The other day I got really thirsty and stopped by the convenience store to pick up a drink. I wasn’t in the mood for a soda so I decided to try Lipton PureLeaf Raspberry Iced Tea. I usually don’t drink bottled tea but I decided I would …

I don’t like thin crust pizzaz, so when I saw something called Naturally Rising Pizza at our grocery store, I immediately wanted to check it out. “Naturally Rising” promised good, soft, “bready” crust. It is a KRAFT product, and there were several varieties of it available. The one I …

I used to eat this cereal quite often. I liked the sweet flavor and the crunchy qualities that it had. Now though, I hardly eat it and only eat it if it comes in an assortment or variety pack that I order. The reason is it is high on …

Although not always true, the old expression that a person gets what he or she pays for is sometimes true. This spaghetti sauce cost just eighty-eight cents and it’s cheaper than pretty much every other spaghetti sauce sold down the pasta aisle. For eighty-eight cents, one sure doesn’t get …

In particular, when buying a sandwich, …

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. …

Babies can be sometimes choosy when it comes to the meal you prepared for them. I know, because I once became a baby sitter for my 8 months old cousin. It was just for a day though, and I must say that my baby sitting went well. I am …

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 recently had a chance to try this product when we used it as part of dinner last night.
Normally, I am not a big fan of canned or jarred pasta sauces; mostly because the majority of them lack anything in terms of flavor. And, to be perfectly honest, I …

I tried Silk Soy Creamer French Vanilla one day when catching it on sale at Kroger. I am a fan of silk’s products. Every product that I have tried from them I have enjoyed thoroughly and brought again and again. Silk is that brand that I would call an …

These new cigarettes went on sale last week in my hometown for $20 a carton. Normally, I don’t smoke menthols except on occasion but I couldn’t resist the price. For less than $3 a pack though, they are well worth the price.
They are shorter than regular smokes, but not …

Blue Bunny Double Fudge Bars is an alright treat that I am sure chocolate lovers will like, but I personally find simply satisfactory. The reason I find these fudge bars to be only satisfactory is because, for one thing, I am not all that crazy about fudge. I do …

Stouffer’s Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken is a meal that I moderately enjoyed. This meal most definitely has quite a strong lemon flavor to it, courtesy of the lemon pepper sauce. The lemon goes quite well with the grilled chicken. I found the grilled chicken to be relatively tender and …

New York Style - Panetini Three Cheese are small, tasty pieces of toast. The toast is pleasantly crispy and crunchy, and sort of reminds me of croutons. The toast is flavored with three different cheeses: Parmesan, Romano and cheddar cheeses. These three cheeses come together to create a rather …

I love Orville Redenbacher’s and I love new gimmicks when it comes to snack foods so I didn’t need any convincing to try the new Pop Up microwavable bowls that came out last year. I was turned on by the thought of less clean up and I thought it …
