I just recently started using All Natural Butter Buds Sprinkles instead of butter. I was looking at the grocery store for something healthier with a butter flavor. I bought some and tried it. It was really good. It tasted just like butter. I sprinkled …

Shorty’s BBQ is one of the best places to eat in Toledo. Anytime family or friends from out of town visit, we always take them on a trip to Shorty’s. The service is excellent, and the staff is friendly. The first thing you notice at Shorty’s is the smell—¦ …

Out of the many branded diary products I use, Sanchi sweet milk is my favorite. Whenever I go for a jog, I always have at least one bottle of them, and at time two as well! Sanchi products are all delivered in authorized Sanchi dairy, which have many branches all …

And the green tea marketshare war lives on with the launch of Coca-Cola’s Real Leaf Green Tea.
A few years back, sodas ruled the Philippine beverage market. Beverage war was limited to Coke vs Pepsi. Enter John Gokongwei’s C2 Green Tea and the rest was history. Green tea drinks …

I had never heard of Thumann’s Beef Frankfurters when I came across them in the grocery store, but I nonetheless purchased them because at the time, I had not yet found a store sold hot dog that I was satisfied with. This did not turn out to be the …

I buy bottle water at about 5-6 cases at a time because the overall water quality in Albuquerque is fairly poor. Nestle Pure Life water is my preferred brand because it does not taste like it has had tons of special minerals added to it so there is …

These little drink bottles shaped like mini barrels for kids with the foil cap are pretty neat, but they do have a few drawbacks. I can buy them at a little mom and pop grocery store in singles here in Fort Wayne, or in a case there or …

After seeing another one of her other cakes, I wanted to try this one. Though, I’m not crazy about lemon flavored food items, this cake actually turned out to be the best. The frosting can be a little sweet for some but for me it was just fine. However, …

These crackers are downright addicting, I tell you! Once I start eating a pack of these flaky and buttery crackers, before I know it, half of the pack is done and gone! Sometimes I think I can feel up on these alone! Another positively terrific thing about these crackers …

I confess — I’m not big on organics. I’m traditional with my food, and organic products tend to cost more than regular foods, but I recently took a chance and purchased Newman’s Own Organics - Champion Chip Cookies. I was prepared to hate them. I hesitantly broke …

For lunch today I had a meatball sub from quiznos for lunch and I have to say I was pretty disappointed in the subs quality. I get meatball subs from Subway quite often and thought that one from quiznos would be just as good if not better. The Quiznos …

Usually, I am pretty apprehensive about eating frozen meats. Frozen hamburgers especially are weird to me because they typically have a processed taste. Even when they are cooked under the best conditions, they can still taste like they came from a bunch of different parts of …

I love to drink sprite because in my opinion it is one of the best drinks and it goes along side almost anything. I love Sprite and I have been drinking it for years. One of the main reasons that I love Sprite is because I know …

This is one exotic pizza that I tried once and have had my fill of for a lifetime! It can be found at Walmart in the deli section for just around six dollars for a twelve inch pizza. It may very well be that this pizza is well made …

For two dollars, I think this is a great little snack. It is delicious and I get them frequently. You can get the snack wrap grilled or crispy, but grilled is healthier and actually tastes much better than crispy. You can also get wraps in barbecue and ranch, though …

Mrks self sanctuary body butter in grapefruit ginger has its pros and cons. Pros first, the scent is incredible, very strong floral citrus scent that lingers for a long time. Second, it leaves the skin feeling incredibly soft afterwards. The very thick cream smooths on well …

Launched in the 1980’s, Hershey’s Nuggets were originally individual treats only, sold in …

I’ve always enjoyed Sorrento’s many fine cheese products both in cooking and simply as a healthy and quick snack. Recently I tried their “Sticksters” cheese for kids (although grown ups can eat it too!). It is along the same idea as the stringsters type of cheese but the sticksters …

I like cheesecake. It has always been a creamy sweet dessert that I can really enjoy. The only problem is that I personally don’t know how to make cheesecake. Also, I don’t like buying ready made cheesecake at the store because it is extremely expensive compared to the other …

Trying out vegan stuff has become one of my obsessions lately. There are so many dairy and meat alternatives at the store now, it blows my mind. I’m a vegatarian and I eat dairy, however, I’m cutting it out a lot, I don’t use regular milk in any recipes anymore, …

Wow another product from Coca-Cola, the Coke ZERO. I don’t mind that Coca-Cola already has too many variants - Cherry Coke, Vanilla Coke, Lemon Coke and so on and so forth. Zero is my favorite. Coke Zero was obviously made for sugar conscoius individuals, it boasts of containing no …

