I was looking for a quick lunch Saturday afternoon and ended up running up the street to Walgreens to purchase a single-serve sized Stouffer’s Meat Lasagna. I have had these in the past and, for the most part, will confess I’m getting a
bit burned out on them. But, they do …

Because I’m awake when everyone else is asleep in the mornings I usually end up eating cold breakfasts (because I’m afraid of waking people up if I’m cooking something in the kitchen). This morning, I decided to have cereal. And, because it was the one I ended up grabbing …

Aunt Jemima Pancakes and Sausage Breakfast is a breakfast I eat from time to time. Aunt Jemima makes a few different varieties, and while they aren’t as premium as some of their competitors, like the Jimmy Dean offerings, they are often satisfying and good tasting.
I do like Aunt …

I wanted to start this review with a caveat - I am pretty particular about healthy eating and approach all food from the viewpoint of its nutritional value. I wanted to try the bread because I read (off of their website) that they milled the bread themselves. …

The Cadbury Bliss is a new chocolate bar, and one which seems to be aimed at women judging by the little advertising that I have seen for it. I am, as usual, slightly irritated by this assumption that it is only women who want a nice, comforting chocolate hit …

A couple of days ago, I went to get groceries to our local Walmart late at night, around 11:00 (it was a long day). Perhaps that is why I had managed to find the Great Value version of French vanilla coffee creamer: obviously, the product is so popular that …

My son and I really appreciate good tasting coffee! We have tried many kinds, blends, and different coffee shops. This week, my son brought home a different kind for us to try, and we are very pleased with the ease of use, and the rich flavor. He bought it …

I am not a good home cook. I prefer packaged foods simply because it is easier to prepare. I don’t have to go to all the trouble. The only problem is that I like the taste of homemade lasagna better. Since I don’t have the time nor the …

A popular brand of bread, bulla and bun here is Purity, and even though I disliked their food a few years ago, I’ve come to like a few of their products just recently, and I’m not sure if it’s because they might have changed a couple of their recipes. …

When I am about to catch a cold or feel the flu coming on I like to drink Garden of the Andes Organic Rosehip Herb Tea. It contains high amounts of vitamin C and helps boost the immune system so it can prevent or help fight off the cold …

I’m the kind of person who likes her hot dogs pure: hot dog, bun, and just a dash of traditional mustard. No fancy mustards, no dijons, and definitely nothing with honey. For years French’s mustard suited me just fine.
But I’m also a person who likes a bargain, so when …

This recipe is something that my aunt taught me to do. She told me that a good woman must know how to cook and she always make it a point to inculcate this fact to me without fail each time. Therefore, I tried my best to master one …

If you like your crisps with a lot of heat, then you will love these Nandos Hot Peri-Peri flavoured crisps. For me they are a little too hot and I would prefer the spicy flavour of Sensations Sweet Chilli or whatever they are called. But I think …

Blue Bunny Cookies ‘N Cream Ice Cream Sandwich turned out to be quite a disappointing ice cream sandwich. What made the sandwich so disappointing? Well, there seemed to be very little flavor to enjoy here. For example, neither the vanilla nor the chocolate flavors did very much for my …

Peanut butter lovers, this is the ice cream you have been waiting for! Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Peanut Butter Cookie is nothing but peanut butter on top of peanut butter inside peanut butter! The ice cream is rich with authentic and scrumptious peanut butter, layers of peanut butter …

I went to the store today looking for something sweet and what caught my eye was ice cream fridge, and discounts, of course. I saw this big 1kg ice cream by Algida was on an almost 50% discount so I bought it. There were four different flavors in the container …

Pepsi is my vice (along with Spaghetti). I drink it all the time. I can’t stand Coke. As a child, my parents originally did purchase Coke, but when Pepsi really began to pop up, they switched, and we never looked back. Now what is funny …

Choc-Nut Milk Chocolate is probably the all time favorite chocolate of Filipinos. Eating a bar of Choc-Nut would lead to one more and more and more. This is a unique blend of grinded peanuts and chocolates in one bite sized bar. For me it is just one bite …

One of the side dishes I decided to make with dinner last night was sweet corn from the brand Great Value.
I have had Great Value products in the past and have been happy with them for the most part but will confess this particular item was a disappointment to …

Who doesn’t love Oreos? Seriously, what can be better than 2 chocolate cookies with the sweet creamy filling in between? I love Oreos, but those are one of the worst things to eat. But as many other processed GMO foods they are delicious.

