Kellogg’s Live Bright Dark Chocolate Vanilla Bars
These bars are not nearly as nutritious as the box or the advertising claims them to be. There is a significant amount of high fructose corn syrup, sugar and the dangerous trans fat. In terms of calories, there are 150 per bar, which is not incredibly bad, but considering …
Haagen-Dazs Caramel Cone Ice Cream
I was on a Haagen-Dazs kick when I purchased this rich and decadent ice cream. Caramel is a great ice cream flavor, but I find that sometimes it’s used too liberally and I can’t always handle its richness. So while I was eager to try this flavor, I was …
Velveeta Cheesy Skillets Dinner Kit: Creamy Beef Stroganoff
I came into the know of Velveeta Cheesy Skillet Dinner kits when watching TV one evening and seeing the commercial with the black smith showing up to a woman’s door, and then showing her how to cook —˜liquid gold.’ The commercial appealed to me because for one it’s hilarious …
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 …
Stern’s Miracle-Gro Houseplant Food
Stern’s Miracle-Gro Houseplant food with chelated iron is bringing my plants to life.

Thomas Original English Muffins
Thomas’ Original English Muffins are without a doubt the top of the line in store purchased English muffins. The muffins come in a tray of six, and the package of course touts the fact that the muffins are low fat, no cholesterol, and have no trans fat. The …
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 …
Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Marshmallow Puffs
Here is yet another rather uninspired and copied snack treat from the Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Marshmallow Puffs Independence Day line. Little Debbie sure likes to take treats that they already have and sell, re-package and re-decorate them while modifying some very small element and then selling them …
Mueller’s Elbow Macaroni
The Mueller’s brand has always been a must-have when it came to various pastas. I especially love their elbow macaroni because I’m always making macaroni and cheese for big Sunday dinners.
The Mueller’s elbow macaroni comes in two sizes: The regular box and the family size box. I usually buy …
Teh Tarik
Teh Tarik is a local specialty in my area and some other few parts in Asia. It is actually like a form of tea also, and the taste is very tea; but more stronger with a more mixture of milk and the type of tea brand must be really …
Chili’s Mango Tea
This is by far the best tasting tea I have ever come across. It is a cross between something light and tropical and a Southern, sugary delight. I find myself going to Chili’s just so I can order their Mango Tea! I have not been able to find it …
Milk Duds
Growing up, there were two boxed candies that I adored — Junior Mints and Milk Duds. They were both purchased frequently. Then Milk Duds seemed to disappear. They weren’t around as much. In the last decade, though, they’ve reemerged.
Milk Duds make a great treat because …
Swanson Beef Dinner
I picked up this Swanson Beef Dinner as a two for one deal on Swanson products. This 325gram boxed frozen dinner looked absolutely delicious; rich pieces of roast beef in gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans and a bonus apple-cranberry desert. As always Swanson gives you the option of either …
Fruit explosion muffins
On my way to the University today, i went by tim hortons and didn’t want my usual hot chocolate and donut, so i decide to a try a muffin, the fruit explosion in particular. Tim hortons muffins are always really good and this one is no exception, it …
Sainsbury’s Basics Creamed Tomato Soup
When I am low on cash before pay day, I do like trying out the really cheap own brand produce of supermarkets, such as Sainsbury’s. The prices can be ridiculous, like this Creamed Tomato Soup from the Sainsbury’s Basics range, which is only 17 pence. But I …
Blue Bell Milk Chocolate Ice Cream
Blue bell is the brand of ice cream that pretty much everyone knows and loves. Sure some people are pretty opinionated and have other brands that they favor, but I know for a fact that Blue bell is a favorite in my household. It’s the sweet surrender that …
Pure Naked 100% Coconut Water
I am a big fan of the healthy delicious brand Naked. Being that I am a fan, I wasn’t not hesitant to give their pure hundred percent coconut water a try. I am a huge coconut fan, from beauty products to the actual food. At the time I had …

Stacy’s Simply Naked Pita Chips
My wife got a free sample of Stacy’s Simply Naked Pita Chips the other day in the mail. I’m not sure who sent it to her exactly (both my dad and my mother-in-law spend hours looking for free samples on line each week) but, it wasn’t a product I’ve …
Rojak
I love bringing my foreign friends to try out eating a local food dish known as Rojak. Rojak is a mix and match kind of food actually. There are lots of side dishes mixed together and actually the dishes or should I say different types of food like …

