Teddy Grahams Chocolate
The chocolate Teddy Grahams are just as good today as I remember them to be years ago when I first started snacking on these little snack cookies. The chocolate Teddy Grahams offer a rich chocolate flavor that is present throughout the cookie. As soon as the small cookie hits …
Dreyer’s Sherbet Orange Cream
I love the Dreyer’s brand of ice cream. It tends to be rich and creamy the way I like it. Recently, I was in the mood for sherbet. I love orange sherbet, but only have it as a treat from time to time. I saw …
Lay’s Classic Potato Chips
Lay’s Classic Potato Chips are great and they are one of my most favorite types of potato chips. Lay’s Classic Potato Chips are available in both small bags and large bags. The price of these potato chips vary depending on the store but I usually pay 50 …
Ocean Spray Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
Back in December I was busy stocking up for the coming winter and one of the things I bought was cans of Ocean Spray Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce. As I don’t have a car, it can be tough getting out to the stores in the winter, as I never …
MacDonalds McChicken Sandwich
In my early twenties, as I started to go off the Big Macs I turned to the McChicken Sandwich at MacDonalds after hearing good things about it. A piece of breaded chicken in a bun with mayonnaise and lettuce was actually pretty good. My only usual criticism of …
Hershey’s Kisses
Hershey’s makes a type of candy called a Hershey’s Kiss. They come individually wrapped in colored aluminum foil with a paper tag saying they are Kiss’s. The chocolate is so rich and delicious as it melts in your mouth that you normally find it hard to stop …
Dr. Oetker Pizza Ristorante Quattro Formaggi pizza
I do love Dr. Oetker Pizza Ristorante Quattro Formaggi pizza. I have to say that Im something of a pizza fan, to say the least. Other than chocolate, it’s my healthy eating downfall. That being said, it’s sometimes just nice to eat something tasty and forget the waistline. …
Pepsi throwback
It was at the gas station one day and I really wanted soda. I was looking over the selections in the cooler and I saw that Pepsi Throwback. The Pepsi products were indeed on sale so I figured I would buy the two for $2.50 and I bought one …
Kellogg’s Corn Pops with Fiber Cereal
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 …
Numi Jasmine Green Tea- Organic Monkey King
I like my green tea, and specifically Jasmine green tea for its delicate floral aroma and flavor. I’ve been drinking the stuff for at least ten years now. I have also become hooked on the effects of the caffeine in green tea which is different from coffee. I don’t …

Ensure banana shake drink is fantastic. I used to drink their vanilla health drink, only to hear so many people how it tastes like chalk and how could I drink such a drink. However I recently was in a supermarket and came across their new banana …
Klondike Big Bar Ice Cream Sandwiches
I have to admit that Klondike Big Bar Ice Cream Sandwiches are yummy. I also have to say they’re darn expensive, which is why I don’t get them very often. Still, for a treat, they’re hard to beat.
The silver package with the white polar bear has been …
Figaro: Hickory Liquid smoke and barbecue marinade
So, I was introduced to this product by my older sister, who came over to dinner. She bought over this little bottle called Figaro: Hickory Liquid smoke and barbecue. I had never previously heard of such of thing as ’smoke’ in a bottle. I thought who ever made this …
President’s Choice Crunchy Mixed Berry Cereal
When I bought the President’s Choice Crunchy Mixed Berry Cereal, I thought of it as a “poor man’s Special K”. Personally, I am not big on brand names (whether it’s food or clothing), so I picked up the PC brand instead of Kellogg’s.
The cereal is a mix of dried …
Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffin Mix
My sister knows I love to bake, the very reason why she sent me a few packets of Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffin Mix. Of course, it was one of those mixes (again) for the lazy - the instant ones. The instructions show that I only need 1/3 cup of …
Furikake, Japanese Rice Toppings
When my brother in law and his kids went for a vacation back to the Philippines from Japan, I notice that the kids are not eating much of the food being served on the table. Mostly are Filipino food like sinigang, tinola and sautéed vegetables. Instead, I saw …
Hostess Suzy Q’s
I think that out of all the Hostess chocolate creations, the Hostess Suzy Q’s have the most white creme. These things are packed with white creme that just overflows all along the sides! Sometimes, it is just too irresistible and I find myself licking some of the white creme …
Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer
Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer is something I get from time to time, but those are rare times, mostly because it just cost so darn much. This is considered a big time treat for me, and as a result, I really only buy the product once or twice a …
Old London Melba Snacks Roasted Garlic
I highly doubt that I will ever purchase the Melba Snacks Roasted Garlic crackers again because I really did not care very much for the flavor, and at nearly five dollars a box, I refuse to spend additional money on a product that I feel is average, at best. …
Progresso New England Clam Chowder Soup
Once again, I’m digging back into the ol’lunch pail to see what’s soup’s on, and yet again it’s “chowdah” time. On the soup docket today is Progresso Traditional New England Clam Chowder, but how does it stand up with it’s competitors? You know I’m hungry enough to find out.
In …
Cedarlane Spinach and Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales
While the Cedarlane Spinach and Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales are not exactly what I would call a meal in itself, they sure are tasty! The spinach used in these tamales is quite delicious! It is fresh and crisp and strong in taste, too! Plus, they did not go easy …
Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes Taco Bell
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 …
Percol Instant Hot Chocolate
I have had a craze on instant hot chocolate lately and I have tried lots of different brands, but this is by far the nicest, by the brand name Percol. Actually it is really gorgeous. I bought a sachet of Percol from Tesco for about 30 pence …

