Kroger Garlic Spread
This is a garlic spread that is made in-store at Kroger grocery stores, so it’s not sold at any other store. A twelve-ounce tub of this garlic spread runs for around two dollars and fifty-cents, which is a fair price I feel considering the quality of the spread and …
Betty Crocker - Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins
Betty Crocker - Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins really do deserve to have the word “chocolate” used twice in its product name! These chocolate chocolate chip muffins are quite rich in chocolate flavor, whether you are biting into the muffin or one of the many chocolate chips! There is chocolate …
Smucker’s Concord Grape Jam
Smucker’s Concord Grape Jam is certainly a rich and flavorful jam, although I personally prefer the grape jelly simply because I like a smooth and filtered spread as opposed to a thick jam spread. Nonetheless, this jam has a pretty potent grape flavor that will certainly appeal to those …
Innes & Gunn Beer
Once in a while, something different comes on the market and makes a bit of a splash. I suppose you could think of Google in the respect. It outshone the competition in a big way and none have ever quite come up to scratch ever since. Perhaps Champagne is …
Sara Lee Strawberry Cheesecake Bites
Sara Lee Strawberry Cheesecake Bites are quite possibly the best tasting no-silverware-needed deserts available in supermarkets today. Small, square, bite-size chunks of delicious strawberry cheesecake, which actually tastes like the real thing, with a crumbly graham cracker crust combine to form a frozen cube of heaven. If you can …
Shake n Bake Buffalo Flavor
Manufactured by Kraft Foods, Shake n Bake is a breadcrumb-style coating mix for chicken or pork. It comes in a variety of flavors, some that are specifically identified as being for either chicken or pork. I have tried a number of different flavors and always enjoyed them. …
The Bakery At Walmart Vanilla Sliced Loaf Cake
Located near the bakery section at Walmart stores, The Bakery At Walmart Vanilla Sliced Loaf Cake product is moist, fresh and tasty. This loaf cake, which is already sliced into ten individual pieces, is pleasant to have in the morning with breakfast as well as afternoon as a small, …
Goya Dark Chocolate with Almonds
When I think chocolates, especially the local ones, I would normally think of Goya and Choc-nut. When I was in the supermarket, I was looking for cheap thrills again just to satisfy my cravings for chocolate. I wanted something dark, something not too sweet, in fact, I wanted some …
hint - Raspberry Lime
Raspberry Lime flavored water from hint is definitely a delicious combination of two tasty flavors! Having that combination infused into water makes for a drink that is both refreshing and really quite tasty! I like both raspberry and lime and both flavors are really well represented in this drink. …
Droste Milk and Dark Pastilles chocolate
Droste Milk and Dark Pastilles (although the name is actually rendered as “Milk / Dark” on the pack) are a chocolate treat that I do not very often manage to enjoy, not because I don’t like the things - I do, a great deal - but because they are …
Chucky Chocolate Drink
I have a 2 year old daughter. She has always weighed under the desired kilo for her age. She drinks milk but she doesnt have much appetite for solid foods. She has food supplements and vitamins but she would cry everytime …
Campbell’s Chunky Manhattan Clam Chowder Soup
Hey gentle reader folk, guess what time it is?
It’s blatantly fake lunch pail time again!
Once more, I’m working on my fitness and diet to “pre-treat” the bad holiday habits with soup. On the docket today is Campbell’s Chunky Manhattan Clam Chowder. Is it a good product? Is it a …
McDonald’s McGriddle (Bacon, Egg & Cheese)
The McDonald’s McGriddle with bacon, egg and cheese is not a McGriddle variety that I find very tasty. The reason is the bacon that McDonald’s uses is not all that flavorful or large. They typically put two thin strips of either undercooked or overcooked bacon on the sandwich, and …
Gourmet Dining Frozen Dinner
I recently purchased the Chicken Parmigiana Skillet Dinner from Gourmet Dining and, while I did have at least one complaint about the product, found myself being legitimately satisfied with my purchase.
