McCain Cool Quenchers drink mix

I just love this Century Tuna Hot and Spicy. It is very healthy and its good in the heart. Everybody in the family love this. We are not only using this as partner in our rice during meal time. We also ate this to make tuna sandwich. Before …
San Remo Macaroni and Cheese (Instant)
Some would say I’m a Macaroni and Cheese freak. I’ve sampled just about all of Kraft’s different variants. For me, a good serving has a hint of sharp cheddar. When I saw that San Remo had their own little packet of instant mac and cheese, I just had …

The economy in the United States has certainly not recovered yet. As such, I am always looking for ways to save money. I have found that our family is able to save a lot of money at the grocery store simply by purchasing generic products instead of high priced …
Lindt Lindor small chocolate
Lindt Lindor is really my favourite Lindt chocolate I discovered it many years ago because my mother adored it and my father was always buying it for her. Actually she adored Lindt Lindor eggs which is the same Lindt Lindor chocolate but in the shape of eggs or small …

Johnsonville Classic Italian-Style Meatballs
I was at our local grocery store a few days ago and, as I often do, I took a few minutes to check out the specials in the meat department. As it turns out, they had bags of Johnsonville Classic Italian-Style Meatballs on sale for $5.99.
We use frozen meatballs …
Treetop apple juice
Treetop apple juice is not very sweet but has a unique flavor anyway. I normally buy the one gallon bottle and it cost around three bucks. The cost is lesser than Langer’s apple juice. The bottle and packaging is well built. In fact I reuse the bottles of Treetop …
Little Debbie Snacks Fudge Brownies
Little Debbie Snacks Fudge Brownies are alright, but I must say, they really cannot compare to the box mixed brownie mixes. As ready-made brownies, these are okay and the fudge does taste decent. They are really quite soft and easy to chew, as they should be. The nuts on …
Van de Kamps Whole Fillet Fish Sticks
We haven’t had fish sticks in a while so I decided to pick up a box of them the other day. Since most cheaper brands are kind of gross, I figured I would spend the extra money and buy a box of Van De Kamps Whole Fillet Fish sticks …
Danon Activia Low-Fat Yogurt
Ever had that bloated, get-out-of-my-face, I have PMS and a handgun feeling?
Well that’s where my body and head were when I saw my first Danon Activia Yogurt commercial. It claimed it relieved digestive issues and cleared the intestinal track. Activia also has an active probiotic culture …

Cheetos Giant are those new cheetos that you see on the commercial where they are trying to make a big cheeto puff that would fit perfectly into anyones mouth no matter what the size. They are testing it out and theres a buzzer that goes off if its too …
Wholly Guacamole Snack Packs in Classic
After being a big fan of the Wholly Guacamole brand for a while, I finally got to try one of their 100 calorie snack packs, and I’m absolutely in love! These packages are the perfect option for a quick, healthy snack without wasting an entire (expensive) package of guacamole!
Although …
Frito Lay chips
Frito Lay makes some of the most bland chips ever, I rarely ever buy these even though potato chips are my weakness. I can not resist the yummy salty crunch of potato chips. I had pretty much given up on Frito Lay potato chips, with the exception of …
Reese’s pieces cups chocolate
Reese’s pieces candy bars are absolutely delicious and they are not really a candy bar but two cup cake shapes that are chocolate and these candies taste just freaking awesome but the only real downfall to these chocolates are that they are very small and they absolutely are not …
Jack in the Box: Sirloin Burger
The new Jack in the Box Sirloin Burger is just great. I had one the other day for lunch and it has got to be one of the best steak burgers I have ever had. It was very good and juicy. The burger was fresh and still warm when …
Chunky Beef & Potato Soup
I actually bought Chunky’s Beef & Potato Soup by accident. They had several varieties on sale and I thought I was picking up a different kind. In fact, when I got it home, I was so disappointed; I ended up putting it toward the back of our pantry.
Today, I …
Froot Loops Cereal Straws
Froot Loops cereal straws are surprisingly yummy. I have to admit I was unimpressed with the idea at first. I thought it was gross. Now that I’ve eaten a few I can see their benefit. They are great for on the go, however, they are very fragile and crumbly …
Nestea ice tea Orange 500ml
I’ve always like Nestea ice teas because they always had really nice taste, until not that long ago my favourite taste was peach one and I never liked lemon ones because they were too bitter for my taste. I really like ice-teas specially during the summer because they are …
Vigo Italian Arborio Rice
I was constantly in search of a perfect rice for Risotto. I have seen Giada De Laurentiis made a yummy looking Risotto in Food Network Channel. I want to try it out but I’ve checked Walmart, Target, Kroger but I was not fortunate to find a good Arborio Rice. …
365 Organic Shells and White Cheddar Cheese
365 Organic Shells and White Cheddar Cheese is macaroni and cheese in a box and boy is it ever tasty! Also, being macaroni, it is not only tasty, but filling, too! What I like best about this macaroni and cheese is how the cheese sticks to the macaroni, like …
Uncle Ben’s Sweet & Sour sauce
This sauce has a sweet and sour taste that mixes between them perfectly. It has pieces of crispy vegetables in it pineapple and bamboo shoots. You can use it with pasta, rice but also with meat only and it tastes really great.
I was pretty sceptical when I first saw …
Palermo’s Frozen Pizza
My husband is on the road a lot of the time for work. When he is home we have to have the full meal deal. When he is gone, my girls and I slack off in the cooking department. Like most kids, my girls like frozen pizza’s as well …

