Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Squares
We received a lovely Christmas present of Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Squares. Ghirardelli, based in California, makes some of the best chocolate in the world. The Dark Chocolate Squares are small and thin, rather like wafers than a bar of chocolate. Dark Chocolate Squares contain 60% cocoa and are a …
Chilean Food : calzones de rotos
I’ve been living in Chile for almost 7 Months, and I have tried almost the typical food of Chilean. One of the most famous is Calzones de Rotos, which means torn pants. It’s a funny name, yes. Why is it called that way? because of if shape like a …
7up Soft Drink
Although I generally don’t find myself choosing 7up as a first or even second option when I’m buying soda, there is still that rare moment over a period of time when I’ll crave one. The reason why I don’t necessarily crave 7up a lot is because first of all, …
Kroger - Blackberry Pie
The blackberry pie baked straight from Kroger’s bakery is a little different from some of the other pies that the store sells. What separates this pie from say the apple or peach or blue berry pie is that it has a thicker crust to it. Now, I do not …
Safeway White Cake White Iced Slice
I decided to pick up this cake slice because, let’s just face it every once in a while we’re in a cake sort of mood.
I like the idea of buying a small amount of cake. This slice as they call it is actually enough to slice up and feed …
Sharwood’s Tandoori Mukhani for Butter Chicken
I was discussing how much I love the Indian dish of Butter Chicken, and a friend, who loves to cook, told me about a sauce that is available which allows you to simply cook chicken in it and voila! You can cook a difficult and time-consuming recipe quickly, in …

Nature Valley Granola Bars
I have just purchased some granola bars from Nature Valley, and I can truly say that I am impressed.
The granola bars come in many different flavors including: peanut butter, apple crisp, and pecan crunch to name a few. These granola bars are the official energy bar of the PGA …
Smarties candy
One of my all-time favorite kinds of candy is Smarties. They are the small candies that come wrapped, 15 to a roll. They are a slightly sour candy and kind of have a fruit taste to them. I have seen them come in three size bags. …
Tropicana Twister Melon Jasmine Juice Drink
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 …
C2 Cool & Clean Green Tea Drinks
I live in a tropical country wherein it is very important to keep the body hydrated all the time. Aside from drinking pure water, I also drink healthy beverages at times and even carbonated drinks. However, carbonated drinks are not just healthy for the body. Recently, I have come …
Betty Crocker - Bisquick Pancake Mix
Betty Crocker - Bisquick Pancake Mix is not a product that I will purchase again. I do not care for pancake mixes that require water to be added as opposed to milk. Milk makes pancakes much better and the only reason I purchased this mix was because the grocery …
Little Debbie Cinnamon French Toast Sweet Rolls
Little Debbie Cinnamon French Toast Sweet Rolls are indeed sweet, but I just do not taste all that much cinnamon. I admittedly do taste a little, but apparently, the makers of these sweet rolls were very skimpy with the cinnamon. It is a real shame, too, because I think …
Season’s Choice Shoestring Fries
The Season’s Choice Shoestring Fries come in a twenty-eight ounce package for one dollar and sixty-nine cents at ALDI Food Market stores. These shoestring fries look and taste a lot like the fries served at fast foods such as McDonald’s and Whataburger. They’re very thin in terms of thickness, …
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Snow Puffs
Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Snow Puffs quite unfortunately suffer from the same problems that a majority of low fat or fat free products do: a considerable reduction in flavor and a significant increase in overall blandness. These soft snow puffs almost taste like nothing really as both the …
Doy’s Pepper Sauce
Recently I visited one of my dad’s friend with him and we were speaking with the guys sister. The topic of food and condiments came up and pepper sauce was mentioned. She makes her own pepper sauce at home and offered to give me a bottle if I wanted …
Fuji Tea House & Sushi Bar in Memorial City Mall
If you’ve ever been to Memorial City Mall you’ll notice the wide array of food to choose from in the food court. It’s actually one of the better food courts I’ve seen because of how many selections it offers. One of my favorite places to drop by while I’m …
Country Crock Honey Butter
It’s sort of ironic that I use Country Crock honey butter because my butter of choice is Land O’ Lakes. I don’t put the honey butter in any meal I’m preparing, just on toasts and biscuits.
