This hot chocolate is definently one of my favorites out there to get for a warm winter treat, it is actually a little bit better then Starbuck’s hot chocolate in my opinion. They offer you either kind of milk- Skim or regular and I have tasted it with either …

It’s no secret that microwavable popcorn is just not as good as the popcorn that’s served at theaters. It doesn’t matter whether or not a microwavable popcorn claims to offer the same flavor as theater popcorn because it simply doesn’t. I don’t think it does, anyway. This popcorn from …

I’ve long used and enjoyed Arrowhead water, but only recently tried Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water - Eco-Shape Bottles. I’ve seen this new plastic design advertised on TV and promoted on the internet. The idea is that it uses 30% less plastic by having an indent 2/3 of …

For the first time ever, I recently tried Nathan Dinner Beef Franks. I’ve seen them for years, but this was the first time I’d purchased them. These are definitely big franks, being one-quarter pound each. There’s only four in the regular package as a result, and …

I’m always on the look out for new sweet treats to try. We decided to forgo trick or treating for our little one this year and decided simply to buy her candy instead, but we wanted to find something a little bit different, and what I discovered a Marshmallow …

Recently, 7-11 announced a new Slurpee flavor, and being the addict that I am, I had to check it out. The concept is that the icy treat itself is purple but the flavor is that of vanilla — or more specifically vanilla creme. My review of the …

Back in the day, a Sugar Daddy was one of the kings of the candy market. He was followed by the Sugar Momma and eventually a smaller Sugar Baby. We adored these candy treats. My mother had a huge affection for Sugar Daddy bars. I …

I’ve been using Great Value Beef Patties for my homemade burgers, and I am very satisfied with them. 12 frozen, ready-to-cook patties come in a re-sealable plastic bag. Unlike some other brands, the patties are not tightly frozen together, so you don’t have to struggle trying to break them …

I’m a big chocolate lover and one of my favorite chocolates are by Dove. I also enjoy peanut butter candies but it’s often a hit or miss with me because I find many peanut butter chocolate candies to be either too sweet or too salty. There’s rarely been one …

Sam’s Choice Belgian Dark Chocolate, sold at WalMart, comes neatly packaged in a silvery colored box, which makes it look finer than just a regular chocolate bar. It is made with 70% of cocoa, according to the box. The bar itself is rather thin, divided into large (approximately 1 …

One day, while “chewing the fat” with a fellow employee at work, I was told about a wonderful seasoning enhancer named Accents. I hadn’t heard a thing about it, and my co-worker was extremely surprised- to say the least. She told me that she’d bring me a little in …

Clancy’s Potato Skins Bacon & Cheddar comes in an five point five ounce bag for ninety-nine cents. I was hesitant at first to even buy a couple of bags for snacking purposes on New Year’s Eve, but I ultimately decided on picking up three bags because I couldn’t find …

We were in a bit of a hurry at dinner time last night because we had to eat before going to an open house at our daughter’s school. We ended up making chicken and, to go with it, stuffing from the brand Chef’s Cupboard.
I have had the Chef’s Cupboard …

My family loves this bread. I would prefer that we buy brown bread over white for all the obvious nutritional and health reasons. However, our kids just don’t like brown bread. Our teenager, in fact, won’t eat brown bread at all even if there is no …

Marie Callender’s Scalloped Potatoes & Ham was simply awesome. This is one of Marie Callender’s new varieties of frozen foods. I’ve been so happy to see new choices out there. It’s actually made me excited to have more choice.
I eat a lot of frozen foods and …

I personally can’t taste a whole lot more butter on this variety of popcorn compared to the “Butter” variety, also made by Pop Weaver. I can certainly feel it on my fingers, but I can’t quite taste the extra butter once the popcorn leaves my hand and enters my …

After an afternoon lunch in a local restaurant, I found my self wanting and eager to taste Selecta Buco Salad Ice Cream on a Stick. I feel like nourishing the child within me as I feel like a kid again excited to eat ice cream or licking a lollipop.
I …

With all the frozen varieties of Marie Callender’s that I’ve purchased over the years, I have never chosen one that has a pork chop in it. I love pork chops, but for some reason, I haven’t purchased them in any frozen capacity. However, I’ve been doing a …

Luna Fiber Chocolate Raspberry bars is a product that I decided to breakout when a strong hunger panged in my stomach. They were the only thing I had left out of my other assortments of snacks and lunch wasn’t for another two hours. So to say I …

We bought a bottle of Old Glory Red Table Wine at our local Fox Valley Winery. The standard, 750 ml bottle was priced a little over $13. We had tasted the wine before, so we knew what to expect when we opened the bottle at home for a nice …

They say that it’s never too late to start making improvements in your health and that is why I decided to start drinking green tea. Another brand I tried resulted in causing me severe stomach problems, because it smelled and tasted awful. I decided to switch to …

I thought that this convenient, healthful entree would be great for those times when I don’t want to cook, but it turned out to be a mushy mess with a bland, icky flavor.

