chicken Soft Taco from taco is pretty good. I don’t think it is the greatest taco that they have but it’s pretty good. The Chicken they use in the taco is pretty good. If you put some hot sauce on it, it will taste just great. …
Crystal Light Energy - On the Go
Crystal Light is one of the best things to have happened to the beverage market in the last couple of decades. I’ve yet to be disappointed in any of their products.
The latest is their Crystal Light Energy On the Go packages. This is the absolute most convenient …
Sweetzels Spiced Wafer cookies
Sweetzels Spiced Wafer cookies were something I had the chance to try recently when I spent a couple of days at my parent’s house. They usually keep a few different types of cookies and candies on hands for the grandchildren and these were one of the new things they …

Russell Stover Sugar Free Pecan Delights
Everyone assumes diabetics don’t get to eat candy. According to most nutrition specialists, none of us should be eating much candy. Well I found Russell Stover candy. It doesn’t have that diet tanginess we all hate. These pecan delights are scrumptious. No, you cannot …
Sunshine Butter Rolls
Do you sometimes find that you don’t feel like having breakfast in the morning? Bread and jam does not appeal to you, and neither does egg and ham. Whenever I feel this way, I will buy Sunshine Butter Rolls.
What I really like about the butter rolls is the rich and …
Cadbury Bournvita
Cadbury Bournvita now comes as new Bournvita with superchargers, containing vital nutrients which gives stamina and concentration. Ofcourse one can relish the chocolate flavour of Bournvita. I always used to have the feeling that we should not stop with just one particular drink or flavour for children, …
Pillsbury Cherry Turnovers
I have just tried making Pillsbury Cherry Turnovers for the first time, and I think it’s a keeper. My husband and I loved them, even though I had messed up a little when cooking.
Unlike some other Pillsbury baking products I’ve tried, these cherry turnovers are not “heat and eat,” …
