Morton’s Sea Salt (Coarse Salt)
I love salty food, and I buy a lot of different salts. This is one, though, that I have found isn’t that great on the food after it is prepared. The only exception is for pretzels. It really is great for those. For other foods, …
Gardenia Mongo Loaf
One of the best bread in the Philippines is Gardenia. But it’s sad to say that it is not yet available all throughout the country yet. It’s very well known in the National Capital Region but not yet distributed in the Eastern and the Southern part of the country. …
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 …
Thomas’s English Muffins
Thomas’s i think makes some of the most fantastic english muffins ever. They taste great and are very easy to prepare. The package comes with eight english muffins you can toast them on eat them right out of the package.
One of my favorite thinsg to do is to make …
Diet Dr. Pepper
Now, I like Diet Dr. Pepper, but I don’t agree with the commercials that it taste like the original. Or, that it doesn’t taste like a diet drink. I do think it’s the best tasting diet drink I’ve tried. It doesn’t have the bad “sweetener” aftertaste like …
Arizona Southern Style Real Brewed Sweet Tea
Arizona is a company that mostly produces commercial drinks such as canned and bottled juices, ice teas and other cold beverages. For this review I will be focusing on one of the flavors that Arizona provides called —˜Sweet Tea’. This is a large can of ice tea that is …
Cascadian Farm Organic Granola Bars
My husband and I decided to try a low salt, low fat diet so I could lose my baby weight, as well as lower my blood pressure, which was high from my pregnancy. I always find myself in need of a mid afternoon snack, so my blood sugar doesn’t …
Talenti Gelato in Tahitian Vanilla Bean
I really like the Talenti brand, and I buy a lot of their gelato flavors, despite the high price; however, the Tahitian Vanilla Bean, while a good base for other desserts, is not one of their best flavors.
At about $5 per pint, this is a fairly expensive ice …
Ma Ling Luncheon Meat
Ma Ling is a brand most popularly known as —˜luncheon meat’ in the Philippines. It hails from China. There have been a lot of bad things about this that have been posted on the internet. However, there are still a lot of Ma Ling cans of Luncheon meat in …
Little Debbie Mini Donuts Chocolate Frosted
Little Debbie Mini Donuts Chocolate Frosted are positively terrible! The chocolate frosting really does not taste a whole lot like chocolate to me. There is a hint of chocolate flavor, but it is accompanied by something else that is really
quite, well, bad. I do not know what it is …
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Chocolate
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Chocolate is a delicious variety that I feel will appeal to chocolate lovers and even those that only have a lukewarm taste for chocolate, like myself. This chocolate pudding is so very rich and real in flavor that it is very easy to just keeping …
Cadburys
Who does not like to have the chocolates? The chocolates are my weakness and I just love to have it at any time and anywhere. The Cadburys chocolates are again my favourite ones. The taste of these chocolates is very good and can’t be beaten by any …
Little Debbie Cheese Danish
The Little Debbie Cheese Danish is a pretty flavorful snack that I enjoy having now and then! The cream cheese filling is quite delicious and rather rich as well as plentiful! It really excites my taste buds when I bite into one of these danishes! Wow! The swirl of …
Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Cheese Danish
I really was not all that impressed with Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Cheese Danish. The reason I was not impressed is because the blueberry flavor was not nearly as terrific as I had hoped that it would be. Although there was most certainly a blueberry flavor to the danish, the …
Fit & Active Light Mayonnaise
Fit & Active Light Mayonnaise comes in a thirty-two ounce jar for one dollar and eighty-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. Light mayonnaise is an option for those that enjoy the flavor of the condiment but dislike the fat and calories. I myself don’t think that this light …
McCain Cool Quenchers drink mix
We bought four containers of McCain’s Cool Quenchers frozen juice concentrate last time we went grocery shopping. We chose to try these particular drink mixes because they were on sale - we usually just get regular store brand frozen juice mix or juice in those big bottles. But these …
Season’s Choice Crinkle Cut Fries
Product Description: A bag of crinkle cut French fries. My wife found these at our local Aldi for around $1.50 and we ended up having them for dinner last night (making them in our oven).
