Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter
I grew up on a farm and am a master gardener so I try out new garden stuff all the time. I have found a miracle for tomatoes. The Topsy Turvy tomato planter is the absolute best device I have ever found and been able to copy …
Vermont Nut Free Maple Cremes
Christmas time is when my friends and family scattered around the world start sending me candy to share at the holidays. I have a lot of friends living in different parts of the US and since they know how much I love candy, they’re always trying to send me …
Sun Chips Harvest Cheddar
I first tried these chips a few years ago because they are healthier for you than any other chip because they are made of whole grain, which I found to be very interesting. And also because they sounded like they would taste really good. I also tried …
Kraft Honey Barbeque Sauce
When it comes to cookouts, for me, there is nothing better than a good bottle of Kraft honey barbeque sauce somewhere close to me. Even though it’s probably intended for cooking (but not limited to), I prefer to use it as a dipping sauce and for cooking.
The design of …
Rebisco Hansel Crackers 12 pieces
I wanted something that can ease my hunger every afternoon. When I bought my lunch a while ago, I saw the shelves of Hansel in the store so I decided to buy one pack. I had known Hansel even before but that is with Mocca filling and it smells …
Little Debbie Boston Creme Rolls
Wow oh wow are these Little Debbie Boston Creme Rolls deliciously tasty! Everything about these rolls I find simply scrumptious and Little Debbie did a simply superb job of recreating the flavor and texture of the original Boston creme roll, from the rich and flavorful creme to the wonderfully …
McVities Jaffa Cakes
Good old McVities Jaffa Cakes were around when I was a girl and they do not seem to have changed at all. I looked them up on the internet out of interest and they have actually been around since 1927 which shows what a winning formula they are …
Casa Mamita Mexican Style Lasagna
Casa Mamita Mexican Style Lasagna is a frozen lasagna carried at ALDI Food Market stores. It costs seven dollars and ninety-nine cents and is big enough to feed four people. I was intrigued by this frozen lasagna when I came across it in the refrigerated case because I had …
Great Value Asiago Cheese and Roasted Vegetable Snack Crackers
I enjoy snacking on these crackers because they combine two things that I like to put in my mouth: cheese and peppers. The crackers themselves have a roasted pepper flavor to them that’s scrumptious and the crackers are coated with asiago cheese, giving the exterior of the cracker a …
Power Crunch French Vanilla Creme Filled Wafer Cookie
This wafer bar cookie is crispy and tasty. It really is like a wafer cookie, just in bar-form. It’s also more like a cookie than a protein bar for a couple of reasons. The first reason is because it’s not hard and chalky and odd tasting like some other …
Starbucks Doubleshot Energy Drinks in White Chocolate
I can’t say that I am a huge Starbucks fan. It isn’t that they have bad coffee, but rather than there are so many choices and they are just a little too expensive for me to justify frequenting their cafes on a regular basis. However, there are times when …
Dillman Farm - Natural Peanut Butter
Dillman Farm - Natural Peanut Butter is quite creamy, tasty and, well, expensive. This peanut butter costs more than pretty much any peanut butter I have seen sold in the grocery stores. For a seventeen ounce jar, I have to pay almost seven dollars! That is quite a lot …
Cadburys Flake Chocolate bar
Cadburys do make the most delicious chocolate and this is one of my favourites. It comes in a lovely yellow wrapper but you must be careful when you open it. Due to the fact that the chocolate is very brittle and flaky where its name comes from it is …
Hamburger Helper in Stroganoff
I have bought many Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper products over the years, but the worse one I ever encountered was the Stroganoff. In a hurry to make a quick dinner a few nights ago, I picked up this Stroganoff mixture at my local supermarket for just $1.99CDN.
The mixture on …
Nestea Vitao green tea with lemon
I like green tea very much but not the one you can make for yourself from tea bags because that one never tastes good, it is just too bitter and if you put a lot of sugar it becomes very sweet but still has that bitter after taste. I …
Home Maker Premium Florida Squeeze Orange Juice
There are many squeezed orange juices I had tried. The most popular is Tropicana Minute Maid Pulp Orange juice. Despite being delicious, orange juice is healthy as long as it has no artificial ingredients. One time I visited the house of my former Supervisor at Quezon City Philippines and …
Vitasoy Melon-Flavoured Soy Drink
I wan on my way to work, but really needed a small snack. I have been rather dehydrated these days. So I grabbed a bun and searched for a drink in the refrigerator of 7-Eleven store.
