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 …

I just found out about Gulden’s spicy brown mustard about a month ago when my mom’s husband brought it over for a cook out and forgot to bring it home. So I found it in the fridge and tried some on a turkey sandwich. It was delicious!
Gulden’s …

Cedarlane Low Fat Garden Vegetable Lasagna is not a frozen dinner that I consider to be above average and for that reason, I will not be purchasing it again. After all the frozen dinners that I have tried over the years, I have developed a list of frozen dishes …

There is a lot of dieter’s tea on the market and some of them are from China. I used the one called Dieter’s delight tea for dieting and I can tell you that it has some safety issues there. The tea is for you to control your appetite …

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 …

I find Mrs. Freshley’s Powdered Mini Donuts to be almost as good as the cinnamon variety. The reason I say “almost” is because I personally prefer cinnamon to powdered sugar, although the powdered sugar used on these donuts is really quite enjoyable and offers a real delightful flavor. I …

I am a fan of Peanut Butter and although it is usually the brand named one that I buy as I do think it is the best one, I like to try cheaper brands as I may end up really liking it and therefore it will end up saving …

Hebrew National Beef Franks have been around for a long time, but I’ve never tried them until recently. Frankly (not to be pun-ful here), I really prefer not to think about what is in a hot dog. I know it’s not the best stuff, but like the …

Breyers Snickers Caramel Swirl Chunk is a decent ice cream that combines the chocolaty, crunchy traits of a Snickers bar with smooth vanilla ice cream and caramel swirls. I’m sure that I would like this ice cream more if it had more pieces of Snickers candy bars spread throughout …

Breyers Cherry Vanilla is both a pleasurable experience and a disappointing experience. By that, I mean one flavor real excels and tastes delicious while the other flavor really comes up short and leaves my taste buds wondering just what happened. Had both flavors been exceptionally good, this ice cream …

I will admit that I am a fan of meat pies. Yes, I did have them as a kid, but as an adult, I have rediscovered this wonderful meal. Of course, I have not yet and do not plan to actually cook or bake this dish myself, and I do …

I’ve been a vegetarian for quite a while and because of that I know how many foods contain gelatin. I have learned to check the labels and ingredients lists and it’s crazy how many foods actually have gelatin hiding in them. It’s different yogurts, chewy candie, gummy bears, chocolate desserts, …

Campbell’s Condensed Beef with Vegetables and Barley Soup is different from Campbell’s cream soups - it is visibly thinner in consistency. However, it is still condensed, so you need to add 1 can of water when you cook it. Just like with other Campbell soups, you can cook it …

It’s nothing new when we hear of parents having difficulty trying to get their children to eat their vegetables. We all know how essential veggies are to one’s health and nutrition for young and old alike. Funny though, how we wonder why most of our offspring prefer meat to …

What attracted me to try this sandwich was not the chicken, or the applewood-smoked bacon, or the smoked cheddar, or even Panera’s tomato basil loaf bread. It was the ancho chipotle spread, which is a creamy, spicy and smoky spread that’s supposed to meld the components of the …

Caffine free diet coke is a product that finds itself in niche place in the market, its a drink that can be enjoyed by people who have intolerance to caffeine or those, like myself, who find themselves becoming addicted to the regular coke.
Before I talk about the most …

We went to buy a red wine which my hubby and I preferred to drink that night to unwind since he will have three days off. We ask a sales attendant to give us a bottle of sweet wine which is not that expensive so he gave us Madera …

It is so funny to actually look …

I like these Little Debbie Fall Party Cakes - Vanilla variety better than the chocolate variety simply because I like vanilla more than chocolate. The cake consists of yellow cake, a white, creme filling, as well as vanilla frosting and shades of autumn sprinkles. Really, this treat looks more …

This is great pasta from Tesco’s own brand because it is so easy to cook and it just refuses to get stuck together. I am not a patient cook and sometimes I even forget to stir my pasta as I get involved in something else, but I have …

Great Value Sour cream and Onion Potato Chips are surprisingly tasty and a great value as the name suggests. I purchased a large bag of sour cream and onion chips at Wal-Mart, the manufacturer for an unbeatable price of $1.50 for a twelve ounce bag. I did not expect these …

Activia is an amazingly delicious and healthy yogurt that I have come across, and now they have added dessert flavors to their list of many delicious yogurt flavors. The Vanilla Dessert flavor of Activia yogurt gives an amazing authentic flavor of vanilla like I would find in an ice …

I buy a lot of items at Aldi’s grocery stores. Most are pretty good and, save me money. However, they have a frozen pizza line called Mama Cozzi that is really disappointing. In my 6 year old daughter’s opinion (which I value highly), the final verdict is “Eweeyuck!” I …

I love Almond Butter. It is a special treat that hits the spot and kills sugar cravings for me. There is one problem and that is the price. I generally see prices range from $5.99 to $13.99 for a 12oz (340g) container. I purchased MaraNatha Almond butter partly …

I recently purchased a can of Wylwood potato slices when I did our monthly shopping trip for canned vegetables. This was the first time I have bought this brand and wasn’t really sure what to expect. But, it turned out to be worth the money.
The potatoes both came in …

Every October, Halloween-themed cereals become a common sight in grocery stores, but just recently, I’ve started to notice Halloween-themed treat bars.

Being a huge fan of fried chicken, I have ordered it in many different places, and I believe I can say that fried chicken served at Culver’s is very close to be the best of the best. It is always soft and juicy inside, while the outside is that …

Wendy’s - Baconator is a burger that can be hit or miss. The burger comes with a total six strips of bacon that is hickory smoked and whenever bacon comes on or with something, I am typically cautious. The reason I am cautious is because bacon a lot of …

Well, I finally broke down, on doctor’s orders and started drinking Green Tea. I tried a couple of brands and then I tried Lipton’s. I’ve been drinking other Lipton teas all of my life so I figured their Green Tea would be a good bet. My …
