Sunflower seeds, the perfect food for a sporting event, camping, boating… or in my case, passing time at work or keeping myself awake on a long drive. I’ve been a “David” brand guy all my life, but the other day I picked up a couple bags of “Spitz” to …

The first thing that struck me about this chocolate was the wrapping because it looks really great. There’s a picture of the chocolate on it but what’s so special is that this chocolate is half white and half brown, so I really couldn’t resist it. I am not a …

Haribo Starmix Mini’s are tiny plastic bags of various Haribo jelly sweets (candies). All the kids I know love them, and quite a few parents do too, even though they probably don’t want to. So there is some truth to the jingle “kids and grown-ups love it …

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 …

It is quite a shame that the El Monterey’s Shredded Steak & Cheese Chimichanga Supreme frozen burritos are not in the slightest bit spicy because I definitely like the overall flavor of these burritos. What I think I like best about these burritos is seasoned beef. It is not …

BeechNut Naturals: …

Stouffer’s Easy Express Cheese Manicotti makes for a fairly tasty meal! Admittedly, this meal is more about flavor than it is about being filling, but in the case of this food, I am okay with that because the flavor comes from cheese! Lots and lots of cheese! Cheese is …

I love oatmeal. It has so many health benefits that eating it is a plus. Oatmeal has whole grain, fiber and no cholesterol. When I was in Kroger, I notice the Quaker Instant Oatmeal Fruit & Cream. It comes in a multi-pack variety. The box …

I haven’t bought Lindt chocolate in a long time, but I always really liked it. And I’ve been aware that they’re introducing new flavors for a while now. I remember that a few years ago mixing chili and chocolate was sort of a hot thing. They even had chili …

Blue Bunny Double Strawberry Sedona Frozen Yogurt Granola Sandwiches are not quite as good as the Double Strawberry Aspenâ„¢ Frozen Yogurt Granola Bars. What makes me prefer the latter to the former? For one, these sandwiches do not have any vanilla where as the bars have a vanilla coating. …

I have two children so I am constantly looking for great buys that are cost efficient. Of course, my children have to like it too, or what’s the point. I finally tried Jif Creamy Peanut Butter; it was a two for one special.
Jif Creamy Peanut Butter is also …

I love spicy food and have enjoyed all the Jamaican food I have tried in the past and so I was pleased to spot this vegetable —˜pattie’ in the cooler section at Sainsubury’s. In your average supermarket there is not much on offer in the way of Jamaican …

We buy fudgsicles as a treat when they are on sale. Usually we can get a box of them for around three dollars. Each box contains eight Fudgsicles, so it is a fairly good price if you get them when there’s a special.
I love the fudgey taste of these …

One-hundred percent fruit juice isn’t always priced at what I consider to be an affordable amount of money. Without sales or coupons, juice that isn’t diluted with water generally runs for over three dollars. It’s for that reason that when I came across the Nature’s Nectar brand of mango …

Cedarlane Low Fat Garden Vegetable Enchiladas are great if you are looking for an alternative to the usual and somewhat unhealthy enchilada! Not only is this kind of enchilada loaded with nutritious vegetables, but it is also low in calories and fat, too, so there are two pluses right …

Having never purchased a bottle of anejo tequila -I’d only had it in mixed drinks before - I decided to give it a try recently. Anejos are known for richer flavors because they take the longest to age. Although I prefer reposado tequila, I really enjoyed this Herradura Anejo …

Because I don’t often drink coffee, I drink hot chocolate a lot. So we’ve been trying different hot chocolate mixes to keep in the kitchen so I can make a hot chocolate at home in the morning.
Since I like Rolo candies…and really, any combination involving caramel and chocolate, …

The Old London Bagel Spicy Cheddar Chips disappointed me quite a bit. I did not find these chips to be particularly spicy or rich with cheddar. I actually felt that these bagel chips were really quite bland and unimpressive. There was not a hint of spiciness in these bagel …

Just like …

I never could quite make out the difference between this cheese and the Kraft Parmesan and Romano blend. This cheese may have tasted a tad sweeter, but that I’m not even sure of. Asiago cheese must not be very strong in taste or aroma, at least, not when compared …

Once in a while, something different comes on the market and makes a bit of a splash. I suppose you could think of Google in the respect. It outshone the competition in a big way and none have ever quite come up to scratch ever since. Perhaps Champagne is …

Personally I’ve never really been interested in the OKF products. I’ve seen quite a lot of different juices made by this brand but the packaging always discouraged me because it looked cheap or expired. I’ve seen these products in both supermarkets and local stores so I don’t believe that …

If I had to, I don’t think I could choose between the cheese-flavored “stix” and the jalapeno-flavored “stix”, both made by Pringles. Both are really good and great to have just as a snack or with a sandwich in place of potato chips. This review is about the cheese-flavored …
