Golden Flake vs Walkenbach
I have never been a pretzel person until recently, and don’t really know what brought me to pretzels. My husband has always loved them and wanted me to eat them too and I would take a couple and then be like “Well I really don’t like pretzels.”
Then, I …

Applebee’s French Dip Sliders

Twix Chocolate Bar

Chick-fil-A Chicken, Egg & Cheese Bagel
Chick-fil-A Chicken, Egg & Cheese Bagel is one of the few menu items from the Chick-fil-A fast food restaurant that I have actually been disappointed with and have no desire to purchase again. The reason I was disappointed with this sandwich is because I did not think that the …
McCain’s French fries

Hostess Mini Muffins Blueberry
While the Hostess Mini Muffins Blueberry variety are certainly more delicious and enjoyable than the chocolate variety, they are still not up to the standard set by Little Debbie and the muffins that they bake and sell. Hostess mini muffins all seem a little on the stale and dry …
Steel Reserve beer
Steel Reserve is what’s known as a high gravity lager. It’s slow-brewed for at least 28 days and has 8.1% alcohol. This is a sweeter, darker kind of beer and I like it’s smooth flavor. It doesn’t have the bitterness or bad aftertaste that I’ve noticed with some other …

Healthy Selection …
Fresh Express Premium Romaine
I tried this bagged salad once and I liked it, but I didn’t like it enough to spend over two dollars on it again. This salad is a very crunchy one due to the lettuce being romaine. I like crunchy salads, so that’s good. I also liked that there …
Odwalla Lemonade
This lemonade my odwalla is prehaps my favorite lemonade of all time. I think that it is actually made from real lemons, and then seetened with sugar. If you drink this lemonade beside anotehr pre-packaged lemonade you can tell taht there is an obvious difference. the odwalla tastes like …

Kroger Deluxe Churned No Sugar Added Cherry Cordial Ice Cream
I was interested in this ice cream because I had never tried it before, and it looked very colorful and delicious. I thought it was a good deal at $2.50 per half-gallon, too, so I picked it up and brought it home.
This ice cream is basically made up …
Fruit Pastilles
Fruit Pastilles, these were one of my favourite sweets when I was younger, they were so moorish that I could eat a pack in minutes, but I hadn’t had them in ages before a few days ago. To be fair as well, maybe it’s because they are not chocolate, …
L’oven Fresh Mini Muffins Chocolate
These mini muffins from L’oven are about as good as the company’s blueberry mini muffins: a little above average, but not by much. What really helps make these mini muffins relatively decent is the fact that they are quite soft, moist and overall taste pretty fresh. They hold well, …
Keebler Chocolate Graham Cracker Crust
I’ve started making pies with these store-bought crusts because I think they’re easier to work with than homemade crusts. One of my favorite types of pie crust is graham cracker pie crust, and these are even better when they’re made of chocolate graham crackers!
I think these crusts take the …

Lambertz Exquisit Biscuits, Orange Stick
I like every sweet thin that contains orange and chocolate because I like nice little sour but fresh taste of orange that mix nicely with sweet chocolate. But this stick I didn’t like very much. It has too sweet chocolate made with lots of butter. This butter makes chocolate …

Island Delight Caribbean Style Vegetable Pattie (Pastie)

Chick-fil-A Chicken Salad Sandwich

Bama Grape Jam
Bama Grape Jam is one of the cheapest grape jams I’ve come across. A thirty-two ounce jar of the grape jam costs me under one dollar and seventy cents. It’s a very low priced grape jam and it’s also a fairly tasty grape jam for that amount of money. …
Milka Collage Caramel, chocolate bar

Meadowfresh Houmous (aka Hummus) from Lidl
I tried a 300g tub of this Houmous from Lidl for only 99p. This Meadowfresh brand seems to be Lidl’s own brand judging from the label. This is a good price for such a large tub and I was looking forward to getting home and dunking some …
Little Debbie Honey Bun
I had never really been a Honey Bun fan until recently when I was given a honey bun at a friend’s house as a breakfast food item. I should say off the bat, these things aren’t good for you. I don’t remember the exact numbers but I remember thinking …
Haggen Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin
I love muffins and I’m pleased to see the trend toward overly large, too sweet muffins seems to be coming to a close. Muffins are supposed to be a bread, not a cupcake.
Haggen Foods here in Bellingham seems to be correcting its previous tendency of cakeness and I am …

I ended up in our local grocery store’s dollar aisle this morning and picked up a box of granola bars from the brand Pampa as a snack for work.

The granola bars were …

Spaghetti and meatballs are one of my favourite foods but I have always had trouble settling on a favourite store-bought spaghetti sauce and have never attempted to make my own after seeing how long it needs to simmer when making from scratch. It is unfortunate that I don’t get …
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese is one of those name brand store items that everyone has heard about, everyone knows about and just about everyone has tried it. I personally think that Kraft Macaroni & Cheese is disgusting, but that is just my opinion. I think that you could probably …