A&W Root Beer - In Store vs Restaurant
I really don’t understand why there is a difference, but over the years, from my own experience and based on conversations with others, there is no doubt that there is a definite difference between the A&W root beer acquired at an A&W restaurant versus the cans and liters purchased …
Famous Amos and Beard Papa
I don’t think I can ever make a choice between Famous Amos and Beard Papa. Both are very sweet and most definitely amazing when it comes to satisfying my sweet tooth. Both of these snack outlets are really amazingly unique and I wonder where their originators come from. …
Clancy’s Cheese Extreme Cheese Snack Mix
Clancy’s Cheese Extreme Cheese Snack Mix reminds me a lot of Clancy’s Cheddar Party Mix. Both are sold at ALDI Food Market stores and both have a strong cheddar aroma and flavor. This snack mix comes in an eight ounce bag and sells for one dollar and nineteen cents. …
Xtreme Redi Set Go by As Seen On TV
The Xtreme Redi Set Go is the one of a kind multi-purpose food cooker. It can make muffins, brownies, pizza and pie in just about 10 minutes. I have to admit that I’m an As Seen On TV fan. Most of the things I get, I’ve seen them on …
Little Debbie Devil Squares Cakes
I do not like the Little Debbie Devil Squares Cakes as much as I do the Devil Creme Cakes because these square cakes have a slightly hard chocolate exterior where as the creme cakes have a soft exterior. The slightly hard exterior on the square cakes is really hardly …
Cadbury Cream Eggs
When Easter-time comes around, I am always happy to see the arrival of Cadbury cream eggs to the stores. These eggs are about 2 inches tall. There is a chocolate shell that surrounds a sweet, sugary center that is supposed to resemble egg yolk. They can …
Sobe Lifewater Pacific Coconut Beverage
Sobe Lifewater Pacific Coconut Beverage is a beverage I picked up one afternoon to top off my quick lunch. Given that I am a very big fan of Sobe beverage, and coconut water I did not hesitate to grab a bottle.
Coconut Water has become one of the trends in …
Betty Crocker Sour Cream and Chives Potatoes
I love potatoes, but I do not love to cook and slave over a hot stove. Lately, however, I have been trying to make a real effort to eat out less and to cook more, but I find myself getting bored with the meals I have been preparing at …
Coca Cola Classic
I have been drinking coke for all my life. I know that many of you have seen the commercials on TV take the taste test between Pepsi and Coke. I personnally like the Coca Cola Classic formula better than the hybirds that they sell. A few years ago …
Hostess Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
Hostess is one of the most familiar brand names in America. I imagine you would have a hard time finding someone that didn’t know what a Twinkie was. Considering the popularity of the brand, I’m really surprised that Hostess hadn’t taken advantage of the pumpkin craze that never fails …
Pickled Onion flavour Mega Monster Munch
The Pickled Onion flavour of Mega Monster Munch is a great favourite of mine. I was really pleased when I found out a few months ago that Walkers (who now own the rights to this former Smiths snack) had decided to go back to the larger individual crisps of …
Stouffer’s Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Three Cheese Chicken
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Three Cheese Chicken is a meal that I really thought I was going to enjoy, but I actually ended up being surprised in a not so pleasant way. The chicken came across as being tender, but it did not offer up too much flavor. It …
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 …
Nalley’s Garlic, Dill & Onions Petites
Nalley’s “Garlic, Dill & Onions Petites” are a very good small pickle with lots of flavor that are available for a pretty good price. I think they are very similar to their, more expensive French cousins, the cornichon, but are more readily available and usually about half the price.
I think …
Twizzlers
I am going to be very blunt when I describe Twizzlers because they are what they are, and there is no hiding that from the consumer. They are licorice with no taste; if there was a category of candy called boring candy, Twizzlers would feel right at home with …
Valutime Imitation Shredded Cheese
I was in the need for shredded cheese last night because we were having chili and my wife likes having that in the chili (I could always take it or leave it). Unfortunately for me, I only had a little bit of money with me at the time and …

Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Bacon Cheeseburger
Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Bacon Cheeseburger is a homemade skillet meal kit that includes pasta, sauce mix, and toping mix; additional 1 lb of hamburger meat is required. The cooking process is rather long, it is definitely not one of those “heat & eat” packages. First, you fry hamburger …
Kraft Manhattan Gummi Land
I purchased these sweets for my kids who deserve the occasional treat once they finished their homework. My oldest daughter is particularly hooked on sweets. As I saw it was from Kraft I thought they must taste good. I also looked at the see through cellophane and thought it …
Datex 3600 Calorie Emergency Food Bars
Updating an emergency kit is a bit fun, since I get to finally try out my near outdated emergency food stores. I opened up a package of Datex last night, and I seriously had pictures of the old 1940’s naval food rations, dry and tasteless. But I was so …
Cedarlane Mushroom and Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales
I knew that I should not bother purchasing the Cedarlane Mushroom and Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales. I had a feeling I was not going to like what these tamales had to offer. Yet, I did, and it goes to show that I should have stuck with my gut. The …
Second Cup’s: Toasted Marshmallow Latte
I work next to a second cup so every now and again I like to enjoy a gourmet beverage. I noticed new signs up at Second Cup showing the new holiday beverages including: Eggnog latte, S’mores hot chocolate, and the Toasted Marshmallow Latte. They had gotten rid …
Tabasco Brand Hot Sauce
If there is something else that I cannot live without, it is hot sauce. I live for it. I love hot sauce. And I normally mix my ketchup with hot sauce. That is why I am reviewing my favourite hot sauce which is Tabasco Brand.
Tabasco sauce is apparently …

El Monterey Burritos Beef and Bean Family Pack

Marie Callender’s Country Fried Pork Chop
Like I mentioned before, my wife and I ended up picking up some frozen TV dinners at Walmart this past weekend. She chose the Marie Callender’s Country Fried Pork Chop.
It turned out to be an OK dinner for her but wasn’t overly impressive either.
Considering the money, there was plenty …
Chunkee Chewy Soft Cookies
I am reviewing another food. And this time its a soft chewy cookies. Chunkee cookies are proudly made in the Philippines(that’s what it says in the pack). These cookies are soft so it is mistaken that it is not fresh anymore.
