Aunt Jemima Frozen Buttermilk Pancakes
Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Pancakes are alright as far as frozen pancakes go. When I am heating a couple up in the microwave, they do give off a pleasant smell, and when I sit down to eat them, they do taste okay. The quality certainly is not very high as …
Simply Nature Uncured Pepperoni Thin & Crispy Crust Pizza
Pizza is easily one of my all time favorite foods. I generally have a couple of slices every week, so it’s one of the most common purchases I make when I’m at the grocery store. I came across the Simply Nature Uncured Pepperoni Thin & Crispy Crust Pizza for …
Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake Mix Butter Yellow Recipe
For as long as I can remember, I have always used Betty Crocker super moist cake mixes to make homemade cakes: they are easy to prepare and can be dressed up or down to my liking. The box mix provides the base for my cakes, but I ultimately get to …
Dunkin Donuts Bavarian Kreme Donuts
Dunkin Donuts is my old time favorite donuts since I was a childhood. I remember when I am just small kid I always told my mother to bring me assorted Dunkin Donuts. I loved it since they made this Donut totally different from others, its not too sweet and …
Great Value Chocolate Chip Cookies
As part of my household’s cutting-back budget, we have begun buying staples like shampoo from the dollar store and switching to generic and store brands of other things, especially foods.As such, we recently purchased our first tube of non-Toll House chocolate chip cookies and made the switch to Wal-Mart’s …
Jell-o Gelatin - Cranberry
Jell-o Gelatin - Cranberry variety is not really a flavor that I go wild over like some other flavors that I never seem to get tired of, like the blueberry variety. I get a taste for cranberries maybe a couple of times a year, if that, and when I …
Taco Bell Cantina Tacos - Carnitas
Taco Bell recently announced their Cantina tacos, which come in two soft corn tortillas doubled up, with cilantro and onions as well as a lime wedge. There are three meat choices available, including carnitas (marinated pork), steak, and chicken. For a meal including three tacos, it will …
Dark Mayan Coffee
Growing up, my mother drank a cup of General Foods Instant coffee everyday. I use to love to sneak a drink when she was not looking. How that coffee always tasted so good to me. So when my sister gave me Dark Mayan Chocolate coffee …
NuNaturals NuStevia White Stevia Powder
This alternative sweetener is made with stevia, which is a calorie-free sugar substitute made from an herb native to Paraguay. It’s a white powder that looks similar to sugar but is up to 200 times sweeter, and sometimes has a licorice-like aftertaste. Because of this, less of it needs …
Banquet Salisbury Steak
Admittedly, Banquet Salisbury Steak does not exactly live up to its picture on the box. The steak does not look quite as big, the mashed potatoes do not look nearly as fluffy and the corn does not appear as fresh. Indeed, it looks as if judging by the size …
Tazo Organic Chai Spiced Black Tea
I recently picked up a box of the Tazo Organic Chai Spiced Black Tea and I must say it is so tasty. I love that this tea is made from organic ingredients such as black teas, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger root, cardamom, cloves and star anise. These ingredients combined …
Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice - Jasmine
If you’re a fan of Jasmine rice but aren’t a rice cooker then I highly recommend giving this product a try. It is probably my favorite rice on the market today. I’ve never been good at cooking rice. I always have to buy the precooked rice …
PurAqua Frut Flavored Water Variety Pack
I found this flavored water from PurAqua, and yes, it’s spelled “frut” as opposed to “fruit” on the packaging for some odd reason, to be more refreshing than flavorful. Naturally, it’s going to be refreshing because it’s water, and when it’s enjoyed good and cold, it’s a refreshing, thirst-quencher. …
Libby’s Vienna Sausages
I like Libby’s Vienna Sausages, they are tasty and soft, an excellent choice for a quick snack. The tiny can of 6 small sausages costs under 50 cents. The sausages look like hotdogs cut in half. They are made of chicken, pork, and beef; very tender and moderately salty. …
Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust Pizza
Pizza Hut recently reintroduced the Stuffed Crust Pizza. I remember this coming out a few years back, they put a tube of cheese inside the crust to encourage people to eat the crust. Some pizza places don’t have very good crust, but Pizza Huts was never that …
Nature’s Nectar Cranberry Energy Drink
I quite liked this energy drink from Nature’s Nectar. I didn’t like it as much as the raspberry and cranberry blend that is also made by the same company, but as a pure cranberry drink, this drink satisfied me. I liked how this energy drink actually reminded me of …
DiGiorno For One - Supreme Pizza
I must admit that where pizza is concerned, I’m basically a sausage and pepperoni type. I have flings from time to time with Canadian Bacon or something, but when I buy it, I tend to stick with what is tried and true. I’ve already reviewed DiGiorno For …
Entenmann’s 8 Frosted Devils Food Donuts
I enjoy Entenmann’s 8 Frosted Devils Food Donuts from time to time. The chocolate frosting as well as the chocolate cake interior are both quite rich and real in flavor, and that is always a very important factor. These donuts retain the unique Devils Food flavor found in Devils …
Bigelow Mint Medley Tea
I love this tea. It reminds me of childhood, when I would visit grandma; she had some mint in her garden, we would pick some mint leaves and add them to our tea… Ah, the aroma, and the fresh minty taste! I wonder why not so many tea brands …
Kinder Pingui
I must say that this is not my favourite snak. You have one stratum of crunchy chocolate than milk cream and then chocolate again. I mean, I like it but it is not my first choice because it is little bit too seet for my taste.
