Bake House Halloween Cinnamon Rolls
How does one take a cinnamon roll and give it a Halloween twist? By throwing on some chocolate frosting, of course. Apparently, that’s how Bake House, the company behind these Halloween-themed cinnamon rolls, thinks, because the Bake House Halloween Cinnamon Rolls are no different from the cinnamon rolls that …
Coffee House Ready to drink coffee
I know I already have attested and admitted how much I enjoy drinking a cup or a glass of cold coffee or frappucino. Well it is not quite obvious that even coffee mixes in tetra packs have been tried by me. Just this morning, I tried the “coffeehouse” brand …
Tortellini Four cheeses (BARILLA)
BARILLA, the Italian pasta maker, is probably the most popular among the “big” commercial pasta producers. Some of its success may be attributed to the variety and the sheer ubiquity of their many products. But they wouldn’t be as popular as they are if they weren’t simply good - surely …
Powerade: Sour Melon

Hunt’s Snack Pack: Banana Pudding
I’m not really a pudding person unless it’s a flavor I absolutely can’t resist: I can’t resist banana pudding.
I didn’t really find the Hunt’s Snack banana pudding until I was looking for some Jell-o which Wal-Mart stocks right next to each other. I didn’t even notice it was banana …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Toasted Almond Fudge
This is not one of my favorite ice cream varieties. Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Toasted Almond Fudge is an ice cream variety that has quite a strong almond flavor mixed in with the creamy chocolate ice cream. I personally prefer the almonds that are mixed with the pistachio …

Muller Light Smooth Raspberry and Cranberry Yoghurt
I was going to write a great review for this Muller Light yoghurt until I realized it is not actually suitable for vegetarians so that will teach me not to check the ingredients. Muller Light generally contains gelatine and this raspberry and cranberry one I am reviewing contains …

Quiznos Meatball Sub
For lunch today I had a meatball sub from quiznos for lunch and I have to say I was pretty disappointed in the subs quality. I get meatball subs from Subway quite often and thought that one from quiznos would be just as good if not better. The Quiznos …
Hidden valley Bacon and onion

Mrs. Baird’s: Powdered Sugar Donuts Grab N’ Go
Mrs. Baird’s: Powdered Sugar Donuts Grab N’ Go are mini donuts. In two bites, a mini donut is gone, thus making these small donuts convenient for munching when in an hurry. Of course, considered the mess that powdered sugar makes, I would not recommend eating these if you are …

L’oven Fresh Chocolate Chip Brownies
Packaged brownies will never, ever taste as moist or as fresh as freshly baked brownies at home. That being said, these pre-made brownies aren’t bad, but they aren’t as moist and soft as I would have liked them to be. They get softer if I warm them up in …
Cooley Family Farm

So Delicious Coconutmilk Butter Pecan ice-cream (No sugar added)
I love the ice-cream and I’ve tried all kinds of it: regular cream-based, low-calorie, low-sugar, low-carb, low-fat, vegan. But never have I tried vegan ice-cream with no sugar in it. This one looked interesting to me since that seems to be the only low-sugar vegan ice-cream. I picked the “Butter …

Knorr Pasta Sides Beef

Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Spanish Style
What I like the most about “Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Spanish Style” is that the rice is both soft and flavorful. I dislike rice that comes out tasting hard, and quite thankfully that’s never a problem I’ve come across with this brand. Every spoonful is smooth in texture in …
Pop Weaver Butter Popcorn
It’s too bad I’m not really that crazy about the flavor of this popcorn because I like that this popcorn is made with canola oil. Since it’s made with canola oil, there’s not quite as much saturated fat and there’s even some good things to be found in this …
Fruit Pastilles
Fruit Pastilles, these were one of my favourite sweets when I was younger, they were so moorish that I could eat a pack in minutes, but I hadn’t had them in ages before a few days ago. To be fair as well, maybe it’s because they are not chocolate, …

Product Description: Frozen pieces of breaded shrimp available at Walmart for about $4.

Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream - Fudge Swirl

I’ve often said Hormel is my favorite food brand for bacon, and that’s still true, though I do use Oscar Mayer from time to time. Recently, in fact, I saw Oscar Mayer Hearty Thick Cut Bacon on sale and purchased a couple of packages.
While Hormel adds some zest …
