Spinach Soup
Yummy to Spinach Soup totally. Not only this soup is nutritious, I also find that the taste is pretty airy and light and gives a fast full reaction in my stomach. The idea of this combined with some bread to dip in is also quite enticing.
Normally, if I …
Happy Harvest Kidney Beans
I made chili last night and realized I was out of kidney beans. Since my parents were actually closer than the store was, I figured I would just stop by their house and borrow a couple cans.
They had the brand Happy Harvest; a cheaper brand I know they buy …

Marks & Spenser 10 Snacktime Assortment
To be honest, I never really thought much about house brand products. I love Marks & Spenser clothing items but never paid attention to their tit bit and food section.

Sprite Soda
The Coca-Cola company has what I believe to be the closest competitor to its very popular and successful 7-Up competitor. Sprite Soda is a reasonable alternative to 7-Up, and its presence in various restaurants would seem to back that up. For many, the two are interchangeable.
Sprite Soda …
Salemi Deli (Robinsons Metro East)
My boy friend and I just love eating sausages. Well actually, believe it or not, we even had sausage for breakfast for almost 2 weeks. We just enjoy munching on German sausages, but we all know that German sausage is pretty pricey.
Thank goodness, Salemi Deli has a branch …
Nature’s Own: Blueberry Pre-Sliced Bagels
I used to purchase Nature’s Own: Blueberry Pre-Sliced Bagels fairly regularly until I came across Sara Lee: Deluxe Blueberry Bagels. The reason I stopped purchasing these once I started purchasing the Sara Lee bagels is because they did not have as many blueberries baked into the bagels as the …
Laphroaig Malt Whisky
In Gaelic, the language of the people who once occupied the greater part of the kingdom, —˜whisky’ means —˜the water of life’ and the effect of a good whisky on a glum person can be quite interesting. There are some of us in Scotland who may be considered to …
Amy’s Complete Frozen Enchilada Dinner
Being vegan it makes it hard to find a good old fashion TV dinner. I know that it is better to prepare fresh homemade meals, but sometimes it is nice to have something you can pop in the oven, without any thought.
I often keep Amy’s Enchilada frozen meals …

Baker’s Dipping Milk Chocolate (Microwavable)
Baker’s dipping milk chocolate is the exact same as the dipping white chocolate. Even though I had a hard time microwaving the white chocolate, the chocolate itself was wonderful, so I decided to give the milk chocolate a try. I was trying to do a homemade knockoff of edible …
Archer Farms Muesli Cereal
A few days ago I bought a container of this cereal from Target. I say container because it does not come in a box but in an oval stiff-sided contraption with a hard plastic lid. I admit to being attracted to the image of the cereal on the front …
Jamaican Orange Juice Bag Juice
There are a lot of bag orange juice and fruit juice brands around the island, and even more brands of just plain bag drink. Therefore, I was not surprised on one Saturday when I ordered a bag orange juice and found out that it was a brand I had …
Crystal Canyon Sparkling Apple-Pear
The label on this delicious beverage describes it as appropriate for a “champagne occasion — without the alcohol.” As I write this, my better half is scarfing down a saucer of pear wedges over which he has poured a shot of this sparkling treat, and he …
Chick-fil-A Fruit Cup
The Fruit Cup side dish at Chick-fil-A is really quite enjoyable! This fruit cup is positively overflowing with fresh and flavorful fruit that makes of a scrumptious afternoon snack. I like to order this side dish and then save it for later in the day - maybe three hours …
Orbit Gum:Wrigley’s Best Product

PayDay Candy Bar
PayDay Candy Bars make me think back and remember my childhood. It’s a weird kind of symbol of happy family times. No, my family didn’t sit around eating PayDay Candy Bars, but they were one of my mom’s favorites, and I loved them, too.
PayDay Candy Bars are …
Maruchan Yakisoba Noodles Shrimp Flavor

