St. Dalfour is known for its high quality of jams, preserves, packaged meals and teas. I only recently discovered their teas, and I am glad I did. I have yet to find tea that is of the same high quality as this brand.
I really like that this tea offers …

This is a kind of fancy organic French tea that normally I probably wouldn’t buy, because I don’t like to spend a lot of money on tea. However, ever since I first tasted this brand, and this flavor in particular, I became a huge fan.
One of the things that …

Many people who are serious coffee devotees shun instant coffee. And for the longest time, I understood why. However, when I purchased this store brand of instant coffee for the first time to use in a recipe, I wasn’t sure what else to do with it besides trying to …

Since I’m picky about my cream soups, I’ve realized they can either be great or awful. Some of them have sugar or corn syrup in them, which I hate, and some of them don’t have the right kind of seasoning. With the right seasoning, I think a cream soup …

I was in the mood for a really great, fattening, indulgent pizza. When I found this bacon cheeseburger pizza, I knew it was just what I was craving.
I like pizzas that have lots of toppings and things on them, and I really like innovative kinds of pizzas. So bacon …

When I want to buy cheap and satisfying food, I still think that nothing beats ramen. I like to eat it by itself or by enhancing it with other ingredients. One of my favorite ways to make it is to separate the noodles from the broth and add stir-fry …

I remember ramen from my college days. Even now if I want to save money on groceries I will pick some up for a quick and inexpensive meal. I know it’s not high-quality food, but I do really like ramen for the taste and the ease with which I …

I’m becoming something of a connoisseur of these birthday cake and cake batter ice creams since I’ve tried so many. To date, the one made by regional chain Meijer is the worst that I have tasted.
Like some other birthday cake ice creams, Meijer’s version has a vanilla ice cream …

I was interested in this ice cream, since I’m always curious about new flavors of my favorite dessert. I was curious about how Meijer could make a cotton candy-flavored ice cream.
I have to admit I wasn’t really expecting a whole lot from this ice cream. I knew it wouldn’t, …

For those who don’t know what stone ground mustard is, it’s a kind of mustard that is made with whole or crushed mustard seeds and mixed with vinegar and spices. The end result is a very strong, spicy, and sometimes very hot mustard. It tends to have a dark, …

I was intrigued by this cake batter ice cream and very curious about what it would taste like. It was released in 2008 as part of Ben and Jerry’s 30th “birthday” celebration (more like an anniversary, really).
Lately, I’ve become very interested in these ice creams whose flavors are actually …

I always thought that Edy’s ice creams were good. When I saw that they had frozen yogurt, I was curious about these products. I ended up trying their vanilla flavor. I love frozen yogurt but I personally rarely see it in grocery stores, so I don’t often have access …

I’ve had this ice cream a few times, and I really do like it. Before I purchased it I didn’t really know much about it, though a co-worker of mine recommended it and said it was really great.
I like that the ice cream has a really festive appearance, with …

I am a major fan of tea and I love trying new varieties of this beverage. Whenever I see a new variety I have to get my hands on it! When I saw this variety of green tea made with peach and mangosteen flavorings, hence the “superfruit” label, I …

Banquet has recently started offering frozen dessert pies in addition to their frozen meals and frozen pot pies. I’m always interested in dessert, especially at the low prices that Banquet offers, so I bought their Cherry Berry Pie once I saw it in the store.
You can either microwave this …

This item is a somewhat unique take on chili, substituting chicken for the ground beef. I have always liked chicken chili, so when I saw it in the store I picked it up.
I was expecting this chili to be a little different than it was. I was thinking the …

Minestrone soup can either be wonderful or awful; rarely have I run into minestrone soup that didn’t fit into one of these categories. Usually, I find minestrone is wonderful and I’m always up for trying new varieties to see what kinds of things people do with it.
When I bought …

Lentil soup can be a comforting and delicious kind of soup. If it’s made right, it can be delectable. I usually love lentil soup, so when I found this canned soup at Trader Joe’s, I decided to try it. Trader Joe’s has a reputation for making good and wholesome …

I really wanted to like these cheese enchiladas. They looked so yummy and I generally really like frozen Mexican food. Unfortunately, I really wasn’t that impressed with them.
This nearly 10 ounce package provides two cheese enchiladas in a microwaveable container. However, the microwaving instructions were confusing. They tell you …

I really like flavored coffees when it’s not obvious they’re made with artificial flavors. I think some of these coffees do better than others in that department. Now, in the past, I have really enjoyed hazelnut coffee, so when I saw that Nescafe made a hazelnut version, I had …

I love hummus. I might even be something of a hummus connoisseur, I’ve eaten so much and so many different kinds. When I saw that my local Trader Joe’s had their own hummus, I just had to try some.
I really like creamy hummus. The creamier, the better, in my …

I’m probably a rarity in that I actually like instant coffee. I don’t have a coffee maker, so if I want coffee I have to use instant. I think that non-instant coffee is certainly better than instant, but in a pinch instant will definitely do.
I liked that this instant …

I was looking for a soft spreadable cheese to use in some kind of dip, and I happened upon this cheese at Trader Joe’s. Normally I’m not really a fan of these soft spreadable cheeses because they remind me too much of cream cheese which I don’t like, but …

While I was grocery shopping last week, I came across Frito-Lay’s Flaming Hot Funyuns which are onion-flavored rings in the flaming hot variant. As I have never tasted Funyuns before and it looked so enticing in its packaging, I decided to give it a try. At P104.95 …

I’ve been looking for some other alternative to the instant noodle packs I’m used to buying for emergency food. What used to cost Php5 per pack of instant noodles is now more than Php8. It’s not that much really but if you’re trying to live on a budget, …

For the past years, Marks & Spencer has been coming up with cakes and pastries that just seem to lure you when you look at their displays. I finally decided to try out the Cappuccino Chocolate Sponge Roll. It cost Php215 per box.
It came in a sturdy, …

I went grocery shopping the other day at S&R and saw amongst the extensive displays of chocolate the mint chocolate flavored M&Ms. As it was in a very festive green packaging with a female M&M Santa in the North pole, it caught my eye. Add the fact that …

Something that we usually get for everyones birthday in my family is a Carvel Brand Ice cream cake. It’s been a tradition for over 10 years and my family just loves the cakes that they make. I’m not a big fan of ice cream and I only eat …

Plain, salted peanuts are boring. Thus, when making trail mix, companies generally add raisins and M&Ms, to sweeten the healthy snack. The inventors of P-Nuttles went a step further. They coated their peanuts with butter and toffee. Unfortunately, this delectable snack is not sold anywhere in the United States. …

When I first saw the Noel Dux Original Crackers snack one day, the first thing that came to my mind was a particular snack called “Club Social” that used to be popular when I was much younger in the nineties, because the packaging looked similar. However, it was only …
