Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup
Campbell’s is a trusted maker of soups and I have been eating their products since I was a child. As expected, they have also been adapting their products towards more healthy eating trends, which is why they now offer soups with lower calories and lower levels of sodium.
My …
Best Choice Minced Garlic Cloves
Since my husband unfortunately lost his job last year, our family was forced to seriously reconsider how much we spend each week at the grocery store. One area where we found it was easy to save money was buying purchasing generic products in place of higher priced name brand …
Lipton “Cold Brew” Tea Bags
Lipton is a company that is known for great tea and so when I started to become interested in drinking brewed tea at home I looked to their company for help and found their new invention called “Cold Brew” tea bags which come in a box of 12 and …
Quizno’s Sandwiches
I had Quizno’s once a few years ago and didn’t much care for it.
I decided to try it again for lunch with a group of friends.
I found the food a bit on the expensive side but the restaurant smelled wonderful and there were many choices.
I chose the mesquite chicken …
Chicken Bruschetta Panini Hot Pockets
A friend gave me a couple of coupons for Hot Pockets’ newest addition to the frozen food family: Chicken Bruschetta Panini Hot Pockets. I was at first excited to try this newfound fare. But shortly after heating it in the microwaveable tray, I was …
Mrs. Freshley’s Fudge Bake Brownie
I did not find anything all that special about Mrs. Freshley’s Fudge Bake Brownie. It tasted like a typical fudge brownie to me, which is both a good and a bad thing. It is a good thing because I like fudge brownies, so when I first tasted this fudge …
Kras Tortica White Finger
When I was little I adored white chocolate but with years it became kind a too sweet. I don’t know if they started producing different white chocolate or I just don’t like that sweet stuff any more but I rarely buy white chocolate now. Today my sister went to …
Chunky Vegetable Beef Stew
Typically, if I’m looking for a quick lunch, I can’t go wrong with Chunky Soup. But, after trying their Vegetable Beef Stew, I have to say I don’t intend on buying that variety again.
Flavor wise, it was OK. It was a bit too salty for my tastes but it …
John’s Incredible Pizza Co.
I recently visited John’s Incredible Pizza Co. in San Diego, CA. I had never heard of such a place and I knew it had just opened its doors to San Diego county residents a couple of months ago.
First off, this is an all-you-can-eat buffet style restaurant. …
Nature’s Path: Frosted Cherry Pomegran Toaster Pastries
I found Nature’s Path: Frosted Cherry Pomegran Toaster Pastries to be tasty, although sweeter than I expected. The sweetness comes from the frosting that covers the pastry. I do not feel that the frosting needed to be as sweet as it was made, but it really is not that …
Real D’lites by The Real Crisp Company
In my search for healthy snack food I stumbled upon a new crisp (potato chip) snack called Real D’lites. These are made out of cassava rather than potatoes. Now I’ve tried many healthier alternative snacks before, usually the result is disappointing. However, Real D’lites vine ripened …
Beech Nut Let’s Grow Tummy Tray
My daughter is almost a year old, and since she is getting off her formula it is important to make sure the solid food she is going on still has the same nutritional value. Although the Gerber food is good, I don’t think it has enough Iron in it …
Hormel Compleats Sante Fe Style Chicken
Hormel Compleats Sante Fe Style Chicken is the latest variety of this production line that I have enjoyed. I must say that it has been a bit of a surprise as they I never expected to enjoy Hormel Compleats as much as I have.
The Santa Fe Style Chicken …
Organic Soy Dream Lil’ Dreamers
Organic Soy Dream Lil’ Dreamers turned out to be positively terrible! These were just about the worst ice cream sandwiches that I have ever tried. What made them so bad, exactly? Quite simply, the flavor was horrid! Whether it was the vanilla ice cream or the chocolate cookies that …
Viactiv Calcium Soft Chew
I bought Viactiv Calcium Soft Chew in Chocolate flavor, to be exact, “new improved flavor” which in my opinion does not taste any different. It is still soft and chewy, but as a matter of fact, doesn’t even taste like chocolate at all, tastes more like caramel to be …
Mountain Lightning pop
Mountain Lightning is Walmart’s inexpensive alternative to the popular Mountain Dew. While the taste is a little different, it is close enough, and I know some Mountain Dew fans who have at least temporarily switched to Mountain Lightning (to give their wallet a break). A 2-liter bottle costs only …
Toblerone
This chocolade is produced in Switzerland and like almost all Swiss chocolate this chocolate is perfect and I really enjoy everything about it. I like the shape of it because you just bite it, it would look silly to bite a standard bar of chocolate because it is thin …
Splendid Self Rising Flour
I have always used all purpose flour when cooking and baking. When ever I found myself needing self rising flour I would use all purpose flour with the perfect amount of baking powder to make up for the self rising flour.
