Nature’s Promise Organic Almond Butter
After much deliberation about the hefty $ 9.99 price tag, I picked up a 16 ounce jar of this smooth, unsalted almond butter. The only ingredient listed is “organic dry roasted unblanched almonds”, which is very important to me. I had almond butter before (different brand), so …
Charles Rum and Raisin Chocolate
I drink alcohol on occasions and I never drink enough to get drunk. But I do like the taste when it is just there in the background as a subtle flavoured blended into a drink or even dessert.
One day while shopping I ran across a new chocolate bar made …
Taco Bell Volcano Taco
I am going to start this review by telling you two things, 1) I normally love taco bell and 2) this was a nasty nasty taco I do not recommend. I almost never review food because I believe it is a personal choice. I am …
Archer Farms Strawberry Mango real fruit twists
Many people find snacking on fruits/chips/candy to be an integral and enjoyable part of their day. Myself included - though I typically get lost in sweet and, unfortunately, unhealthy snacks. Recently, I was searching through the pantry and uncovered a bag of Archer Farms Strawberry Mango real fruit twists …
Weight Watchers Cappuccino Cream Melts
I personally have not found many Weight Watchers brand snack items that I have enjoyed. To my delight, I have discovered a “favorite” in the new 2009 Cappuccino Cream Melts!
When I first tried one of the candies, it was 2:00 p.m. and I felt like I was on …
Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna In Water 5 Ounce Can
I’m not a big fish eater, but every once in a while I find myself craving a tuna fish sandwich. I like them a very particular way, though so I never order them out, I always make them myself. I like salt, pepper and plenty of lemon juice and …

Atlas Natural Salmon Eggs
After several years of fishing, mainly unsuccessfully, in almost every river, lake, creek, pond and even ocean in the Northwest US and Southwest Canada, I decided to try something I had always regarding as —˜cheating.’ On my next visit to my local fishing store, I purchased salmon eggs to put …
Grand’s Flaky Layer biscuits
I am not your typical biscuit person. Being from the north originally, I usually prefer bagels because I like the chewy, bready consistency. But on occasion I get the taste for biscuits. Here’s the problem with most biscuits though. If they’re not prepared …
Twix Chocolate Bar
Twix was first introduced into the UK in 1967 which means it has been around all my life and it has always been one of my favorite chocolate bars. Twix consists of two separate slim fingers of crunchy biscuit, topped with soft caramel and covered in milk chocolate. …
Miracle noodles
I’ve been trying to cut down on carbs. I saw an advertisement for these (also known as Shirataki noodles) and thought I’d give it a try. I purchased them directly from the Miracle Noodle website, which was from CA to PA. The order took five days to …
Nescafe Lingzhi
I am one of those people who relish their morning cup. At the same time, I am not averse to experimenting with different kinds of coffee, be it brewed or instant. Since I was temporarily driven out of my house by the recent flooding, I took this time to …
Leona’s Apple Walnut cake
Leona’s is a locally owned bakeshop popular in Cebu City. When my mom wanted to bring me there to buy some locally made pastries and bread, I wasn’t too excited. But when we got there, I understood why she wanted to go.
