Little Debbie Easter Egg Brownies
Despite all the fancy and colorful coloring, these Little Debbie Easter Egg Brownies are really no different from Little Debbie’s other brownie products, like the fudge and cosmic varieties. The brownie is the same as is the flavor, essentially. The only difference pretty much is the colorful Easter design …
Sari Amaretto Arino
I love a good quality liqueur, with Disaronno being my absolute favourite and something I could drink every day. The problem is that Disaronno is expansive so not something I want to buy all the time, I decided to try other brands of Amaretto to bring down …
Sutter Home White Zifandel Wine
This is definitely not a fine wine, but it’s quite nice for it’s super low price! My boyfriend and I came across this brand in a gas station. He wanted beer and I wanted something, well, a little more classy… And on a student’s budget, even $6 bottles of …
Skinny Cow Fudge Bars
I am always on the lookout for a bargain, and I am always on the lookout for low calorie snacks! When I visited my local grocery store, and saw Skinny Cow Fudge Bars on sale for only $4Cdn for 7 bars, I bought them.
These bars are sweetened with Splenda …
Tastees Chicken Nuggets Combo meal
Up until recently I had no clue that the restaurant I sometimes buy from, “Tastees” had chicken nuggets, and much more, a chicken nugget combo meal. It was only recently when I visited it for a change that I noticed the “Tastees Chicken Nuggets Combo meal” on the board, …
Shurfine Premium Cake Mix
Having tried two (Devil’s Food and Yellow) Shurfine Premium cake mixes I am ready to say that they are an incredible value for the amazing taste that you get in your cake. While the directions are a little different calling for both oil and water where most cake mixes call …
Prego Italian Sauce Traditional (with recipe)
Firstly, I must say I really love those people who invented such ready-make sauces because it allow people like me who are not gifted in cooking to be able to whip up a decent dish!
Whenever I feel like cooking spaghetti, I will always go to the nearest supermarket and grab …
Borden brand cheese slices
Borden brand cheese slices comes in twenty-two different varieties. While I have only tried a select few, I can say this cheese really tastes good. Some processed cheese has a rubbery feeling and can leave a bad aftertaste. Not, Borden. This cheese is soft and …
Chick-fil-A Milkshakes
Although a milkshake is not a dessert that I seek out very often, it is one that I sometimes do like to have. When such a day comes around, I do not go to Chick-fil-A. I have tried several of the milkshake varieties that they offer, like the chocolate, …
Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer
Henry Weinhard’s Root Beer is something I get from time to time, but those are rare times, mostly because it just cost so darn much. This is considered a big time treat for me, and as a result, I really only buy the product once or twice a …
Dolmio Oven Roasted Vegetables Stir In Pasta Sauce
I had already tried the Dolmio Sweet Tomato & Chilli stir-in sauce and that was lovely so I thought I would try this other variety which is made of oven roasted vegetables. I have discovered that roasting vegetables is the best way to bring out their flavour and …
Eggo: Strawberry Bake Shop Twists
Eggo: Strawberry Bake Shop Twists are, admittedly, a little better than the apple variety, although the improvement is not so great that I feel that I will be purchasing these again. Many of the problems that plague the apple twists re-surface here. For example, there is not a whole …
Plain Chocolate M&M’s
I love sweets and chocolate and the plain chocolate M&M’s are my favourite after the crispy ones (which I don’t see around anymore) I love the hard candied coating of the Plain Chocolate M&M’s. I sometimes like to just eat the candy coating off the plain chocolaty middle then …
Mueller’s Elbow Macaroni
The Mueller’s brand has always been a must-have when it came to various pastas. I especially love their elbow macaroni because I’m always making macaroni and cheese for big Sunday dinners.
The Mueller’s elbow macaroni comes in two sizes: The regular box and the family size box. I usually buy …
Annie Chun’s Miso Soup
Annie Chun’s Miso Soup is something that is easy for me to fix and have for lunch, although admittedly, the soup does not look all that fabulous. Still, what really matters is how the soup tastes and not so much how it looks. While the soup looks rather bland, …
Nescafe 3in1
Drinking coffee is actually a part of our every day life. We drink a cup of it in the morning, and sometimes, even in the afternoon. Nescafe 3in1 is the brand we often buy.
