My parents surprised us the other day by buying a bunch of meat from Recheks Food Pride here in town and giving us half of it (money has been a bit tight after having the baby and they wanted to make sure we had something in our freezer).
One of …

I had gone shopping at Morrisons with just cash on me and no cards, so when I found myself with a bit left over I thought I would pick up this extremely cheap, big box of cornflakes. This 500g box cost me only 31p. I am not …

Now may not be the best time for a peanut butter review. It seems like every day there’s yet another recall for some product made of peanut butter or peanut butter paste. That said, the big brands haven’t been involved with the recall, though I suspect their …

I am a bit of a health nut when it comes to my food, I always try to go natural and organic with everything. But to be honest, I had never heard of this cereal until my boyfriend brought it home for me one day. I’m so glad he …

I’ve always loved the Cadbury brand of chocolate, so when I noticed Cadbury also made ice cream I was curious to see whether or not it was as good as their chocolate products. The Cadbury Ice Cream was labelled as “Creamy Vanilla” which I thought sounded very …

Ketchup is probably my most frequently reached for condiment. While I like mustard and relish and plenty of other common condiments, ketchup has been my favorite since I was a kid. Ketchup isn’t just for French fries, after all, although I don’t go quite as far as some folks …

When it comes to chocolate chip cookie dough, I am completely obsessed with it. If it wasn’t for the FDA or the CDC saying eating raw cookie dough can put you at risk for E. coli, I’d probably consume it on a regular. So, imagine the joy on my …

Morning Star Farms Meal Starters Chik’N Strips are fabulous! Yes, I know it’s not real chicken but you won’t even be able to tell, honest. At first, I thought a chicken substitute couldn’t possibly be any good but I have changed my mind.
I buy an eight ounce …

Munchies Ultimate Cheddar Mix is easily a big improvement over the Munchies Traditional Mix and that is largely in part due to the addition of the cheddar flavor. Even though cheddar is not a cheese that I have a whole lot of love for, I do find it to …

The first time I heard about the American instant drink Kool Aid was when I was still a child in the nineteen nineties. I am still not completely sure as well as to whether it just came in the island at that time, however, I could remember thinking after …

I’m trying to lose a little bit of weight and, one way I am doing that (successfully, I might add), is by cutting back on the amount of soda I drink simply by not drinking any while I’m at work; just water.
A side effect of that is, by 2 …

The L’oven Fresh Center Split White Deli Rolls can be purchased from ALDI Food Market stores. In one package comes six deli rolls for one dollar and forty-nine cents. I have purchased these deli rolls a handful of times now and I’ve been as pleased with them as a …

I bought these chocolate yummies a few days ago from Trader Joes. They were around 3 dollars and have 36 in the container. It sounds a bit pricey, but for the quality and taste, its pretty good. The crisps are shaped like Pringles chips and are made with Belgian …

It is a real shame. These Blue Bunny Doubles Ice Cream Bar Smores could have been a pretty tasty treat, but unfortunately, the ball was dropped by Blue Bunny here. The main complaint that I have is the marshmallow flavor is really not that strong. It is actually on …

My daughter loves chocolates and I want to get her the best of them whenever I get a chance to. I know it is not good to pamper your child with chocolates but I cannot resist because chocolates are my favorites too. ‘Leonidas Belgain Chocolates’ are utterly one of …

A while back, Jack in the Box had a free French fries Friday to promote the fact that they are no longer using trans fat in their cooking. This is definitely the trend in fast food chains and restaurants. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but free …

It says on the package: “Delicious bread crisps seasoned with onion”. And I have to agree with that statement. “Bake Rolls” is indeed delicious.
In my quest to limit my intake of chips, I switched to “Bake Rolls”. One package has approximately 90 grams of baked bread crisps. The onion …

Stouffer’s Pepperoni French Bread Pizza is not a variety of pizza that I care for all that much. It is not that I do not like pepperoni, quite the opposite really, but I do not find the pepperoni on this pizza to be too tasty at all. Yes, there …

I snack a lot, I am a junkfood addict! But despite that, I managed to keep my weight in good shape. Most women are so paranoid about our figure and I guess I am one of them. But I found this new snack item on the grocery shelves called …

Butter is a good alternative for cooking oil. And for snack, I can quickly prepare a sandwich by spreading butter such as Dari Creme on bread. Dari Creme has been one of my choices for so long, as a partner for unflavored bread. The old Dari Creme still exists …

Great Value Seasoned French Fries are indeed a great value - a two pound bag for just two dollars and twelve cents cannot be beat. Unfortunately, the fries themselves are not that spectacular. After cooking them for the recommended amount of time at the recommended oven temperature, the fries …

I love my sweets and confections and when it comes to chocolate I sometimes like to treat myself to one of the delicious chocolate bars I have grown up with, that is simply named Tunnocks Caramel. This caramel chocolate bar is pretty expensive which is why I call it …