There’s now a new …
Wholly Guacamole Snack Packs in Classic
After being a big fan of the Wholly Guacamole brand for a while, I finally got to try one of their 100 calorie snack packs, and I’m absolutely in love! These packages are the perfect option for a quick, healthy snack without wasting an entire (expensive) package of guacamole!
Although …
Kashi Healthy Heart Cereal
I am always looking for new healthy cereals to help me start my day. On my recent trip to the grocery store, I decided to shy away from my normal cereal choices and try Kashi’s Healthy Heart Honey flavored cereal. Kashi is known for providing consumers with healthy choices …
Kraft Maxwell House 3 in 1 Coffee Mix
I am not so fond of coffee but I drink at least twice in the morning to keep me awake. I usually bought instant coffee so I can prepare it quickly. I used milk and sugar for my coffee and sometimes putting all these is such a hassle specially …
Bernie’s Bites Beer Battered Brat Bites
We decided to have pizza last night and, since I knew it wasn’t going to be something that would last us through our late night movie watching, I decided to pick up something to snack on.
The store I was at happened to have Bernie’s Bites Beer Battered Brat Bites …
Sweet Shoppe Spearmint Leaves 225g
I would recommend the Sweet Shoppe Spearmint Leaves to everyone. I sure had a great time eating them, and a pack of 225g sure lasted a long time. These are candies with a twist, they sure keep my breath fresh.
I just love sinking my teeth in these …
Cheetos Crunchy Cheddar and Jalapeno Flavor (8 OZ)
I recently bought a big 8 OZ bag of Cheetos Crunchy Cheddar and Jalapeno flavored Cheese snack in the supermarket for about $3 (Php 150). I have been craving Cheetos to snack on while watching TV or as a midnight snack. For $3 (about Php150), this is really a …
Milo Energy Drink
The Philippines is a tropical country. The weather here is very unpredictable. There are times that during summer, the rain falls heavily. There are also times that a when a typhoon hits the city, the sun shines brightly. That I can say is “only in the Philippines”.
One of …
Haldiram rasgulla
Haldiram is the brand name of many snacks and sweets. Actually all the food products of Haldiram are very good in taste. I have tasted most of the food from haldiram and all of them are very special and good in taste because they are made using the …
Cousin’s Meatball Subs
A couple days ago, I was in the mood for a meatball sub. Normally, I get these at Subway but Cousin’s was on the way home so I stopped their instead.
It was OK, but I think I still prefer Subway’s version.
I’m a huge Cousin’s fan, mostly because they do …
Milano’s Italian Grill Chicken Parmesan
For the first time, I tried today Milano’s Italian Grill Chicken Parmesan. I’ve previously enjoyed their Spaghetti with Meatballs meal, which I truly love, and I’ve eaten their Lasagna with Meat Sauce which I wasn’t thrilled with at all. I’m actually happy to report that my review …
Haribo Starmix (Mini’s)
Haribo Starmix Mini’s are tiny plastic bags of various Haribo jelly sweets (candies). All the kids I know love them, and quite a few parents do too, even though they probably don’t want to. So there is some truth to the jingle “kids and grown-ups love it …
Milka Tripple Choco Cocoa, chocolate bar
New Milka product is always a thrill for me so imagine how happy I was when I saw that two new types of Milka chocolate bars were out. I like the original milk Milka chocolate because it is delicious and it is not too sweet for my taste, so every …
Glico Curry
This is a great food for vegetarians, in my opinion, as this sauce mix adds a lot of flavour to any meal. I often have it with veggies and rice.
