Campbell’s Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup
Campbell’s Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup is okay as a quick solution when you don’t have time to cook - just empty the can, add 1 can of water, and heat. However, I still prefer my own homemade chicken soup and rarely use this product. Campbell’s soup is a little …
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Coconut
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Coconut is a pretty flavorful variety that I like to have from time to time. I am not too, too crazy about coconut, but I do like to have it every now and then. When I get a taste for coconut, I generally purchase this …
Betty Crocker - Herb Chicken Vegetable Rice
Betty Crocker - Herb Chicken Vegetable Rice is a side dish that sounded quite tasty, but once I started eating away at it, I quickly found the side dish to offer an abundance of blandness. I do not know why they call this herb chicken when I cannot taste …
Dr. McDougall’s Right Foods Vegan Black Bean & Lime Soup
I do not normally go for instant foods because it is not healthy. It is good to have them though because when you are caught in the middle of a very hectic schedule, you can have this as your quick remedy for hunger. But this is not a great alternative …
Aro sugar
The Aro sugar is the sugar, which was kept for sale in the super market. Actually many times whenever I had been to the super market for purchasing, I used to see the Aro branded sugar but this was for the first time I bought it to try …
Sainsbury’s Pitted Green Manzanilla Olives
Although I like junk food just like the next person, I can sit and eat olives when watching the television and enjoy them as though they are chocolates. Unlike chocolates though, I am getting some Vitamin C and those olives are counting as one of my five-a-day. …
Arce Dairy Blueberry Cheesecake
I was looking for a new flavor for an ice cream, or let’s just say I am looking for a flavor that is not so common to our taste buds. I went to the mall and look for something unusual flavor for an ice cream, then I found Arce …
Paulo’s Raspberry Cheesecake Gelato
Gelato is an Italian version of ice cream that is widely know to be more rich and more creamy than regular ice cream. Well the first gelato I ever tasted came from Paulo’s Gelato. The flavour I opted to try was their Raspberry Cheesecake Gelato.
When I first ordered my …
Campbell’s Condensed Broccoli and Cheese Soup
Campbell’s Condensed Broccoli and Cheese Soup is the only one of the Campbell’s soups (that I can think of, at least) that you are supposed to cook with milk, not milk or water. There is a note on the back of the can, specifically stating so. I normally do …
Nestle’s Stixx
I looked in my mailbox one day last week and was delighted to find a small package. Like the song from “Sound of Music” says, “brown paper packages tied up with string” are among my favorite things.
The package contained Nestle’s Stixx, which was a new product launched in …
Mission Deli Hand-Shaped Plain Naan Bread
I thought I would review this naan bread because it is particularly fluffy and fresh and also because it was very cheap to buy. At Morrisons, they are currently selling this naan bread on special offer of two packets for the price of one, one packet costing about …
Crispy M&M’s
I am a chocolate lover and I don’t like anything better than chocolates with crisps in them. I am always on the lookout for these wonderful little treats called Crispy M&M’s but lately I have not been seeing them at all on the shelves.
These sweet little confections come in …

I ended up coming across a box of Noodles by Leonardo spaghetti pasta and, since I also happened to have spaghetti sauce, I decided to …
Jiffy Pop Popcorn
The other day, I was watching an episode of Family Guy and saw the character Cleveland making Jiffy Pop popcorn. I said to my wife “that’s something we haven’t had in a while, let’s go buy some.”
