Ever since my sister-in-law gave me a can of Vegeta Gourmet stock three years ago, it has been an essential part of my pantry. This stock is very versatile. I use it in almost all of my recipes. …
Grilled Baja Chicken at O’Charley’s Restaurant
This delicious satisfying dish is sadly only offered during the summer months. But when it’s available, I made a mad dash for the door. There are a number of things that’s appealing about this dish. First, the price is very affordable for what you get. …
Fit & Active Sour Cream & Onion Cracker Crisps
Fit & Active Sour Cream & Onion Cracker Crisps come in a four point four ounce package and retail for one dollar and thirty-nine cents. Upon trying these cracker crisps, I came to the conclusion that, while tasty and pleasant, they aren’t a good value. The package they come …
Snyder Of Berlin Plain Puff’N Corn (Hulless)
I just love these. I remember my Grandmother serving them to us kids because she was afraid we would choke on regular popcorn. We loved it then too. This delicious salty and buttery snack is the alternative for getting popcorn kernels and their skins stuck in your teeth, tastes …
Kellogg’s Special K Cereal - Vanilla Almond
This cereal is delicious! Vanilla-flavored foods and desserts are a favorite of mine and this cereal does not disappoint when it comes to the rich vanilla flavor! The almond flavor is not to be missed either, and although I am actually not all the crazy about almonds, I do …
Entenmann’s Holiday Pop’ems
I did not care for Entenmann’s Holiday Pop’ems very much at all. The reason I did not like them too much is because there is just not a lot of flavor to the pop’ems. These pop’ems are covered in sprinkles and aside from looking colorful and nice, these sprinkles …
Borbello 4 Meat Pizza
I wrote before that I tried pizzas from the brand Borbello and liked them. Since they were still on sale, I decided to pick up a couple different varieties to give them a try. Since they didn’t have the Hawaiian pizza my wife wanted to try, I ended up …
Jennie-O Ground Turkey
When shopping at Super WalMart they had some Jennie-O Ground Turkey for sale, less than $2 a pound. We decided to give it a try, since we’ve heard turkey is better for you than beef, and ground beef here can be $4 or more a pound (unless on …
Farmland Honey & Maple Sausage Links
I mentioned in another review that my wife decided to make a pancake breakfast on Saturday. To go with the pancakes, we decided to make some sausage links and ended up cooking Honey and Maple Sausage from the brand Farmland.
They were OK but not great.
First, they tasted nothing like …
Jose Cuervo Authentic Light Margarita
Like many people, I struggle with my weight as I get older. I am always trying to find delicious light recipes or drinks so I can attempt to lose weight without feeling like I’m missing out or unsatisfied. Since summer is right around the corner, I’ve been craving margaritas …
Gerber Graduates Finger Foods - Puffs
I started my son on puffs when he was able to understand gumming and mashing food. I first started with the other brands that weren’t sweetened because they contained less sugar and I figured that these would make him hyper. My mother in law got him a …
Starbucks Double Shot Energy Drinks
As a barista, I am always out and about looking to expand my taste horizons when it comes to coffee and espresso in general. After all, how can I expect to recommend different products to customers if I haven’t sampled everything on the market? This product; however, fell into …
San Mig 3-in-1 Coffee Mix Mild
I am a huge fan of San Mig’s 3-in-1 line of coffees. The 3-in-1 Coffee Mix comes in Mild, Original, Strong and Extra Strong blends. The four blends also come in sugar-free variances. So, it’s for everyone even for those who are quite conscious about their sugar diets. I’d …
Yogurt Park
When I lived in the dorms at Unit 3 right across from Unit 3, I never understood what the big deal was about Yogurt Park. Yes I knew it was famous, and I knew that many of the people I knew really liked it, I never understood the craze …
Oscar Mayer Ham & Turkey Sub Kit
I purchased the Oscar Mayer Ham & Turkey Sub Kit at Sam’s Club recently pretty much on a whim, but the price was so good compared to what I’d pay for the equivalent at a regular grocery story that I decided it was worth a try. Part of …
Republic of Tea Blackberry Sage Full Leaf Loose Tea
The Republic of Tea is known for making high-quality teas in a variety of natural flavor combinations. Blackberry Sage is a black tea with layered notes of blackberries and sage leaves. It seems an
unlikely combination of ingredients, but this delicately-flavored, all-natural tea is delightful by itself, in the morning, …
Lucky Me Instant Noodles
Preparing food is not an easy job because it needs time and skill, for people on the go like me, I’m too busy to prepare foods so I try different instant foods that will satisfy me. I already tried cereals, oatmeal, bread and spread and instant noodles, and as …
Snyders honey mustard and onion pretzels
Snyders honey mustard and onion pretzels are by far the tastiest, best pretzels I ever tasted. Although onions never did agree with me, somehow there pretzels always agree with me. The taste is tangy yet not spicey enough to cause a stomach ache. They …