Beef steak and peppers usually comes on a bed of rice, but Hormel …

The first time I bought these granola bars, I was with a friend who told me they were the best thing on the planet. best thing- probably not, but they are pretty good.
I usually leave for work in the morning in a rush, I keep a box of …

Had I not tried the all-natural vanilla and French vanilla flavors first, I think I would have considered this variety to be my favorite vanilla ice cream. Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Homemade Vanilla is a delicious ice cream, but unfortunately, is is neither as rich in vanilla flavor …

I recently decided to try Chef Boyardee’s new Macaroni and Cheese. From the packaging, which is a 7.5 ounce bowl that you can put in the microwave, it looked like an exciting and tasty mini-meal. And of course, the word “New!” probably also attracted me to it. …

I have never tasted any Valsoia product and I must say right now that I really regret trying it this time. Valsoia is an Italian brand that makes vegetable products and that means with less or no cholesterol, they are mostly made of soy milk and similar soy derivatives. …

Dieting has come a long way in recent years in offering great tasting foods with few calories. One fad that has been catching on and gaining momentum is the portion controlled way of dieting. Basically, you’re eating real food that tastes great but you’re just limiting yourself to regular …

Although Mrs. Freshley’s Easter: Cottontail Snowballs are only around for about one month of the year, I find that to be okay because there is nothing special about these snowballs. I can purchase snowballs at any time of the year and they are pretty much identical to these. The …

Stouffer’s Cheesy Spaghetti Bake disappointed me because I really enjoy cheese, and I expected this dinner to be quite cheesy and offer a rich cheese flavor. Unfortunately, this meal did not live up to my expectations. While I could certainly taste both the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, I did …

I first bought this brand of banana chips thinking that it was actually the brand “Nices.” Thinking about it now,the company who makes “Extra Nice Banana Chips” has a pretty good marketing strategy since their packaging and name is very very similar to “Nices Banana Chips.” However, it is …

Though I know that chips are not the healthiest snack, I tend to have them all of the time. I love trying different types of chips, but have a special liking for only a few. One chip that I really enjoy eating is the Doritos Salsa Verde tortilla chips. …

I gave this new kind of snack a try one day, when my sister urged me to try it. She told me they were the off brand version of Cheetos, which ultimately caused me to laugh. In my experience anything that isn’t the actual original Cheetos are either too …

While many have probably tried the drink Coke and Rum, fewer have tried Sprite and Rum, or Captain Morgans. This was the case for me, until I recently saw this combination and decided to try it. I was thoroughly impressed, and it is now my drink of choice. The …

Being a true-blue chocolate lover, I was excited to try this new flavor from Selecta’s ice cream selection. I bought the 800ml pint of Choco Almond Fudge for only approximately $2.80, and with that price it’s really not that expensive for something that 2 persons can share to, maybe …

Florida’s Natural Premium Cranberry Ruby Red Grapefruit Cocktail is a sweet juice that I like to purchase maybe three or four times a year, max. I’m not as crazy about cranberry juice as I’m about pure orange or grapefruit juice, but the cranberry juice does offer a nice change …

Albertsons corn flakes is so stale a product with pure corn flakes sealed in a package. The problem with the product is its same pure nature. First of all the taste is so bland that it never tickle any of my taste buds. Especially when it is intended to …

As soon as I heated one of these and took the first few bites, I knew that I had to warn other people. Whatever you do, do not buy this product! The entire can had only 3 chunks of meat in it and the bulk of the vegetables were …

I love a good hot dog now and then and I am always on the lookout for a new type to try. I recently had a coupon for a free package of any type of Oscar Mayer brand hot dogs so I decided to try the Oscar Mayer …

Ginger Ale is a great drink and it taste good. In some sort of way it is like other sodas but this one is more special and unique which is quite different from other drinks. It has a strong ginger taste to it and doesn’t have a lot of …

I’ve tried various Hormel Compleats meals over the past year and like some better than others. This is the first one I’ve tried, though, that is from their healthier line of foods. These are in green to stand out and have the ‘created for a healthy lifestyle’ …

Wow talk about waking up to a terrific smell. I really like the smell of Maxwell House dark roast coffee when it is brewing in the coffee pot. The entire house fills up with the wonderful aroma of Maxwell House dark roast coffee. I also like …

For me, coffee is essential to my daily living. I can’t start my day without it and my day is not complete without having any. So far, the best coffee that I ever tasted is from Panera Bread. I can still remember before I go to work and before …

I was admittedly hesitant to purchase a box of either General Mills Protein Cinnamon Almond Cheerios or General Mills Protein Oats and Honey Cheerios for a simple reason: I didn’t like how on the box, it stated the cereal contained eleven grams of protein, but there was a condition …

I am a devoted fan of hot chocolate, and I will drink it all year long no matter what the temperature is. And sure there are plenty of brands of instant hot chocolate packed away in paper packages that need nothing more than to just add water. However, ever …

I love potato salad and usually to get the perfect potato salad I would have to make it myself. I have only ever found one potato salad that can stand up to my recipe and it is the potato salad made by a man named Kirk who sells freshly …

For chocolate lovers, this is an excellent way to go about building up protein as well as some other vitamins and minerals! This protein bar tastes like a candy bar, but really, it is much healthier and more satisfying than any candy bar that I have ever tasted. These …

I drink a lot of juice. I’ve tried lots of different kinds, but one I generally like the best is the Sun-Rype Apple Vanilla Pear juice. It’s light, refreshing, and the taste is pretty good.
The significant part is the taste. It sort of like apple juice but with a …

I have enjoyed raisins both by themselves and mixed in with other ingredients and foods for years. The flavor and texture of a raisin has always been satisfying to me. I’ve tried cereals with raisins before, and while I’ve had some cereals that disappointed me either due to there …

After successful purchases and uses of Hormel Compleats Spaghetti and Meat Loaf varieties, I decided to try out their Salisbury Steak option.
Hormel Compleats - Salisbury Steak comes with sliced potatoes and gravy. My single complaint about this microwaveable meal is the gravy. There’s just too much of …
