Fleischmanns Rapid Rise Instant Yeast
I never used Fleischmann’s rapid rise instant yeast until I purchased a bread kit that contained it, and even then I was nervous to handle the yeast. In the kitchen, yeast is my kryptonite because I never actually learned how to properly use it. I know you are to use …
Edy’s Slow Churned Rich & Creamy Vanilla Yogurt Blends
I always thought that Edy’s ice creams were good. When I saw that they had frozen yogurt, I was curious about these products. I ended up trying their vanilla flavor. I love frozen yogurt but I personally rarely see it in grocery stores, so I don’t often have access …
Don Simon orange juice
When you buy orange juice, it’s difficult to choose, as even if they’re all supposed to be the same product, they all end up tasting different in the end.
One of the brands that I have tried is Don Simon. The first good thing that I noticed about this orange …
White King Champ-O-Rado Chocolate Ride Porridge

Devon Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have tried a variety of cookies in my time and I like Devon Chocolate Chip cookies for one main reason. It is absolutely wonderful when it is spread with or dipped in peanut butter or Nutella.

Spice Traders and Teas: Pomegranate Green
As a lover a tea, I love to try as many new varieties and flavors as possible. Interestingly enough, I have found that good places to find new varieties of tea are renaissance faires. It is at a particular renaissance fair that I found the variety of tea which …

The Goldilocks Black Forest Cake has always been my preference when it comes to Black Forest Cake. It is only the Black Forest Cake that has perfect sweetness and it does not have too much wine too. It is not like other Black Forest Cakes that has very noticeable …
Pillsbury Strawberry Frosting

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures
While I’ve also done a review on the regular Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, I really wanted to do one on this product as well because as odd as it seems, there’s a bit of a difference between the regular product and this bag of miniatures.
When I was growing up, …
Lipton Ice Tea
This is what I like to call the universal drink as I have never somebody who does not drink tea and it is very convenient when posing as a cold beverage as well.
I fell in love with Lipton Ice Tea from the first time I tasted it, particularly the …
Dole Cavendish Bananas

Progresso Chicken Pot Pie Soup
I have heard a lot about Progresso soup and how healthy it is for people who are trying to fill their tummy’s and stay fit while watching their weight as well. Unfortunately, the Chicken Pot Pie Progresso soup is neither tasty or something that I would call filling. I …
Peccin Chewy Creme (Orange) candy

Blue Bunny No Sugar Added Fat Free Brownie Sundae Ice Cream
Ice Cream is one of those indulgences that I could probably live on. Unfortunately I seriously doubt it would be a nutritionally sound idea. With that being said, when I saw the container of Blue Bunny No Sugar Added Fat Free Brownie Sundae ice cream in the freezer case …
Taco Bell Cantina Tacos - Shredded Chicken
The new Cantina tacos at Taco Bell are just over $2 each, but do come in a combination meal for $6 including a drink. With the heavy advertising centered on the double-thick soft corn tortilla shells, fresh cilantro, lime, and deliciously seasoned meats, I felt compelled to at …

Mission Deli Hand-Shaped Plain Naan Bread
I thought I would review this naan bread because it is particularly fluffy and fresh and also because it was very cheap to buy. At Morrisons, they are currently selling this naan bread on special offer of two packets for the price of one, one packet costing about …
Skinny Cow Truffle Bar
Even though I am all for eating low fat foods, I have found that ice-cream is one treat that just does not taste good in a low-fat form. I have tried low-fat, fat-free and calorie-reduced ice-cream, as well as frozen yogurt, and they just do not taste remotely the …
Fancy Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese

V8 V-fusion Peach Mango Juice
I’m no stranger to the V8 V-fusion beverage line. I’ve fallen hard for these products and haven’t looked back ever since. They are easy to enjoy because they taste so darn amazing. They make getting your fruits and vegetables extremely easy. Without all the extra nonsense.
What I like …
Elmlea Double Cream
I bought some Elmlea Double Cream not really noticing that it was not standard cream, but it was really delicious and fresh so I will make a point of buying this in future. Elmlea is actually a blend of vegetable oils and buttermilk which has the advantages of …