Now showing: The Case of the Missing Almonds *cue creepy mystery music*…..Lean Cuisine’s website describes Chicken with Almonds meal as: “Chicken tenderloins in a rich soy sauce,topped with sliced almonds and served with a medley of white rice,green beans, yellow carrots and broccoli florets.” It’s part of the Cafe …

Sometimes, whenever I have purchased name brand products such as juices, I find myself disappointed in the product. There is not much taste behind it and I feel like I have gotten my money’s worth seeing as how I paid less for the product and got less of a …
Kraft Philadelphia Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese
I have long been a Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese lover. I have bought many different flavours of dips and cheeses from them over the years, but this was the first time I had bought the Smoked Salmon cream cheese.
This product tastes incredible. It does taste of smoked salmon (and …
Healthy Choice Café Steamers Chicken Pesto Classico
The main complaint I had with the last Café Steamers entrée I tried was the angel hair pasta. I prefer heartier pasta shapes, like rotini or farfelle. I wanted to try Chicken Pesto Classico because the pasta was rotini and I love pesto. Also, from the …
Kraft Velvetta Mexican Mild Cheese
I think everyone is familiar with Kraft Velveeta Cheese, it has been around a long time mainly because it is a fine product and being a soft cheese it easily melts for use in wonderful sauces over vegetables such as asparagus, potatoes, cauliflower and broccoli among other foods or cut …
Hilo Value Chinese Soy Sauce
One thing that I like about the brand Hilo is that they have released a few good quality products and sold them at a price that is lower than any other brand at most Hilo supermarkets I have visited islandwide. However, there are still one or two Hilo …
Stouffer’s Cheesy Spaghetti Bake
Stouffer’s Cheesy Spaghetti Bake disappointed me because I really enjoy cheese, and I expected this dinner to be quite cheesy and offer a rich cheese flavor. Unfortunately, this meal did not live up to my expectations. While I could certainly taste both the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, I did …
Glaceau Vitamin Water
Well I wil say the good stuff first. I appreciate the Glaceau Vitamin Water people for the fact that they don’t use high fructose corn syrup to sweeten their beverages. It is one of the cheapest and most overused sweeteners as of today. Many kids are becoming allergic because …
Lurpak Butter
Lurpak is an excellent butter, the taste of which I have been familiar with all my life as my mum used to put Lurpak on our jacket potatoes. She did believe in getting good butter in. Lately, I have stopped buying these spreads and ‘like butter but …

