I was a cook for hundreds of people, and made excellent chili. The closest product available in stores seems to be Stagg’s Chili (a good one), followed by Hormel. I have also tried a few others. Unfortunately, I tried Dennison’s Chili, as well. My advice - DON’T. It’s pasty, …

I bought this bottle of honey the other month when I came down with a sore throat. And if you ever had a raw sore throat you know exactly how much it can hurt. I felt pain with every swallow and it kept me awake all night, too. I …

I bought several different Ritter Sport chocolates when they were on discount, about a month ago, I eat one and put them in the kitchen cupboard and completely forgot about them. Yesterday I really wanted to eat something sweet and I remembered that all those chocolates were in the cupboard. …

So they say that orbit helps to keep your teeth healthy because it raises the value of ph in your mouth. Well, ph is the indicator of acidity and acidity causes caries.
My favourite Orbit is Winterfrost one because it gives you really fresh breath. I always have Orbit in …

A favorite snack growing up was Hostess Cupcakes. Hostess is one of the more reputable brands with a good history behind it. As a kid, that didn’t matter to me much, but it does now.
Hostess Cupcakes are chocolate cupcakes with a creamy filling. Each cake has …

Ok, I’m not sure if it’s because the people working at our local pizza hut are a bunch of idiots or if the commercials lie about how great the new Panormis Pizza is. But, whichever the case, I’m seriously disappointed in it.
When my wife and I saw the commercials …

As I really like vanilla yogurt I can rarely resist to buy one, specially if on discount. Sterzing Vipitieno Vanilla Yogurt was on a 0.21 Euro which is really a great price. It isn’t easy to find such cheap yogurts these days, specially since the Crisis started and everybody …

I love making pasta salad in the summer time along with my own ranch and Caesar dressings. However, I find myself going through a lot of mayonnaise often, which is why I always purchase my store brand mayonnaise, which is My Essentials Real Mayonnaise. The mayonnaise comes in a …

Totino’s pepperoni pizza rolls are mini versions of a regular size pizza. They’re equivalent to two fortune cookies, and packed full of cheese, tomato sauce, and mini squares of pepperoni.
There are two sizes that you can purchase: The large family size bag or the smaller bag. I purchased …

I use bru coffee because the main reason is that this coffee gives me the taste of the perfect filter coffee, I drink a cup of bru coffee in the evening, every day. The good thing is that it has very good quality and it is also very …

Even though I’ve seen a recent spike in popularity for the Dannon frusion smoothies, they’ve been around for some time. I didn’t really start drinking them until my grandma started buying them for me, which originally were purchased solely for herself but she found that she didn’t like them …

Mulino bianco (or “White mill”), the line of baked goods produced by the famous Italian company Barilla, includes a good array of different cookies.
Among these, the Pan di Stelle (or “Starry Bread”) many people’s favorite.
I think it’s the decoration what appeals to most people at first: those little dark-chocolate-brown …

Okay. I admit it. I was suckered in by the health nuts, and finally gave up my stubbornness and decided to try this infamous Silk that everyone’s been talking about. Soy milk sounded rather repulsive to me, so I was really pretty hesitant to even allow …

I don’t normally complain about the food I get from Cousin’s Subs. Normally the service is somewhat questionable but the food makes it worth it.
But, I tried their chili last night and have to say I wasn’t very impressed with it.
I picked it up looking for something warm to …

I typically love mint teas, and decided to try Bigelow’s Plantation Mint tea. It smells great while hot, and the first few sips are very pleasant. I usually add about two teaspoons of sugar, which brings out the mint flavor a bit more. And although the …

I am a big fan of Pop-Tarts pastries so I decided to buy the new half chocolate, half strawberry Splitz box. Previously I enjoyed both chocolate and strawberry flavors, but I wondered if it would be a good combination if they were mixed. The pastry itself has chocolate filling …

I kept seeing the commercials for the new Munchito crunch wrap from Taco Bell and in the ads it looked like a little wrap filled with different toppings. After seeing the commercial several times, I still wasn’t sure if I wanted to try it. I tend to buy the …

I have been a big fan of extra gum for years now. Believe it or not, there was actually a time when I thought wrigley’s doublemint gum tasted good. Well, I guess the flavor was alright, but it certainly did not last very long! Also, it …

Continuing on with my holiday-season-stealing of my folks store-bought cookie arsenal (see my previous post on Spaans Lemon Chiffon cookies for more context) next up, Spaans Ginger Bars Sugar Free Cookies.
On the plus side once again, as apparently customary with Spaans’ packaging, you get a whole 10 oz tub …

Cookout is this strange little fast food chain around Charlotte, North Carolina. I assume they have other branches in other cities too, but I don’t know for sure. When we went, we found that they had an almost overwhelming amount of options on their menu board and we ended …

I am guilty of craving chocolate. I have certain times that I just seem to really want chocolate more than others. I end up snacking on high-sugar, high-fat chocolate candy bars. I did a survey on snack food eating habits. After the survey was done, I had a coupon …

It says on the package: “Delicious bread crisps seasoned with onion”. And I have to agree with that statement. “Bake Rolls” is indeed delicious.
In my quest to limit my intake of chips, I switched to “Bake Rolls”. One package has approximately 90 grams of baked bread crisps. The onion …

I buy a certain type of wine each holiday season. The wine is called Electric Reindeer. I buy this at World Market. They have different types of the Electric Reindeer variety. There is a White Zinfandel, Merlot, Shiraz and I believe also a cabnernet.It is a versatile brand.
I like …

I got this tea selection for my birthday, and as tea is one of my favourite things, I loved this present! The teas are presented in a lovely big, green cardboard box, with a beautiful eastern, flowery design.
There are 160 teabags in there, so it should …