I bought Leona’s Apple Walnut cake slice. For …
Monster Energy Drinks
I am a fan of energy drinks, and I am all the time trying new ones. So far Red Bull has remained the best, that is of course until I ran across Monster energy drinks. Monster has it all: they pack more of an energy punch and …
Wye Rivers Crabbers Crackers
Wye Rivers Crabbers Crackers are one of those things that I saw and couldn’t believe it. I’ve seen potato chips with a similar flavor, but never crackers. They don’t look all that bad and they actually appear kind of cute, until you read the ingredients and the fine print. …
Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Homestyle Cheesecake
While I cannot say that this Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Homestyle Cheesecake is the most delicious or enjoyable cheesecake that I have ever had in my life, I will say that it is of reasonably decent quality for a boxed, no bake dessert mix. Compared to what the …
Jell-o Gelatin - Cherry/Black Cherry
Jell-o Gelatin - Cherry/Black Cherry is a deliciously rich treat to have and I am very pleased with the flavor of this fruit gelatin. Both the cherry and the black cherry taste precisely as I expected and so the flavor is really very authentic and natural. The texture of …
Cerelac Apple, Wheat and Milk
When my daughter started eating solid foods I gradually introduced different types and flavors of food. Since she really loves Cerelac I tried giving her Apple, Wheat and Milk and she likes it so much. Compared to Cerelac Rice, Banana and Wheat she likes this better. I am amazed …
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Kiwi
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Kiwi is a tasty variety, however I would like it better if the kiwi flavor was better represented. The strawberry flavor overrides and dominates the kiwi flavor, and I find that to be disappointing. I was really hoping to enjoy some delicious and scrumptious kiwi …
Healhty Mushroom Coffee
A Hundred Million Pesos in sales in mushroom coffee alone! There must be something right there! Although DXN Marketing carries a variety of products that range from health supplements, beverages and pesonal care, its most popular product remains to be The Lingzhi Mushroom Coffee.

Liquid Nitro Energy Drink
Recently, I’ve been under so much pressure from work, school and other things that I realized that by the time the day ends and I get home, I barely have enough energy left to do anything else that I need to do. I found myself living on energy drinks …
Fry Krisp Krispy Country Chicken Mix
I love krispy fried chicken. For me, that is so much better than the bread crumb fried chicken version. But, I am a little picky about the type of krispy. I do not like the Colonel Sanders “chunky” krispy fried chicken; I just look for something …
Buddig Honey Ham Lunch Meat
If you’re like me you enjoy making a sandwich that’s packed with all the fixings. In my opinion the best part of a sandwich besides everything else is the lunch meat. I know when going to sandwich shops like subway or making my own sandwiches and wraps at …
Morrisons High Fibre Bran Breakfast Cereal
I have been enjoying this High Fibre Bran breakfast cereal from the Morrison supermarket own brand label, more than I thought I would. This was really inexpensive at only about 79 pence for a 500g box which is a lot cheaper than the Kellogg’s All Bran that it …
Eggo: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bake Shop Mini Muffin Tops
Eggo: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bake Shop Mini Muffin Tops are terrible. They simply are. To my taste buds, these mini muffin tops are almost totally tasteless and plus, because they are so small, eating one does nothing for me at all. I know that these are not intended to …
LifeSavers candy
I like LifeSavers mint candy, it is one of my favorite candy-dish fillers. LifeSavers are available as Wint-o-Green (mint) and Pepp-o-Mint (peppermint); a well-sized 13 oz bag costs $1.98. Each candy is individually wrapped, and each has “LifeSavers” impressed on it. The candies are white, round, with a hole …
Linolada chocolate milk cream
I don’t usually buy Linolada because it is quite expensive and I prefer Nutella because it has much better taste. But the other day I went to the shop and I saw these small Linolada packs and I couldn’t resist. I must say that i really don’t know when …
Mrs. Freshley’s Cherry Pie
Like the berry pie, Mrs. Freshley’s Cherry Pie is quite delicious on the inside but pretty poor when it comes to the bland and dry crust. The cherry filling is really very satisfying and rich, plus it has an authentic taste to it, which is something that is certainly …
Valdosta Law Fat Whip, Blueberry
I like whips very much because they have lots of whip that is little sour and jelly that is sweet so all together it is great. I like when confections contain little of jelly because it is usually very sweet and I don’t like that. This whip has lots …
The Co-operative Fairtrade Rich Roast Instant Coffee Granules
This brand of instant coffee is not only completely ethical, but it is extremely cheap at just 84p for 100g.