Nandos Hot Peri-Peri Flavoured Crisps
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 …
Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton
Eating the right food is important to our health. Health experts advise us not to to eat too much instant food mainly because of the all the preservatives present on them. I remember one e-mail I read about the risk of eating too much instant noodles.
But being busy at …
Breyers Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Breyers Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is certainly an improvement over the chocolate chip variety, but not so much that I will be purchasing this ice cream on a regular basis. The chocolate chip cookie dough and chips are relatively plentiful and can be easily found throughout the ice cream. …
Champion Lime Juice
We have a huge lime tree in our yard that has borne a lot of limes thoughout the years. However, recently when the country started having a drought, we began to find less and less limes on it, to the point where one day we did not even find one. …
Golden Flake vs Walkenbach
I have never been a pretzel person until recently, and don’t really know what brought me to pretzels. My husband has always loved them and wanted me to eat them too and I would take a couple and then be like “Well I really don’t like pretzels.”
Then, I …
Kitiyama Restaurant
Kitiyama Restaurant is an upscale restaurant in Newport Beach, California. It is located on the border of Costa Mesa around the John Wayne airport area. The restaurant is traditional Japanese. Although is is considered upscale, I consider it dressy casual and very intimate once you are seated. As …

Wawel Dark Chocolate With Orange Bits
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. …
Equality Veggie Pizza (frozen product)
I like to stuff my freezer with those small frozen pizzas. It is definitely not the among the best tasting frozen products. As a matter, it does have that processed cheese plastic-y taste. But at the same time, there are products out there that are a lot worse.
There are …
Pringles Stix - Vanilla
Although I generally like the flavor of vanilla, I really do not care very much for this variety of the Pringles stixs. The reason I do not care very much for this variety is because the vanilla flavor is not all that rich or noticeable and also, vanilla flavored …
Del Monte Pineapple Juice
Eversince I was a kid, I was not very fond of pineapple juices. I always think that they are a bit sour to taste and is not very good to drink. I am more inclined to getting myself loaded with watermelon, melon, or mango juice than a pineapple juice …
Pionir Negro eucalyptus candy
These blue candies come in a white plastic bag with a picture of a man who is cleaning the chimney. It is kind a funny because they want to say that these candies are going to clean your throat the way this man cleans the chimney. Each candy is …
Celestial Seasonings Caffeine Free Sleepytime Vanilla Herbal Tea

Fritt chewy candy orange
I rarely eat candies because I like chocolate and biscuits much more, but sometimes when I see something in the store that looks tasty I just can’t resist it. That was the case with Fritt chewy candy orange. Actually there were several different tastes, like cherry and strawberry but …
Chief Chunky Red Hot Sauce (Salsa Picante)
I have a favourite pepper sauce or hot sauce but recently it was sold out and I was making a dish which absolutely needs to have pepper sauce added into it for it to taste any good! Besides, I love my foods spicy! but I hardly ever cook them …
Garden of Eatin’ Blue Corn Tortilla Chips
I am totally hooked on these chips. We gave them a try on a whim, and we liked them so much we have begun to buy them about once every week. We buy ours at Earth Fare grocery store, but I’m not sure what other stores sell them. Even …
Brakebush Popcorn Chicken
My daughter loves popcorn chicken. But, it’s expensive to keep buying it from the deli so we looked for some we could make ourselves. The brand we settled on was Brakebush. And, while the Brakebush frozen popcorn chicken isn’t bad, it unfortunately didn’t work for our family.
The thing I …
Bornvita ( health drink)
I used this health drink for one month and now I have decided to use it for my children sake, as the taste of this drink is just very good and yummy. My children liked it a lot. It comes even in the chocolate flavour, which is …
Mountain Dew Kickstart
As someone who downs at least two energy drinks a day, I would consider myself something of an expert on the various brands of caffeinated canned beverages. Mountain Dew’s Kickstart is a refreshing change of pace from the energy drinks we’ve all become accustomed to. Say goodbye to …
Radical Fruit wild seduction
When the soft drinks from Radical Fruit Company appeared the first time, they all had funny names that made you feel embarrased when asking for them in a bar. How do you ask the bartender for a wild seduction without laughing? However, as I found the names funny, of …
Ronzoni Garden Delight Fettuccine
I picked up this pasta when there was a sale on Ronzoni pasta, thinking it was part of the promotion; it was not, and it was at least twice as expensive as the other pastas. While the taste was fine and the added veggies were a nice bonus, I …