I don’t care what brand I try, be it Pepperidge Farm, New York Style, Mama Cozzi’s, whatever, they all offer a five cheese Texas Toast and they all stink. When something reads “Five Cheese”, I personally think I’m in for something that’s going to be super cheesy, rich in …

I buy these cookies nearly every week. They’re not only crispy delicious, they’re fun to eat too, as each one is really shaped like a butterfly.
I also love the box packaging, as what you see in the picture is what you get inside. The cookies are also …

This ‘Sour Cream & Chives Dip’ from The Co-operative’s own brand is a lot tastier and creamier than I thought it was going to be and I shall be buying this again. I was tempted by this because I had some carrots left over that were not doing …

White oats, a good product for easy cooking and preparing a healthy and enriched meal; you can use it to bake cakes, make deserts and prepare soups and meals. Or if you’re run out of time in the morning just pour 2 spoon full of it to a cup …

Rice cakes, when they first came out, used to be dry and flavourless - something like eating paper. Now, rice cakes are no longer so dry, and definitely not flavourless. The savoury tomato & basil rice cakes from Quaker boast of 0 trans fat, 1.5 g fat, and 50 …

As a perpetual dieter and a fast food fan, I was immediately curious about the Taco Bell “Drive-thru diet” when I heard about it on TV. I had tried the famous “Subway diet” years previous and quite enjoyed it and found it effective. Looking further into Taco …

For years, I’ve walked by Entenmann’s products in the pastry and bread aisle of my store. I’ve never actually purchased one of their products before, but a few days back, I saw a package of their Cinnamon Donuts that had a promotional price to it, so I thought …

Chiz Whiz has been my staple sandwich cheese spread since I was a kid. I usually use it for my sandwiches which I bring to school, or eat it when for snacks during the weekends. I just love the taste and how it blends really well to the taste …

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 …

As a barista, I am always out and about looking to expand my taste horizons when it comes to coffee and espresso in general. After all, how can I expect to recommend different products to customers if I haven’t sampled everything on the market? This product; however, fell into …

I am a bit of a wine fan and I always like to try out the latest offering from my local wine merchant. I reserve the expensive Margaux and Nuits-Saint-Georges for special occasions, so I am not going to be writing about them right now. However, the more popular …

Okay. I have a beef, a big beef, and I regret to say that it has absolutely nothing to do with hamburger, sirloin burgers, or any other food that has anything remotely related to beef. Rather, my beef is with this so called Arby’s Value Soft Drink.
Value? …

I like to have KFC when I go out to the mall sometimes or when I go to the beach. Sometimes I just have it on a whim with my dad and when we buy a standard KFC meals (which is usually fries and chicken) we always add KFC’s …

I bought Michelina’s Rice Pilaf Florentine dinner, for something different to eat. This dinner is from Michelina’s Avantage line, they do not call it ‘diet food’, or ‘weight maintenance food’although that is exactly what this Avantage line is.
I thought it would be a tasty dinner, and boy was I …

The Enviro Kidz Organic Leapin’ Leamur cereal is a peanut butter and chocolate cereal. The flavor of the cereal is what more than sold me on it. I love peanut butter and chocolate as a combination. It is probably my favorite combination, so put it in …

Hostess Donettes, like a number of other Hostess products, have been around for quite awhile. That tells me that enough people enjoy them and purchase them for Hostess to keep shipping them out to stores. I personally have never been what one would consider a fan of the mini …

I was cycling through the city trying to discover the little nooks and crannies in this little town of mine with so much history, when I discovered a seemingly popular bakeshop in this part of the world. I alighted from my bicycle and went over to investigate, and I …

We were visiting my cousin recently and the only sugar free drink she had was cherry coke zero. I didn’t particularly like the regular coke zero, but thought I’d give the cherry one a try.
Much to my surprise I liked it! I haven’t had cherry flavored coke in …

Nestle Bear Brand launched its Busog Lusog Family Cereal Drink recently and I was given several packets of it. I have grown up with most of Nestle products, and Bear Brand is the milk that I grew up with, and so I thought that was an assurance of …

Who doesn’t love Chicken Marinara - the combination of fried chicken breast with meaty spaghetti swimming in savory marinara sauce? It seems like a travesty to “healthify” this satisfying dish but Healthy Choice has dared to attempt this. I’ve tried a lot of Healthy Choice Café …

I like cucumber in my salad, but as I quickly found out, I am not too fond of cucumber any other way - and that includes in drink form! I was not crazy about this cucumber flavored water because it simply had a taste to it that was too …
