Being an avid coffee lover, it is not easy to please me when it comes to a good cup of coffee. My dream home would include a full coffee bar, full of a variety of coffees to choose from!
During the tight economy, along with everyone else I know, …

Growing up, we shopped at Costco where we only had access to the trio of sugary cereals: Lucky Charms, Coco Puffs, and Trix. I never got to try any other type of cereal other than those three and Raisin Bran. Now older, I have no desire to …

I bought this at my local grocery store as I have never tried this particular brand before. It was about $2.50 plus tax and seemed to be great way to have a warm pasta dish for lunch. The italian inspired ingredients really sounded delicious so I bought it. i …

So it seems like nowadays more brands are getting on what I like to call the band wagon of Macaroni and cheese. There’s so many variations out there that sometimes it can get a little overwhelming. Many of us are big fans of Kraft, and know nothing else. I’m …

Often while I’m out during the summer I get incredibly thirsty. Nor does it help any that the temperatures are hovering near ninety with high humidity. To top it off, I’m often walking on foot and that just makes me more parched than ever. I need a drink to …

I am trying to get my family to eat healthier. So, I rarely, if ever, buy junk food for the house (other than the occasional candy bar). My wife, however, has no problem buying a package of cookies on occasion. That’s how we ended up with Chips Deluxe Peanut …

Lipton PureLeaf Green Tea all Natural appears to be new competition in the market for all natural refreshments, or at least I never noticed it before. In fact, I was a bit worried that I would not like it, but decided to give it a try anyways even …

I picked up this Schogetten Dark Chocolate today in Lidl for just 65p for 100g box. I usually have milk chocolate but I just fancied this. Lidl is a bargain supermarket in the UK and a lot of their products are unknown foreign brands like this one, …

I did not find anything all that remarkable or special about Mrs. Freshley’s Red Velvet Creme Cakes. I really did not find anything at all, actually, when it came to this snack. Just like with the pink snowballs, the food coloring makes for an attractive eye catcher, but other …

I went shopping in a new discount grocery store nearby and saw that they had quite a few different versions of Hamburger Helper at a really good price. I hadn’t heard of this particular flavor before and it sounded really good. We love Mexican food (admittedly, this can’t be …

I bought this drink out of curiosity, really. The proclamation of bubbles melting on my tongue enticed me to give Nestle’s latest offering in the heated beverages department a whirl. When boiling water is added, it is true, an impressive crop of bubbles forms, much like when you froth …

Recently, Mountain Dew introduced three new flavors of its popular brand of soft drink. Each has the classic citrus taste and is infused with ginseng. “Voltage” is blue but has a raspberry flavor. “Revolution” is also blue-colored but a lighter, translucent shade, and has a …

I recently bought a box of Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Macaroni. I am not a huge fan of hamburger helper meals as I usually find them too salty; this one by Betty Crocker is the exception to the rule.
This 220 gram box contains elbow macaroni and a dry …

I tried the Dr Oetker Onken Biopot Fat Free Strawberry Yogurt, although I only picked up the fat free one by mistake to be honest! I have not tried this brand of yogurt before so I do not know what the full fat one is like, but …

I’m a person who likes different things, and who likes trying different things. In this case I decided to give Doritos Dinamita: Chile Limon chips a try. Now these chips came out not too long ago, but not recently. Here where I live, I began seeing them first in …

Lentil soup can be a comforting and delicious kind of soup. If it’s made right, it can be delectable. I usually love lentil soup, so when I found this canned soup at Trader Joe’s, I decided to try it. Trader Joe’s has a reputation for making good and wholesome …

I am a major white chocolate lover but I have a hard time getting white chocolate for baking where I live except in this one candy store in a particular mall. I had signed up for a newsletter from The Prepared Pantry which sells a variety of baking ingredients, …

I ussually just stick to chicken tenders when I go to Zaxby’s but today I decided to try something a little bit different off a friends recommendation. I tried out the Kickin Chicken Sandwich.
If you have ever been to Zaxbys then you already really know all of the …

I recently noticed the cafeteria where I work had started to offer more healthy options as side items. Specifically, I found The Better Chip Jalapeno and Sea Salt Tortilla Chips. I love jalapeno flavored chips but until now all that was offered were full fat potato chips. These are …

Hostess Ding Dongs are a whole lot like Hostess Cupcakes. They have a somewhat harder chocolate frosting exterior, a soft chocolate cake interior and have white creme in the middle. There is more creme in Ding Dongs than the cupcakes though, and the Ding Dong itself is a little …

It isn’t very easy to find a good ketchup these days and specially if you don’t want to pay a lot of it. Although I must admit that I’ve tried a lot of expensive ones in my life and that most of them weren’t good. Anyway, about a few …

Stouffer’s Green Pepper Steak is a meal that I have had just one time and I am unsure if I want to purchase a second time. The reason I am unsure is because I liked certain aspects of this meal while other parts disappointed me. The red and green …

I am a chocolate lover but I am also one of those people who loves peanut butter with their chocolate!
Reese’s originally came out with the normal sized peanut butter cups and after a while brought out the mini version of this treat. I have to say I much prefer …

If you are traveling to SW Florida, one of the local favorites is the Working Cow. My entire family has a sweet tooth and is always looking for an ice cream place to eat. Yes, we could go to Dairy Queen or something normal like that. But as we …

Made by Betty Crocker, Hamburger Helper is a skillet dinner mix. It is intended to supplement ground beef so as to produce a “home cooked” meal with a little help from this mix. Hamburger Helper comes in a variety of flavors and …