CVS Fudge Striped Shortbread Cookies
CVS Fudge Striped Shortbread Cookies are modeled after the Keebler Fudged Stripes cookies. Not only do the cookies sold under the CVS Pharmacy name look identical to the national brand, but they also taste just as good! The fudge is rich and tasty and the shortbread cookie leaves a …
Mrs. Dash Italian Medley Salt-Free Seasoning Blend
I enjoy these seasoning blends because they have a lot flavor to them and don’t contain any sodium, which I think my diet could certainly use much less of. This Italian-style variety has a nice, pleasant, slightly sweet and slightly spicy scent and flavor that seems to me like …
Nonni’s Triple Cioccolati Biscotti
I recently tasted Nonni’s Triple Cioccolati Biscotti and I have to say it’s very good. First of all, I like the way they packaged it; it looks very classy and tempting, and is definitely a delicious and sinful complement to coffee, although it is also good to eat …
Kellogg’s Special K Bars: Strawberry
What a delicious and nutritious snack these strawberry bars make! The strawberry flavor is incredibly rich and the flavor never fails to excite my taste buds! These bars are perfect for a midday snack - or anytime of the day really! I sometimes will even have a bar with …
Diet Barq’s Root Beer
Barq’s hast bite. So goes the slogan for Barq’s root beer and one that is quite true. It has a much more pungent flavor than the other root beers on the market (such as A&W or Hires). Diet Barq’s tries to keep the bite even in …
Oscar Mayer Cheese Hotdogs
Oscar Mayer Cheese Hotdogs are a little costly, but they are very good. I don’t know how it is done, but each hotdog is filled with thick cheese sauce that comes out when you bite into it. The mix of hotdog and melted cheese tastes great; there is just …
Butterfinger Candy Eggs
I really love the Butterfingers candy bars, even though the crunchy parts tend to get caught in my teeth. I don’t get them a lot, but every now and then I get a craving for one. For Easter Nestle decided to make Butterfingers in a small egg shape.
I …
Macadamia Sansrival
When our local daily newspaper came out with a list of 25 of the best desserts in the Philippines, we kept it aside for the holidays. Traditionally, dessert is our family’s highlight and we wanted to serve the best we could buy to make our celebration a little bit …

3 Muskateers Candy Bar
A big favorite in my household, both as a child and as an adult, has been the 3 Muskateers Candy Bar. This is a light, fluffy candy treat, one that is whipped up to perfection much of the time. It’s milk chocolate on chocolate, and that equals …
Stouffer’s Vegetable Lasagna
Stouffer’s Vegetable Lasagna is an enjoyable change of pace from the meat and cheese lasagna variety. Now, I like cheese, and I do like meat, but I do not mind having something a little different every now and then. Plus, there is still some cheese to be found on …
Tesco Garlic Salt
This product from the seasoning and spices range at Tesco is a welcome addition to any spice rack. It’s a garlic powder/salt type of thing, so doesn’t have the potency of a fresh alternative or the flavour of a paste, but for the money, it’s a good alternative that’ll …
Romania Country Bread, Steveston
Bakeries always smell wonderful, all of them; the good ones usually have a great variety of baked goods, and some even have delicatessens. In the picturesque town of Steveston, in Richmond, B.C. where you can buy fish from the fishing boats moored in the harbour, there are many small …
Fita Biscuits
I love to have afternoon snacks. I also like to eat small frequent foods. One of my favorites would be crackers. That is why if I am not munching on Sky Flakes, I would definitely get a pack of Fita biscuits instead. A pack of Fita costs around $1 …
D Gourmet Herbal Tea Mint 24 g
Another reason I trust the D Gourmet brand, this herbal tea is excellent, in fact the best tea I ever had. I was glad I picked the mint type at the store.
Being a green tea fanatic, it’s amazing that reason prevailed over me to try a different one …
Lean Cuisine Philly-Style Steak and Cheese Panini
I couldn’t resist trying this frozen panini when I saw it in the supermarket. I’ve never had an actual Philly cheese steak, but I’ve always wanted to try one, and I thought this might be the closest I could come for a while.
