Hershey’s Dark Chocolate 100 Calorie Bar
Now if you read some of my other reviews you all should know by now I love chocolate. To be quite honest, as much as I love chocolate I am not the biggest fan of dark chocolate although it is said to be good for you. I’m not saying …
Best Foods Olive Oil Mayonnaise Dressing
I’m not a huge fan of mayonnaise, but I do think a good sandwich lacks something if it’s made dry or with mustard only, so it’s important to me to have a GOOD mayonnaise to use in the background. A lot of mayonnaise is just offensive to me, …
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 …

Carl Jr’s Breakfast Burger
Though it’s been on the menu for several years, I’ve never had the Carl Jr’s Breakfast Burger until I used a coupon to try it out. I do love coupons, and when they provide me some value, they really make me smile. I actually just had this …
Cliff Energy Bars
Taking care of my health due to restraint was becoming a major cause of concern in my life. Playing the role of a perfect homemaker and also trying to complete my assignments on time gradually started taking a tool on my health. Just eating what was available at my …

Market Pantry White Sandwich Bread is a loaf bread carried only at Target stores. Around thirty slices come in the wrapper and the sandwich bread sells for just under one dollar. I only bought this sandwich bread once because I can get just as much sandwich bread at Kroger …
Edwards Thaw & Serve Hershey Creme Pie (25.5 oz)
About once a month, we pick up an Edwards pie from the grocery store. Most recently, the favorite has been the Hershey’s Creme Pie. They’re a little bit pricey, but it’s a great treat for now and then.
These pies come frozen, but thaw in about 2 hours in the …
Trop50
Trop50 is gross. Advertised as a juice product with 50% less sugar, trop50 is not even really orange juice. It is “vitamin enriched juice drink.” I expected that it would taste like regular orange juice, just a little bit less sweet. I was wrong. …
McDonald’s Shaker Fries
I really enjoy eating french fries; more so if it is flavored with cheese, barbeque or sour cream. Mc Donald’s offers a good flavored fries which they call shaker fries. You can order this fries separately for Php50.00 (it was only Php48.00 last 2 weeks) or upsize your value …
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 …
Polland Fresh Chinese Lumpia
I am so full right now! I ate one (1) Polland Fresh Lumpia. I went down at the bus station near the Trinoma Mall here in Quezon City Manila, and they are the first to have the Polland branch in a mall that offers fresh lumpia. The price is …

try. Here are my thoughts:
Now I am not …
C2 cold bottled tea
I’m Not into tea before . I have to admit that for me it doesn’t perfectly suit my taste on beverages I usually drink. Until one day that cold flavored tea almost flood the market different companies offering different brands, tastes, and flavor of the said drink. As pioneer …
Kroger Apple Cinnamon Toasted Oats
Kroger Apple Cinnamon Toasted Oats is a cereal that I only purchased once and I likely will not purchase again. The reason that this was a one time purchase for me was I was disappointed in the apple cinnamon flavor. Maybe I was expecting too much from this cereal, …
Betty Crocker Super Moist Milk Chocolate Cake Mix
In my lifetime, I’ve tried a variety of cake mixes, and I suppose that at various times, different brands have been my favorite. Lately, I’ve been purchasing Betty Crocker Super Moist Milk Chocolate Cake Mix off and on.
For one thing, Betty Crocker is an industry leader. There’s …
Food Club Mexican Shredded Cheese
I decided to make chili tonight for dinner because it has been extremely cold outside the past couple of days and I wanted something that would both warm us up and be a filling dinner for both today and the rest of the weekend (I don’t get paid for …
hint - Strawberry Kiwi
The Strawberry Kiwi flavored water by hint is something I found to be tasty, although really, I think I could have done without the kiwi. Kiwi is not something that I have ever been able to really enjoy, and I certainly prefer strawberry several times over to the flavor …
Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon
I purchased a package of Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon recently after a glowing recommendation about it from a coworker. I got it at a local discount grocery store for $2.54 for a 12 ounce package. Considering how expensive pork bacon has gotten over the last couple of years, I …
Lindt Excellence chocolate
Iv never been a big chocolate eater, although I do love chocolate and I like the occasional treat. I usually buy cadburys but just a while back when I was out shopping I decided to try a bar of Lindt Excellence milk.
It had always caught my eye while …
Dove Peanut Butter chocolate bars
I’m a big chocolate lover and one of my favorite chocolates are by Dove. I also enjoy peanut butter candies but it’s often a hit or miss with me because I find many peanut butter chocolate candies to be either too sweet or too salty. There’s rarely been one …
TUMS Maximum Strength Ultra
TUMS Maximum Strength Ultra are really good. They also have anti acid and vitamin C in them. I feel really good after eating one of these everyday. They really help with heartburn and keep stomach acid under control. If you have problems with heart burn or stomach acid, these TUMS …
Nirapara iddli podi
I have tried Nirapara iddli podi, but I am not satisfied with this product. Because its quality is not good. I found some dust and mild stones in this mix. Even my hubby also got one stone while eating iddlis made by Nirapara iddli podi. Preparing idli with this …
Campbells Select Harvest Soup
I care about my health. I’m going to be 33 soon and really don’t want to see myself having a heart attack by the time I’m 40 so I am making efforts to eat right.
That’s why my wife and I decided to try Campbell’s Select Harvest Soups when they …