Hey gentle reader folk, guess what time it is?
It’s blatantly fake lunch pail time again!
Once more, I’m working on my fitness and diet to “pre-treat” the bad holiday habits with soup. On the docket today is Campbell’s Chunky Manhattan Clam Chowder. Is it a good product? Is it a …

Doral is a middle tier cigarette maker. They don’t quite reach the ranks of, say, Marlboro or Camel, but they aren’t a cheapie generic brand either: they are comfortably in the middle. So when I recently bought a pack of Doral Lights, I was expecting a pretty …

My biggest problem with this thirty count variety pack packaged and released by M & M Mars is that it’s very uneven in the different number of chocolate candy bars. By that, I mean, while there’s thirty Snickers bars, there’s only three 3 Musketeers. There’s eight Twix bars but …

This product has become my HG, i can’t get enough of it. It’s so light and refreshing and just makes you feel good. It comes in a black plastic spritzer bottle (Basic but Lush make a big thing about their boring, basic packaging with all the recycling business). After …

I love ice cream and the maple flavour is one of those special flavours that I love in nearly any type of confection. I first saw Flavarite Maple Almond Ice Cream selling at a local grocery store and I was curious as to how this would taste. So I …

The Creme Egg Twisted bar from Cadbury’s has been out since last year but I have only just noticed it so I had to try it. I adore Creme Eggs which I am sure you will be familiar with —“ white and yellow sugary fondant within thick, egg-shaped …

When I was younger I adored chocolate with nuts but later I just stopped liking it. I don’t know why. Than about 2 months ago I rediscovered it. This my rediscovery didn’t happen with Lindt Milk and nuts chocolate but with some other one from another brand but once …

Yummy to Spinach Soup totally. Not only this soup is nutritious, I also find that the taste is pretty airy and light and gives a fast full reaction in my stomach. The idea of this combined with some bread to dip in is also quite enticing.
Normally, if I …

Are you someone that loves to eat sushi and Japanese food? If you do then you are probably someone that likes to search for new restaurants to explore. One of the myths about eating sushi is the notion that you need to spend a lot of money to enjoy …

Bake House Halloween Sugar Cookie Dough is found in the refrigeration case in stores that specialize in generic brands such as ALDI Food Market stores. The dough comes in two different designs: orange pumpkins or brown and white ghosts. These are nothing but sugar cookies, so they are somewhat …

Pickles and chips just seem to go together with burgers or sandwiches of any kind. I was very happy when I found these dill pickle flavored potato chips because I love pickles, I always have a big jar of them in the refrigerator.
I like foods with very strong flavors …

Well, I was introduced to Iron Beer a few monthes ago by a friend, and I felt it was good enough to make me write a review.
At first glance, the can looks a little like a Doctor Pepper can with the deep red color, but has a distinct, yellow, …

My family enjoys the taste of homemade cookies. Our family loves either peanut butter or chocolate chip. With my work schedule and so much to do over the weekends, I really do not have a lot of time to spend on baking homemade cookies from scratch. …

I’ve tried many stuffed chicken breasts, but I never had the opportunity to try the ones with the butter in them. I wasn’t sure about getting more than one box of the Barber Foods Kiev stuffed chicken breasts because not all garlic butter is good butter.
I put the chicken …

I have to say that I’m a little particular when it comes to cookies and cream flavored ice cream. Unless the ice cream itself is really good, I won’t like it. I’ve had a lot that used cheap ice cream and loaded it down with cookies to make it …

We made Pork Chops last night for dinner and, to go with it, my wife decided to make the last bag of Season’s Choice vegetables in our freezer, their Italian Blend.
Those vegetables were OK but weren’t as good as other vegetables we have purchased from this particular brand in …

I find these Little Debbie Dessert Cakes - Chocolate to be a little on the bland side. The reason I find them to be bland is because the chocolate cake just does not seem all that rich or moist, really. The chocolate flavor is simply not as delicious and …

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 …

At 58 cents for a two liter bottle, Sam’s Cola beats Coke and Pepsi by a long shot, pricewise. At the same time it has good, classic Cola taste that is not any worse, in my opinion, than the above mentioned popular brand names. Sam’s Cola wastes no money …

Baskin-Robbins is a world renowned brand of quality ice cream. The brand is indeed, one of the best ice cream’s I have had. I am a complete ice cream freak and regularly buy a tub of Baskin-Robbins ice cream whenever I do my grocery shopping.
Apart from the classic flavours, …

I was at a friend’s BBQ several months back when I had the opportunity to try a new kind of soda called “Stars and Stripes”. I really enjoyed the pineapple soda that I had and I was very curious as to where she had gotten these sodas. …

African Shea Butter is the best of the natural vegetable butters, including Cocoa Butter. It is great for rejuvenating and moisturizing the skin. It contains the essential vitamins needed to make the skin look and feel smooth, soft, and healthy. The fatty acid it contains helps protect the skin …

I am not usually very crazy about some of those older thriller and suspense movies from back in the sixties, but once or twice one or two might catch my eye, and one of those that did is the movie “fail Safe.” After watching it I can honestly say …

Had I not tried the all-natural vanilla and French vanilla flavors first, I think I would have considered this variety to be my favorite vanilla ice cream. Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Homemade Vanilla is a delicious ice cream, but unfortunately, is is neither as rich in vanilla flavor …

The Asian Noodle Stir Fry is not one of my favorite dishes by Amy’s Meals. The portion is to small and it does not fill me up. To me this makes it a bad meal because it is 300 calories. I do not like that because I would …
