There are so many cooking oils out there that it really isn’t an easy thing picking out one. For that reason, I did some research on what is considered the “healthiest” oils to cook with and my research revealed that canola oil is generally considered to be about the …

Recently I was on the road in Southern Oregon and needed to pick up a quick meal. I stopped at the local Safeway and nothing looked good. Finally, I looked at the pre-made sandwiches near the deli counter.
I expected to find the usually homogenized egg salad on white bread …

I have been eating New Zealand vegetarian cheddar cheese for as long as I can remember. It’s a popular and standard cheese in our country and it is perfect to use in almost any dish you are making or to just eat by itself or with a dash of …

I wanted to try something new when it came to the sugars that I consumed. I was trying to become a bit more healthy in my own right. The thing that actually made it difficult was trying new stuff like sweet n low. Since I was cutting out the …

Apple Jacks Cereal Straws left an unpleasant taste in my mouth. Normally I enjoy the taste of cinnamon but I found these to be very unpleasant. I couldn’t eat more than the one and I forced myself to finish that one. I was surprised they didn’t taste better as …

These tea bags smell absolutely amazing when still in box! I like their pyramid shapes, they are supposed to provide better aroma development because of their shape, that be true or not they still look pretty interesting.
Tea has a decent aroma which is in my opinion just a bit …

This is a 14oz. bag of potato chips. Its considered a family size pack.
These chips are nice and crunchy. They are quite thin and large. The best thing is that these chips do not contain cholesterol. It is made in all natural oil adding to the taste. After …

When it comes to takeaways, sometimes the old student comes out in me. Let’s be honest, there are some that you would rarely use unless you had not been out of the town or had a few drinks at home first.
There is one in Bedford that does appeal to …

Recently i have purchased a big bunch of Tiffany’s chilli flavored bugles from a local super market. I have tasted them, they are very tasty. I really liked these crispy and spicy corn snacks. These are good evening time snacks. Their taste is ultimate. But the disadvantage is that …

Choc-Nut Milk Chocolate is probably the all time favorite chocolate of Filipinos. Eating a bar of Choc-Nut would lead to one more and more and more. This is a unique blend of grinded peanuts and chocolates in one bite sized bar. For me it is just one bite …

This is another product that I found in the Tony’s Chippy range. Not sure if this is a new range that has come out, but I have only started seeing these products recently in my local Supermarket. Lets hope that there is more products that come out from this …

This pear flavored water variety by hint is not one that I will purchase again quite simply because I did not enjoy it very much. Maybe it is because I do not think that pears have a whole lot of flavor by themselves. However, added to this water, it …

I don’t know why potato chips are so ridiculously expensive these days, but they are. If it wasn’t for the Great Value brand, I probably wouldn’t buy any.
Great Value Potato Chips offer good quality at a reasonable price. A 12 oz (340 g) bag costs $1.50, still a little …

During trick or treating this year, rather than hand out candy, I instead filled my bowl with pieces of Bazooka Bubble Gum. My wife thought it was because I�m a cheapskate. Not true. I chose to do this simply because I wanted the leftovers.
I�ve tried quite a few brands …

I really like Italian food, especially a yummy filling lasagna with meat sauce. However, not only am I not much of a cook, but also I am the only one in my family who likes meat in their lasagna. Therefore, if I want to eat lasagna with …

Now here is some cookie dough that is not only safe to eat, but tasty, too! Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Super Chunky Cookie Dough is a real delight to have with the semi-sweet chocolate and cookie dough batter all intertwined and mixed together! There is a definite cookie …

One of the candy bars that we’ve purchased consistently over the years is the Mr. Goodbar Candy Bar. It was a favorite of my mother’s and me, too. It was a delicious combination of milk chocolate and peanuts. I love the milk chocolate and my mom …

Eggo: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bake Shop Mini Muffin Tops are terrible. They simply are. To my taste buds, these mini muffin tops are almost totally tasteless and plus, because they are so small, eating one does nothing for me at all. I know that these are not intended to …

I should say not all buns are the same. I have tasted far better Chinese buns than what I have had for dinner today; but of course this isn’t the worst of them all. I am talking about “siopao buns”. Ministop a convenient store has these kind of buns …

I am not so crazy about Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Mini Fudge Brownie Bites. Although they are decent, I personally prefer the frosted chocolate cupcakes that are made by Mrs. Freshley’s compared with these. I guess I just find these brownie bites to be somewhat dull in the flavor. There …

When you walk into Paul’s Diner in Parsippany you immediately see a glass case full of cakes. There are many types to choose from, including black forest cake. All the cakes look delicious, and the black forest cake especially looked good, so the last time I went to the …

The other day I purchased some Tazo tea and I thought that it would be worthy of a review. Now I’m a big tea snob, and won’t settle for just any kind of tea. I purchased Tazo’s Passion tea and I was expecting it to be like some other …

We all know what lovely Galaxy milk chocolate tastes like as it has been around for ages —“ creamy and smooth —“ but this is Galaxy in a new form and I think it works well. Put it this way, I bought a packet of 4 of these …

Recently my parents brought home two tins of Ramson’s Vegetarian Baked Beans. Upon seeing the title I imagined that the beans might taste a little different from the other brands that we were used to buying , but as it turns out that wasn’t the case. The word “vegetarian” …

In all the time that I have eaten crisps I have come across some wacky limited edition Flavours. Well now we have even more unusual and yet tasty flavours by one of the most popular crisp brands Walkers.
With 5 varieties to choose from, Builders Breakfast, in my own frank opinion …

