Healthy Choice French Bread Pizza
The Healthy Choice French Bread Pizza is a great, filling, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They taste fresh, and every time I have them for lunch someone at the office looks at my lunch, looks at their lunch, and sighs. It really is like those commercials lol. They always tell …
Post Honey Bunch of Oats with Strawberries
I love Post and it has always been a part of my daily routine to eat Post brand of cereals. I love the Post Honey Bunch of Oats with Strawberries! I bought a double-bag box for about Php 450. The caloric count is about 150 calories per serving with …
San Mig Coffee 3-in-1 Sugar Free
I love coffee and I like it strong and full-bodied. However, my husband and I have to go to the office early and, most of the time, there is just no time to brew coffee.
Luckily, there is San Mig Coffee Instant 3-in-1 Coffee Mix. It is three-in-one because …
Amport Foods Dried Blueberries
Almost addictive, these amazingly tiny dried blueberries pack tremendous flavor and are supposedly a fat free source of antioxidants. In a blue and clear 4 ounce plastic bag with a handy recloseable seal, they retain a little softness (not leathery like some dried fruits). They work well as a …
Oreos Cakesters Snacks
I have never been a fan of the Oreo cookies. To me a cookie should be soft and sweet with some added chocolate and the hard, not-so-chocolate taste of the cookies never appealed to me. So I was surprised when I tried the new Oreo Cakesters and fell in …
Clara Ole Thousand Island Dressing
I love eating fish because it does not have fats and it has health benefits. Salmon can prevent wrinkles and takes care of the heart like no other. But in cooking it, avoid deep frying any food. This would save you from absorbing oil in your system. I usually …
Freschetta Thin Crust Chicken & Spinach Pizza
I mentioned in an earlier review that we bought a couple of pizzas from the Freschetta brand. I was unhappy with the first pizza, a so-called 10-topping pizza, but hoped I would enjoy the unique flavor of the other pizza we bought; a chicken and spinach pizza.
I was wrong …
Blue Bunny Double Strawberry Aspen Frozen Yogurt Granola Bars
Blue Bunny Double Strawberry Aspen Frozen Yogurt Granola Bars are quite enjoyable and even somewhat nutritious as well! What makes these bars a somewhat healthy alternative to other frozen delights? Well, there is heavy emphasis on yogurt and granola in this frozen treat. However, you do not need to …
Dreyer’s Sherbet Orange Cream
I love the Dreyer’s brand of ice cream. It tends to be rich and creamy the way I like it. Recently, I was in the mood for sherbet. I love orange sherbet, but only have it as a treat from time to time. I saw …
Ramsons Vegetarian Baked Beans
Recently my parents brought home two tins of Ramson’s Vegetarian Baked Beans. Upon seeing the title I imagined that the beans might taste a little different from the other brands that we were used to buying , but as it turns out that wasn’t the case. The word “vegetarian” …
Steak McSkillet Burrito
I’m a big fan of the McSkillet burrito from McDonald’s and when I heard they were making one using steak, I knew it was something I had to try. The steak is the same that they use on their other breakfast sandwiches and I’ve eaten those without a problem …
Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Peanut Butter Cup
I must say, compared to the double chocolate and Oreo varieties, this Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Peanut Butter Cup really turned out to be quite the disappointment, even more so than the no-bake cheesecake varieties. The reason I found this product to be disappointing is because there was …
Dreyer’s Limited Edition Bakery Treats Slow Churned Cinnamon Bun Fun
Cinnamon rolls have been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. Whether for breakfast or as an after meal treat, I continue to enjoy the soft-baked rolls with cinnamon layers and a sweet icing glaze. Not surprisingly then, when I came across Dreyer’s Limited Edition Bakery Treats …
Annie Chun’s Miso Soup
Annie Chun’s Miso Soup is something that is easy for me to fix and have for lunch, although admittedly, the soup does not look all that fabulous. Still, what really matters is how the soup tastes and not so much how it looks. While the soup looks rather bland, …
Fritt chewy candy orange
I rarely eat candies because I like chocolate and biscuits much more, but sometimes when I see something in the store that looks tasty I just can’t resist it. That was the case with Fritt chewy candy orange. Actually there were several different tastes, like cherry and strawberry but …
Kowloon House’s Jumbo Siopao
In my search for a quick snack after work while everyone is asleep, I came across a small siopao store. The only one in the whole commercial strip near our place that has their lights on, with a sign board saying “Open 24 Hours”. I feel relieved, although I …
Amy’s Organic Salsa Medium
I was looking around a newly opened “Organics” store at a mall a week ago and this has caught my eye. I’ve been having this hankering for yummy salsa so I picked up a jar instead of the organic potato chips they were selling. I’m not usually one of …
