Kellogg’s Raisin Bran Crunch Cereal
Okay, I am normally one of those that if I’m going to eat cereal I want it to be sugar. I’m talking crispy pancakes coated with syrup and milk. I don’t normally grab the healthy stuff from the shelves, I choose mainly on taste and price. …
Maggi Instant Noodles
Preserved foods are present at home whenever we are lazy to buy fresh foods from wet market. It usually happens during Typhoon or rainy days. It is tiring to go out in the street during those times so we depend on canned goods and preserved foods at home. One …
Dari Creme Buttermilk Butter
I love eating only wheat bread for breakfast. My diet is always wheat bread and it is quite awful to have plain wheat bread without any spread on it. I really want to maintain my diet and be able to enjoy it at the same time. The reason why a …
Stouffer’s Pepperoni & Provolone Stromboli
Stouffer’s Pepperoni & Provolone Stromboli was a little bit of a disappointment for me. The reason I consider it to be a disappointment is because of the pepperoni. Although the pepperoni definitely has some flavor to it and while it is a flavor that I do recognize, unfortunately, it …
Ma Mon Luk’s Signature Asado Siopao
It was the Chinese New year, but my husband and I still needed to go out for business reasons. When we were cruising along Quezon Avenue, we passed by a restaurant with loud noises coming from the inside. Apparently there was a dragon dance and the place was very …
Hershey’s 100 Calorie Crisp Wafer Bar

Stouffer’s Baked Chicken Breast

I have recently tried Carmel Apple coffee from Cafe Brunches of Mansfield Ohio. I had a cup of the Carmel Apple blend and enjoyed its delicious and fragrant beans so much that I ordered a half a pound of whole coffee beans to go, for about four fifty …
McDonald’s Frappe Drinks
So, I was at my mother’s house the other day and she and my sister were discussing the New McDonald’s Frappe drinks. Apparently they received free coupons in the mail to try them with. Immediately I thought how unfair, I didn’t receive any free coupons. Low …
Great Value Whole Kernel Corn
One of the side dishes I decided to make with dinner last night was sweet corn from the brand Great Value.

Tesco Value Low Fat Strawberry Yoghurt
I tried the ‘Low Fat Strawberry Yoghurt’ from Tesco’s Value range for the first time. I am open-minded about their ‘Value’ range as some products are not so bad. I would not expect this to be on a par to more expensive yoghurts as it is a …
Healthy Lifestyles Lagundi Eucalyptus Tea
Just a week ago, I experienced symptoms of dry cough. Every time I would experience feelings like this, I always pre-empt it with anything that can thwart it or prevent it. Aside from drinking medicine, I doubled my prevention with drinking Lagundi tea. I hardly knew any brand that manufactures …

Rebisco cream filled sandwiches (biscuits) are good for those when they are feeling hungry, of just needs to be ready in case you won’t have the benefit of buying someplace near. These biscuits have been made by the Rebisco Company for 45 years now! What it tasted before is …

We had celebrated the beginning of the new 2007 year with a bottle of Andre Pink Champagne. This was the first time I tried it. I happen to prefer sweet champagne, which is next to impossible to find here in the US for some reason. Every other bottle I …
Hershey’s - Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Hershey’s - Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels are mildly tasty, although really, they are no better than the Flipz Milk Chocolated Covered Pretzels or the Nabisco brand, but they also are no worse. Just like the other brands, these pretzels are covered in a mildly present milk chocolate layer that …
Munchies
Sometimes I get bored with the regular chips and pretzels that lack variety and want a snack that is on fire to make my taste buds water. By eating a variety of snacks mixed together I can get satisfied pretty quickly and will not have to eat …
Big Breakfast at McDonald’s
I just took the last bite of my Mc Donald’s Big Breakfast Meal. I am really into this breakfast meal at the McDonald’s because I enjoy eating the muffin with Strawberry Jam. I don’t usually enjoy eating jams of any type, like orange, ube, or strawberry but when I …
Putong Ube’s Assorted Flavored Puto (rice cakes)
I am not usually a big fan of puto (Filipino rice cake). However I have tried a lot of puto snacks from different bakeshops. Yes, I would eat them but it has certainly not become my favorite. One day when my husband craved for some rice cake, he insisted …

Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Mint Chocolate Chip
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Mint Chocolate Chip is not a flavor that I go wild over, although I do enjoy having it every now and then. The ice cream itself is mint flavored, and the mint flavor is really quite refreshing and strong. This is a flavor that …
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. …
Wholly Guacamole
I found this Wholly Guacamole one day in one Health Store as I was scouting for a healthier alternative to Mayo. Of course it would be boring to eat chips, salad, tacos, or burritos without toppings or dip but I am worried with too much fats and cholesterol …

MITR PHOL Natural Granulated Sugar 2 kg
MITR PHOL natural granulated sugar is my first choice when it comes to white sugar. It comes in a transparent, yet durable packaging. To me, it’s very important that the packaging for sugar is good.
After all, I’d tried buying other sugar brands in the supermarket, and I’d …
Pepsi Throwback
Ah the glories of the soft drink known as Pepsi. Back in the early 90’s,there was Crystal Pepsi which was as clear as water, no artificial coloring was added to it. Then along came Cherry Pepsi. Then in the early 2000’s, Pepsi with lime hit the scene. The newest …
Fit & Active S’mores Drizzled Mini Crisps
The Fit & Active S’mores Drizzled Mini Crisps come in a four point five ounce package for one dollar and ninety-nine cents. These crisps looked mighty scrumptious on the packaging and so I decided to buy a box despite the small size and somewhat high price. It turned out …
Crystal Farms Grated Parmesan Cheese
When we decided to make spaghetti last night, I could have sworn we had all the ingredients already. However, we discovered, while making dinner, that we were all out of grated parmesan cheese. So, even though I did not plan on running to the store and spending money on …
Boar’s Head Reduced Sodium Turkey Breast

Bru coffee
The brand of coffee we use in our home is the Bru, which has excellent flavour and the taste. This is not an international or very famous brand of coffee, but it gives the real taste of coffee. I am not a coffee lover since the …
Francisco Extra Sourdough Bread
I’ve eaten several different varieties of bread from Francisco International, but I believe my favorite is Francisco Extra Sourdough Bread. It’s a product I’ve enjoyed off and on for years and have been purchasing a bit more in recent months.

Bacardi’s Rum Island Iced Tea
While out, someone suggested that I try a new pre-mixed bottled alcoholic drink made by Bacardi. I was a little apprehensive at first because some of these drinks don’t really taste very potent. Or they are so full of sugars that you can’t really taste …
Stouffer’s Easy Express Cheese Manicotti
Stouffer’s Easy Express Cheese Manicotti makes for a fairly tasty meal! Admittedly, this meal is more about flavor than it is about being filling, but in the case of this food, I am okay with that because the flavor comes from cheese! Lots and lots of cheese! Cheese is …

Rienzi Whole Wheat Pasta
I am a huge fan of whole wheat pasta. To some, it is an acquired taste where for me, it grew on me prety quickly. I have tried all different brands and though I love them all, they by no means taste the same. People think …
Eating Right Banana Nut Cereal
I only purchased this cereal once from Tom Thumb and that’s because it proved to be a disappointment. The box was only about fifteen ounces and the price was over three dollars and fifty cents, but I recall purchasing it because it sounded pretty good. This cereal was supposed …
Chunky Classic Chicken Noodle Soup
It took about a week but I ended up catching the cold my wife and daughter had last week over the New Years holiday.

Pop Weaver Light Butter Microwave Popcorn