I don’t usually buy Oreos, but when …

M&Ms has been an institution as far as candy coated chocolates are concerned. Nowadays there are a variety of flavours to choose from. Be it with almonds, peanuts or those weird crispies which I haven’t seen lately.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my all time favourite M&Ms …

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 …

When I did my shoprite from home on line shopping order a few months back I was happy to receive a few of these starbucks bottles as promotional samples. I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy these beverages are. My husband wasn’t entirely impressed with them but …

I have recently developed a love for chocolate covered strawberries. I used to melt chocolate over the strawberries and allow it to harden but I just stared using smuckers hot fudge and have been very pleased with the results. Smuckers hot fudge is very inexpensive and tastes great on …

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 …

I have started with my Weight Watchers diet a few days ago and I am quite happy with it. I did not want to pay for membership but I figured maybe I can do it myself by buying their products and having a little knowledge about the Weight Watchers point …

I’ve long been a firm believer that in most cases, food items do not vary much from brand to brand and therefore, the variables I employ are usually price, flavour, fat content or size. Manufacturers usually use much the same ingredients, so the taste of the product varies little. …

The Market Pantry Cini Mini Crunch cereal comes in a twelve point eight ounce box for just under two dollars. This is a cereal that can be found only at Target stores as it’s a Target store brand item. I only bought this cereal once as I never had …

DeliMex Soft Chicken and Cheese Tacos are located in the freezer compartment of the supermarket. Although they are called “tacos”, they are not in traditional soft taco shells or even crispy taco shells. Instead, they are basically rolled up in flour tortillas much like taquitos, but these soft tacos …

I don’t like spicy hot food. When I buy canned or jarred food I make sure it is mild or very mild. Some canned foods are flat tasting in my opinion. There is not much flavor.
One day I was grocery shopping when I spotted Bush’s Chili in a …

Super WalMart in our community of Lake Havasu City , Arizona is selling Oak Leaf wine for less than $2 a bottle. I’ve read that WalMarts in other areas are selling the wine for $3 a bottle. It is being compared to Trader Joe’s 2 Buck Chuck. Frankly, I …

Cows are a creamy butter toffee candy, filled with chocolate. You can get them at Costco, in big bags. Upon opening, they look similar to a soft Werthers candy, but once you put them in your mouth, you can taste the chocolate.
These candies are addictive! Once …

I buy bags of Jet-puffed Marshmallows from Stop and Shop all the time! I used to use the store brand until I realized that the jet-puffed marshmallows taste so much better. I usually buy the standard sized marshmallows in the summertime for my kids to use at a …

I think I mentioned once before that we had intended on having a 4th of July barbecue but, because of a few circumstances, ended up buying some frozen pizzas instead. One of the pizzas we ended up purchasing was a Special Deluxe Pizza from the brand Orv’s.
I normally don’t …

I thought that I would enjoy Stouffer’s Lasagna with Tomato Sauce & Italian Sausage because first of all, I like Italian sausage, and second of all, I really enjoy lasagna products from Stouffer’s. Somehow though, my liking of both these things resulted in me not liking this lasagna. Perhaps …

I am not usually very crazy about some of those older thriller and suspense movies from back in the sixties, but once or twice one or two might catch my eye, and one of those that did is the movie “fail Safe.” After watching it I can honestly say …

I am always looking for other juices to purchase from the grocery store for my two children. After trying many of the juices on the market I have come to a problem of running out of things to offer my children that are new or different. Everyone gets a …

I am a fan of Peanut Butter and although it is usually the brand named one that I buy as I do think it is the best one, I like to try cheaper brands as I may end up really liking it and therefore it will end up saving …

I know in some of my reviews over Amy’s dinner I have complained about the sodium content. That is why I like that they offer many meals in both regular and low sodium meals. One of the meals that does this is the Light in Sodium Brown Rice & …

I am not all that crazy about Little Debbie Easter Puffs, although I would be if they would just remove one thing from the puffs. These puffs have chocolate on the inside and marshmallow on the outside and there is also a white icing coated beneath the marshmallow. There …

If you are trying to be a more conscientious consumer than buying organic is great. Where to start? Is it necessary to replace everything in your cupboard? Not really it depends how far you want to go and how much you want to spend. I spend close to a …

Dreyer’s slow churned rich and creamy French vanilla ice cream is one of my usual favorite choices when buying ice cream. The French Vanilla taste is authentic and very rich from Dreyer’s. Even though it is written slow churned, there is no much difference from usual Dreyer’s ice cream. …