Nut Farms Australia Fancy Cashews
One of my gifts from my in-laws this past Christmas was a container of Fancy Farms Australia Fancy Cashews.
Because I know they don’t have a lot of money to spend during the holidays, I figure they picked up this particular gift at a dollar store. However, I will say …
Rich’s Ice Cream Vanilla Sandwich Low Fat
Rich’s Ice Cream Vanilla Sandwich Low Fat is not that bad really. For a low fat product, this ice cream sandwich really retains a whole lot of flavor, quite surprisingly. The vanilla is fairly rich and creamy and even though the vanilla flavor is slightly subdued due to the …
Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA
Today I am going to be reviewing Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA. I love regular Sierra Nevada Pale Ale but the IPA version is just awesome. I can still remember the first day I tried one at my friends house. The taste of it was so good when it was …
Eve Hot Pepper Sauce
As of recently, I have found that I have developed an addiction to hot pepper sauce on my food even though I did not desire the taste of it a few years ago, and worse detested spicy food when I was little. This is why I was delighted to …
Tiramisu Meltdown Red Ribbon Cake
I never really liked cakes, and sweet stuffs. I bought this cake in a red ribbon store to celebrate with our friends and thought it would add glamour to our festivity. Having know that specialty cakes in Red Ribbon are a bit expensive, not for a regular get together …
Great Value Whole Kernel Corn
One of the side dishes I decided to make with dinner last night was sweet corn from the brand Great Value.
I have had Great Value products in the past and have been happy with them for the most part but will confess this particular item was a disappointment to …
Voortman Coconut Cookies
I am not a big fan of using coconut for cooking nor do I like to eat raw coconut as a snack but I love sweets made with toasted dry coconut shreds or bits.
There is just something amazing about the aroma of toasted coconut and the chewy texture and …
Amport Foods Dried Blueberries
Almost addictive, these amazingly tiny dried blueberries pack tremendous flavor and are supposedly a fat free source of antioxidants. In a blue and clear 4 ounce plastic bag with a handy recloseable seal, they retain a little softness (not leathery like some dried fruits). They work well as a …
Combos Cheddar Cheese Cracker Snacks
I used to love buying the “Combos Cheddar Cheese Cracker Snacks” for some time when I was a teenager since I loved cheesy snacks, especially ones which had real cheese in them. I also liked the “Combos Cheddar Cheese Cracker Snacks” because I had recently learned about the ingredient …

I bought a Snickers Candy Bar the other day and I had to write a review on it. I think that this is a very tasty and good candy bar. I must say that the flavor is very good, and I like the chewy inside of it. Another thing …
Lean Cuisine Chicken Enchilada Suiza
Lean Cuisine fills a niche in the American life. I cannot tell you if they sell it anywhere else because when I am abroad I don’t go looking for frozen food. You eat a Lean Cuisine usually because you are watching your weight and are either too …
Bongbong’s Special Piaya
In the Philippines, it is a popular practice to bring home a souvenir to your family and friends whenever you leave home and travel locally called a pasalubong. The more popular pasalubong are foods that are made locally. Each region has a specialty and if you are ever in …
Anchor Full Cream Milk
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 …
Safeway White Cake White Iced Slice
I decided to pick up this cake slice because, let’s just face it every once in a while we’re in a cake sort of mood.
I like the idea of buying a small amount of cake. This slice as they call it is actually enough to slice up and feed …
Cloverhill Bakery - Jumbo Glazed Honey Bun
While I most certainly cannot say that the Cloverhill Bakery - Jumbo Glazed Honey Bun offers much at all in terms of nutritional value, I most definitely can say that it is full of flavor and filling as well! The sugar and the honey certainly do a number on …
Great Value Lasagna
My wife decided to pick up dinner last night and I was a bit surprised when I got home and found she picked up a lasagna from the brand Great Value.
We have had this brand in the past but, when she got it, I wasn’t really sure if I …
Tofuking Northern Tofu
Since I decided to convert to be a vegetarian having a tofu in almost all of my dishes at home makes my cooking even more appealing most especially that I particularly make lots of dishes that need tofu on it as a good substitute for a red meat or …
Jaffa choco-crispy cream yogurt
Every now and then in the local shop I find some Freska Vindija products on discount. I really like discounts and as I really like yogurts I can rarely resist a yogurt on a discount, especially if it looks as good as this one. I kind a got sick …
Kroger Mild Picante Sauce
When shopping for salsa, I often find that it is more economical to go for the store brand than the national brands. Usually the national brands cost in the area of $2.50 per 16-ounce jar, whereas the store brands are often in the area of $2.00. So to me …
Michelina’s Four Cheese Lasagna
This frozen dinner doesn’t even look like traditional lasagna. It’s not in a square or rectangular shape and it doesn’t have meat, either. This is a lasagna dish that’s all about the cheese and noodles. The blending of four cheeses is the highlight of this frozen dinner. There’s ricotta …