Mrs. Freshley’s Summer: Racing Chocolate Cupcakes
Like with other treats made by Mrs. Freshley’s with a special seasonal name, pay no attention to the name because there is nothing special about the treats. For example, Mrs. Freshley’s Summer: Racing Chocolate Cupcakes are nothing but chocolate covered and creme filled cupcakes that look and taste a …
Bojangles Pinto Beans
I recently had the chance to try the Pinto Beans side dish off the Bojangles menu and I have to say that I was a little disappointed. I like a lot of things this southern fast food chain offers, especially their macaroni and cheese and fries, but these weren’t …
Meijer Cotton Candy Confetti Ice Cream
I was interested in this ice cream, since I’m always curious about new flavors of my favorite dessert. I was curious about how Meijer could make a cotton candy-flavored ice cream.
I have to admit I wasn’t really expecting a whole lot from this ice cream. I knew it wouldn’t, …
Route 1 Candy Peanut Choklets
Route 1 Candy Peanut Choklets come in a twelve point six ounce bag for one dollar and ninety-nine cent at ALDI Food Market stores. This is a candy that combines chocolate and peanuts, a combination that isn’t exactly new, but it doesn’t do it at all remarkably. While the …
Little Debbie Creme-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes
I do not care all that much for these Little Debbie Creme-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes. I much prefer the Hostess chocolate cupcakes for a couple of reasons. The main reason that I prefer the Hostess variety is because the Little Debbie cupcakes are not quite as moist and rich. I …
Vermont Nut Free Maple Cremes
Christmas time is when my friends and family scattered around the world start sending me candy to share at the holidays. I have a lot of friends living in different parts of the US and since they know how much I love candy, they’re always trying to send me …
Stouffer’s Lasagna Bake with Meat Sauce
Stouffer’s Lasagna Bake with Meat Sauce is decent, although by no means fabulous. The pasta itself is fairly tender, although does not offer much else to the meal. The seasoned sauce spread over the ground beef does give the meal a certain flavor kick to it that I do …
Jack ‘n Jill Cream-O
I really love this choco cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies. It is creamier, thicker and really chocolatey. I always prefer this chocolate flavor compared to vanilla. I like munching this cookies during break time and coffee or milk goes with it perfectly. I dunk it to my cup of coffee …
Carnation Hot Chocolate drink mix
I drink quite a bit of hot chocolate, especially in the winter. I probably have a mug or two of it each day because I don’t really drink coffee. So because of this, I have tried lots of different kinds of hot chocolate.
I find that I prefer Nestle Carnation …
Little Debbie Mini Donuts Chocolate Frosted
Little Debbie Mini Donuts Chocolate Frosted are positively terrible! The chocolate frosting really does not taste a whole lot like chocolate to me. There is a hint of chocolate flavor, but it is accompanied by something else that is really
quite, well, bad. I do not know what it is …
McCormick Chicken Flavored Gravy
I use McCormick Gravy at least twice a month. I prefer the chicken flavored and use it on mashed potatoes. I have tried many different brands of packaged gravy over the years and have never found anything as good as McCormick’s. It is very important when buying packaged gravy …
Marie Callender’s Swedish Meatballs & Pasta
I followed directions on the package to boil the separate inner packets for thirty minutes - and they broke open in the boiling water. Next time, I tried microwaving them (the alternate method listed on the package), and a pool of thin liquid filled the bottom of the bowl. …
Kellogg’s Special K Cinnamon Pecan
This particular Special K cereal is not bad at all. It is not my favorite, but I enjoy having a bowl from time to time. The cinnamon flavor is quite rich and real, and having pecans in this cereal offers a unique flavor that a lot of cereals do …
Roma Three-Meat Pizza
I came home for lunch today and was surprised my wife made a pizza for the two of us. I was thrilled about this, of course, until I actually tried it.
I have had Roma pizzas in the past and was looking forward to the 3-meat one we had in …
Banquet TV dinners
When I was a kid my mom would on occasion buy Banquet TV dinners for us and I loved them. I think Banquet was one of the first companies to offer them. Anyway, I remember the fried chicken dinners were pretty good overall. They actually tasted like real food …
Fast Fixin Chicken Nuggets
A friend of mine has two small boys and works full time, and she often uses ready- made chicken nuggets to serve them as a fast dinner. She recommended them highly as a quick, easy and tasty meal. I tried them and loved them. For a while, I …
Cinnamon Flavored Twizzlers
I am a fan of Twizzler’s, so before I say this I just want it to be known that I haven nothing against their company and have enjoyed their delicious flavor when my sweet tooth is calling for me to enjoy something tasty and sweet. But the cinnamon flavored …
Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon
I tried one box of these and never felt the desire to purchase a second box. These things are really sweet! I like sweet things and I love cinnamon, when I eat a pop-tart, I do not feel at all satisfied and I feel like I just ate a …
Made In Nature Organic Apricots Dried and Unsulfured
I have the same problem with these organic apricots that I have with the “Sun Maid Mediterranean Apricots”, except the problem is worse! The problem I’m referring to is the occasional poor quality batch, although with these organic apricots, it’s not so occasional! Now these organic apricots are supposed …
IGA Semi-sweet chocolate chips
I love to bake and semi-sweet chocolate chips are a necessary ingredient in many of my culinary creations. That said, lately I have been unable to find my usual brand of semi-sweet chocolate chips and have been forced to finally try the IGA brand that has seemed to take …
Truvia Natural Sweetener
I really do not know what to think about this natural sugar alternative. The makers claim that Stevia is used in its manufacture, but to be honest, I don’t think it is used, or if it is, it is used in extremely minute quantities. Stevia has a distinctive bitter …
Asia Specialties Crispy Noodle Shrimp
My wife did some shopping at our local Aldi the other day and picked up some much needed groceries for our house.
As she was asked to do, she looked for some items that were somewhat different than what we normally would have for dinner. One of those items was …
Kool-Aid Sharkleberry Fin Artificial Flavour Punch drink mix
I am not really a fan of the Kool-Aid brand of artificial drink, but I sometimes buy it because it is cheap and when I can’t afford to buy another much better brand of even natural juice. I also can’t say whether or not I have a favourite flavour …