I buy these cookies nearly every week. They’re not only crispy delicious, they’re fun to eat too, as each one is really shaped like a butterfly.
I also love the box packaging, as what you see in the picture is what you get inside. The cookies are also …

I like making salads to go with dinner but it’s hard to find quality tomatoes around here; unless you pay a fortune at the farmer’s market.
That’s why I was pleasantly surprised by the Wilson’s brand of Cherry Tomatoes I bought the other day.
My biggest problem with tomatoes is they …

Chocolate chip cookies are my favourite ones but it really isn’t easy to find good ones for a good price.
McEnnedy Big Nut Cookies can be bought at Lidl stores and they don’t cost much, they price is usually about 1 Euro for 150g of these cookies. I bought them …

Applebees restaurant serves many different appetizers. These include quesadillas, nachos, buffalo wings, and onion rings. One appetizer that I enjoy very much are the onion rings.
These onion rings are very inexpensive, only five dollars for a large basket. Applebees has a special every night- after ten o’clock pm, …

This review is for the new to Canada McDonald’s Iced Coffee. This is quiet possible the worst tasting drink that I have ever had. If you are expecting something close to a Tim Horten’s Iced Cap., forget it. I took a drink of my McDonald’s Iced …

While the General Mills Cinnamon Burst Cheerios cereal may be bursting with cinnamon flavor, the box that the cereal comes in certainly isn’t bursting with cereal. Ten ounces of this cereal will cost an individual around two dollars and fifty cents, depending on where the cereal is purchased. That’s …

I have been drinking green tea for quite a while. But I have been drawn to the Sobe variety. When I strolled through my local supermarket, I was surprised to see that Turkey Hill had a mojito flavor. Mojitos are alcoholic cocktails that are flavored …

Two years ago I was diagnosed with chronic dermatitis and the dermatologist told me that that the best I can do was control it with cortisone, which is a topical steroid. There was no cure for it, at least the doctor said. So for a year I regularly applied …

I have already tried Maxwell House before as a coffee brand. That was the flavored variety. I always love flavored coffee during ordinary days but there that days when you really want a high doze of concentrated caffeinated coffee to perk you up. Sadly, when I tried this, I was …

Krusteaz Pie Crust Mix is not a pie mix that I will be purchasing a second time. I wish that I had not purchased it the first time really because it ended up detracting from the pie that I made. What exactly is so bad about this pie crust? …

I find these Entenmann’s Little Bites Chocolate Chip Muffins to be rather plain and boring. There is simply not much to them. The muffin cake is alright, although somewhat on the dry side. I prefer my muffins to be quite moist and fresh - that is most certainly when …

I am writing this review as i am drinking my very own cup of SuperMix 3 in 1 Coffee. This is a instant coffee mix, so it only need to be prepared in the most simple way. Just add hot water and you get your nice cup of coffee.
The …

I love Betty Crocker products so I recently bought her Scalloped Potatoes in Country Cut Cheddar to go with a meal I was making. Not being a big fan of freezes dried foods I was sceptical how these potatoes would turn out but I need not have worried.
These Betty …

Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Broccoli and Beef is a meal that I found to be fairly satisfying in flavor and quite filling as well. What I like about this meal is the beef that is used is both tender and flavorful, so it is quite easy to enjoy. This …

Unlike the chocolate variety of mini-donuts, Mrs. Freshley’s Halloween: Powdered Mini Donuts actually have a pretty decent flavor to them and I will say that I enjoyed devouring the six mini-donuts. The powdered sugar provided these donuts with a satisfying flavor that left me with a smile on my …

Last Christmas, I received coffee with a strange looking coffee press as a gift from one of my relatives who work abroad. She gave me Trung Nguyen Coffee Gourmet Blends from Vietnam. The coffee press Vietnam style was a bit difficult to figure out at first since I could …

Although these Little Debbie Holiday Snack Cakes - Vanilla variety are only available around Christmas time, I do manage to hold them over for a couple months after they have left the grocery store shelves by sticking them in the refrigerator. The reason I do this because I enjoy …

I love eating Subway and recently they added a special to their usual menu. You can add a drink and snack if you pat a certain amount of extra cash. I thought over the deal and it sounded like a good one to me. This deal is what lead …

This is another product that has long been in use in my household — Pillsbury Biscuits - Buttermilk. Nowadays, I usually buy the value pack of four rolls. It’s still available as individual units that equal about 12 biscuits, and it’s also sold in a smaller, single-help …

I shop for food one time and I saw a bunch of Marshmallows on the shelves. I am not the type that like marshmallows, I only find it the color cute that is why I bought it. Specifically, I bought Markenburg Smallows Marshmallows. As I said, the color looks …

I don’t recall seeing Snickers Creme Hearts in years past so it may be a new item for the 2010 Valentine’s Day celebration. These small one-ounce treats come in a red package which actually shows what the candy will like out though it’s a conceptual image and not …

I went to Walgreens this past weekend to pick up some snacks for a party. I didn’t want to spend too much on chips so I ended up with the cheapest bag I could find; a bag of chips from the brand Poore Brothers.
Despite the low price tag on …

There was once a time when I absolutely hated Triscuit crackers. I always saw them on the commercials and they looked so good. But when I was younger, I tried them and was so disappointed by how much “texture” they had. Ironically, it is …

When I feel like eating a lot of ice cream and I don’t want to spend a lot of money, Carte d’Or is always a good option, as the family size box is cheap compared to other brands.
There are many flavours, and one of them is lemon. This lemon …

One of the drinks I really love to order whenever I’m at McDonald’s is their Coke Float. It’s a mixture of any softdrink you prefer and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I favor the combination of rootbeer and ice cream but McDonald’s seldom offer that kind of combination …
