Kellogg’s YoGos Variety Pack
I like a YoGo every now and then as I find them to be refreshing and flavorful. The yogurt covering these fruit snacks is soft and does not weigh me down after I have a pouch. The two flavors that come in this variety pack are pretty good, too. …

Grey Goose is a type of vodka that is normally worth around thirty dollars. I understand this is a major problem for most people who care about what they spend their money on. I am not afraid to admit the fact that I am avid drinker. I like to …
Tesco Crunchy Peanut Butter
I must admit I’m a peanut butter fanatic. I’ll eat it on toast, in sandwiches with jam and in quite a few other variations. My favorite brand was Sunkist, and I say WAS because for some reason it began to lose its special taste and texture that I …
Nescafe Gold
I love coffee! Actually I can be considered as coffee-addict already. Why?
I cannot function without a cup of coffee first. I’m not a morning person, but had no choice but to wake up at six in the morning to prepare for work. Coffee particularly Nescafe Gold wakes up my …
Charles Rum and Raisin Chocolate
I drink alcohol on occasions and I never drink enough to get drunk. But I do like the taste when it is just there in the background as a subtle flavoured blended into a drink or even dessert.
One day while shopping I ran across a new chocolate bar made …

Synopsis: A box of toaster pastries offered at select grocery store as a cheaper alternative to the more popular Pop Tart brand. I purchased a box of 8 pastries (four packages of 2) for $1.75.

Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Butter Pecan
I am not too fond of Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Butter Pecan. The ice cream is certainly edible and to an extent enjoyable, however the butter pecan flavor is not really quite as rich as I was hoping it would be. I expected the flavor to be richer …

I have slowly been adding more soy products to my daily diet over the last couple of years but hadn’t progressed to eating soy desserts. One day when I was looking for a new dessert to put with a dinner I was having with a friend, I came across …

The product …

Cloverhill Bakery - Golden Pound Cake
The Cloverhill Bakery - Golden Pound Cake is nothing all that remarkable. I have had pound cakes from a number of companies and they all basically taste the same to me, which is no surprise since the ingredients seldom vary. As for this pound cake, well, it is certainly …
Kit Kat strawberry bar
I loooove Kit Kat bars (mint Kit Kats and peanut butter Kit Kats are the ones I could sell my soul for), but I had to teach myself not to eat those XXL chocolate bars every day for the sake of my health. Gradually, I stopped buying them at all, …

There is just something amazing about the aroma of toasted coconut and the chewy texture and …

Blue Bunny’s Red Velvet Ice Cream

Sainsbury’s Harvest Grain Continental Bread Rolls
I love brown bread and obviously it has more fibre and health vitamins than white bread, but some brown rolls can taste a little bland and are a chore to eat. These on the other hand, are delicious and every bit as nice as a white continental bread …
Maxwell House Half Caff Original Roast Coffee
I have already tried Maxwell House before as a coffee brand. That was the flavored variety. I always love flavored coffee during ordinary days but there that days when you really want a high doze of concentrated caffeinated coffee to perk you up. Sadly, when I tried this, I was …
Ronzoni Bistro Rotini with Tomato and Basil

Bounty Chocolate Bars
The Bounty chocolate bar is absolute classic confectionary and I bought one recently for the first time in years - I have been concentrating on trying the newer bars I suppose. These are manufactured by American company, Mars, although they are apparently not so widely available in the …

Mountain Dew Energy
Considering the popularity of energy drinks such as Red Bull, it should come as no surprise that Mountain Dew is jumping on the energy drink bandwagon. Their offering, Mountain Dew Energy, has this to their advantage: the price. While Red Bull and similar products are all over-priced, …
Edwards Chocolate Creme Pie Singles made with Hershey’s

Spaans Spiced Windmill Sugar-Free Cookies
Once more, for the third time exploring my near diabetic Papa’s arsenal of store-bought holiday treats, we have Spaans Sugar Free Spiced Windmill cookies next on the buffet line. (For clearer context, see my other Spaans cookie reviews, such as Lemon Chiffon and Ginger Bars.)
So…how does this latest “commandeered …
Tost K plus bread
This bread comes in a transparent wrapping, the slices are really thin and although the subtitle on the wrapping says bread with prolonged freshness I’d rather call it extra dry bread. There are 20 really dry slices in the wrapping and if you don’t have bread at home and …

Jif Creamy Peanut Butter
So nothing special this time. Just the most popular peanut butter in the US. Maybe the second most popular, oк the third, I haven’t really checked the ratings. But for me, this is the best creamy peanut butter from the store so far. A few weeks ago I got on …
2007 St. Clements Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley
I’m not much of a white wine drinker because it’s often too sweet for me, so I asked the wine shop owner to recommend me a good, not-to-sweet white wine. He recommended this one, and I’m definitely a fan.
Although it doesn’t have the delicate notes of citrus or …
Snickers Bars With Almonds
When I first saw Snickers bars with almonds, I thought, “that’s the thing for my husband.” He hates peanuts, so he wouldn’t touch regular snickers bars. So I bought some of this new almond variety. I was right, my husband did enjoy them. As to myself, I prefer regular …
Mom’s Best Toasted Cinnamon Squares Cereal
