I recently tasted Nonni’s Triple Cioccolati Biscotti and I have to say it’s very good. First of all, I like the way they packaged it; it looks very classy and tempting, and is definitely a delicious and sinful complement to coffee, although it is also good to eat …

I decided to make chili tonight for dinner because it has been extremely cold outside the past couple of days and I wanted something that would both warm us up and be a filling dinner for both today and the rest of the weekend (I don’t get paid for …

I buy a lot of items at Aldi’s grocery stores. Most are pretty good and, save me money. However, they have a frozen pizza line called Mama Cozzi that is really disappointing. In my 6 year old daughter’s opinion (which I value highly), the final verdict is “Eweeyuck!” I …

I discovered Epicurious completely by accident. I googled the Greek dish saganaki, which is deep-fried cheese, and one of the recipes that came up was on the website www.epicurious.com, and I have been referencing this site ever since for almost every new recipe I want to try. Both my …

We have grown up to learn that milk is really good for one’s health because it strengthens our bones. It is a good source of calcium so it doesn’t only make our bones strong but it also strengthens our teeth and our body muscle. Because I want to take …

Trying to eat healthy is sometimes a hard task to accomplish. Especially when our taste buds are craving something sweet. Which is why the Great Value brand of Diced Peaches fruit cups from Wal-Mart really surprised me. Not only was the product sweet, but it was affordable because it …

I wasn’t sure about getting Two-Bite Brownies but I had read a few reviews and they sounded pretty positive so when I went shopping at Sam’s Club recently, I took a chance on them. I really love brownies, but baking from scratch is something I used to do …

Sweet potato fries is a new concept to me because I’m so used to a sweet potato looking like a baked potato, only orange in color and sweet in taste. These fries offer me the chance to enjoy the great taste of a sweet potato in a new way, …

I purchased the lifesavers brand jelly beans for my daughter’s easter egg hunt last weekend. I was pleasantly surprised by this candy. I like life savers and have eaten them for 20 years but my chief complaint with them is how sticky and messy they are. …

My dear old grandmother used to always buy a bottle of this at Christmas and us kids would be allowed a glass to sip while we were watching Christmas television shows, so this drink really takes me back to that and it always reminds me of Christmas. Nevertheless, …

Jell-o Gelatin - Margarita is one of the select few gelatin flavors that I simply do not find enjoyable. Everything that a margarita drink is, this gelatin really is not, simply because it cannot be. Unlike many of the other gelatin flavors, which are derived or based off of …

I recently tried Alexia frozen sweet potato fries and I was very pleasantly surprised by them. I was looking for a good alternative to regular french fries that would provide some extra nutritional punch while still tasting good, and Alexia sweet potato fries fit the bill.
Just like regular …

Blue bonnet margarine is a great butter alterative for cooking I have found. I typically only use butter when I make baked good like cookies and cakes but recently was encouraged by a friend to give margarine a try. I have been pretty impressed with the quality I have …

Hi, I want to review a very good evening snack to u all and the name of that snack is Kurkure and it is a favourite snack in India for most of the kids who like to eat salty and a bit spicy snacks. I have tasted all …

Few months ago, I saw a store having a closing sale. Because I have a tight budget, I decided to visit the place and buy some things that I need at home. True, I was able to buy a lot of products like cosmetics, clothes and health products at …

My husband was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure, so that has caused me to have to shop for low sodium foods. He loves salty food. We were going to BBQ some steaks the other night and normally, I salt them with seasoning, but didn’t want to use the …

I am not the most avid vegetable eater, but like to try to get vegetable nutrients. I tried regular V8 and was highly disgusted at it’s high amount of tomato juice. I couldn’t enjoy it at all and figured I should try something more subtle. I saw the V8 …

This is a delicious Italian Side from Knorr! It’s got this very rich sauce that has a great triple flavor to it: the sauce has a mixture of lemon, garlic and butter! Each of the three flavors really stand out and complement one another pretty well. The garlic seasoning …

I find Entenmann’s 8 Glazed Buttermilk Donuts to be an enjoyable treat once and a great while. While these donuts are not quite as soft or fresh as the donuts sold individually in the cases, eight do come in a box and at a good value, too. Plus, the …

Vita Shake has been a lifesaver for me when it comes to fixing a healthy and quick breakfast in a hurry. It is so simple to make. You just put 12 ounces of water or soy milk in a blender. Then you open up the package of Vita Shake …

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 …

I was in one of my stingy modes when I went grocery shopping at the Gaisano Country Mall, Cebu City, Philippines this weekend. While looking at the freezer containing processed and preserved foods, I was struggling with myself on what breakfast food to buy.
I saw the Payless …

I’ve been eating Taco Bell Crunchy Tacos for years and years, and as time as gone by, my feelings about them have pretty much remained the same. When they’re good, they’re good, and when they’re off, it’s a big disappointment. Much of the problem occurs in the …

Nearly everyone likes chicken, but it takes so long to cook and not everyone has the time. Tyson’s Mesquite Flavored Chicken Breast Fillets are great for people in that position. The meat is extremely moist for breast meat and it’s all already pre-cooked. All you have …

So nothing special this time. Just the most popular peanut butter in the US. Maybe the second most popular, oк the third, I haven’t really checked the ratings. But for me, this is the best creamy peanut butter from the store so far. A few weeks ago I got on …