Manufactured by Nestle Philippines,Inc., Nescafe 3in1 comes in a box …
Starbucks Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha Drink
I am completely addicted to the Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha, currently being marketed as one of Starbucks’ prime winter holiday coffee drinks. First of all, I should tell you that I am a sucker for chocolate beverages. I have been a longstanding fan of the Starbucks original …
Nature’s Path: Frosted Cherry Pomegran Toaster Pastries
I found Nature’s Path: Frosted Cherry Pomegran Toaster Pastries to be tasty, although sweeter than I expected. The sweetness comes from the frosting that covers the pastry. I do not feel that the frosting needed to be as sweet as it was made, but it really is not that …
Banquet’s Mexican Style Enchilada Combo Meal
This frozen dinner is by far one of the better meals in its class. Banquet combined (what I suspect) two of its most popular meals - the Beef Enchilada and the Cheese Enchilada meals - to make this delectable dish. This meal contains two beef and one chesse enchilada …
Kellogg’s Original Cinnabon Pancakes
Twelve Kellogg’s Original Cinnabon Pancakes come in a package for two dollars and fifty cents. That may sound like a fairly good deal, but the pancakes themselves actually aren’t that big. They’re more like mini-pancakes, looking to be about four inches in length. The size of the pancakes seriously …
Bluecrop Blueberries
An important part of any diet is fruit. One of the easiest fruits to grow in a small amount of space is Blueberries. I was in our local Wal-Mart the other day I grabbed two Blue crop Blueberry plants for $3.96 each to set out in …
Crush Grape Soda
I’ve found it to be one of two things when it comes to flavored sodas- people either love them or they hate them. I happen to be one of those people who loves them, which is why I have chosen to review Crush Grape Soda.
We buy this stuff quite …
All Natural Snapple Raspberry Ice Tea
Lately I have been drinking the All Natural Snapple Raspberry Tea and I have to say it taste delightful. The flavor of this ice tea taste just like freshly brewed ice tea with red ripped raspberries tossed into it. I find the drink to be very refreshing and healthier …
Bigelow Sweet Dreams Herb Tea
When I can’t seem to fall asleep at night I usually like to get up and make a cup of Bigelow Sweet Dreams Herb Tea. This herbal tea helps put me to sleepy with in 20 minutes of drinking it and without and side effects. The herbals in this …
Stouffer’s Macaroni & Beef
I found Stouffer’s Macaroni & Beef to be a relatively decent meal, although certainly nothing spectacular or overly memorable. I am not even sure that I will be purchasing it a second time, actually. One of the reasons I am not sure is because this meal is really not …
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Daquiri
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Daquiri is part of a failed line - in my opinion - of gelatin desserts that try to take a popular adult beverage and transform that beverage into a gelatin treat that retains the flavor of the drink while making it acceptable for all ages. …
McEnnedy Big Nut Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are my favourite ones but it really isn’t easy to find good ones for a good price.
McEnnedy Big Nut Cookies can be bought at Lidl stores and they don’t cost much, they price is usually about 1 Euro for 150g of these cookies. I bought them …
Marks and Spencer Thin and Crispy Pizzas
My favourite style of pizza is thin and crispy and until I discovered the lovely thin and crispy Marks & Spencer pizzas, I could not really find a brand that I liked. The ones I get usually range in price from £3 to £4 which is good considering …
Dim Sum
The popular dish Dim Sum means ‘to touch your heart’ in Cantonese. It consists of a wide variety of dumplings, steamed dishes and other goodies. It has a combination of meat, vegetables, seafood and fruit. Classic dim sum includes bau, dumplings and rice rolls. They are usually served with …
San Mig Coffee 3-in-1 Sugar Free
I love coffee and I like it strong and full-bodied. However, my husband and I have to go to the office early and, most of the time, there is just no time to brew coffee.