Well I actually got around to using Splendid’s …
Cold Stone
Growing up, I loved mixing toppings into my ice cream. So when I discovered Cold Stone, you can imagine how happy I was! Finally, an ice cream shop that not only had lots of cool toppings, but they mixed them in for me! It was perfect.
The first time I …
Hostess Donettes - Powdered Sugar
These Hostess Donettes - Powdered Sugar variety are much, much more tolerable than the downright hideous chocolate variety that I simply could not possibly stomach. While I did just say they are much, much more tolerable, I did not say they were excellent, or even great. The powdered sugar …
Wholly Wholesome Organic Whole Wheat Crust Pie Crust
I think this may just be about the healthiest pie crust that can be found at the grocery store. The Wholly Wholesome Organic Whole Wheat Crust Pie Crust has two things going for it that will make those that are looking to watch just what they put in their …
Fit & Active 100 Calorie Baked Chocolate Chip Wafer Snacks
These wafer snacks are a lot better than the chocolate wafers, also sold under the Fit & Active brand. Unlike the bland and somewhat unsatisfying chocolate wafers, the chocolate chip bits in these tiny cookies are sweet and rich. The wafer itself tastes a lot like the dough used …
Airforce Nutrisoda
A few months ago, I came across Airforce Nutrisoda, a fruit flavored soda that was supposed to be good for me. I eagerly bought an 8.4 oz. can for $.79 and took it with me to work, to see if it would help energize me AND taste good …
Nesvita probone milk
Nesvita probone milk with calcilock is a product of Nestle. It is a low fat milk which offers many health benefits to consumers. I had a habit of comparing and checking first the labels and nutritional information before buying foods in the supermarket, because it is always a must …
Harris Teeter Honey Flavored Cheese Curls
I gave this new kind of snack a try one day, when my sister urged me to try it. She told me they were the off brand version of Cheetos, which ultimately caused me to laugh. In my experience anything that isn’t the actual original Cheetos are either too …
Chick-fil-A Chicken Salad Sandwich
There are few menu items at the Chick-fil-A fast food restaurant that I do not care for. The Chick-fil-A Chicken Salad Sandwich is most definitely one of them! I tried the sandwich once and never will I ever try it again. Neither the texture nor the flavor of the …
Fushanquan Green Tea Wine
I’ve been interested in trying out new health foods that will bring good health and just all around natural. I like to rink tea because it just tastes great and when I get sick it’s even more of a healer than anything else.
I bought some Green Tea wine …
Anchor butter
My niece once told me that she will not eat bread unless it has a sandwich spread. Of course, a bread’s taste will be enhanced through those spreads. I always buy varieties of these. I sometimes buy butter, a cheese spread, a chocolate spread or any other sandwhich spread. …
Danon Activia Yogurt
Being a yogurt fan with poor digestion, when Danon introduced Activia for good digestive health I was eager to try it. After trying it in my favorite flavor of strawberry, I was hooked.
The yogurt texture is smooth and creamy. Bits of real strawberries are mixed throughout with fresh …
Wendy’s Baconator hamburger sandwich
In 2009, Wendy’s fast food restaurant chain introduced a new hamburger called the Baconator. I actually didn’t start eating this until the last few months, but now I really like it, and there are a few reasons for that.
First, I’m a little on the finicky side when it …
Chubby Soft Drinks
“Chubby” was a Trinidadian soft drink product which came out in the nineteen nineties in Jamaica when I was about six or so years old. I guess the product was named Chubby because it was in a small stout plastic bottle, which at the time to me, made it …
Kraft Grated Parmesan, Romano and Asiago Cheese
I never could quite make out the difference between this cheese and the Kraft Parmesan and Romano blend. This cheese may have tasted a tad sweeter, but that I’m not even sure of. Asiago cheese must not be very strong in taste or aroma, at least, not when compared …
Cupp Keyk Choco Mocha Flavor
It has been my habit to eat bread as breakfast because it doesn’t make me feel very full early in the morning. And one of the types of bread that I have tried is the Cupp Keyk Choco Mocha flavor.
