Let’s face it, when it comes to breakfast pastries the crescent has it in the bag. There is just something about how flimsy it is and the flakiness you get when you break it in half. Pillsbury is the only brand I’ll buy when it comes to crescents and …

I purchased this brownie mix for $3.15 at my local grocery store Friday night. We were entertaining guests and rather than spending close to $6.00 for the already made up brownies I decided it would be thriftier (And homier I might add.) to just make my own. As soon …

When Dr.Pepper released this new flavor, i was pretty excited. …

Krusteaz: Buttermilk Waffles are alright, although certainly nothing overly spectacular or memorable. They are basically square Eggo waffles really. In terms of taste, they are pretty much identical to the Eggo waffles. They work out to being about equal in size, too. I did enjoy them, but I did …

I bought this oatmeal in a dollar store. After all, it was just oatmeal, right? I mean, how bad can instant oatmeal be?
Well, I found out. Oatmeal can be very, very bad. It can taste pretty much like paste. Like very bad paste. Mind you, I never was …

Entenmann’s Little Bites 100 Calorie Chocolate Chip Muffins turned out to be a disappointment. I thought that perhaps these chocolate chip muffins would be a little more moist than the regular calorie counterpart, but these turned out to be just as dry. I do not like dry muffins because …

Pancakes and waffles really do have good and similar tastes. They’re best eaten while still hot. Here in our country, pancakes are more popular as “hotcakes”. They’re good for breakfast and snacks. In my case, I don’t know how to make home-made pancakes so I usually …

I love teas! I guess there is no one that has ever tasted almost all tea variants in the whole of metro manila as me. I love teas, red tea, green tea, korean ginseng teas (not as much as i like green teas) and i also love Milk teas! …

I found Euro Shopper Corn Flakes in my local convenience store and, although I did not have much faith in them being equalled to Kellogg’s in quality, I bought them anyway as there was no other choice. These were very cheap at only 79 pence for a 375g …