The Gourmet Dining frozen skillet dinner was both easy to make and great tasting. It wasn’t too salty like …
Chick-fil-A Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich
Chick-fil-A Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich is one that I had once and I might have again. Unlike McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A actually has decent bacon and so the bacon that is used on this sandwich offers a good flavor and was cooked well, at least the one time that I …
Buttermilk Eggo Waffles
The buttermilk Eggo waffles are quite good and flavorful and I enjoy having one or two a week. I would have more, but they aren’t all that healthy for a person. There’s fat and cholesterol to be picked up when eating one of these waffles, so there are definitely …
Russell Stover Marshmallow & Caramel heart
One of the many Valentine’s Day treats on sale in 2010 is the Russell Stover Marshmallow & Caramel heart. I purchased this for 59 cents the other day. For me, that is a high price, but sometimes I think we need to treat ourselves. Russell Stover …
KRAFT Pizza
I don’t like thin crust pizzaz, so when I saw something called Naturally Rising Pizza at our grocery store, I immediately wanted to check it out. “Naturally Rising” promised good, soft, “bready” crust. It is a KRAFT product, and there were several varieties of it available. The one I …
Trader Joe’s Chicken Chili with Beans
This item is a somewhat unique take on chili, substituting chicken for the ground beef. I have always liked chicken chili, so when I saw it in the store I picked it up.
I was expecting this chili to be a little different than it was. I was thinking the …
Birds Eye Steamfresh Super Sweet Corn
As my readers know, I love convenience, so it will come to no surprise that I recently tried Birds Eye Steamfresh Super Sweet Corn, which I’ve seen advertised on TV for quite a while now. I’ve hesitated on buying it because Birds Eye hasn’t really been a favorite …
Cloverhill Bakery - Cream Cheese Danish
The Cloverhill Bakery - Cream Cheese Danish is a tasty pastry that I think will appeal to those that enjoy the flavor of cream cheese and do not mind some sweet icing. Maybe some is a little bit of an understatement considering there is actually quite a bit of …
Berni Pesto Al Basilico (Pesto Sauce)
I am a big fan of pesto sauce, that delicious Italian staple made with basil, garlic and butter. My husband makes the best homemade pesto ever, but it does take some time to prepare. At my favourite Italian market, I found a small jar of imported prepared pesto from …
DiGiorno Flatbread Melts - Chicken & Bacon Ranch
The package for DiGiorno Flatbread Melts - Chicken & Bacon Ranch flavor promises fresh baked taste in just minutes.
DiGiorno Flatbread Melts - Chicken & Bacon Ranch, per the package, is made with “toasty flatbread filled with white meat chicken, applewood smoked bacon, reduced fat mozzarella cheese and smoked gouda …
Ready Brek Breakfast Cereal
Ready Brek has been one of my favourite cereals since I was a child, especially in Winter. The TV advert would show people with glowing tummies keeping them warm because of the warm Ready Brek inside them and that always appealed to me. This is an oat …
Atkins Beef Fiesta Taco Bowl
Occasionally, I’ll be in the food for Mexican cuisine. While it’s not the kind of food I crave daily, once or sometimes even twice a week, I enjoy having a Mexican inspired meal. For that reason, when I came across the Atkins Beef Fiesta Taco Bowl in the frozen …
Heinz Deep Browned Beans with pork and tomato sauce
These make a great quick meal! It’s very convenient to be able to come home and just open a can and heat it up. Sometimes we cut up some sausage or a cooked hotdog and add it to the beans.
We usually eat this over rice, or with a piece …
Selecta Choco Almond Fudge Ice Cream
Selecta has done it again. With this new flavor, they have created another “supreme”.
