Dunkin Donuts now offers a more gourmet coffee for those of us, like me, who need that extra shot or two of espresso in with their already turbo caffinated coffee! I was absolutely dying to try one of their lates, and I finally got the chance earlier today. …

This is by far the best canned tuna fish I have ever purchased. It’s on the expensive side — the can I have is stamped $1.98, but I’m sure I didn’t pay that much. You can often get it on sale for $1.00 to $1.25 a can, which isn’t …

When I came across the Sundae Shoppe Lemon and Watermelon Italian Ice at my neighborhood ALDI Food Market, it caught my attention. Not because the price was good, either, at one dollar and ninety-nine cents for a package of six frozen dessert cups, although that certainly did catch my …

Remember those ads on tv in the early 90’s for PopTarts? They basically said that PopTarts were a complete breakfast. Of course I never believed it. Well, I wouldn’t rely soley on Eggo BakeShop Swirlz for breakfast to get me through the day. However, it’s excellent as brunch, a …

I have a favourite pepper sauce or hot sauce but recently it was sold out and I was making a dish which absolutely needs to have pepper sauce added into it for it to taste any good! Besides, I love my foods spicy! but I hardly ever cook them …
