I can remember that when I was a little girl, one of my favourite things to snack on was Butterkist sandwich cookies. I would open the sandwich cookies and lick the cream in between before I would eat the cookies themselves. However, as soon as I got tired of …

I couldn’t resist trying this frozen panini when I saw it in the supermarket. I’ve never had an actual Philly cheese steak, but I’ve always wanted to try one, and I thought this might be the closest I could come for a while.
This panini takes steak and combines …

When on the hunt in Sainsburys, one of my favorite snacks is their chilli flavoured potato snack. It’s a large packet of crisps and you will often find them near the curry and Mexican mixes so don’t be fooled into thinking that just because they are crisps they will …

I must say, Mrs. Freshley’s Cremey Curl Honey Bun is certainly an interesting variety that I did not think existed! This honey bun really does not even look like something I would have for breakfast, and that is typically when I eat honey buns. Inside this honey bun is …

I came into the know of Velveeta Cheesy Skillet Dinner kits when watching TV one evening and seeing the commercial with the black smith showing up to a woman’s door, and then showing her how to cook —˜liquid gold.’ The commercial appealed to me because for one it’s hilarious …

I’ve only found this cake mix on one of our local stores, but I’m really glad they have it! It is a great way for people who are watching their carbs to have cake ever once in a while. You still can’t eat a whole lot of …

Do not let the Halloween name and special packaging trick you: Mrs. Freshley’s Halloween: Chocolate Mini Donuts features no unique or special Halloween decorations or flavors. The chocolate donuts are just that - chocolate with typical donut cake inside. Why they even bother to add the word “Halloween” is …

Kashi often makes good and healthy cereals and snacks. When I bought this product, I was looking for something that would taste indulgent and still be healthful.
I like the fact that this bar uses a lot of whole grains and whole grain flours as ingredients, including oat flour, …

When it comes to ice cream I am very picky. I guess that’s because I got used to Italian ice creams and rarely the aren’t of an excellent quality. I like creamy ice creams that don’t taste like water, where you can’t feel small pieces of ice. For that reason …

I am reviewing Wrigley’s Orbit White Bubblemint gum. You can now buy this in the “BigePak” which is a circular shaped container. It is less than $3, and you get quite a bit of gum for that price. This particular size would be good to throw in your purse …

One of my favorite varieties of chocolates are dark chocolates. One of the brands which I have recently had the opportunity to purchase is Wawel Dark Chocolates. The ones that I bought contain little orange bits. I decided to try this particular flavor because it sounded very good. …

Edy’s mango ice cream is a recent discovery I made while on one of many excursions to super Wal-Mart. I had previously been accustomed to another brand of ice cream, but I figured since that brand no longer made their mango ice cream I would try Edy’s.
The mango ice …

Anyone who lives in the United States has seen a commercial for Digiorno pizza. Their big claim is that you cannot tell the difference between this pizza and delivery pizza. I have tried several varieties of this brand and yes, you can tell the difference. This …

This is a pretty flavorful pasta sauce. Unlike a lot of pasta sauces out there, this pasta sauce actually has chunks of tomato. There’s the typical tomato puree, but having actual slices of diced tomatoes in this pasta sauce really makes a difference! The diced tomatoes taste ripe and …

Even though it is my favorite sweet I have never tried to make it myself. I just think …

Maine Goodies Humpty Dumpty All Dressed Chips consist of a peculiar combination: vinegar and barbecue. I suppose it should not surprise me that the combination is odd with a product that sports such an odd name. I have never had a chip that merged both vinegar and barbecue together …

Betty Crocker - Walnut Chunk Brownies offer a nice change of pace from the smooth and chocolate rich brownies that generally dominate the grocery store. Indeed, the word “chunk” most definitely applies to this brownie! You will most certainly be able to taste the walnut flavor sticking out from …

They come in a box just like you would get waffles in and come …

Yoplait White Chocolate Raspberry is not a flavor combination that I am wild about. The combination sounded tasty, but unfortunately, that did not turn out to be the case. I do not feel that either flavor, be it the chocolate or the raspberry, came out well because this yogurt …

Froot Loops have been a welcome favorite of my sister’s and mine daily breakfast routine for quite a while now. It started in childhood. I think that Froot Loops was my sis’ favorite cereal at that time, and while it wasn’t mine, Sugar Crisp was always tops, it was …

I find so many supposedly ‘instant’ dishes that can be found in the supermarket are not really instant at all. Some of them you have to fiddle around with cups of milk and spoonfuls of margarine, others take almost an hour in the oven or are just very messy. …

One of my favorite times of year is around the holidays because of all the cool foods that come out. One of my favorites is Thomas’ Pumpkin Spice Bagels. I bought mine at Kroger for $2.86 per back of 6 pre sliced bagels.
Personally, I like them a lot. They …

Great Value Deluxe Mixed Nuts contains cashews, almonds, Brazil nuts, and pecans, slightly salted. A 10 oz can costs $3.96, which I think is a little too much for the Great Value brand, usually so well-priced. The mixed nuts are very good as a party snack. When we have …

I usually like Lean Cuisine meals, but this one was disgusting. I didn’t even finish it, and that’s really saying something for me! Lean Cuisine’s packaging describes this meal as “chicken tenderloins with cornbread stuffing & whipped potatoes.” There wasn’t one thing I liked about this meal, so let’s …

This cookies are known all over the world, and in my opinion it’s not only because of the advertisement campaigns. It really deserves its good fame, as Oreo cookies are really delicious.
