Stouffer’s Harvest Apples
Stouffer’s Harvest Apples make for a relatively delightful side dish or after dinner treat. The reason I use the word “relatively” is because I believe that these apple slices could stand some improvement. Where the improvement could be made is in the flavor. There is not a great deal …
Brown Brothers 2007 Dolcetto & Syrah
This is a lovely red wine, it is full of summer berry flavours and is quite a sweet wine. I first tasted this wine at room temperature but was told that it was also nice chilled. The second time I tasted it was chilled and it …
Pepperidge Farm Milano Mint Distinctive Cookies
I confess that I have not eaten these cookies in years. But I remember when a friend offered one to me many years ago, and they were delicious! This is an oblong cookie that is in the form of a sandwich. (Think of an Oreo cookie.) In between the …
Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice - some pulp
I have to say, after trying so many different brands of orange juices, this is definitely the best tasting, most natural brand and my go to brand. It seems to run a little but pricier than other brands of orange juice in the store, however there are often …
Chungs Pork Egg Rolls
I just purchased a box of Chung’s Pork Egg Rolls and they are excellent. There are 4 egg rolls in a box, each egg roll is about the size of the ones you would get in a Chinese restaurant. They can be prepared in the microwave or in the …
Madagascar Pure Vanilla Extract
Let’s discuss vanilla extract. When baking cookies recently, I ran out of vanilla extract, and went to the grocery store. I was in an immediate rut. My cookie dough was still in the bowl requiring vanilla.
Some of the prices of grocery store pure vanillas are outragous, and I …
Hill Country Fare Kettle Corn Popcorn
I am a fan of popcorn, I am a fan of kettle corn. Kettle corn is great because it provides the best of both worlds: sweetness and saltiness, all in a single kernel of popcorn. It is a great tasting snack, and one which I really enjoy.
Hill …
Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Muffins
Although Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Muffins definitely contain a richer amount of blueberry flavor than the one-hundred calorie blueberry muffins, the flavor is still not nearly as impressive as the Little Debbie Blueberry Muffins. Whereas the Little Debbie muffins off an explosive degree of blueberry taste that really excite my …
Miso-Cup Instant Soup
I recently decided to give Miso-Cup instant “Delicious golden vegetable soup” by Edward&Sons a try. It comes in a box with Eight 8-oz servings in Four Envelopes for $5.49. I had always enjoyed Miso soups at Asian restaurants, so I wanted to see what this freeze-dried version would …

Child’s play candy
I bought some Child’s Play candy for Halloween to give out. It has tootsie rolls, juniors, snack bars, mini dots, tootsie pops, and tootsie fruit rolls. It has more tootsie rolls then anything. It has flavored tootsie rolls as well; I don’t know what they are really called. The …

What I …
So Delicious Unsweetened Coconutmilk
I’ve been trying different plant-based milks for the last few months and, apparently, I’m really picky since I don’t have a favourite yet. This milk didn’t find its way into my favourites either. Even though I like So Delicious and I think their coconut milk products are really nice, I …
Grace Instant Coffee
Although I do not drink coffee very much, as of late I have been developing somewhat of a taste for it. I also believe that I can also distinguish between a bad cup of coffee or brand of coffee just like I mentioned in a previous product review, and …

AmicaVedre mayonnaise

Clancy’s Traditional Party Mix
Clancy’s Traditional Party Mix is a great alternative to the more expensive mixes that are sold in grocery stores. This is pretty much the only party mix that I’ve come across that sells for just under two dollars and comes in a fifteen ounce bag. It’s a great value …
ACT II Popcorn
Let me start out by saying Act II microwavable popcorn isn’t normally our brand of choice. When it comes to popcorn, Pop Secret still remains my brand of choice. However, when we were traveling recently, the Act II was the only brand we could find on the road so …
Franck 2in1
Yesterday I had a Franck 3in1 instant coffee drink and as I bought a bunch of them when I went to a big discount, I mean I bough severa different instant coffee drinks to try them out, today I really wanted to see the difference between Franck 2in1 and …
Bottega Nero Dark Chocolate Liquor
Alcohol is something I’ve never written a review for and it’s not that I don’t drink, it’s just that I didn’t want to write about things like wine and beer, since it’s really hard to explain the flavor of those (at least for me) and will unlikely give people …
Knorr Real Chinese Soup
There are actually two variants of Knorr soup, the cream soups and the real Chinese soups. Between the two, I prefer the real Chinese soups even though they are a bit expensive. But still both tastes good.Since we love soups and we use them as side …

Fudge Shoppe Grasshopper Mint Cookies
Fudge Shoppe Grasshopper Mint Cookies are delicious mint and chocolate cookies. They have a layer of chocolate over the cookie. The layer does add taste, but it takes over the cookie. There should be more cookie than candy since its not sold as a candy. The actual …
Cupcakes by Sonja (Mocha Cupcake)

Chick-fil-A Side Salad
The Side Salad at Chick-fil-A is a great option for those that simply would like a decent sized salad to go with their sandwich and not a large salad with chicken in it. The side salad is just that: something that is meant to be eaten with something, while …
Monster Mojito
Monster Mojito is a limited edition offering from the people at Jones Soda. Every year they make a number of different sodas that people either love or hate with a passion. You don’t get a lot of middle ground when it comes to their flavors and that includes this …
Spumoni Ice Cream from Edy’s
The Spumoni flavored ice cream from Edy’s brand is a flavor that looks very appealing during advertising, but does not really deliver the sort of kick that I had expected it to. The three flavors in this ice cream sounded as though they would be a delicious explosion of …
McDonald’s Quarter Pounder with Cheese Value Meal
I have been to numerous McDonald’s branches, from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and many more but I could not find anything close to our homegrown choices. I had tried eating at Singapore when I happen to stop by a mall and the nearest fast food was McDonald’s. It is …

Kellogg’s Live Bright Dark Chocolate Vanilla Bars

Baci Perugina White, pralines by Nestle
