Focaccio with sun dried tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella
Recently I was on the road in Southern Oregon and needed to pick up a quick meal. I stopped at the local Safeway and nothing looked good. Finally, I looked at the pre-made sandwiches near the deli counter.
I expected to find the usually homogenized egg salad on white bread …
Green Giant Teriyaki Stir-Fry
I have recently discovered a delicious, healthy, and very quickly and easily cooked meal. It is called Green Giant Teriyaki Stir-Fry. For $3.12, you get a bag of frozen vegetable mix (broccoli, sweet snap peas, red peppers and water chestnuts) with a packet of teriyaki sauce inside. You will …
Mama Sita’s Lumpiang Shanghai Mix
I love this pre-made mixture of spices for lumpia (Filipino spring rolls). It makes making lumpia recipe a breeze. Usually, I make lumpia from scratch and season the meat and veggies from scratch as well. But using this seasoning mix saves the time. I just get a pound of …
Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
I use condensed milk to sweeten up my porridge on mornings and was very accustomed to using a different brand of condensed milk so this may be why I found “faults” in Eagle Brand’s Sweetened Condensed Milk.

Cloverhill Bakery - Apple Danish
I do wish that the Cloverhill Bakery Apple Danish had a richer cinnamon flavor to offer to complement the apple flavoring, but unfortunately, this danish falls somewhat sort when it comes to the cinnamon. At times, I had a difficult time tasting the cinnamon and that left this pastry …
Cadbury Old Gold Dark Chocolate
Cadbury Old Gold Dark Chocolate according to one promotion that I read in the internet is smooth, rich, dark chocolate that’s worth its weight in gold. Just the mere reading of that line made my mouth watery. So the next time I shop I made it a point …

Mrs. Freshley’s Pecan Twirls
I did not find anything all that spectacular about Mrs. Freshley’s Pecan Twirls. I simply found them to be satisfactory and pretty much identical to the other pecan swirl treats sold by other companies. That is both a good and bad thing. It is a good thing because I …

Sainsbury’s Basics Creamed Tomato Soup

Lean Pocket: Chicken, Broccoli, & Reduced Fat Cheddar