Lean Cuisine Swedish Meatballs with Pasta Frozen Entree
I wasn’t raised eating Swedish meatballs, but once I tried Lean Cuisine’s recipe I thought they were wonderful! This is a great classic dish combining meatballs made with pork, beef, and oatmeal, mixed with egg noodles and gravy.

Leylam’s Shawarma with Rice Meal

FirstNice musli bar, cranberry and raspberry in yogurt
OK, I admit I am a big sucker when it is about raspberry, I just adore them and I automatically think that everything with raspberry will be good too. I don’t have to tell you that I am wrong very often because mostly products on the base of raspberry …
Banannas
I recently read that banannas are acutally more nutritious than apples. I found that ironic because the old saying, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”, has been around for so darn long! Supposedly, while apples do offer a wide variety of nutrients and vitamins that …
Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Whole Grain White Bread
Of all the white breads I’ve had in the past year or so, Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Whole Grain White Bread is probably my favorite. That said, I really haven’t had a white bread that I truly love in a while. Rainbo used to be my favorite, …

I always purchase Mixes made by Jiffy. I always have stocks of the little blue boxes in my pantry because it always comes in handy when I am too tired to cook from scratch. The Jiffy Mixes are manufactures by Chelsea Mills of Michigan and it has been a …
Fruit-Filled Pancakes by Purity
I am in the belief that frozen, micro-waved pancakes are an oddity. Often they end up cemented or soggy. While grocery shopping recently, these frozen treats caught my eye: Strawberry Fruit-filled Pancakes by Purity Baking Company.
The box is cheery. The setting on the picture depicts a home-like …
Little Debbie Easter Puffs
I am not all that crazy about Little Debbie Easter Puffs, although I would be if they would just remove one thing from the puffs. These puffs have chocolate on the inside and marshmallow on the outside and there is also a white icing coated beneath the marshmallow. There …
Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi
My new years resolution for 2008 was to give up drinking regular soda. Granted I thought this was going to be difficult given my extreme hatred for diet sodas. It seemed like every time I had tried diet soda in the past I found myself unable to drink it. …

Martha White Cotton County Buttermilk Cornbread Mix

Jelly Belly Halloween Gummy Teeth Candy is a treat that I mildly enjoyed, although it is quite unlikely that I will purchase it again come next Halloween season. I realize that these treats are supposed to be gummy, but I did not think that they would be gummy to …

A few weeks ago, I was craving for pasta and did not have any in the house. That is why the next time I went grocery shopping, I made sure to buy some instant pasta mix to stock my pantry with, in case I get another sudden craving. …
Gran Matador Brandy
I don’t know if this brandy is also available outside the Philippines, but here in our country, it’s very popular and known by all men, drinkers or not. It’s cheap price made it another reason for them or should I say “us” to buy the product. It just costs …
Koala no march cookies
These cookies from the company Lotte come in a really colourful box with lots of small and cute koala drawings, so I couldn’t help but feel attracted to that design and give them a try.
Not only the external box is cute, the bag inside to preserve the cookies is …
Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Macaroni
Honestly, you really don’t need the hamburger helper to make this kind of food. All you really need is to buy some macaroni from the store and the beef. The only thing missing is the seasoning, so that’s how they get you to buy the hamburger helpful. But this …
Stouffer’s Party Size Lasagna with Meat and Sauce
After trying Stouffer’s lasagna for the first time about a year ago, I was completely hooked. The taste is what I loved most. With a rich, creamy texture, it was hard not to come back for seconds. Ever since trying it once, we have bought it …
