Trader Joe’s
Recently, the Whole Foods Market near my job relocated and a Trader Joe’s was put up in it’s place. I’ve always known about Trader Joe’s, but have never actually visited a store. I never really understood what a Trader Joe’s is, nor …
Jell-o Gelatin - Black Cherry

Kroger Death by Chocolate Ice Cream
Like any chocolate fan, I had to check out Kroger store brand Death by Chocolate Ice Cream when I saw it in the freezer in my local Kroger store. In general, there is no standard way to make or recipe for Death by Chocolate desserts, so I was curious …
Betty Crocker Hersey’s Triple Chunk Brownie Mix
There is one thing that I can think of–off the top of my head–that I’m guilty of: Not learning to make brownies from scratch. Luckily for me, there’s Betty Crocker in the wing ready to help me out and impress my mom who know I can’t cook–I’m working on …
Jell-o Pudding - Tapioca
Jell-o Pudding - Tapioca is quite good, although I am not as crazy about the tapioca variety as I am about the vanilla-chocolate swirl variety. The tapioca variety is certainly still good too, and the flavor is quite authentic as well as strong! The texture is pretty creamy and …
Nature’s Own Honey Wheat Bread
I had never really liked wheat breads before, then one day my mother got me to try this nature’s own brand bread. Wow, I have got to tell you I loved it right away.
Everything I put on it was so easily spreadable including butter and even peanut butter. …

Arrowhead Mills Organic Corn Grits
I am a big fan of polenta and I often buy it already prepared. It wasn’t until I came across a recipe for homemade polenta for the pressure cooker that I found out how easy and how much better homemade could be. The recipe I had called for corn …
McDonald’s southern style chicken
I’m not sure how new McDonalds’ Southern Style chicken is but I tried it for the first time a week ago and was very disappointed. It’s a breakfast sandwich that has a piece of chicken strip in between a flaky biscuit. For something that’s suppose to be southern, where’s …

So Delicious Original Coconut milk Creamer
So I’ve really been loving So Delicious products, even though I’ve tried just a few yet. Except for the plain coconut yoghurt, maybe it was just a bad batch or something, but the other products, like their Cocowhip and milk were a huge success. This coconut creamer is also amazing. …
M&M Premium Candy
If you put candy in front of me chances are good that it will not last very long. I thank my genetic and fast metabolism regularly. My husband loves to bring me snacks on a fairly frequent basis.
My daughter loves M&M Mini’s while I prefer mine with …
Fiesta Babarum, soft cake by Ferrero
Ferrero Fiesta Babarum ended up in my shopping cart because my boyfriend really likes cakes with rum so when I saw that Ferrero created a new Fiesta with rum added I just had to buy it and surprise my boyfriend. Of course, I had to taste it too although I …
Bigelow’s Peppermint Herb Tea
You can get this in a bottle or it also comes in tea bags for convenience. It actually tastes a lot like peppermint and not those ‘fake’ ones that claim to taste like peppermint but actually lacks the peppermint taste (or it isn’t that potent) or just tastes TOO …
Hillshire Farm Naturals Hardwood smoked Turkey Breast
Hillshire Farm Naturals Hardwood smoked Turkey Breast is a lunch meat product I picked up from my neighborhood Kroger one afternoon. I had been looking for a new lunch meat to try since I was growing tired of my usual. So to say, Hillshire Farm Naturals Hardwood smoked Turkey …

Cloverhill Bakery - Jumbo Glazed Honey Bun
While I most certainly cannot say that the Cloverhill Bakery - Jumbo Glazed Honey Bun offers much at all in terms of nutritional value, I most definitely can say that it is full of flavor and filling as well! The sugar and the honey certainly do a number on …

For one special occasion, my family tried Kitaro’s All Sashimi Feast Regular

Amy’s Organic Soups
The weather’s getting cooler and I want to eat warm foods while at work. In my local grocery store I peruse the soup shelves for something different. Voila! I see several cans of Amy’s Organic Soup…and choose Split Pea. You can’t go wrong with Split Pea, right? Right! This …
Orv’s Special Deluxe Pizza
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 …
Wonder Bread
When you are a child and you are thinking about bread, which really doesn’t happen too much since children aren’t really thinking about bread all that much only when you’re hungrying for a sandwich, I think that Wonder Bread is the first one to come to mind. It may …
Red Ribbon Bakeshop’s Chocolate Mango Mousse (Limited Edition)
Red Ribbon has always been known for its chocolate mousse cake. This month they came out with a new limited edition cake called the Chocolate Mango Mousse.

In-N-Out Burger in Mira Mesa, San Diego
In my opinion In-N-Out burger is the best fast food chain in Mira Mesa. Note, I stayed in Mira Mesa for a couple of months only so I didn’t get the chance to try the other fast food chains. Anyway, my uncle brought me to In-N-Out in Mira Mesa …
Nesquik Chocolate Milk Mix
My spouse purchased Nestle’s Nesquik Chocolate Milk Mix at the grocery store last week and I wasn’t too pleased because I really didn’t want to give our children any further excuse to have extra sugar in their diets.
I was surprised to see a ‘vitamin enriched, same great taste’ banner …

McDonald’s restaurant (UBC location)
This particular McDonald’s restaurant is almost always busy, probably because of its location on a university campus. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, it’s still a fairly clean location. (I’ve been in some McDonald’s restaurants that were not). So it’s your standard bright and cheerful McDonald’s (although it …
California Pizza Kitchen Crispy Thin Crust Signature Pepperoni Pizza
California Pizza Kitchen Crispy Thin Crust Signature Pepperoni Pizza normally sells for four dollars and ninety-eight cents at Walmart, although I was fortunate enough to get the pizza for three dollars and ninety-nine cents at Albertsons when it was on sale.

Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snacks Nutty Bar

My aunt used to give these to our family occasionally by bulk, giving us boxes and we’d happily eat them with bread and egg for breakfast and afternoon snacks. As I was growing up however we have also tried other snacks and not only Spam, since this had high …
Lunch Buddies Chocolate Pudding
In one package of Lunch Buddies Chocolate Pudding comes four three point five ounce cups of chocolate pudding for eighty-nine cents. It’s the cheapest pudding I’ve found, and it’s sold at ALDI Food Market stores. Pudding mixes are cheaper, but this pudding is already made and packaged, so it’s …

I am reviewing another food. And this time its a soft chewy cookies. Chunkee cookies are proudly made in the Philippines(that’s what it says in the pack). These cookies are soft so it is mistaken that it is not fresh anymore.
What I like:

OMG! Organic Matcha Powder
Matcha lattes are a big thing now and I believe there are actual caffes dedicated to that drink, which make it in different flavors. At first I was really grossed out by the idea of the green tea with milk, but then I tried it a few times and I …
Coke Zero No Sugar

Corazonas Heart Healthy Baja Bean Dip
Corazonas Heart Healthy Baja Bean Dip isn’t bad at all. I still prefer the original, basic tortilla chip variety, but Baja Bean is good as well. What amazing me about the Corazonas products is that you really do taste what the flavor of the product is supposed …
Cadbury Freddo
Almost everyone loves chocolates-I know I do! So my mum brought home some chocolates. It was given yo her by a friend. Since my mom is diabetic she can’t eat much. So I chowed down on them once I got hold of it.
These Chocolates look cute. They are shaped …
