Readers of my reviews will know that I’ve slowly been experimenting by trying out the various Hormel Compleats lineup of products. As a whole, I’ve enjoyed the meals, even though I see room for improvement on just about all of the them. Teh latest variety that I’ve …

I like this sandwich cookie from Jack n’ Jill called Dewberry. From my first taste of Blueberries n’ Cream, I have never grown tired of this itty-bitty snack. It is a cookie with this yummy blueberry and cream filling in the middle. Each packet contains only two cookies but …

I was surprised by the flavor and aroma offered by Classic Chocolate Cacao Reserve by Hershey’s Drinking Cocoa, and not in a good way. I thought coming from a company like Hershey’s, a company that is known for its chocolate, that this cocoa would be positively delicious. What I …

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 …

I think Mrs. Freshley’s Iced Honey Bun is my favorite of the honey bun variety line, although admittedly, it is a pretty sweet variety due to the sweet iced glaze that covers the honey bun. The iced glaze is quite rich and tasty though! The honey bun itself is …

I was in the mood for a frozen treat for dessert the other day and needed something everyone in my family would eat without spending too much money (I don’t get paid until next week and our bank account is getting a bit low).
After looking around the freezer section …

Well I wil say the good stuff first. I appreciate the Glaceau Vitamin Water people for the fact that they don’t use high fructose corn syrup to sweeten their beverages. It is one of the cheapest and most overused sweeteners as of today. Many kids are becoming allergic because …

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 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 …

Captain Morgan is a favorite run of my family’s. My husband, father and step-father especially enjoy it. If I am going to have a spiced rum, then I will definitely choose this rum. I am not a fan of rums without flavor but absolutely love flavored …

I am always looking for new meat-free foods to give my kids that will also be acceptable to their friends. Gardein products are getting a lot of publicity so I thought I’d give them a try. My first choice was the Seven Grain Crispy Tenders. I …

I was browsing through my neighborhood discount grocery store, in the beverage selection. Usually they have a lot of low cost items from different brands that I have either previously used or would like to possibly try. Items that I wouldn’t normally buy at the full price in the …

I’ve eaten Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes since I was a little kid. My parents raised me on Kellogg’s cereal, and this one has always been my favorite. Whether Tony the Tiger had something to do with it, I don’t know, but the taste of the crunchy corn flakes …

While visiting the U.S.A. recently, I stopped in at one of the Johnny Rockets diners for lunch one day. Johnny Rockets diners have the theme of a classic American restaurant that has a very cool vibe and friendly staff. It makes you feel as though you are …

When family and friends come over for a visit and will be staying for a little bit, I like to have a nice variety of snacks in the house for them to enjoy. Tortilla chips is one of those snacks that goes over well with a lot of people …

Summer is the time when our body needs plenty of water and what more can be better than a refreshing and rejuvenating Mint (Pudina) flavored juice. Pudina juice is a very healthy and common type of juice which can be made at home in minutes. Preparing it is easy …

Yeah, doughnut can be found anywhere. All bakeries offer doughnuts, and they cost usually RM1.50, so Krispy Kreme’s doughnuts are actually pretty expensive, since it costs abour RM2.80 each.
But hey, with heavy price comes good quality, you cannot deny that. Furthermore, they have this promotion …

Unlike their California-style garlic powder that I just don’t like, I really love McCormick Garlic Salt. The product comes in a solid, clear container with a red cap. Removing the red cap reveals the plastic filter with small holes allowing for easy sprinkling of the garlic salt, …

I am so puzzled how many people could love this bar so much! There’s nothing really into it. I have tasted so many chocolate bars, and the 3Musketters is just one of the less than ordinary ones I have ever tried. It is not anything you would go crazy …

If you ask me, this is the best skim milk there is. Lucerne just makes the best milk, or maybe I shouldn’t say that, because their cows, not Lucerne make the best milk.
Of course, this skim milk incarnation should be fat free, after all, this is what skim milk …

I have always loved the Tempura chips by Regent Company; I have made a good review about those specific chips already. I am here to comment and make a review about a new “Tempura” flavored chips locally produced by the company that gave us the all famous kiddie milk …

We often go to Robinson Supermarket to buy groceries and other stuffs and we always see this Bake and Churn Ice Cream Cake’s stall at the entrance part of the supermarket. I never tried buying any of these ice cream cakes because I thought to myself …

Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix allows for the creation of average tasting pancakes. The reason I say average is because this pancake mix requires the addition of water opposed to milk. Pancakes that are made using water typically fall apart easier and do not quite taste as good or come …

I tried smoking a pipe when I was younger and didn’t like it. I tried it a bit later when I was a student and carried on for a couple of years. During that time I tried various tobaccos and each had their merits.
The one that I particularly liked …

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m usually in a hurry in the mornings so, if I want a good breakfast, I have to buy those in frozen form and hope they are as tasty as they are filling.
I was at Aldi last weekend and came across a brand I had …