Dasani bottled water
The sleek, dark blue packaging on the Dasani bottle is what caused me to try it out in the first place. It simply exudes elegance and gives the impression that one actually does care about what type of water they put into their bodies. The taste was, of course, …
Werther’s Originals
I remember the commercials so well. A young boy and his father entering a candy store, and the boy being rewarded with one of Werther’s Originals. It was portrayed as something very special, almost a rite of passage and a bond between parent and child. Yet, …
Eno Fruit Salt
Eno fruit salt is available in Asian grocery stores. It basic purpose is to get relief from acidity. It is kind of a home made soda. Just add half a tablespoon to a glass full of water and let it bubble a bit, drink it immediately and pretty soon …
Jolly Rancher Hard Candy (Blue Raspberry)
Last week, I had heard one of my friends talking about how great Jolly Rancher Hard Candies tasted, and how cheap they were, so what I ended up doing was buying one of them for myself especially when I found out that the candies were indeed cheap. Out of …
Pizza Hut Viva Lasagna
Viva Lasagna is the newest offering from Pizza Hut. As you can guess from the name, it is combination of pizza and lasagna.
Actually, I think it is just a normal pizza with some lasagna strips on top. Kind of boring if you think of it that way, but it …
Schlotzsky’s Angus Roast Beef & Cheese sandwich
Many years ago, I fell in love with Schlotzsky’s Roast Beef and cheese sandwiches. I used to love them not only for the wonderful tasty sourdough bread, but because their “special sauce” was so tangy. At any rate, I decided to order another of these. …
Snapps Crispy Mozzarella Sticks
Snapps crispy mozzarella sticks was the second of the Snapps products I purchased at super Wal-Mart. I normally don’t venture outside Farm Rich mozzarella cheese sticks, but these were one dollar and I thought it was a good deal. I was wrong.
When I put the mozzarella cheese sticks on …
Simply Made Lemonade
One of my favorite thing to drink is real fruit juice. I love orange, apple, and grape. I also love fresh squeezed lemonade. I saw Simply Made Lemonade in the store. I liked the sleek bottle and the label. The lemonade looked fresh because of the color. I decided …
Smithfield Smoked Ham Half Picnic
This past Thanksgiving, turkey has always been a tradition at my mom’s table, but last year we decided to go with ham instead. Neither one of us wanted to slave over prepping a ham and making a glaze for it, so we decided on buying a Smithfield smoked ham.
The …
Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit chewing gum
I am going to write about a chewing gum that I have been using from my childhood. Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit chewing gum’s taste is very well used to my taste buds now. The juicy fruit has a very sweet taste of mixed fruits. The chewing gum is very reasonably …
Pringles Potato Chips (Original flavor)
Chips is one of the junk foods that we can’t avoid. Since this is one of the less nutritious foods, it’s very important for us to have a minimal consumption of it. I seldom eat chips, but Pringles Potato Chips is really one of my favorites. Its thinly cut …
Oscar Mayer Wieners with Turkey, Pork & Chicken
I like the Oscar Mayer Wieners brand of hotdogs, they can be a little pricy, but the taste is always good. The turkey, pork & chicken variety is probably the cheapest, I bought 2 packs for $3 several days ago. The hotdogs are sold in packs of 10; actually, …
Nantucket Nectars Half & Half Lemonade & Iced Tea
I have been drinking this Half & Half for some time now, because I like the Nantucket Nectars company. I also drink their lemonade, which I enjoy very much. But sometimes I like a change from a strictly citrus drink, so I switch to this Half & Half drink. …
Hormel REV #1 Pepperoni Pizza
It’s not always easy to find time to eat during the day. Some, more than others, find themselves rushing about day in and day out, and just need something quick to eat in between going from one point to the next. Hormel has a line of simple wraps designed …
Old Grandad Bourbon
Many years ago, in Paris, I was staying at a hotel in the Latin Quarter when I noticed the manager trying to explain to a couple of young Americans that she didn’t speak English. As they didn’t speak French either, they were both a bit stuck. I intervened and …
Century Tuna Hot and Spicy
I just love this Century Tuna Hot and Spicy. It is very healthy and its good in the heart. Everybody in the family love this. We are not only using this as partner in our rice during meal time. We also ate this to make tuna sandwich. Before …
Herradura Anejo Tequila
Having never purchased a bottle of anejo tequila -I’d only had it in mixed drinks before - I decided to give it a try recently. Anejos are known for richer flavors because they take the longest to age. Although I prefer reposado tequila, I really enjoyed this Herradura Anejo …
Diana Butternut
Diana is a local company that sells a variety of confections, usually in the hard candles selection. They also have a product called Butternut which was one of my absolute favourite candy bars as a kid.