After having it for the first time in years, I can honestly say …
Bel Air Mega Sub
Bel Air’s deli has a bunch of different sandwiches to choose from, but their granddaddy has to be their Mega Sub. This thing is positively huge, and it is definitely far more than one person can eat, or at least, that’s my take on it. For it …
Lipton Yellow label tea
I have a habit of tasting various brands of tea powders available in the market. This time I have brought home the Lipton company’s yellow label tea. This tea powder is good and tasty. Its aroma , color and taste are good. The price is also reasonable. This tea …
Lindt Chocoletti Noix de coco summer edition
Lindt Chocoletti Noix de coco are actually small milk chocolates with coconut filling. Lindt is a Swiss chocolate producer and in my opinion, but not only mine, it is one of the best chocolate company. They make excellent chocolate which is also rather expensive, because it is of a …
Land O Lakes “Seasoning”
Last week while shopping in the spice section of the grocery store, I noticed a new product from Land O Lakes. It is a seasoning powder that comes in several flavors- parmesan herb, butter, sour cream and onion, sharp cheddar, white cheddar, and ranch. I purchased the parmesan and …
5 Hour Energy
Energy drinks have been around for a long time know. In my opinion, I think they were pretty much all the same. There was a sugar crash that came with them. I have heard several people talk about this very issue. Though, they liked the drinks, they knew what …
McIlhenny Company Tabasco Hot Sauce
I would like to play captain obvious for a moment and say that this particular sauce can only really be enjoyed by fans of spice. So I will, and just have. With that out of the way, let’s find out why this sauce can actually improve your quality of …
Wegman’s Pitted Ripe Olives (Colossal)
It goes without saying that one great thing about these black olives is that they don’t contain pits, although there is a warning that you may come across an occasional pit or part of a pit. I think I have come across part of a pit, but it has …
Truvia Natural Sweetener
I really do not know what to think about this natural sugar alternative. The makers claim that Stevia is used in its manufacture, but to be honest, I don’t think it is used, or if it is, it is used in extremely minute quantities. Stevia has a distinctive bitter …
Kentucky Fried Chicken 2-Piece Drumstick & Thigh with Drink Special
Kentucky Fried Chicken, like most fast food establishments these days, are always offering new combinations and specials to try and lure consumers to their place. One of the current lures is the KFC 2-Piece Drumstick & Thigh Special.
Here is what you get for a Kentucky Fried Chicken 2-Piece …
Stouffer’s Pork Cutlet
Stouffer’s Pork Cutlet would be pretty bland if not for the toppings that are found on the pork cutlet. The pork cutlet itself is really pretty tasteless and dull, although it is fairly tender, so at least that is a plus. The toppings that I am referring to is …
Quaker Rice Cakes
I decided recently that I wanted to lose a little weight; ok I needed to lose a lot of weight. The problem with this is I hate to be hungry. Not that I had any plans on starving myself. I did know that I would have to cut down …
Hunt’s Snack Pack: Banana Pudding
I’m not really a pudding person unless it’s a flavor I absolutely can’t resist: I can’t resist banana pudding.
I didn’t really find the Hunt’s Snack banana pudding until I was looking for some Jell-o which Wal-Mart stocks right next to each other. I didn’t even notice it was banana …
Haagen-Dazs Banana Split Ice Cream
I really like banana splits. They’re one of my favorite “retro” kinds of ice cream desserts. I like the I was interested in finding out how Haagen-Dazs would combine all the typical flavors of a banana split in a single ice cream. So when I saw this in the …
Pop Weaver Light Butter Popcorn
I realize that butter is not good for the body, but I just can’t get used to popcorn that’s only lightly buttered. I’ve tried more than once, and I always end up forcing myself to finish the bags that come in the box. There’s very little flavor to popcorn …
Kroger Bakery - Apple
The apple pies baked at the Kroger bakery are quite enjoyable for a number of reasons. One of the primary reasons that I enjoy this store-baked apple pie is because it is quite moist. It is even more moist when I heat up a slice in the microwave for …
Maltova
Maltova is the name of the health drink. Actually it is a very good health drink, which is good for the growing kids. The Maltova is made using some very nutritious grains such as the Ragi, wheat, rice, jawar, etc. the perfect blend of all or …

Dari Creme Lite
I always like to use Dari Creme for my bread. It also tastes good for crackers. My mom bought Dari Creme Lite one time. It has less cholesterol, less fat, and less salt than the original Dari Creme. When I tried tasting it, it is less tasty. It really …
Strawberry Pocky
Sometimes I want to eat a snack that’s sweet but not overpoweringly sweet. There’s something about Strawberry Pocky that is extremely scrumptious to me! I love the slender shape, and the way the strawberry combined with cookie brakes down in my mouth. It’s a cute little snack that I …
Red Baron Singles French Bread PIzzas - Pepperoni
For some reason, I don’t have the knack for cooking French Bread pizzas, though I love them. My father used to make them for me all the time, but somehow or another, I usually strike it. I decided to give it another try though with Red Baron …
PayDay Candy Bar
PayDay Candy Bars make me think back and remember my childhood. It’s a weird kind of symbol of happy family times. No, my family didn’t sit around eating PayDay Candy Bars, but they were one of my mom’s favorites, and I loved them, too.