I already try a lot of wines, many of them are too expensive when you buy …
IKEA’s $1 breakfast
I’m not sure if this is available everywhere (but I’m pretty sure yes), but the ones I’ve been to in Ontario offer this. Just for one dollar, there’s a cup of coffee, sausages, croissant, fries, and scarmbled eggs. The food is not at all greasy/oily, and actually covers many …
Bigelow Red Raspberry Herb Tea

HoMade Savoury Royals Crackers
I’m not even sure where my mother bought these, but all I know is that I haven’t seen this product in years. It was one of those cheap snacks my parents used to buy for me when I was much younger, and then when a lot of the Trinidadian …
Full Circle Organic Microwave Popcorn
While grocery shopping last week, I had the urge for some popcorn and noticed Full Circle microwave popcorn was on sale. It’s organic, which I’ve never had before. I was hesitant, but decided to take the plunge since it was less than my regular brand.
I purchased the …
Curves Chocolate

Coconut Brand Soy Sauce
Of all the brands of soy sauce I think Coconut Brand Soy Sauce. This simple tastes better than all other brands in the market. I used to think that all soy sauces are created equal. In fact whenever I shop, I would pick any brand of soy sauce and …
Jack ‘n Jill Roller Coaster
This potato ring snack is one of my favorite junk foods. Its cheddar cheese flavor makes me crave for it over and over again. It is a healthy snack because it is fortified with Vitamin A and Iron. It has Sangkap Pinoy seal and accepted by Department of Health …

Americana Mayonnaise
Earlier on in my life, I wasn’t really a lover of mayonnaise. It was only until recently though that I’ve come to appreciate mayonnaise in a good sandwich. I’ve also realised that not all mayonnaise are as good as others in terms of taste especially after trying quite a …
Walkers Crisps
In all the time that I have eaten crisps I have come across some wacky limited edition Flavours. Well now we have even more unusual and yet tasty flavours by one of the most popular crisp brands Walkers.
With 5 varieties to choose from, Builders Breakfast, in my own frank opinion …
Post Banana Nut Crunch Cereal
I bought Banana Nut Crunch Cereal at the store because it was on sale. I love bananas and banana bread and eat cereal twice a day so this seemed perfect for me. I was disappointed in the cereal from the moment I opened the box. …
Nestle Betty Condensed Milk
One of the food items which my family will buy constantly is “Nestle Betty Condensed Milk.” This is because not only is it affordable, but it tends to be convenient in many ways.
One of the reasons is because it comes in a tin. Therefore it tends to last …
Happy Hippo Ferrero Cacao
I really like Ferrero chocolates and sweet products because they all taste great and I must admit that Ferrero is my favourite chocolate company because they make excellent chocolates with nuts. Ferrero is an Italian company and they have so many different products, and I’ve tried most of them.
Yesterday …
Trader Giotto’s Fusilli Pasta with Tomato and Basil Sauce
I bought this at my local grocery store as I have never tried this particular brand before. It was about $2.50 plus tax and seemed to be great way to have a warm pasta dish for lunch. The italian inspired ingredients really sounded delicious so I bought it. i …
Pascia cappuccino
I must admit that 12 months I’ve tasted so many different cappuccino beverages because I started disliking coffee so I take one just in the morning and if I need or want coffee during the day I prefer making myself a cappuccino rather than making a coffee.
Pascia cappuccino looks very …
Del Monte Tomato Sauce
A product that was purchased weekly by my family for years and years was Del Monte Tomato Sauce. Primarily, we used this sauce as an ingredient for our weekly spaghetti. It’s the most reliable and tasty of the basic can sauces out there in my opinion.
