The one that I particularly liked …

Wafer lovers should try Nissin Chocolate Wafer. It’s a local brand here in the Philippines but for me it’s one of the best. The reason I like it is because the taste is just right. It’s sweet but not too sweet. It’s in small packages so it remains crispy …

Wow oh wow are these Little Debbie Boston Creme Rolls deliciously tasty! Everything about these rolls I find simply scrumptious and Little Debbie did a simply superb job of recreating the flavor and texture of the original Boston creme roll, from the rich and flavorful creme to the wonderfully …

Campbell’s Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup is okay as a quick solution when you don’t have time to cook - just empty the can, add 1 can of water, and heat. However, I still prefer my own homemade chicken soup and rarely use this product. Campbell’s soup is a little …

Tostitos are not good! Whenever …

Admittedly, I’m pretty finicky about my chicken and where I’ll get it from, be it a fast food place, formal sit down restaurant, or grocery store. I have a more limited palate where it’s concerned, and I grew up with it a certain way, so if it’s not …

There is one thing that I can think of–off the top of my head–that I’m guilty of: Not learning to make brownies from scratch. Luckily for me, there’s Betty Crocker in the wing ready to help me out and impress my mom who know I can’t cook–I’m working on …

Ghirardelli is well known for their chocolates. They’re a step above Heresy’s chocolates but not quite at the level of Godiva’s chocolates, which I honestly think is extremely over priced after trying it. Ghirardelli makes some fine chocolate bars and brownie mixes. Recently they’ve come out with a new …

I was surprised to find, during my grocery shopping at my local Wal-Mart, an energetic, bright-eyed woman of about thirty-five years of age, giving out samples of Zipfizz. She described it as a “healthier alternative to energy drinks by providing you with important vitamins and minerals!”