At first glance, the picture of this flavor on its …
Stouffer’s Skillets Beef Stroganoff
Stouffer’s Skillets Beef Stroganoff is really quite delicious! The flavor is perhaps even more plentiful than the portions of the meal, and that is really something since the portions are pretty significant! The beef is really very tender and so flavorful, too! There is plenty of it, too, so …
Kashi Healthy Heart Cereal
I am always looking for new healthy cereals to help me start my day. On my recent trip to the grocery store, I decided to shy away from my normal cereal choices and try Kashi’s Healthy Heart Honey flavored cereal. Kashi is known for providing consumers with healthy choices …
Truvia Sweetener
I tried Truvia sweetener because several low carb websites were singing its praises, and because I became concerned about the safety of other artificial sweeteners. Truvia is a blend of erythritol (a sugar alcohol) and stevia. I had never liked stevia on its own, so I was wondering …
Diet Lipton Citrus Green Tea
During the summer, I find that I tend to drink more than other times during the year. I prefer to drink diet drinks over other beverages or coffee. When a friend gave me a few bottles of Diet Lipton Citrus Green Tea, I was a little skeptical. …
Ice Breakers Gum, Ice Cubes
Ice Breakers Gum, Ice Cubes come in a small box. When you open the box, you discover little “cubes” of gum. Ice Breakers Ice Cubes offer a quick burst of flavor when you first start to chew it. One of the things I enjoy about this product is that …
Breyers Frozen Lemonade
I was recently given a small container of Breyers Soft frozen lemonade, and must say?I?m not impressed. I was actually given a selection of ice cream to choose from and I chose the frozen lemonade thinking it would be light and tasty. Overall I think it was just way …
Nestle Flavored Waters
It has been said that by the time one is thirsty, a state of dehydration already exists in the body. As a result, I am constantly trying to remember myself to drink constantly throughout the day. Because I generally enjoy most diet beverages or waters, I picked …
Edwards Singles Chocolate Creme Pie
A while back, I tried an Edwards product for the first time and was just insanely happy with it, so recently, I purchased a couple of their other offerings to see if lightning could strike twice. One of these was Edwards Singles Chocolate Creme Pie. I’m not a …
Wendy’s - Double Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe
Wendy’s - Double Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe is a burger that is a little on the small size in terms of its burger patties, but it can still be filling if you add something to go along with it, like say chili or a baked potato. That is what I …
Best Choice Frozen Breaded Zucchini
In this economy, one of the ways our family has tried to save money is by purchasing generic items instead of name brand products. The last time I was at the grocery store, I decided to try Best Choice Frozen Breaded Zucchini, a generic product that our store …
Little Debbie Double Chocolate Muffins
Little Debbie Double Chocolate Muffins are really quite perfect for chocolate lovers, much more so than the chocolate chip muffins because you are getting much more chocolate baked into these muffins. The double chocolate muffins offer two types of chocolate: the more subdued chocolate cake portion and the rich …
Mrs. Freshley’s 100 Calorie Blueberry Muffins
There is not a great deal of flavor to be found inside these Mrs. Freshley’s 100 Calorie Blueberry Muffins. The blueberry flavor is not quite as rich as the non-one calorie muffins, and those did not even have a real rich blueberry flavor to begin with! While there is …
Mother’s Chocolate Chip Little Bites Cookies
Not long ago the Mother’s brand was in danger of disappearing from the scene. After being in business since 1914, the California bakery and cookie distributor couldn’t outlast this difficult economy and recession. They folded up. Fortunately, the brand was salvaged and is now owned by …
Derby blue Zero Ace 1,5L
When it comes to juices I must say that I rarely find one that I like, I usually buy juices that are on discount so this time I’ve found Derby blue Zero Ace for 1,19 Euro and holds 1 and a half litres of juice. You actually don’t even …
Sea Dog Blueberry Beer
I used to not really be a beer drinker, but spent time with people who were. i would often have difficulty infinding something to drink when we were out at bars that had primarily a beer menu. Then, I tried this beer.
This beer atstes almost like a blueberry tea, …
Coco-Choco chrispy cream yogurt
I took this yogurt because I actually think it was stracciatella one, you know those white vanilla ones with chocolate chips, just when I got home I realised it was made of coconuts and not stracciatella, it was a small disappointment I must admit but as I like coconuts, …
Jell-o Instant Pudding - French Vanilla
Jell-o Instant Pudding - French Vanilla is most definitely one of my favorite pudding varieties! I really enjoy the flavor of vanilla, and this pudding most definitely has a terrific vanilla flavor! The fact that it is french vanilla only helps to make this an even tastier treat! The …
