It’s well known that Olive Oil is a better oil to use as it’s heart healthy but good extra virgin olive oil can be very expensive.
My sister had us over for a lovely italian meal and told me that she uses PurOliva.
I decided to give it a whirl.
It’s a …

Although I would not call it my favourite kind of drink, I still like having a good peanut punch drink once in a while when I have a crave for it. I usually see a few cheap brands that make it, and a few of them do not taste …

You can buy a bottle of this for around six dollars, and it is well worth your money. I cannot express how much I love this product! It is absolutely amazing!
I have had a bottle of this for about a year now, but I use it sparingly, because I …

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 …

Metromint - Orangemint Water is a variety of flavored water that I enjoy, although I do not quite like it as much as the peppermint and spearmint varieties that are made by the same company. However, I do have this flavored water once a week generally because I still …

You know, back in the day, I really loved a good ice cream sandwich. That’s because they really were wonderful. I’m not sure what brand they were back then. Maybe Crystal made them, or perhaps some other company, but somewhere in the last 25 years, sandwiches …

Blue Bunny King Size Chocolate Eclair Ice Cream Bar just does not seem to work very well for me. I quite enjoy a good, flavorful eclair, but this is not something that reminds of an eclair. The chocolate in this frozen treat is not all that creamy or even …

Recently, I had a similar pasta meal that I just loved to pieces so when I saw Marie Callender’s Three Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni & Chicken, I decided to give it a try as well and see if it was as good, or at least close.
This product consists of ricotta, …

I didn’t care very much for this Italian Side. The main reason that this Italian Side failed to win me over is because of the tomato sauce. It was pretty bland and thus not satisfying to the taste. The sauce did have some garlic mixed in for seasoning, but …

I found this Wholly Guacamole one day in one Health Store as I was scouting for a healthier alternative to Mayo. Of course it would be boring to eat chips, salad, tacos, or burritos without toppings or dip but I am worried with too much fats and cholesterol …

I got home and opened the package, hungry and excited to try it out. …

The Mcchicken sandwich from McDonalds is my favorite from their value menu. Obviously a price of dollar one is very attractive. But even more than that I like the taste of this sandwich very much. The constituents of Mcchicken are very simple. The chicken patty is very soft and …

When I was a weight-obsessed teenager, I would often have an Options hot chocolate drink, taking a couple to work to have instead of coffee. I can see why because they are only 33 calories per drink which is nothing. The Options instant hot chocolate drinks are …

Clancy’s Traditional Party Mix is a great alternative to the more expensive mixes that are sold in grocery stores. This is pretty much the only party mix that I’ve come across that sells for just under two dollars and comes in a fifteen ounce bag. It’s a great value …

I started buying Chef Boyardee Mini-Bites Mini Pasta Shells and Meatballs when my store stopped carrying their regular spaghetti and meatballs. I really don’t know why they did that; it really made me an unhappy camper.
Regardless, Chef Boyardee Mini-Bites Mini Pasta Shells and Meatballs aren’t bad. They …

French Fries at the Jack in the Box are the worst I have ever had. When I had it first at a Los Angeles Jack in the Box location, I thought it is only about that store. But when I had it in other locations I confirmed that the …

Previously I never would have shopped at the co-op, as I have always thought of the produce as being cheap and yet overpriced. I would have walked past the co-op in order to get to a different shop, or worse still, I would have got in my car and …

As in life in general, in cheese you absolutely get what you pay. In our family, fridge without at least five assorted brands of cheese is an empty fridge. It looks like our mission is to try every cheese available in the globe. As much as I know, there are …

I cannot afford to buy the bulk of my grocery shopping from Marks and Spencer but they do a few luxury goods that I regularly treat myself to, such as their Extremely Chocolatey Mini Bites. You get 18 bites in a tub for about £2.49, but they do …

A Review of Yamazaki 12-year Scotch
I often gravitate toward more sophisticated and classy forms of alcoholic entertainment since nothing soothes the soul and punctuates an evening better than some Frank Sinatra records on my newly purchased new-record-player-for-old-records playing in good ole’ Mono, the smell of tobacco, and a …

Stouffer’s Harvest Apples make for a relatively delightful side dish or after dinner treat. The reason I use the word “relatively” is because I believe that these apple slices could stand some improvement. Where the improvement could be made is in the flavor. There is not a great deal …

As I live in Florida, I tend to be spoiled with the real deal: fresh orange juice. With orange trees in abundance, it is simply about picking the oranges off trees and squeezing the oranges for super fresh juice. Even if we didn’t have oranges nearby, we can head …

Reese’s pieces candy bars are absolutely delicious and they are not really a candy bar but two cup cake shapes that are chocolate and these candies taste just freaking awesome but the only real downfall to these chocolates are that they are very small and they absolutely are not …

Oatmeal for breakfast is probably one of the best things the mankind has ever invented. I don’t really like savoury breakfast foods and the oatmeal is my favourite thing to eat, and not just for breakfast. That alone makes chosing the best oats a very important thing for me. But …

This is the first sweet snack I got to taste from Oishi. I was looking for cereal for our breakfast and then I found it. It looks different because they make a snack out of cereal and it uses chocolate as the coating. It also claims to contain Iron …

Frozen dinners have come a long way from when I was a kid, and Marie Callender’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce with proof of that. Since I’ve always enjoyed my meals at a Marie Callender restaurant, once they began to market frozen foods, I gave them a try. …

I love having Odom’s Tennessee Pride Sausage for breakfast, it is a great addition to French toast or waffles. This sausage is sold whole or sliced, in a box. We have bought both versions; the taste is the same, but each packaging type has its own advantages and disadvantages. …

I really like Ferrero chocolates and sweet products because they all taste great and I must admit that Ferrero is my favourite chocolate company because they make excellent chocolates with nuts. Ferrero is an Italian company and they have so many different products, and I’ve tried most of them.
Yesterday …

These frozen shredded hash browns are pretty decent, although not truly delicious or anything like that. The bag is twenty-six ounces, so there’s quite a lot of shredded hash browns in a bag. Being made out of potatoes, hash browns really don’t have much flavor alone, regardless of whether …
