This search recently led me to Skillet Masters dinners and I was able to give them a try last night.
Overall, I …

I think that the Kroger Value White Bread is a little better than the wheat bread that I also sometimes purchase with the Kroger logo on the packaging. The white bread is fairly light and fluffy and is ideal for toasting, for microwaving, for breakfast, for dinner and more. …

Kroger Toasted Oats cereal is based off of the General Mills Cheerios product. It is, however, superior to the General Mills cereal, I think. Much like how the Kroger’s version of the Honey Nut Cheerios is crunchier than the General Mills version, the Kroger version of Cheerios is crunchier …

I like most types of chips, from banana chips to plantain chips, corn chips and even potato chips. However, one thing that has caught my attention recently is Cassava chips. I started seeing packs of them being sold as soon as the recession started, since for some reason, bananas …

I was given the opportunity to try Lay’s Tapatio Limon Flavored Potato Chips one day when I had the craving for something crunchy. At the time I didn’t want to eat any granola, or find any trail mix. Fortunately enough my mom brought home a bag of …

Do you love hot chocolate on a cold winters day? I know when the temperatures begin to fall and I am chilly I enjoy sipping on a creamy and steamy cup of cocoa. I am a cheapskate by nature, and also by circumstance, so naturally when I saw Great Value …

Springtree: Maple All Natural Syrup is a syrup that is really very rich and delicious, more so even than the syrups made by Log Cabin and Mrs. Butterworth’s, two of my favorites, but unfortunately, I find this syrup to be ridiculously priced and for only, get this, eight point …

This mix doesn’t have as much fat and cholesterol as the Hungry Jack Original or Buttermilk mixes that call for oil, eggs and milk, but it ultimately fails to produce the same quality pancake that the aforementioned mixes make. The reason the pancakes that are made from this mix …

Even though I’ve been a vegetarian for most of my adult life, I still miss some of my favorite childhood dishes made with meat. I regularly purchase veggie burgers and chick patties, and though I’m satisfied with the taste of these substitutes, they have a unique flavor that …

I saw this new dish from Panda Express and decided to check it out. The combination of nuts and shrimp seemed a weird combination but Honey Walnut shrimp is not bad combination. My first feel was that out of shrimp dishes in Panda Express Honey Walnut shrimp is the …

I tried the Green Giant Sweet Potato Casserole for Thanksgiving again trying to make life a little easier for myself by preparing a connivance food at a busy time of the year and in lieu of serving something better than just plain sweet potatoes. This product can be found in …

Ok, I really need to rant about this soda that I just saw in a store and bought. It was Gross!!! No seriously, don’t drink it! Lol. The name of the soda is called “St. Nick’s Candy Cane Cola”. The only way to describe this is to call it …

Who doesn’t love chocolates? Everybody does! No matter how we know too much of it is bad for us, we couldn’t resist it. There is one particular brand of chocolate I love, and had always loved since I was little — a candy-coated chocolates shaped like mini-pellets, sort of …

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, …

Peeps Halloween Pumpkin Treats are pretty bland. Although I do like marshmallow, these marshmallow treats did not appeal to my taste buds the first time I purchased them. The marshmallow flavor seemed to be duller than the Easter themed Peeps and thus the sweetness just was not there. I …

They promote the hell out of this product where Ilive, so I thougth after seeing all the TV ads that I would purchase a box and give it a try. I was delightfully impressed.
This is a spicier red beans and rice, whcih i really like. as Ive gotten older …

I used not to like Mee Siam. In case you are wondering what this is, it is actually a gravy type of noodles, but the very thin strips one. Not the thick noodles like your spaghetti, though.
The gravy has to be spicy for me and in …

When it’s raining outside, there is nothing better than a good pot of stew. It was raining cats and dogs last time I had visited my mother and she had taken out my favorite brisket in the world: Murphy and David corned beef brisket. There is something about that …

I am addicted to Baja Beef Chalupas from Taco Bell. It’s horrible. They have too many calories, and I can never eat just one. The substandard ground beef and fiesta salsa lure me in every time I go to Taco Bell.
In the late 90s, they also …

Spam for me is a great breakfast. Whenever my niece and nephews stay with me, we always enjoy waking up in the morning seeing spam in our breakfast table. I also feel good because it’s not difficult to let them eat when it’s Spam. But then just like any …

“Marks and Spencer Cocoa Butter” is another product which my mother ordered in a catalogue from Avon some time ago. It is one of the few brands of lotions we have ordered from Avon, and so far I have not experienced any problems with it. I wouldn’t call it …

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 …

They say that upon biting into just one, you can taste the rainbow. I can assure you, they are NOT telling a lie. Skittles are basically M&M’s that are fruity, I don’t think I need to explain what an M&M is.
I think these candies are so good, because you …

I bought some Elmlea double cream substitute, which I thought was supposed to be healthier than cream. It has less fat than cream and a friend had recommended it to me. When I opened it up, it looked OK, quite nice and thick and it keeps for ages in …

I think these are fab little snack bars from Tesco’s own range. I have tried several of their own brand confectionary that are direct rip-offs of well-known brands of chocolate bars, like Mars bar for instance. This one is a carbon-copy of a Snickers bar, although they …

Starbucks is one of the best coffee that I liked, because they served its best. They served hot and fresh. This Starkbucks Coffee that is just nearby my place that is totally accessible. And one of my favorite coffee from their Espresso Beverages is their Cappucino. This Cappucino is …

Taco Bell has recently started selling something called the mango and strawberry fruit swirl. The one in my local area just got them in, but I think they may have been in other areas before. They are a little expensive, which I didn’t like that much because I think …

I purchased this frozen dinner, what would have been called a “tv dinner” when I was a kid out of a fit of nostalgia. My husband was out of town and I wanted to relive a taste from my youth. The brand I remember from childhood did …