I still remember the commercials for Bulls-eye when I was growing up, how they claimed that they were the best. I happen to agree with that statement. In my opinion, Bulls-eye does offer the best of barbecue sauce. The flavor of the original barbecue sauce is a …

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 …

Whenever I shop for pot pies, I try to balance quality with price. I want something that is filling and tastes great. But, I also hate spending more than a $1 each on them.
That’s why I ended up purchasing Swanson Turkey pot pies the other day. They looked like …

Ruchi gold sunflower is another cooking oil, which is also very good. My mother uses the Ruchi gold sunflower oil. The Ruchi gold sunflower oil is also very costly but contains less fat and also contains some recommended vitamins, which are necessary for our body every day. …

I am not one that eats much of the selections made by Chef Boyardee that comes in a can such as their Spaghetti O’s, Ravioli’s, and their other choices, however I was hungry one afternoon last week and came across this can of lasagna I bought for my children. …

I purchased this Cheese & Onion Pie from Marks & Spencer today and it is something I have purchased many times before. I was feeling a bit poorly today and did not feel like a big meal so just cooked up a small portion of this pie …

This stuff tastes really bad. I bought some right before class the other day and what appealed to me was what I read on the outside of the package. It said that there were clusters of cashews (which is my favorite kind of nut) pecans, and peanuts all put …

Dream whip is a whipped topping mix which is similar to Cool Whip. I have passed by this product many times on the supermarket shelf but was reluctant to try it because frankly I don’t like Cool Whip and thought the Dream Whip would be just like it.
One …

Nestle Ice Cream now has a new product called the nestle pops. This new ice cream is a new innovative ice cream product that you do not need to eat it with a cone or even a spoon.
Nestle Pops is a vanilla ice cream coated with chocolate that looks …

Good old McVities Jaffa Cakes were around when I was a girl and they do not seem to have changed at all. I looked them up on the internet out of interest and they have actually been around since 1927 which shows what a winning formula they are …

I have to say that I’m a little particular when it comes to cookies and cream flavored ice cream. Unless the ice cream itself is really good, I won’t like it. I’ve had a lot that used cheap ice cream and loaded it down with cookies to make it …

I’m usually in a hurry in the mornings so I spend a great deal of money on pre-made frozen breakfasts.
One of those breakfasts happened to be the Ham & Cheese Omelet from Aunt Jemima. When I bought it, I figured it would turn out very dry and unappetizing but …

I love going to Dairy Queen and getting a treat once in a while. This weekend I decided to try the French Silk Pie blizzard and I am so glad that I did. It was delicious.
I ordered the medium size one, and it filled me up. …

This is another variation of the Lady’s Choice products made by Unilever. What I love about this sandwich spread is its very real taste as well as its health benefits. It is made up of real bits of tuna and a …

While traveling in NJ we came across a little candy store called Nagels Candy Barn located on Route 10 in Randolph NJ. This place was amazing! Every type of candy you want you can get here! We went around Easter time and were in awe at all of the …

Del Monte Pasta Italiana
Of all the local brands of Pasta I have only one brand to trust. It is Del Monte Pasta Italiana. I have tried many other local brands but I always go back to Del Monte. I could remember how a cheaper brand that …

Because of frequent shopper points, we have an opportunity to get a Food Club frozen turkey at half price. It�s a great deal but I would much rather pay full price for a better brand.
We tried the Food Club Turkeys last year around Thanksgiving and I have to say …

For all you chocolate lovers out there. You must give Ferroro Rocher a try, unless you don’t like nuts in your chocolate. Well, even though I am not the biggest fan of nuts in my chocolate I do eat it occasionally and this definitely is a chocolate that fits …

I’m not sure how new McDonalds’ Southern Style chicken is but I tried it for the first time a week ago and was very disappointed. It’s a breakfast sandwich that has a piece of chicken strip in between a flaky biscuit. For something that’s suppose to be southern, where’s …

Great Value Mandarin Oranges are sold in a 15 oz metal can that needs to be open with a can-opener (no convenient ring-opener attached to the lid). Segments of mandarin oranges come in light syrup; they are medium sweet, not very different from the taste of a fresh, ripe …

I am concerned about keeping my family healthy, as are most mothers. I have been pleased at the deluge of more healthful items available in the regular grocery stores as of late. In particular, I have been very happy with Kellogg’s new organic Rice Krispies and Frosted Mini-Wheat’s cereals.
In …

Trader Joe’s Popped Potato Chips are not fried, so there is no grease to be found accompanying the potato chips, and are not baked, but instead, popped. I had never heard of this means of making potato chips before, although apparently, it does work, as this product made its …

Lately, I have not bothered buying the most well known brand of soft cheese as I have discovered that certain cheaper alternatives are just as nice if not nicer. I always like to have something like this in the fridge as for a snack you cannot beat soft …

I first encountered New Belgium Brewery’s flagship beer, Fat Tire, as the subject of rumor at my college. It wasn’t available in Minnesota at the time, and beer drinkers from other parts of the state would complain often about this fact.
So when I first tasted Fat Tire, …