I thought that I lacked calcium, so I took a soy drink. The vitasoy …
Tyson Chicken Breast
Tyson has some of the best chicken breasts on the market. They are always cut in to even pieces and each one is a fair portion. They even seem a little large to some but their chicken is low calorie and full of good vitamins. What makes them great …
Chef Boyardee Lasagna (Can)
I am not one that eats much of the selections made by Chef Boyardee that comes in a can such as their Spaghetti O’s, Ravioli’s, and their other choices, however I was hungry one afternoon last week and came across this can of lasagna I bought for my children. …
Fountain Hot Chilli Sauce
As someone who absolutely loves hot and spicy flavoured food, I find that Fountain Hot Chilli Sauce is the perfect addition to many of my meals. It’s a favourite in my household and I’ve been using it for many years now. At only AU $2.57 for a …
YMA Apple Cinnamon Flavored Water
I miss drinking YMA Apple Cinnamon Flavored Water. It is not that it has been discontinued - I could still easily purchase this water if I so desired, and I do, but I have to control that desire and work to stifle it because this water is, quite unfortunately, …
Socials Whole Wheat crackers
I usually don’t like whole wheat food but I love these crackers. They are so good with sharp cheese. They are also good to just eat a lone. At least I think so. I like them a lot better than regular crackers. They just taste better with sharp cheese. …
Kentucky Fried Chicken Double Down Sandwich
For supper tonight I decided to try the new KFC Double Down Sandwich. It was surprisingly pretty good! I’m not a big bread eater , so I didn’t miss that part of it at all.
The double down is a very unique sandwich. It is 2 crispy boneless chicken filets …
Hunt’s Chunky Vegetable Spaghetti Sauce
I was not particularly wowed by “Hunt’s Chunky Vegetable Spaghetti Sauce” and actually, I was rather disappointed when I took a taste of this spaghetti sauce along with my pasta. I must say, I don’t quite know where they got “chunky” from, because I didn’t see any chunky …
Wyler’s Light Singles to go - Iced Tea with Peach
I was looking for a sugar free drink mix, Wyler’s has made just the right one for me. Since I enjoy iced tea so much, especially peach tea, I decided to try Wyler’s Singles to go, Iced Tea with Peach.
I really like the flavor, the convenience, and the …
Chef’s Cupboard Brand Apple Walnut Rice Stuffing
Product Description: Box of rice stuffing with an apple and walnut flavor. My wife found this at our local Aldi grocery store and paid about $1.50 for it a couple weeks ago. We made this last night to go with dinner.
What I liked about this product: The rice was …
Pizza Hut Lasagna
Friday night, I decided to surprise my wife by ordering from Pizza Hut for delivery (it arrived a few minutes after I got home). Since we aren’t big fans of their pizza, I ended up ordering some of their pasta instead; including their lasagna.
It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t …
Spaans Sugar Free Almond Crescents Cookies
Hooray! It is at last, the Christmas/Holiday season again, which means —˜tis the season for my favorite kinds of stuff to look at Christmas cookies and desserts! I can’t wait for this time of year and it’s finally here! If you’ve read my pieces from last year, you know …
Mukti Gold Instant Ginger Tea Pre-Mix
I love all sorts of tea and I’m always glad to discover new ones that I can try. I also like ginger, in any form. So, as you would guess, I am quite partial to ginger tea. But little did I know that there are so …
Moccona Espresso
I am very fussy about my coffee. Not too strong, not too weak, but just right and Moccona Espresso certainly delivers the goods.
Most coffee tastes bitter to me and leaves an after taste that I find unpleasant, but not Moccona Espresso.
It is a mild, pleasant tasting coffee that …
Annie Chun’s Miso Soup Bowl
I am a big Chinese and Japanese food fan I especially enjoy a good miso soup. That is why when I saw this at the grocery store I knew that I had to buy it. I paid a little over $2.00 for it which was not too bad and …
Compliments Sensations Cranberry & Orange Zest Biscotti
I have always been a huge fan of the Compliments brand of food products at my local grocery store. Recently Compliments has expanded its line to include a select group of gourmet products under the Sensations line, including Cranberry & Orange Zest Biscotti.
