I wasn’t …

Betty Crocker - Original Supreme Brownies are really rich brownies that are enriched with real Hershey’s chocolate. Enriched is most certainly the right word because the Hershey’s chocolate does indeed makes its presence known in these brownies! This gives the brownies a slightly different flavor than the other brownie …

I find these Little Debbie Fall Party Cakes - Chocolate variety treats to be decent, although certainly nothing spectacular. The cake itself is yellow and has a fudge filling within, while the outside features a layer of chocolate and features sprinkles that are orange, yellow and red on top. …

I love Japanese food that the love translates to love of wasabi. But how does one react to wasabi in macademia nuts? Doesn’t it sound strange?
Strange or not, it is here, the Suncoast Gold Wasabi Macadamias made by the …

I didn’t care too much for these waffles. I decided to give them a try because of the heart-healthy whole grains being a major ingredient in these waffles, but what bothered me about them is they tasted saltier than the waffles I’m used to, namely the Kroger Multigrain Waffles. …

Ferrero Rocher’s “Pocket Coffee” has become a time-honoured classic candy by now. Each attractively wrapped chunky praline, made of semi-sweet chocolate, is filled with good quality espresso coffee, which gives it quite a “kick”. When I was a university student, I often did use it exactly as it was marketed: …

I have tried the chicken quesadilla at every popular sit-in American restaurant. All of them had the same components: flour tortilla, chicken, cheese, and pico de gallo. They may give you lettuce or tomato. There are two things that vary vastly from restaurant to restaurant. …

Aunt Jemima Original Syrup is a long used product in my household. It’s one of a few syrups we’ve used over the decades. It made perfect sense to use the syrup since Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Mix was what we always bought. It was a natural fit.
Nowadays, …

I picked up a chicken dinner from one of the local grocery stores last night. And, since I didn’t want to pay deli prices on side dishes, I went to the actual grocery section to pick up a can of baked beans.
Normally, I would get Bush’s baked beans. But, …

The Meat Lovers Pizza that arrived from Dominoes wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. I think that I was hoping for a lot more meat, and they just didn’t deliver on that promise. The pizza itself arrived hot and smelling strongly of pizza sauce, but there were not enough …

If you like your crisps with a lot of heat, then you will love these Nandos Hot Peri-Peri flavoured crisps. For me they are a little too hot and I would prefer the spicy flavour of Sensations Sweet Chilli or whatever they are called. But I think …

I like chocolate chips cookies, sometimes I make them myself but then I usually make a bunch of them and that means putting some weight on. So although it is much cheaper to make them than to buy them I started buying them. For 1E I can make at …

Obviously you can’t beat the taste of name brand chocolate wherever you may live, be it Cadbury’s, Hershey’s, Lindt or Nestlé but it isn’t always the case to say that cheaper chocolate is an inferior product. Often, I find we pay in excess for a “name” with some products …

Chick-fil-A Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich is one that I had once and I might have again. Unlike McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A actually has decent bacon and so the bacon that is used on this sandwich offers a good flavor and was cooked well, at least the one time that I …

I like these Little Debbie Fall Party Cakes - Vanilla variety better than the chocolate variety simply because I like vanilla more than chocolate. The cake consists of yellow cake, a white, creme filling, as well as vanilla frosting and shades of autumn sprinkles. Really, this treat looks more …

Most people prefer Dasani or Aquafina water, or another type that is not generic. I, however, enjoy drinking Sam’s Choice Purified Drinking Water. This is the brand that is sold as Wal-mart, and I’d imagine it’s also sold at Sam’s Club. It sells for quite a …