What I liked about this product: Well, for one, I obviously cannot argue with the …
Nestle fruit yogurt
Nestle fruit yogurt is a delicious food that contains live microorganism which protects digestive tract. I always have daily supply of yogurt to prevent constipation and have a proper digestion. I like the fruit selection yogurt from Nestle because of its wonderful taste which have a real fruit tidbits …
Little Debbie Snacks Donut Sticks
Little Debbie Snacks Donut Sticks are really quite good! They are basically a glazed donut, but in the form of a rather long stick rather than a circle. They are quite sweet and decent size, although I wish that they would put more than just six in a box. …
NY Texas Toast
Take a huge slice of french bread, addd butter, garlic and some parmesan cheese, and you’ll have NY Texas Toast. I really love this bread, it makes a wonderful snack after work. This is also a really great thing to have on hand when you’re cooking an authentic italian …
Knorr Pasta Sides Chicken
The name of this Pasta Side might be a little misleading because there actually isn’t any bits or pieces of chicken in this Pasta Side. What is in this Pasta Side is a sauce that has the flavor of chicken. The sauce, although thicker than the broth in a …
Michelina’s Frozen Dinners
We have a lot of frozen dinners in our house just because they are convenient on days when we are rushed (which is often).
In an effort to cut back on our food budget, we decided to buy some frozen dinners from the Michelina’s brand. They were definitely cheaper, but …
Betty Crocker Dutch Chocolate Fudge Brownies
Recently my mother and I decided to do some baking since we hadn’t done any in a long time, and we were going to be using the oven to bake something else as well. Thus, we decided on getting a cake mix, but when we were in the supermarket …
Smarties candy
One of my all-time favorite kinds of candy is Smarties. They are the small candies that come wrapped, 15 to a roll. They are a slightly sour candy and kind of have a fruit taste to them. I have seen them come in three size bags. …
Berkley and Jensen Pistachios
Recently, a friend of my father’s came back from abroad and he brought a few gifts and treats for use back with him. One of those was a pack of “Berkley and Jensen Pistachios”.
Now I like pistachio nuts, but had never heard of the Brand Berkley and Jensen, …
Yoplait Light & Fat Free Apple Turnover Yogurt
I am constantly trying to find items that help with my diet. I like yogurt. I went to Mars supermarket on Wise Ave, In Baltimore MD and found a new flavor. Yoplait Light and Fat Free Apple Turnover Yogurt comes in 6oz plastic blue and white cups with …
Great Value Thinly Sliced Beef Philly Steak
My husband is a big fan of tacos, so we often make them at home. I usually used hamburger meat for them; then one day we had come across Great Value Thinly Sliced Beef Philly Steak at Walmart. The picture on the box showed sliced beef inside a hotdog …
Bar S Hot Dogs
My wife decided to make hot dogs for dinner last night (I think she was determined to make sure the kids ate dinner without a fight so we could get them to bed early). When she made them, I expected her to pull out a pack of Oscar Mayer …
Hostess Mini Muffins Chocolate Chip
I did not care for these Hostess Mini Muffins Chocolate Chip variety because not only did I find these mini muffins to be on the dry side and even somewhat stale, but the chocolate chip flavor was not that rich really. If anything, the chocolate chip flavor seemed to …
Club House la grille Marinade - Lemon and Black Pepper
With two young children, it is hard to find time to make anything but quick, simple meals. Chicken is a staple in our house, and our regular chicken dishes quickly get boring. I picked up a bottle of Lemon and Black Pepper Marinade from
Club House in desperation to spice …
The Vitamin Shoppe Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Organic coconut oil should be in the “superfood” group. It has outstanding health benefits and even tastes great. Since my family began eating healthy, we began looking for a good coconut oil. We wanted a quality product that was organic. We also wanted a good …
Fit & Active Vegetable Beef Homestyle Soup
The Fit & Active Vegetable Beef Homestyle Soup can be purchased from ALDI Food Market stores. One eighteen point six ounce can costs one dollar and nineteen cents. This is a filling and flavorful soup that isn’t high in sodium. The reduced sodium isn’t that noticeable because of all …
Diet Moxie
Moxie is a soda that has been around since 1884. I had heard of it previously on the travel network as well as the CBS Sunday Morning show. On a recent trip to New Hampshire I decided I was going to try Moxie. Since I almost always drink diet …
Alexia Crunchy Snacks - Waffle Fries Hot Pepper
Alexia Crunchy Snacks - Waffle Fries Hot Pepper is a flavor variety that I never really cared for and thus never purchased again. I do enjoy spicy chips and flavors, but I personally did not think that these waffle fries offered a very hot or spicy or strong flavor. …
Best Choice Frozen Homestyle French Toast Sticks
I love to have a few quick breakfast options in the freezer for days when we are in a big rush to get out the door! One of my children’s favorites are French toast sticks. I usually buy the name brand French toast sticks, but we are …
Armour Turkey Meatballs
Product Description: Bag of seasoned meatballs from the Armour brand that are made out of turkey rather than beef. I found these last night at one of our local grocery stores for around $3.