I didn’t even know that Biscotti was …
Pasta Roni Shells and White Cheddar
I do not think I have ever tasted worse macaroni and cheese than the boxed Pasta Roni Shells and White Cheddar. This stuff is positively terrible in both taste and texture. Let me first start with the texture because that is something that really made me just want to …
Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles
I first saw Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles when I had went on vacation to the USA and there in one of the grocery stores. There were these relatively medium sized packages with a very rich and vibrant red colour with a clear plastic area that let’s you see …
Kroger - Red Raspberry
The red raspberry pie made at Kroger and found in the Kroger bakery is a pie that I likely will not purchase again. Normally, I really enjoy the pies that are made at Kroger because, among other reasons, they taste good. However, when it comes to this particular pie …
Starbuck’s Green Tea Frappe
Actually, this is my favorite drink.. and this is the only drink that I always order at Starbucks. Well, Frankly speaking, I am not a big fan of Starbucks because some of their products are over priced and what they are selling are just all usual to our taste …
Family Pantry Toaster Pastries
We bought a box of toaster pastries from the brand Family Pantry the other day and have been having them for breakfast the past two days. I have to say, they are some of the crappiest toaster pastries we have ever had.
These, of course, are a generic version of …
Cloverhill Bakery - Lemon Long John Cake
The Cloverhill Bakery - Lemon Long John Cake is something that I found to be mildly satisfying. The reason I use the word mild is simply because I feel this cake could have been better, but I cannot say I was overly disappointed in because I did enjoy it. …
Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Birthday Party
Despite all the colors and flashy decorations found in and on Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Birthday Party, there is really not a whole lot to celebrate about this ice cream. The ice cream carries roughly the same flavor as a white cake, so there is very little flavor …
Japanese Mochi Crème mochi balls
I had the chance to taste mochi balls (locally made) at the SM mall in Davao city. A poster caught my eye and it says Japanese Mochi Crème mochi balls. Mochi balls are made of glutinous rice (or a sticky goeey substance) and is filled with ice cream. I …
Checkers on Hollywood Blvd Hollywood, Florida
I really enjoy eating at Checkers in my hometown of Pembroke Pines, but when me and my Mother went to the one in Hollywood, Florida. We had worse service than we have ever had with any of the people who work at the one in Pembroke Pines. First I …
Breyers Chocolate
Breyers Chocolate ice cream is certainly not the most enjoyable chocolate ice cream that I have ever had in my life, but I did not have any real trouble finishing the ice cream. The chocolate certainly had a natural and authentic flavor to it, but it was not as …
Mini Airheads candy
I’ve always been a big fan of the Airheads line of candy. These bars are similar to taffy, very sweet and a little sticky but with a good chew. I’ve always seen them in the big form, either individually or in a package of mixed flavors. I usually grab …
Anlene High-Calcium Low Fat Milk Concentrate
Anlene is a range of milk products which is meant to resolve the common bone nutrients deficiencies found in most adults. When Anlene was first advertised on TV, I actually did not pay much attention. I was thinking it was just the same as the many high-calcium …
Honey and cinnamon Pancakes
One of Kurt’s favourite dishes are pancakes and we make these on a regular basis. My wife and I take it in turns so he knows that mummy’s and daddies are both good in the kitchen.
The recipe that we use is very simple and was Lyndsey’s Grandmothers recipe …
Nestle Kokoo Crunch
Nestle Koko Krunch has been the most loved cereal by my family. I do love eating this for it satisfies my desire for a chocolately and yet fibrous and healthy meal for myself and my family.
My son was only four years old when this product was introduced I think …
Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton
If I feel hungry and there’s no time to cook, Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton is the way to go. It’s very easy to cook and gives you an instant fill when you’re on the go.
I Have tried other instant pancit cantons in the market but this …
Samurai Takoyaki Balls
Samurai is another type of restaurant or food stall that has been around the country for years now. I remember buying the famous Takoyaki balls they offer and I loving it when I was a kid. I really did enjoy the fried Squid flavored balls topped with sweet and …
Splenda
When products are flavored with Splenda, I acutally do enjoy them. They generally do not have that infamous diet taste, but rather closely resemble products that are made with regular sugar. I have found that the benefit of Splenda is that it obtains far less calories, and …
Lucky Choco Chocolate
As I mentioned in a previous review, my favourite types and brands of chocolates and sweets are those that I do not think are sickeningly sweet. This, a part from the price of it, was one of the things that attracted me to buying “Lucky Choco Chocolates”. These are …