The Extra Fruit Sensations gum in Strawberry Banana is my absolute favorite gum in the world! It tastes amazing, just as sensation as the name says. The fruity but sweet taste is like heaven to my taste buds. I definitely recommend these; they’re so yummy. These are great to …

I love Pepsi Twist, what a splendid idea to add some lemon flavor to Pepsi! I used to make my own “twists” like that, adding a slice of lemon into my pop, so when I first saw a Pepsi Twist commercial I thought, “YEAH!! Just what I want!” I …

I am a coffee lover. I always drink coffee like three times a day. Before I used to get a creamer as a partner to my coffee. Because I just love the combination of these two. Good thing there is a ready mix of 3 in 1 coffee. I …

The L’oven Fresh Caramel Shortbread and Almond Sugar Cookies come in a circular platter at ALDI Food Market stores for three dollars and ninety-nine cents. The platter consists of two “sections”. There’s the outer, circular ring which is where the caramel shortbread cookies sit and then there’s an inner …

This is really the only juice product put out by the Florida’s Natural company that I didn’t care for very much. The reason I was somewhat disappointed with this fruit juice is because I simply couldn’t taste hardly any mango in the juice. It was almost like I was …

Cheesecake is one of my all time favorite desserts but it has to be a quality cheesecake or I will not buy it. I find a lot of cheesecakes to be a let down but this Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake from Tesco is delicious. I only recently discovered …

The Coffee bite is the name of the chocolate, which is also very different in taste unlike any other normal chocolates. Actually the coffee bite chocolate gives the real taste of the coffee. Those who love the have the coffee all the time, for such people the …

L’oven Fresh Hot Dog Buns retail for seventy-nine cents for eight at ALDI. I see that as a price that no other grocery store or supermarket can match, be it with the national brands or store brands, and seventy-nine cents is a regular, everyday low price at ALDI! I …

So, I recently got some Prego Roasted Garlic & Herb Pasta Sauce for my ziti pasta and I must say it was so tasty. The sauce wasn’t super garlicky tasting and the herbs tasted so fresh. It was thick and full of tomatoes too. Loved it.
The way I …

I love cake and brownies, but I live alone so it’s often a bad idea to cok a whole pan of browniess. I either can’t eat them all, or I try to eat them all which is a slo a horrible idea. Betty Crocker has just come out with …

I have chewed the Orbit Professional Spearmint gum and found it to be very refreshing. Please let me share my positive experience with you.
Please let me start this review by saying that I like the taste of this chewing gum. I have felt that the gum has a strong …

Unlike the pineapple and blackberry varieties of the Hostess pies, this strawberry variety is unfortunately a lot more like the apple and cherry varieties. That means that the filling, in my opinion, is not as authentic and rich as it should be. It has an artificial flavor to it …

Nasi Padang is a local dish that actually rumored to be originated from Padang, Indonesia. When I’m like super hungry and looking for a real sumptuous meal, I would go for this dish or what it’s called here, ‘Nasi Padang Set Meal.’
But one thing’s not so nice is that …

These dried plums are much better than the dried apricots that are also made by the “Made in Nature” company because the quality is consistently good. The plums are always dried thoroughly through, leaving nothing behind but a tasty, chewy plum. It’s wonderful that they’re already pitted, so …

The first time I heard about the instant drink “Tang” was quite a few years ago in the nineteen nineties. I can remember that at the time the colour of the packet it came in was black and green and the only flavour which I knew they had was …

Being a true-blue chocolate lover, I was excited to try this new flavor from Selecta’s ice cream selection. I bought the 800ml pint of Choco Almond Fudge for only approximately $2.80, and with that price it’s really not that expensive for something that 2 persons can share to, maybe …

I enjoy cheese and crackers for lunch often. It may not be a four course meal but it satisfies me for hours. I’ve looked at ways to make this the healthiest meal I can and therefore have tried all sorts of crackers and cheeses. One thing …

I really do not know what to think about this natural sugar alternative. The makers claim that Stevia is used in its manufacture, but to be honest, I don’t think it is used, or if it is, it is used in extremely minute quantities. Stevia has a distinctive bitter …

Leona’s is a locally owned bakeshop popular in Cebu City. When my mom wanted to bring me there to buy some locally made pastries and bread, I wasn’t too excited. But when we got there, I understood why she wanted to go.
I bought Leona’s Apple Walnut cake slice. For …

Ice cream has gotten really expensive and many of the brands have reduced the size of the container, yet still charge the old price. Since we have been shopping at the new Super-Wal-Mart that opened in the community I have been trying out their generic brands with the label …

I love these Hawaiian Punch Singles! I wouldn’t say they’re the same as the regular hawaiian punch, but the flavor is close enough. To be precise, these are the fruit punch, but Hawaiian Punch has these in several other varieties as well. They come …

When I am dieting, I always stock up on crackers so that when I get hungry, I will at least have a somewhat nutritious alternative to junk food. For the longest time, I relied on Skyflakes crackers, a locally manufactured crackers which can be easily paired with anything. Recently …

Another favorite chocolate candy treat is the Baby Ruth Candy Bar. I actually learned to love this better the older I’ve become. As a kid, it was more a favorite of my mother’s. It’s one she enjoyed quite a bit. I liked it, but just …