Recently I’ve begun a new healthy living diet in my home. My kids tend to turn up their nose at most of the ideas i’ve come up with but i put my foot down and told em to get over it. Sounds tough right?
Really they wanted to get healthier …

It is a shame that the Little Bites Blueberry Muffins are not slightly more moist and fresh as well as rich in blueberry flavor as the Little Debbie variety because these little muffins are quite the ideal size for snacking while on the go! The size is perfect, but …

Pretzels seem to be the big thing right now. Just a few days before writing this review, I ran across a bag of soft pretzel rolls in the store, and not to mention I saw the billboard with the advertisement of the fast, food restaurant Wendy’s having a pretzel …

Not many years ago, foods labeled “Organic” were considered odd foods only consumed by health food “nuts” who don’t mind essentially tasteless edibles.
But times have changed, thank goodness, and now the masses are beginning to appreciate the health benefits of organic items, many of which actually taste great! …

After parle’s coffee bite melody chocolate is the one that I like in taste. It has a nice chocolaty taste, its not too sweet, and not too chocolaty either, the taste is just fine for my likes. Plus it is soft, and its not hard and crunchy. I don’t …

A soup that I discovered in Tesco a couple of years ago is a Tesco branded Chunky Chilli Soup. I love it, but it’s important to not be fooled by the name here. Chunky Chilli suggests that you are in for something hot and yet that could not really …

I haven’t had Starburst in a long time, possibly even years, until my brother bought a pack for me recently. I enjoyed it too, even though I’m not usually a fan of many fruity and chewy sweets especially since sometimes some of them seem a bit too sweet to …

I’ve been drinking ice tea for so long and I just prefer the product of Nestea. Nestea has a powder ice tea drink first, I loved it because I can be able to mix the powder the exact taste I want. And now that they made this ready to …

I’ve been enjoying the Peter’s Original Party Cake for many years now, since I was very young. I don’t eat it all that often though, only several times a year, usually when it’s someone in my family’s birthday. Perhaps this is the reason why I like it …

We ran out of saltine crackers last night and needed them for something I was making. So, I ended up running over to Aldi (since it was nearby at the time) and picking up a box from the brand Savoritz.
I wasn’t expecting much from this brand; mostly because I’m …

I’ve only seen Mr. Pudding pudding products at ALDI, and I think I know why: they just aren’t that good. I wasn’t impressed with the vanilla pudding, and the same can be said for the chocolate pudding, too. Four cups come in a pack and each cup is three …

I adore Nachos. It’s one of my favorite Mexican foods, second only to the taco. Unfortunately, I don’t get to have them very much, and it’s really hard to find it exactly how I like it. Still, when I decided to start testing out Oscar Mayer …

My roommate and I make eye-contact. We both know what’s up. Our gaze shifts to that jar with iconic blue lid that I just pulled out of a shopping bag. “SUPERCHUNK!!”
Now, I’m going to start off by saying that for most of my life, I have …

It was the Chinese New year, but my husband and I still needed to go out for business reasons. When we were cruising along Quezon Avenue, we passed by a restaurant with loud noises coming from the inside. Apparently there was a dragon dance and the place was very …

The Great American Cookies has been one of my must-go-to spots for getting some amazing cookies. I discovered them in a mall a few years back, and I have been hooked every since. The original chocolate chip cookie is just a long line of cookies that I would grow …

I was a bit surprised by Werther’s Original Caramel Chocolate Milk, but I think that was probably my own fault. I was in a hurry when I saw a package of these on sale at the grocery store and just gave it a cursory look before tossing it …

I am going to be very blunt when I describe Twizzlers because they are what they are, and there is no hiding that from the consumer. They are licorice with no taste; if there was a category of candy called boring candy, Twizzlers would feel right at home with …

Without a doubt, I enjoy cheese. I probably derive a bit too much satisfaction from eating cheese and could likely stand to cut back some on it, but when products like Sam’s Choice Cheese Sticks Mozzarella and Asiago exist on store shelves, my goodness is it ever difficult! I …

The list of chocolate desserts that I have tried out is really long because I really like chocolate desserts, specially these pudding type ones. Neuburger Chocolate dessert with cream is very high on my list because it is very tasty and because of another thing that is very important …

Sweetfire chicken is my one of the favorite dishes at Panda Express. I have never thought that pine apple and chicken would make such a wonderful combination. Panda Express has successfully blended the sweet tangy pine apple pieces into chicken and spices to make a juicy mouth watering dish.
As …

The other day while I was shopping at the Dollar General, I walked down one of their grocery aisles and saw they had only two bags of egg noodles on their shelf. Thinking they must be good if all of the other bags were sold out, I put the …

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 …

Kroger Kid-O’s Rich Mint Creme retail for two dollars and twenty-nine cents and more cookies come in a package than in the Oreo Cool Mint Creme package, which these cookies are modeled after. Almost twenty ounces, actually. I was very impressed with the Kroger store brand product and I …

I used to eat this cereal years ago, and I always used to enjoy it. I go through ups and downs with cereal, and lately I have not been in the mood to eat cereal. I’m not really sure why that is. But I always thought that Grape-Nuts was …

Although this trail mix has the word “spicy” in its name, I really don’t find this trail mix to be overly spicy. There’s a definite degree of hotness and sharpness to the trail mix, but it’s not enough to really set my mouth on fire or anything. It’s kind …