The thing I like about the Country Crock honey butter is that it …
Sainsbury’s Dark Roast Freeze Dried Instant Coffee
This Dark Roast Freeze Dried Instant Coffee from Sainsbury’s own brand is indeed, as it says on the label, dark and intense, which incidentally is how I like my men. This is lovely coffee, especially for me as I like a good strong cup which is smooth as …
Borden’s Cremora Rich Coffee Creamer

Little Debbie Be My Valentine Cakes - Vanilla
I find these Little Debbie Be My Valentine Cakes - Vanilla variety to be a tasty treat to have during the month of February. Since it is a Valentine’s Day treat, it is shaped after a heart. I really like vanilla, more so than chocolate, so I like these …
Ghirardelli Chocolate Supreme Brownie Mix
This is a boxed brownie mix that comes with a chocolate syrup pouch. The chocolate syrup pouch allows me to add an additional chocolaty flavor the brownie mix that, in addition to the added flavor, also seems to make the brownies a little more chewy than the ones that …
GreenWise Organic Spring Mix
Boxed lettuce mix is a convenience item for me because I can get a blend of lettuces without the hassle of washing and chopping all that lettuce. I usually just buy my boxed salad at WholeFoods along with the majority of my produce, but they were out of the …
Pearson’s Mint Patties
Pearson’s Mint Patties have been around for a very long time, and my family has bought them for just as long. They come in a distinctive green and silver package, each thin mint wrapped individually. They’re low in fat and made of real peppermint oil, which is …
Twix Peanut Butter Bar
Although I’m not as crazy about peanut butter as I’m about caramel, I still like peanut butter and so, it was no surprise that this Twix bar appealed to me. I always felt that the Twix candy bar could use more caramel in between the cookie portion and the …
Golden Bantam Corn
Golden Bantam Corn is an heirloom variety of corn that you can save seed from year to year and get the same thing repeatedly. It cost $1.65 a pack for two ounces which contains approximately 230 seeds. When we were setting up our farm this year we decided we …
Thorntons Dark Chocolate Secret Centre Mousse
I do like sweet things and although I do have the odd Cake, it is more a Chocolate bar or something like that that I prefer. I do look at the Chiller bit in my local Shop and buy the odd Cake and treat like this.
I got a 2 …
Jose Ole Mini Tacos
I love tacos, but don’t like the mess involved with making them from scratch, and I just don’t get to Taco Bell as frequently as I’d like. I’ve tried various products in the past to try and satisfy my taco cravings, but Jose Ole Mini Tacos is the …

Pizza Hut Lasagna
Recently, I took advantage of a promotion to order some of the Tuscani pastas that Pizza Hut was advertising. I adore spaghetti and I like lasagna, so when the right deal it, I decided to experiment and see if these two items were really any good. …
Herr’s Potato Chips
The most avid of junk food junkies, I find it difficult to find a chip that is both strong in its texture and satisfying in its flavor. The leading brands don’t seem to do it justice on those days when you are craving something just a little more special.