It can be a bit tricky to use if you are not using the whole package at once, as I …
Spaans Ginger Bars Sugar-Free Cookies
Continuing on with my holiday-season-stealing of my folks store-bought cookie arsenal (see my previous post on Spaans Lemon Chiffon cookies for more context) next up, Spaans Ginger Bars Sugar Free Cookies.
On the plus side once again, as apparently customary with Spaans’ packaging, you get a whole 10 oz tub …
Hunt’s Snack Pack Pudding Cups Vanilla
The Hunt’s Snack Pack Pudding Cups Vanilla come in a four pack for one dollar and ninety-nine cents. Although that works out to be about fifty cents per pudding cup, I don’t think these pudding cups are worth even that. Although I’m quite fond of vanilla, I don’t think …
Nesquik Chocolate Milk Mix
My spouse purchased Nestle’s Nesquik Chocolate Milk Mix at the grocery store last week and I wasn’t too pleased because I really didn’t want to give our children any further excuse to have extra sugar in their diets.
I was surprised to see a ‘vitamin enriched, same great taste’ banner …
Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Cool Wrap
The Chargrilled Chicken Cool Wrap at Chick-fil-A is wrap that I found to be flavorful and enjoyable, although it is not my favorite of the three wraps sold by this fast food restaurant. This wrap is really quite packed - there is grilled chicken, which I find to be …
Nescafe 3in1
I was recently in Thailand on a holiday trip , traveling to beautiful holiday resorts. I really enjoyed the visit with the weather so pleasant and favorable too.
Since I am a coffee addict, I too packages of Nescafe 3in1 so I can have coffee any time any where …
Bigelow Red Raspberry Herb Tea
While I am not much of a tea drinker, I find Bigelow Red Raspberry Herb Tea irresistible. I had discovered it at Walmart quite some time ago, and it has been on my regular grocery list ever since. This tea comes in tea bags, there are 20 of them …
Baker’s Corner Spring Confetti Deluxe Moist White Cake Mix
Baker’s Corner Spring Confetti Deluxe Moist White Cake Mix is a product that sells for ninety-five cents at ALDI Food Market stores. Eighteen point nine ounces of cake mix come in a box, so it contains about as much cake mix as your average Pillsbury or Duncan Hines cake …
Haldiram ready to eat bhel puri
As I have already said that Haldiram is a very good and famous company for producing many kind of tasty and good quality food products such as sweets and other ready to eat snacks. And now I am going to share my opinion about the Haldiram ready to …
Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips Salad
The Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips Salad is easily my favorite of the Chick-fil-A salad offerings. A main reason is because in this salad comes my favorite kind of chicken: the kind that has a crispy, seasoned, exterior. At least Chick-fil-A prepares these strips in peanut oil, so they are a little …
Marks & Spencer Cheese & Onion Pie
I purchased this Cheese & Onion Pie from Marks & Spencer today and it is something I have purchased many times before. I was feeling a bit poorly today and did not feel like a big meal so just cooked up a small portion of this pie …
Old London Bagel French Onion Chips
The Old London Bagel French Onion Chips are very rich in onion flavoring - more so than any French Onion flavored potato chips that I have ever had and best of all, these bagel chips do not come with all the grease that potato chips have to offer or …
Alpine Full Cream Evaporated Milk
Keeping an evaporated milk in my kitchen is very important for me. I’ll never know when I’m going to need it. But since I cook a lot, I’d like to have it available because I know some menus that need it. One of my favorites is soup. Whatever soup …
Silk Soymilk
I’ve been using Silk soymilk for about 5 years now. I LOVE it! I can’t say enough good things about it to be honest. I originally started drinking it because I am allergic to dairy. It took a couple days to get used to the flavor being different but …
Tesco Pure Apple, Mango and Lime juice
I’ve tried this Tesco Pure Apple, Mango and Lime juice when one time I bought something as part of the preparation for my sons’ birthday party. Although I’ve got some other drinks like fizzy drinks but I thought that maybe there are some guest who are a bit …
Roger’s Curried Duck
I don’t know how many people have experienced curried duck before but it is pretty popular here in my country and also pretty expensive. My absolute favourite curried duck is cooked by a man named Roger. He just gets all the measurements right every time it seems.
Curried duck goes …
Angels delight dessert
One day this summer when I was talking on Skype with my boyfriend, before his second coming here, he said in exiting voice that he brought me something I would surely like in his favorite store, Tesco in Braintree. And boy, was he right! Good thing he know …
