For decades, I’ve used various versions of Ore-Ida potatoes. I think my first love was their crinkle fries. Now, though, I’ve tried out another variety, and it’s become my favorite thus far. Ore-Ida Steak Fries are thick cut potatoes. The package describes them as being …

I love this chocolate spread. I eat this often during breakfast and afternoon tea. It comes to the rescue everytime I crave for something sweet in between meals. I love this on my toast, pancake, pan de sal (breakfast bun), crackers, and even on a filo …

Sunshine Snacks is a popular local brand for snack foods and one of their products is Corn Chips. This snack comes in a very light .28g package. This is not surprising since the chips themselves are pretty light but also very crispy. Since it is so small it is …

I’ve only seen Mr. Pudding pudding products at ALDI, and I think I know why: they just aren’t that good. I wasn’t impressed with the vanilla pudding, and the same can be said for the chocolate pudding, too. Four cups come in a pack and each cup is three …

I have enjoyed Batchelors Super Noodles since I was a kid, although I am convinced there is probably not much nutritional value to them. The other thing about them is that they are not very filling and I am sure to be hungry again an hour after having …

Stouffer’s Grilled Chicken Teriyaki is not bad. Not bad at all. The grilled chicken most definitely has an exceptional flavor to it, plus, the grilled chicken is quite tender, as well. Along with the chicken, there is white rice. Unfortunately, the white rice has little flavor, really, but what …

McDonalds is known for their greasy, unhealthy food, and their trademark double cheeseburger is no different. It is made with two hamburger patties, two slices of American cheese, a few pickles, some diced onion, and ketchup, between two standard buns. It sounds like any other American cheeseburger, but it’s …

Taco Bell has come out with what they are calling Cantina tacos, which come in two soft corn tortillas doubled up, with cilantro and onions as well as a lime wedge. The fast food restaurant offers three meat choices - carnitas (marinated pork), steak, and chicken. For …

Eating cereals is good for your body, but I only like the ones specifically for kids, as the ones for adults usually don’t taste great. To tell you the truth, I only liked the ones specifically for kids until I tried the cereal bars from Kellog’s Special K.
I’m not …

The Maggie cuppa mania is a product which is seen recently. It is another kind of interesting food product from the manufacturers of Maggie noodles. I have tasted all kinds of Maggie noodles such as the Maggie rice mania, Maggie veg palaw and the normal Maggie noodles. …

I’m not a vegetarian but I do enjoy the odd vegetarian meal as a bit of variety. I’ve tried other kinds of veggie burgers and have been most impressed with the Kirkland Garden Burgers. These do not have tofu in them, which to me is one of …

I remember several years ago when Barni cakes came in our stores that a commercial was on TV every few seconds. Now I do not see their commercials anymore. I must say that it never even crossed my mind to buy these cakes until a few days ago there were …

Previously, I’ve reviewed other varieties of the new Jimmy Dean Breakfast Entrees, and today I’m adding a new one to the list — the Ham and Cheese Croissant. When Jimmy Dean gets a product right, it’s usually dead on right and so yummy. When they get it …

I usually don’t like sweet cereals, but I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I bought it because it was on sale, and because my teenage granddaughter likes it. She visits pretty regularly, especially in the summer when school is out. Besides, it’s from General Mills, a company …

KurKure is another snack, which is very light and crispy. And the different flavourers of kurkure are good and spicy. Particularly the tasty and tangy imli flavour of the kurkure is my favourite. We can also make the very interesting recipe using the tomato, cucumber and …

I thought this would be good because I love white chocolate and I wasn’t disappointed. My main problem is that this type of toffee is so hard to find. I actually had to have a family member ship me some just so I could try it and then I …

I don’t really enjoy chocolates as much as I enjoy potato chips. But I craved for a chocolate one time and the only available was the Nips chocolate by Jack and Jill. It is a local version of the M & M’s. It is much cheaper; it is only …

Hot Pockets are some really great snacks. I have been eating these for years now, and I must say I really do enjoy them. These things are really cool, they not only look good but they taste good as well. One thing I like about them is that they …

Now here is a simple yet scrumptious sandwich that I love to order at Chick-fil-A. The Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich is a very simple sandwich, yet the flavor it offers and its size are two factors that make this simple sandwich a winner in my eyes and stomach! This chicken …

Malt-O-Meal Honey and Oat Blenders with Almonds is probably one of my favorite breakfast cereals and snack foods. It’s a relatively simple cereal, consisting of honey-flavored wheat and corn flakes, almonds and granola, but simple can, at times, be very enjoyable, as this cereal proves! Rather than spend more …

While running errands one day, I stopped off at Target’s in-store Lunch Counter for a quick meal. I’ve eaten there in the past on occasion, but I hadn’t been there for several months. They used to serve French fries and a tasty chicken breast sandwich, but that is long …

While I was on vacation in Helen, Georgia, we went to the Nora Mill Granary located just south of Helen in the Sautee-Nacoochee Valley district. This is actually a historic stone grinding that opened in 1876. The mill is right on the Chattahoochee River and it is …

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; …

I have been growing Cinnamon Basil for about a year now. It is wonderful, wonderful stuff. It grows readily from seed, and once it gets going, it is hard to stop. Plants will begin to flower within about a month and a half or so, and the purple flower …

Ribena is a popular juice drink available in almost every grocery store and supermarkets here in Singapore. It is also a choice of drink for kids.

I had bought Newman’s Own Organics Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cups a while back. Not sure how long, but it was at least 5 months because I had moved since then and misplaced them. I had never before tasted them; this was the first and only time I …

I am both in awe and very frightened of this product. It is a dairy product you do not need to refrigerate. Why doesn’t it need to be refrigerated? I have no idea but I assume it means they did something to process it to make it …

There really is not anything all that remarkable about Entenmann’s 8 Rich Frosted Donuts. They are simply chocolate frosted donuts with a yellow cake interior. Simple is not necessarily a bad thing if the simple ingredients result in a tasty treat, but in this particular instance, simple is not …

Well, this sandwich has grilled chicken slices that are surrounded by crushed broccoli and black pepper …

I’m always looking for low priced groceries that my family will actually eat. I also look for convenience items to keep on hand because of our busy schedules during the day. So I thought we’d try cereal bars to prevent being late for appointments or just a quick snack. …

When it comes to ice cream I am very picky. I guess that’s because I got used to Italian ice creams and rarely the aren’t of an excellent quality. I like creamy ice creams that don’t taste like water, where you can’t feel small pieces of ice. For that reason …

I am always looking for other juices to purchase from the grocery store for my two children. After trying many of the juices on the market I have come to a problem of running out of things to offer my children that are new or different. Everyone gets a …

would …

Normally, I have been against the changes that have been made with the beloved Oreo cookie. But, there was no way I couldn’t try the new berry burst ice cream flavor Oreos. They were a refreshing change from the usual Oreo flavors that I haven’t enjoyed. It is a …

I am not generally a huge fan of fruit scented soaps, but Fruitapone Plus Harmony Fruity Soap has proven to be an exception to my rule. I bought this package of three soaps at my local grocery store for $2.99CDN.
What attracted me to this soap was the great scent …

A healthy lifestyle, this is what I promised to myself after I resigned from work. I am beginning to take care of my wellness now. I learn that more than the financial needs it is more important to take care of our health. When I was still a full …