Jollibee Hotdog (Bacon and Mushroom Tops)
I just bought today Jolly Hotdog. I saw from advertisement on television that their Jolly Hotdog is back, with new flavors. Now it is available in Classic, Chili, and Bacon and Mushroom Tops.
Actually, Jollibee is my favorite fastfood restaurant here in the Philippines. I believe it has franchise stores …
Pepperidge Farm Ginger Man Home Style Cookies
Little gingerbread man cookies are almost as closely associated with Christmas as the candy cane is, or perhaps equally so, so it’s no wonder that this type of Christmas cookie commonly appears in holiday movies and in kitchens across the world come the Christmas season. Not everyone though enjoys …
Yoplait Whips Key Lime Pie
I have never been a huge fan of yogurt. I find it to have a bad after taste and something about thinking about eating live cultures grosses me out. I have tried time and time again to eat it because it is so good for you. …
Kallo Whole Earth Organic Classic Cornflakes breakfast cereal
These corn flakes are a bit of an unusual choice if you, like me, are generally the sort of person who sticks to either the supermarkets’ own brands or the traditional fall back of Kellogg’s. They are also fairly expensive, with my local Sainsbury’s supermarket selling only a smallish …
Hinano Tahiti Beer
I just love the taste of Hinano Tahiti Beer! I have to admit that I did not enjoy it the first time I was offered one and tried it because the person who gave it to me drinks his beer at room temperature - go figure! So, …
Diet Dr. Thunder Soda
While I do like the classic drink that is Dr. Pepper, sometimes it can be just a little too sweet for me, even in diet form, which has the notorious “diet soda aftertaste.” One day, when the local Wal-Mart was out of Dr. Pepper, I decided to give …
Ener-G-Foods Wylde Sesame Pretzels Rings

Bel Air Mega Sub
Bel Air’s deli has a bunch of different sandwiches to choose from, but their granddaddy has to be their Mega Sub. This thing is positively huge, and it is definitely far more than one person can eat, or at least, that’s my take on it. For it …
Weigh 2 Go
I buy many things in the bulk section of my grocery store-pasta, seeds, baking supplies, rice, candy (particularly gummy bears), raisins, nuts, dried fruit and berries, and sometimes even granola and dried cereal. I find that the quality is generally almost as good, with most stores and items anyway, …
Samosa Noodle Rolls
Samosa Noodle Rolls is quite a weird side-dish, if you look at it closely. However, the taste is quite nice and mix in some ketchup sauce and you are ready to dip in nicely.
To make this, you need some basic stuffs only and not that hard. …
Smart Ones Fettucini Alfredo frozen entree
Associated with the Weight Watchers weight loss program, the Smart Ones frozen entrees are, in my opinion, some of the tastiest frozen entrees around — at least when comparing those that have reduced fat and calorie counts. If you are on the Weight Watchers weight loss program, another …

For anyone who doesn’t know, a reposado tequila is sort of the middle grounds in terms …
Milo Energy Drink
The Philippines is a tropical country. The weather here is very unpredictable. There are times that during summer, the rain falls heavily. There are also times that a when a typhoon hits the city, the sun shines brightly. That I can say is “only in the Philippines”.

Filipino Adobo
Rice is the staple food in the Philippines. And what goes perfectly with rice? I’d say adobo. It’s a native Filipino dish which is basically just meat (chicken or pork) cooked to simmer in a mixture of soy sauce and vinegar as well as some seasoning. Preparing it is …
Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Garlic Bread Pepperoni Pizza
Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Garlic Bread Pepperoni Pizza sells for just two dollars and ninety-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. It’s a twelve inch pizza. I suppose for the amount of money I paid for this pizza, it was acceptable, but I didn’t enjoy it all that much. …
Healthy Choice French Bread Pizza

Hormel Beef Roast

Marie Callender’s Pecan Pie

But recently when I bought a whole pie and ate it at home, …

Dollar Tree Bakery Fresh Molasses Cookies
I’ve only come across these cookies at the Dollar Tree. They sell a couple different varieties, and they’re all pretty good. Molasses cookies tend to be really chewy because of, well, the molasses. These cookies are no exception. They are indeed very chewy, and they are especially good when …