I …
Little Debbie Cheddar on Cheese
I enjoy these Little Debbie Cheddar on Cheese crackers because I like both cheese and crackers. This snack successfully combines to of my favorite things and the result is something that is definitely delightful! Once I start eating one, I find myself eating more than just one. They can …
Now Foods Better Stevia Liquid Sweetener
For the past few decades major food companies have been coming up with the new calorie-free sugar substitutes. Thanks to them, now we are all familiar with such words as erythritol,maltodextrin, dextrose, saccharin, aspartame and Sucralose. However, certain studies have linked these long scary names to the development of cancerous …
The Ready Store Full Meal MREs
I have an assortment of these MRE meals in my emergency kit that I bought directly from The Ready Store.com for $7.49 a meal. And I have tried quite a few different MREs from different suppliers including in the military, and this MRE is hands down the best I have …
Boulder Canyon All Natural Malt Vinegar & Sea Salt
Boulder Canyon All Natural Malt Vinegar & Sea Salt are really not healthy - but then again, we are talking about potato chips here, and even the “healthiest” potato chip is by no means healthy or recommended for consumption more than once or twice a week. The reason is …
Nestle Rolo Ice-Cream
I keep finding new and wonderful flavours of ice-cream, and now that I may have found the best ever, I will likely gain much weight this summer. To make matters worse, the size of the container is about twice the size of Haagen-Dazs or Ben and Jerry’s ice-cream, for about …
Strawberry Peanut Butter M&Ms
One day I was shopping at Walmart and I was browsing the candy racks, something I shouldn’t have been doing in the first place but always seem to be doing, and a reddish bag that said M&Ms caught my eye. I picked it up and took a closer …

Yogurt Park
When I lived in the dorms at Unit 3 right across from Unit 3, I never understood what the big deal was about Yogurt Park. Yes I knew it was famous, and I knew that many of the people I knew really liked it, I never understood the craze …
Marco’s Pizza - Pepperoni Pizza
Along with sausage, pepperoni is a favorite pizza topping of mine. It is not always easy to go about finding a pizza that boasts flavorful and plentiful pepperoni, but now that a Marco’s Pizza opened up about ten minutes from my house around three months ago, I now no …
Trident Bubble Gum Flavored Gum
I have tried various types and flavors of chewing gum. One of such gum is Trident Bubble Gum Flavored Gum. While at first site the package would imply that the gum is for blowing bubbles, however, it is really just the flavor of classic bubble gum. In …
Butterfinger Candy Bar by Nestle
I am a chocolate addict but there is one chocolate that I simply could not enjoy. This is Nestle’s Butterfinger Candy Bar. It is does not have the creaminess and lusciousness of my favorite chocolate bars. I hate the flaky orange colored center which is so messy on my …
Kroger Low Fat Granola with Raisins
Kroger Low Fat Granola with Raisins is very similar to Kellogg’s Low Fat Granola with Raisins. In fact, the two cereals are identical aside from one being a store brand that sells at a lower price and one being a name brand that sells for a more expensive price. …
Ironbeer
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, …
Del Monte Red Grapefruit
As the name indicates, this is canned red grapefruit and nothing else. I bought it after trying (and liking) Del Monte’s Citrus Salad, where red grapefruit was one of three citrus ingredients. I enjoyed it there, so I bought this variety. Since I already knew what to expect, there …
Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk
I make desserts a lot and one of these homemade desserts I make is ice cream. Besides ice cream though, when making certain main or side dishes I like to use Evaporated Milk. Well, the other day I bought a package of Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk to use one …
Brink Rice cakes with sea salt
I’ve discovered Brink Rice cakes with sea salt about 3 months ago when I decided to go on the blood type diet. It says in this diet that wheat is not good for our metabolism and one of the alternatives they offer is rice bread. I must admit that …
Dolmio Extra Spicy Bolognese Sauce
The Dolmio Extra Spicy Bolognese sauce is my sauce of choice, with more flavor than the standard Dolmio Bolognese sauce due to the additional ingredients which include green peppercorns and chilli peppers. I always prefer a slightly spicier taste but this is by no means a hot sauce …
Sainsbury’s Basics Chocolate Dessert Mix
This chocolate dessert from Sainsbury’s ‘Basics’ range is supposed to be like a cheap version of Angel Delight and it is only 9 pence per sachet. I frequently buy a cheap version of Angel Delight from Tesco’s ‘Value’ range but as they do not do a chocolate flavour …