I bought several boxes of Milford tea about a month ago because there was this contest and you had to send two boxes to win Mazda car. Anyway, one of these teas was Milford Raspberry —“ lemon. I have already tasted one Milford tea with raspberries, and it was …

Oroweat is that brand of bread that has always been a favorite in my household. Not only for its health benefits of being a natural food, with no preservatives, high fructose corn syrup or any other artificial ingredients that plagues most food nowadays. In my opinion it’s the closet to …

Maxim has come out with Mocha Gold, a coffe mix of instant coffee, powdered cream, and sugar, all wrapped neatly in an individual-sized package. Lovely. I’m drinking a cup of it as I’m writing this review, in fact. It’s sweet, without being too sugary, as the sugar content is …

Mrs. Baird’s: Powdered Sugar Donuts Grab N’ Go are mini donuts. In two bites, a mini donut is gone, thus making these small donuts convenient for munching when in an hurry. Of course, considered the mess that powdered sugar makes, I would not recommend eating these if you are …

Amy’s Vegetable Lasagna has set a new standard for frozen lasagna’s everywhere. I am a proud purchaser of Amy’s food and have been for awhile due to their exceedingly high quality and known organic ingredients. Not once have they skimped on taste in any product. A …

I have eaten more frozen meals in my lifetime than most people my age really should. I think of Lean Cuisines as being what single middle aged women eat. I usually eat them when I am home alone or I need to make a meal for myself …

My youngest child told me about Graeter’s French Pot Ice Cream after a teacher brought it to school for students to try. She raved and raved about this ice cream as though it was crazy good compared to any other ice cream I’d ever had. As a total …

Red Gold Tomato Ketchup is available at our United Grocery Outlet Store for .59 cents a bottle. The bottle is 20 ounces and it is a shorter type of bottle which fits better in the door of my refrigerator. Ketchup is one of the condiments in our house that …

For some people mashed potatoes and gravy are a staple in their diet. For me potato salad is usually more my style. There are very few mashed potato recipes that I would eat and enjoy and KFC Mashed Potatoes and gravy falls into that category.
I never ordered mashed potatoes …

I love cereal and I always start the day with a bowl of it in cold milk. A lot of cereals have either been bland or too sweet. Last weekend, I bought Nestle Fitnesse & Fruit cereal and I tell you this cereal was not bland nor was it …

We decided to have pizza last night and, since I knew it wasn’t going to be something that would last us through our late night movie watching, I decided to pick up something to snack on.
The store I was at happened to have Bernie’s Bites Beer Battered Brat Bites …

I love muffins and I’m pleased to see the trend toward overly large, too sweet muffins seems to be coming to a close. Muffins are supposed to be a bread, not a cupcake.
Haggen Foods here in Bellingham seems to be correcting its previous tendency of cakeness and I am …

Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs: Beef XXL Premium Franks are easily the best hot dogs I have ever tasted - from the grocery store, that is. I will not purchase any other hot dogs when shopping because I am very satisfied with both the flavor and the size of these …

One of my favorite thing to drink is real fruit juice. I love orange, apple, and grape. I also love fresh squeezed lemonade. I saw Simply Made Lemonade in the store. I liked the sleek bottle and the label. The lemonade looked fresh because of the color. I decided …

I found the Loretta Instant Mashed Potatoes in the food aisle of Big Lot. Every once in a while I like to eat instant potatoes, and this four cheese variety looked good on the box. The box was marked low in fat, cholesterol free and 0 g of trans …

Ever since I got pregnant, I have been thirsty a lot. Since I can’t drink sodas, I am forced to drink only water and juices to keep my pregnancy weight in line. I recently went to the supermarket and saw this new juice drink from Tropicana. I grabbed one …

Maggi tomato ketchup goes with almost all the dishes and this is my favorite ketchup. The taste of this ketchup is very natural and very close to real. The sour taste is very minimum and sweetness is optimum. This ketchup comes in a glass bottle so it can not …

The Mueller’s brand has always been a must-have when it came to various pastas. I especially love their elbow macaroni because I’m always making macaroni and cheese for big Sunday dinners.
The Mueller’s elbow macaroni comes in two sizes: The regular box and the family size box. I usually buy …

This one’s my favorite coffee mix since way back 2008. My eldest sister introduced this to me one morning when I was hurrying up and had no time for breakfast. She asked me to sit back and relax while she’s preparing for coffee. I hesitated and after just a …

Out of so many brands of instant coffee, I still love to drink Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular instant coffee. The Nescafe 3-in-1 Strong is too strong for me, and the Nescafe 3-in-1 Mild has no coffee taste at all.
At least Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular instant coffee mix has the aroma …

I don’t usually stray from Taco Bell’s main menu. I’ve been eating the same 4 or 5 value meals since I was in fifth grade (save for minor changes to the menu.) Well, I ended up trying a 1/2 pound cheesy potato burrito and loved it, but I didn’t …

I must say, I do not care for Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Chocolate Chunk Cookie as much as I do for the other premium chocolate varieties made by Blue Bunny. The reason is I do not like the chocolate chunks used in this ice cream. It is not …