PayDay Candy Bars are …
Fruit Salsa
I stumbled upon a fruit salsa recipe a couple of months ago and made it at my daughter’s first birthday party. I was impressed with the amount of compliments I received, it really went over as a hit. I made a couple of …
Red Ribbon Bakeshop Sylvannas
Just this morning, my boyfriend went to our house and accompanied me to work. Well, it was a bit early still so I told him we could grab something sweet to eat first. We went to the building’s food park (about 9 am) and the the place is still …
Lean Cuisine Oriental Beef Stirfry
On my quest for low fat healthy dinners, I recently bought Lean Cuisine’s Oriental Beef Stirfry dinner for $2.99CDN.
I had only ever had Lean cuisine chicken dinners before, so I was curious as to how good the beef one would be.
The meal looked great on the cardboard box. Lot’s …
Stouffer’s Chicken Carbonara
Stouffer’s Chicken Carbonara is quite a delicious meal that is even a little filling, and that is pretty surprising since Stouffer’s meals generally do not fill me up too well and I have to prepare additional food as a result to go with the meal and make it more …
Sainsbury’s Eric & Friends Fruit Gums
Sainsbury’s Eric & Friends Fruit Gums are basically kids’ sweets, but that doesn’t stop me from eating them sometimes! That goes double as they are really very inexpensive - a 75 gram pack costs just 39 pence, and the supermarket usually offers a “buy three for a pound” deal …
Nestle Multi Grain Cheerios, Breakfast Cereal made with whole grain
This time when I was at the grocery store looking for breakfast cereal, the New Nestle Multi Grain Cheerios pack caught my attention. While most breakfast cereals are made with single grains like either wheat, rice or corn the Nestle Cheerios is made with a variety …
All Natural Butter Buds Sprinkles
I just recently started using All Natural Butter Buds Sprinkles instead of butter. I was looking at the grocery store for something healthier with a butter flavor. I bought some and tried it. It was really good. It tasted just like butter. I sprinkled …

Above you are two 2lb frozen stir fry dinners that I am going to review. They are $5.89 each and come with a small package of meat, a frozen sauce to thaw under hot water and a bag of noodles with frozen vegetables.
According to the directs Gourmet Dining Stir …
Applebee’s Honey BBQ Chicken Sandwich
I tried almost every chicken sandwich that has been offered at sit-in and fast food restaurants. When someone gave me a gift card for Applebee’s for my birthday, I tried their Honey BBQ Chicken Sandwich. It sounded hearty and promising —“ grilled chicken breast with BBQ sauce …
Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Pancake Mix
I have tried lot of Bob’s Red Mill products and almost all were good to taste, easy to make and nutritious and healthy as promised. But when I purchased ‘Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Pancake Mix’ I got disappointed. They are of course very easy to make but the taste …
Brunswick Sardines in Louisiana Hot Sauce
Up until recently I had no idea that there was another flavour of Brunswick sardines, specifically the Brunswick Sardines in Louisiana Hot Sauce. I only found out about it when I was searching in the pantry for something to eat fop breakfast and I found it. I was very …
Albertsons Complete Pancake Mix
Albertsons Complete Pancake Mix is kind of thin mix which requires larger quantity of powder for making pan cakes. This is the pancake mix that comes from Albertsons itself and comes in a bulkier pack than other brands. The price is no high. Albertsons Complete Pancake mix was got …
