Fish sticks seemed like …

Everyone assumes diabetics don’t get to eat candy. According to most nutrition specialists, none of us should be eating much candy. Well I found Russell Stover candy. It doesn’t have that diet tanginess we all hate. These pecan delights are scrumptious. No, you cannot …

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.

Before you dive into the rest of this article gentle reader, I have a confession to make.
I recently committed heresy, well a form of heresy for Southeast Texas anyway. If you couldn’t tell from the title, I bought FROZEN Mexican food! I know, I know *blushes* for shame, for …

This breakfast syrup product is definitely not worth trying. I bought some by mistake because the label on front had a sticker on it that hid the word “Lite”. I had been buying the company’s (Pinnacle foods group) regular County Kitchens syrup for some time and was happy with …

I came upon this bread about a month ago. I’d purchased Aldi branded breads in the past, including their 12-grain bread, but hadn’t seen the whole grain white before. I have to tell you, it’s really quite good.
You can’t beat Aldi’s prices on bread, first of all. …

Cedarlane Low Fat Garden Vegetable Lasagna is not a frozen dinner that I consider to be above average and for that reason, I will not be purchasing it again. After all the frozen dinners that I have tried over the years, I have developed a list of frozen dishes …

I was suffering from a dry cough until my Supervisor at work gave me Halls to lessen the itchiness on my throat. She said mint flavor candy like Halls can lessen the irritation and itchiness and can make your throat feel refresh because of the mint. It did. In …

Trail mix isn’t something that I can find reasonably priced, and really, I don’t know if $1.00 for a 7 ounce bag at the “Dollar Tree” is even worth the money, but I do know that I enjoy this tropical mix and that every package I purchase disappears relatively …

Baileys is definitely my drink of choice and I love the majority of new flavours which are available now. I have recently however sampled the Biscotti flavour and must say I’m not completely impressed with it, the flavour seeming extremely harsh compared to other Baileys and spoiling the …

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 …

I’ve tried, oddly enough, quite a few different kinds of instant mashed potatoes. Maybe I’m just lazy? At any rate, these ones are, obviously, quite easy to make, because just like all the others, all you have to do is add hot water. You don’t even have to heat …

I am a BIG fan of Naked juices. They are, by far, the best fruit juices on the market. I drink at least two a day and have tried every kind they have. They are all natural and contain no preservatives and, unlike many of the …

Tai Pei Chicken Fried Rice is, quite frankly, terrible. Everything about this meal is incredibly mushy and, well flavorless. About all I tasted was salt and peas. This meal is positively loaded with salt, so if you are watching your sodium intake, watch out for this meal! The chicken …

It is my mother-in-law’s birthday and so my husband told me to buy her mom something which doesn’t have to be expensive as our simple present and so I chose to buy this Surprise Cake from Max’s Bakeshop.

After buying expensive brand names for a few months, we …