Chocolate ice cream and almonds is already a good combination. The texture produced by the nuts makes eating more enjoyable. They are also of the right bite-size so you won’t miss it. With the fudge added, …
Snackwell’s Devilsfood Cookies
One of my favorite snacks is made by Nabisco and it is called Snackwell’s Devils Food Cookies. These cookies are fantastic and they cost about $2.99 per box. I keep them hidden from the rest of the family to make sure that I get some because that is the …
Strawberry Chex
I just tried this cereal not too long ago because the shoppers where I live had a sale on cereal. It’s pretty good. The strawberry taste is very strong. It’s definately different from the other kinds of chex. I love strawberries and almost anything flavored with strawberry but I …
Little Debbie Chocolate Cremes
I find these Little Debbie Chocolate Cremes to be quite flavorful! There is not a single thing about this cookie that I can find fault with. I found myself to be pleased with the rich and authentic chocolate flavor of the top and bottom cookies. The chocolate cake is …
Cellogs corn flakes
Cellogs corn flakes are a new snack, which my kids just love it. When I had been to the market just 4 days back, I saw this packet and wanted to give a try. These corn flakes are the products of the company called Cellogs. These …
Old Glory Red Table Wine
We bought a bottle of Old Glory Red Table Wine at our local Fox Valley Winery. The standard, 750 ml bottle was priced a little over $13. We had tasted the wine before, so we knew what to expect when we opened the bottle at home for a nice …
Season’s Choice Diced Onion Rings
Season’s Choice Diced Onion Rings is a frozen food product carried at ALDI Food Market stores. The onion rings may be available at other stores that specialize in off brands, but I don’t know of any others that do. A sixteen ounce bag retails for one dollar and nineteen …
Chocolate Mountain Cookies
Chocolate Mountain Cookies are my favourite cookies. When I was little I didn’t like any kind of cookies because I was creazy about cakes with a lot of cream and I didn’t like cookies because they were toodry. but now I really adore most of them with chocolate chips. …
Budwiser in the Can
It is a 95 degree day here in Detroit and the sun is beating on my brow, as I sit down to review an American classic, Budweiser, to be more specific, Budweiser in the can. Now, the casual beer drinker may say, “so what if it is in an …
Jordan’s Skinny Girl Pumpkin Spice Syrup
I am on this insane mostly protein diet. And for whatever reason I decided I wanted to start it in November. One huge caveat to this amazing idea I had, I love the holiday flavor coffee you can get from starbucks or Panera or any of those places. Problem …
EAS Chocolate Low Carb Shake
I really like the taste of the EAS low carb shakes. I have one almost every morning for breakfast. They only have 4 carbs total, which makes it the perfect thing for me.
The shakes are totally different from the slim fast kind. The slim fast ones …
Legacy Bakehouse Mix—˜n More Original Recipe Snack Mix
Legacy Bakehouse Mix—˜n More Original Recipe Snack Mix is my second favorite of the snack mixes available from Legacy Bakehouse, ahead of the buffalo variety but behind the garlic variety. This is the original recipe variety, so there is no “main” or “primary” flavor that coats each and every …
Kellogs Krave Chocolate chip
I’m really picky when it comes down to breakfast food, if isn’t the traditional items like eggs, bacon, sausage or hearty cereals…etc, I won’t touch it. Kellog Krave chocolate chip is a chocolate cereal that looks like small smooth captain crunch squares with chocolate on the inside. Its like …
Marigold Juice
My 2.5 year old son loves to drink juice. Earlier I used to give home-made fresh apple juice and orange juice. But it used to be boring and cumbersome process for me. My friend once suggested to try Marigold apple juice. My son is little fussy and I thought …
Hungry Man Rotisserie Chicken Frozen Dinner
Product description: Hungry Man frozen dinner containing two pieces of chicken, green beans, potatoes and a brownie. I purchased this for $2.50 at one of our local grocery stores last night.
What I liked about this product: As is the case with the Hungry Man brand in general, the dinner …
KFC Cole Slaw
When I go out to the mall with friends or on beach trips with the family I like to have Kentucky Fried Chicken (more fondly known as KFC) at times and one of the many side dishes they offer with their standard fries and fried chicken meal is cole …
Amy’s Pesto Tortellini Bowl
Amy’s is a super company that delivers organic, healthy foods. I love pesto and tortellini. When I saw Amy’s Pesto Tortellini Bowl in my grocery store’s frozen section, I bought it immediately. I was highly disappointed with this product, which took me completely by surprise. Pesto tortellini is a …
Felix Solis 1999 Los Molinos Gran Reserva
Sells for 15 dollars in Ontario LCBO Shops
Region of origin: Spain - Valdepeñas
13% Alcohol
I know this is a good wine because I found myself with a big grin on my face when I was drinking it, this always a good sign.
It’s quite fruity and I can’t put my finger …
Sunsweet Prune Juice
I have got into the healthy habit of drinking a small glass of Sunsweet Prune Juice every morning with my breakfast and I have noticed a difference to my digestive system. I have to admit that I do not like prunes at all and since trying them as …
Marketside Bagged Salad
My wife and I decided to have salad last night to go with our dinner. Since we already used up the lettuce that came from our garden, I ran to the grocery store up the street to pick up a bagged salad.
I originally intended on buying our normal brand. …