It has been years since I had a Butternut, but recently they began to …
Fit & Active Light Butter Popcorn
When they say “light”, they mean light! I don’t think though I’ll ever be able to get used to a lightly buttered popcorn, especially when the popcorn is as bland as this one. It has almost no flavor at all. Oddly enough, the buttery aroma was stronger than the …
Lacroix Lime Flavored Water
My wife recently purchased a 12-pack of LaCroix Lime Flavored water when she was out buying groceries. This was the first time I had seen water in an aluminum can and I haven’t enjoyed other flavored waters in the past. But, I am determined to try new things, especially …
Yoplait Original Strawberry Kiwi Yogurt
I was shopping in the dairy selection of my neighborhood Walmart, looking to stock up on yogurt. Usually I go for my favorite most trusted brand, but I’m all for trying new brands when the opportunity shows itself. Given that I’ve indulged in Yoplait in the past, I didn’t …
Chef Boyardee Cheese Pizza Kit
I first tried Chef Boyardee pizza as a child, which was many years ago. I would always get excited when I was grocery shopping with my mother and she bought a Chef Boyardee pizza kit, because making the pizza together was a special treat. I really enjoyed …
Uncle Chips
I used to have a lot of these in my teens, they tasted really delicious and costed around Rs. 10 at that time, they come in different flavors like potato and pudina, my favorite being tomato, the Masala that they had was quite addictive, the only bad thing about …
Cheese Club Macaroni & Cheese
The Cheese Club Macaroni & Cheese is a boxed macaroni and cheese product that’s sold in the non-refrigerated section of ALDI Food Market stores for twenty-nine cents. In one seven point twenty-five ounce box, there’s macaroni and a dried cheddar cheese pouch which needs to be added to the …
Orville Redenbacher’s Natural Popcorn
I’ve been a pretty loyal user of Orville Redenbacher’s microwave popcorn for years so just prepared a bag of their newest product — Orville Redenbacher’s Natural Popcorn. Per the bag, it has a reduced cooking time. Other flavors are also available, but I’ve only had the natural …
Tesco Vegetable spring roll
I’ve got this Tesco vegetable spring roll for the first time from Tesco supermarket when I had some visitor coming in the house for a party and since I don’t have much time left to do make a home made spring roll since I’ve been so busy cleaning the …
Tost K plus bread
This bread comes in a transparent wrapping, the slices are really thin and although the subtitle on the wrapping says bread with prolonged freshness I’d rather call it extra dry bread. There are 20 really dry slices in the wrapping and if you don’t have bread at home and …
Crystal Canyon Sparkling Apple-Pear
The label on this delicious beverage describes it as appropriate for a “champagne occasion — without the alcohol.” As I write this, my better half is scarfing down a saucer of pear wedges over which he has poured a shot of this sparkling treat, and he …
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, …
Oishi Sponge
Another super junkfood made by Oishi is the choco soaked snack Sponge. The “ring like ” choco crunch that every junkfood lover
will surely crave for.
If you find Oishi Pillows is too sweet that it makes your throat itchy, your search for the equally mouth watering cruchy snack is …
Nestle milo
Nestle is a very good and old company which produces many kind of chocolates and other such milk products. And now I am going to share my experience about using the Nestle Milo health drink, which I used for my kids. I had heard a lot about …
Taco Bell Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes
After eating this food I think I have been missing so much in the world of potatoes. Being a pescatarian means of limited food source since most of the fast foods and restaurant this days are all about meat. When I started to be a pescatarian potatoes has been …