Luckily, there is San Mig Coffee Instant 3-in-1 Coffee Mix. It is three-in-one because …
Wendy’s Ice Cream
It’s getting close to spring time and spring and summer bring hot temperatures. When it gets that hot it’s time to find something to cool you down. Wendy’s new frosty float is the perfect option on those hot days to do just that. Wendy’s restaurants have their own version …
Willy Wonka SweeTarts Candy
How I got interested in Sweetarts was that when I was little, on Christmas day at my cousin’s house, there used to be a large red sock hanging on the bottom of the stairs filled with candy. Some of that candy was a brand of candy I loved that …
San Mig Coffee 3 in 1 coffee mix in Strong
I like instant coffee especially for breakfast. Since my aunt had Diabetes, she tried to purchase the San Mig Coffee 3 in 1 coffee mix in STRONG that is Sugar Free. I honestly did not like San Mig Coffee because the flavor is bland. It is like drinking water …
Yellowtail Chardonnay (2003 white wine)
Recently at a wedding I was served what I later found out was Yellowtail brand Chardonnay. When I first sipped it, I thought it was flat champagne (bad comparison) because it had somewhat of a “bite” even though it wasn’t sparkling. The wine wasn’t sweet, but was …
Best Choice Toaster Pastries in Frosted Strawberry
Although I know they are not the healthiest option for my children’s breakfasts, they absolutely love to east toaster pastries on mornings when we are rushed. I love them too because they are super easy to prepare. However, a box of eight pastries can run over $2 …
Sara Lee: Deluxe Blueberry Bagels
Do you like bagels? How about blueberries? Well, if you happened to answer “yes” to both of those questions, then I would most definitely suggest that the next time you are at the grocery store that you check out the Sara Lee: Deluxe Blueberry Bagels! I am very pleased …
Betty Crocker Au gratin Potatoes
We had steak for dinner last night and one of the side dishes my wife made with it was Betty Crocker’s Au Gratin potatoes. Those actually turned out to be one of the better things we ate.
I liked how you could make them right in the oven with the …
Kroger Wheat Bread
I like to eat sandwiches for lunch qute a bit, and I have recentlystarted making them on Kroger wheat bread. this is a really a pretty nice bread, especially for the cst. traditionally I tend to shy away from store brand breads, something engrained in me said they were …
Voortman Blueberry Turnover Soft Cookies
Voortman Turnover Soft Cookies are one of my favorite kinds of cookies. I usually purchase the strawberry flavored ones, but this week decided to try the blueberry flavored ones. These cookies are delicious, soft cookies with a dollop of fruit flavored jelly in the middle of them. The jelly …
Amy’s Enchiladas
It seems like I can always rely on Amy’s to make yummy packaged food. The Amy’s Enchiladas are no different. Just good and natural.
I love their enchiladas. They take 5 minutes in the microwave, but do not taste like a microwave food. They taste like …
Nestle’s Stixx
I looked in my mailbox one day last week and was delighted to find a small package. Like the song from “Sound of Music” says, “brown paper packages tied up with string” are among my favorite things.
The package contained Nestle’s Stixx, which was a new product launched in …
Pillsbury Strawberry Frosting
I have come across many icing’s in my life, and my sweet tooth has enjoyed every last one of them. It wasn’t until a few weeks ago though that I came across a new flavor of icing I can honestly say I had never tried before. Strawberry. I had …
Campbell’s Select Harvest Light: Maryland-Style Crab Soup
I had never tried Select Harvest Maryland-Style Crab, but the Campbell’s brand is one that you can count on for quality and I have been enjoying their soups for years. I am all for trying something new, so I decided to give it a whirl.
The label, which shows a …
Ann’s House of Nuts: California Mix
Ann’s House of Nuts sells a large jar of mixed dried fruits and nuts called the California Mix. The jar is large and wide, with the label on the front, nutritional information on the back, and a bright orange cover.
Overall, the nuts, raisins, and dried fruits in the …
Perk Poppers chocolate
I knew about this chocolate since a long time but I never tasted it. Perk Poppers are actually a set of oval balls containing biscuit-like fillings coated with chocolate. They are packed in a small bag, which is half the size of a cargo pocket. I ate this chocolate …
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Sweet & Sour Chicken
Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Sweet & Sour Chicken is a meal that could have been quite satisfying, but because of some problems here and there, it ended up being a meal that I likely will not purchase a second time. The chicken might very well be tender, but despite …
Cafe Breton’s Gallete Don Quixote Gourmet Crepe
I love crepes. There are a lot of restaurants serving crepes but no one has ever topped my favorite from café Breton. This restaurant has been in the business for years and they are still number one in my book.
This afternoon my husband and I were so hungry we …
Grandma Rechek’s Potato Wedges
I mentioned in another review that I picked up a chicken dinner from Rechek’s Food Pride last night; the Grandma Rechek’s brand from their deli. To go with that chicken, I also picked up a container of their potato wedges.
There are a few places around town that sell potato …
Millville Cinnamon Crunch Squares
Sweet, crunchy and enjoyable in and out of milk, the Millville Cinnamon Crunch Squares cereal is one that’s best enjoyed in moderation. I have found that while I do enjoy the cereal in small quantities, too much of it can make me feel a bit sick to my stomach. …
