Like with other treats made by Mrs. Freshley’s with a special seasonal name, pay no attention to the name because there is nothing special about the treats. For example, Mrs. Freshley’s Summer: Racing Chocolate Cupcakes are nothing but chocolate covered and creme filled cupcakes that look and taste a …

Like many of us who could stand to lose a few pounds, I’ve always been on the lookout for a new exercise routine or weight-loss alternative. However, I’ve always been a bit sceptical about diet fads such as protein shakes and bio-yogurt, so I wasn’t expecting much when a …

We did not buy but were given a tin of Grace Mixed Vegetables by my grandmother one week. I was saving it at first so I could use it as an ingredient in pasta that I was going to make, but we had to use it one …

My husband and I have recently been trying to include more vegetables into our daily diet. We have come to the sudden and harsh reality that we are now close to thirty years old, and no longer have the bodies that we did as teenagers. Yes, we …

Recently, I purchased the Chips Ahoy - Big Pack as I call it. It’s a large box that contains four packages of 12-ounce packages of Chips Ahoy! cookies. I made the purchase at Sam’s Club. The reason for the buy was that not only do I …

I never usually like fruity candy, but Wonka Runts has become a bit of an exception since the little bags they come in hold a particular set of fruity hard candies that I used to love as a little girl. I can’t even remember the name I used to …

The other day in the supermarket something caught my eye. In the beer isle I noticed that Anhueser Bush had a new product called Bud Lite Lime. It came in a clear bottle and the label said it had a “lime twist”. I asertained that Anhueser Bush was trying …

I just love the rich cherry smell of these Hershey’s Kisses! As soon as I take a few out of the bag I can smell their sweet scent in the air around me. I love cherries and chocolate covered cherries, but sometimes chocolate covered cherries can be a bit …

I eat a lot of pasta and we really enjoy fresh pasta. For the price and quality we usually buy buitoni brand pasta in the refrigerated section of our store. 99% of their products are excellent. They would be the brand if I walked into a …

This hot sauce is indeed hot! It burns and doesn’t quit burning for a few moments. I like that I don’t need to pour it on, either. A little will do! That being said, it’s not just hot, but flavorful too. The flavor of the sauce reminds me of …

I first bought these cookies after seeing an advertisement on TV for them. I’m not generally swayed at all by adverts, but these cookies really did look absolutely delicious: a normal chocolate chip cookie, with a smooth chocolatey filling inside? Yes, definitely something I’d love.
So I went to my …

This nutritional drink is really something special! I bought it because of it being banana-flavored first and foremost, but the number of vitamins and minerals in just one of these drinks caught my eye, too. This is not a real watery drink. It’s a little on the thick and …

I fully admit to having a love of Jelly Belly jellybeans. They were the first (and maybe only) company to make Dr. Pepper flavored jellybeans and they have a lot of flavors that you just can’t find anywhere else. They are now making suckers, which they call Lollibeans. I …

Stouffer’s Grandma’s Chicken and Vegetable Rice Bake is okay, although I have had superior combinations in the past. The grilled chicken is quite good, although that did not surprise me since Stouffer’s typically makes pretty tasty grilled chicken. It had a good flavor to it and was tender, too. …

I had the chance to taste mochi balls (locally made) at the SM mall in Davao city. A poster caught my eye and it says Japanese Mochi Crème mochi balls. Mochi balls are made of glutinous rice (or a sticky goeey substance) and is filled with ice cream. I …

Hershey’s new Kissables candies are just adorable, if you ask me. They are like miniature, colored Hershey’s Kisses with some personality and bling to them! They are a candy-coated chocolate product that live up to their cute disposition, too! They’re tasty and just by eating a …

I love chips and I love nibbling them while watching DVD movies or TV shows. Why I crave for this is because of the greatness of its taste. But before, potato chips were solely the famous choice. It is high in sodium and bad for the kidneys if we eat …

Creamy and cheesy are the words that come to mind when I think of what this Italian Side is like from Knorr. Cheese is something that I probably eat too much of, but it sure tastes good, and this Italian Side is another thing that sure tastes good! The …

In Malaysia, Kajang is only a small town which located in Selangor. Ordinarily, nothing was special in Kajang. But, when we said Satay Kajang, definitely they will remember and highlighted the Medan Satay in Kajang ! It is all because of their popular Satay. Satay is a small grilled …

Manufactured by Fonterra, I bought 788 gram for the price of PHP 187.00. This is the cheapest among the milk on the shelves when I bought it in a grocery store. Moreover, I have not tasted it for so long, I have been using Bearbrand ever since, but it …

Along with sausage, pepperoni is a favorite pizza topping of mine. It is not always easy to go about finding a pizza that boasts flavorful and plentiful pepperoni, but now that a Marco’s Pizza opened up about ten minutes from my house around three months ago, I now no …

I kept seeing the commercials for the new Munchito crunch wrap from Taco Bell and in the ads it looked like a little wrap filled with different toppings. After seeing the commercial several times, I still wasn’t sure if I wanted to try it. I tend to buy the …

Wendy’s - Triple Stack is not quite as flavorful as the Double Stack. The reason? Although a third hamburger patty is added to the sandwich, at the same time, toppings are removed. Both the pickles and onions get the boot on the this sandwich and that is definitely disappointing …

Kroger Value Saltines are fine for snacking, for soups, for chili and more. Compared to the national brands, these saltines are just as crispy, crunchy and flavorful. They hold up about as well in soups and chili and are just about as addicting when snacking on them. Also, like …

Fresh artichokes are often expensive and what’s worse, it is a seasonal vegetable which you can only find when it is in “season”. When my husband asks for artichokes, I buy the Goldcrest Artichoke Bottoms which are in cans. The can is very practical to have as you don’t …

I’m a huge chocolate fan and I’ve estimated that I consume about 15 kilos of chocolate a year, which sounds insane, but it’s not that bad if you divide it by 365 days. People say there’re benefits to eating chocolate on a daily basis and I like to believe that, …

Aunt Jemima Sausage Egg and Cheese on Croissant is not a bad breakfast sandwich by any means, but it is not a breakfast sandwich that I desire to have again. I much prefer the maple syrup filled mini-pancakes in place of the croissant, and I can get a sandwich …

I bought a bottle of Goya Pineapple soda on a whim the other day when I was shopping at Foodmart. I never had a pineapple-flavored soda before, but I did expect it to taste a bit like a pineapple. Truthfully, this soda has a very odd taste. I noticed …

I love Knorr products and have purchased other boxed gourmet soups with the Knorr name so when their Red Soup came on sale for only $1.99 down from $2.99 at my local supermarket I bought it straight away. The 500ml cardboard carton advertised that it served two people so …

“R R R Ruffles Have Ridges!”
That’s been the long-time tagline for Ruffles Potato Chips, and it’s pretty appropriate for this product, which is definitely characterized by thick ridges that make it unique from other potato chips on the market; that is, until some of them also began making chips …
