Marie Callender’s Original Corn Bread Mix
How I missed corn bread! Growing up, my grandmother was great at making corn bread, and I just loved it. My father made a mean corn bread, too. Actually, so do I, but I just hate the mess anymore. The best corn bread was always …

I have known Goldilocks for their delectable baked cakes, bread and pastries. Then last weekend I had the chance to taste their chicken pie which is locally known as “empanada”. The food taste good and I am craving for more. It is chicken meat cooked with several vegetables like …
Hostess Chocolate Cream Twinkies
I don’t know about you, but this is one of my least favorite times of the year. Oh, sure, it’s getting colder, and in my part of the world (Southeast Texas) it isn’t exactly Fall picturesque to be sure, but those aren’t the reasons I’m thinking of. Right now …
Bel Air Mega Sub
Bel Air’s deli has a bunch of different sandwiches to choose from, but their granddaddy has to be their Mega Sub. This thing is positively huge, and it is definitely far more than one person can eat, or at least, that’s my take on it. For it …
President’s Choice Extra Rich Hot Chocolate Mix
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. …

Trader Joes’ O’s

They’re sold for a relatively low price, at about 1.50 / 18 fl oz bottle. There are a few different …
Vitagen Collagen
I like Vitagen Collagen more than other cultured milk products. The milky taste of Vitagen Collagen takes away the sourness of the Lactobacillus culture.
I hate those cultured drinks that are so acidic, that makes me feel I am consuming tons of bacteria into my body. Fortunately, Vitagen …
Peter Pan Creamy Peanut Butter
This is the best peanut butter I have ever tasted. Many people say that you can’t tell the difference between different kinds of peanut butter but that is not true. Different companies use specific ingredients to make their product taste unique. That is what the Peter Pan brand does. …
Blue Diamond Almonds Wasabi and Soy flavored

Stouffer’s Escalloped Chicken & Noodles
Stouffer’s Escalloped Chicken & Noodles is probably a meal that I will not purchase again. The reason I will likely not purchase it again is because I did not find the combination meal to be all that satisfying. It even upset my stomach a little. I think there was …
Cousin’s Chili
I don’t normally complain about the food I get from Cousin’s Subs. Normally the service is somewhat questionable but the food makes it worth it.

I picked it up looking for something warm to …