What I liked about this product: The main reason I ended up buying this product was …
Lo-Carb Monster Energy Drink
Lately I’ve been finding myself waking up sluggish and my internal engine doesn’t quite turn over. I can only drink coffee occasional, so I’ve found myself starting my day with a muffin and a Lo-Carb Monster Energy drink.
I drink the 16 ounce can which is supposed to be two …
Cottee’s Coola Lime Flavoured Cordial
I have been drinking Cottee’s flavoured cordial since I was a young child. Even now as an adult, I find that I still drink it on a daily basis. I don’t really like plain water on it’s own, so I find that Cottee’s cordial is the perfect …
Eating Right Banana Nut Cereal
I only purchased this cereal once from Tom Thumb and that’s because it proved to be a disappointment. The box was only about fifteen ounces and the price was over three dollars and fifty cents, but I recall purchasing it because it sounded pretty good. This cereal was supposed …
Bacardi Breezer Blueberry and Guava Flavours
When it comes to alcoholic beverages, I am not a fan of coolers, such as those made with run, vodka, wine or tequila, to name a few. The main reason is that I find most of them far too sweet for my taste, and I much prefer to mix …
Brunswick Flaked Tuna With Lemon and Pepper
I love trying new foods unlike a lot of other people, especially since I find that I tend to get bored very easily. I guess the other part of it is that I feel like the world is my oyster, and I like to try most things at least …
Quaker Instant Oatmeal Maple&Brown Sugar (lower sugar)
Oatmeal is my go-to breakfast: it tastes great (if cooked right), it doesn’t take much time to cook, it’s healthy, it suites most people’s needs (it’s usually vegan, it’s gluten free and I don’t know anybody who’s allergic to oatmeal) and it’s cheap. Seriously, is there a better breakfast option? …
Bush’s Homestyle Chili Original
Bush’s Homestyle Chili Original with no beans comes in a jar that can be cooked either on the stove top or in the microwave. I am not a fan of chili because of the beans, but Bush’s Homestyle Chili Original, No Beans gives me an option I can enjoy.
The …
Selecta Choco Almond Fudge Ice Cream
Being a true-blue chocolate lover, I was excited to try this new flavor from Selecta’s ice cream selection. I bought the 800ml pint of Choco Almond Fudge for only approximately $2.80, and with that price it’s really not that expensive for something that 2 persons can share to, maybe …
Brisk Sweet Tea
Tea is one of my favorite drinks to sip on throughout the day. Because I love tea so much, I am a very big critic of it. I absolutely hate harsh teas that leave a sour taste in my mouth. I recently saw a bottle of tea on sale …
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 …
Deluxe Mixed Nuts
Great Value Deluxe Mixed Nuts contains cashews, almonds, Brazil nuts, and pecans, slightly salted. A 10 oz can costs $3.96, which I think is a little too much for the Great Value brand, usually so well-priced. The mixed nuts are very good as a party snack. When we have …
Pop-Tarts Splitz
I am a big fan of Pop-Tarts pastries so I decided to buy the new half chocolate, half strawberry Splitz box. Previously I enjoyed both chocolate and strawberry flavors, but I wondered if it would be a good combination if they were mixed. The pastry itself has chocolate filling …
Chipster’s Potato Chips
The first time I heard of the product CHipster’s potato chips was a little after I gratuated from high school or maybe I was about to graduate. I heard it advertising on the radio a lot and judged by the accents of people used to advertise them that the …
Folgers 100% Columbian Coffee
I start every day with a cup of coffee, and the quality of that cup of coffee sets the mood for the quality of the upcoming day. Too weak a cup of coffee tends to lead to a lackluster day, and too strong a cup of coffee just …
