My favorite cereal brand of all time is Kellogg’s. I’ve grown up with them and they have the most varieties that I love. That said, I tend to like the ones that aren’t necessarily the healthiest. However, when I have chosen to eat something that isn’t …

When products are flavored with Splenda, I acutally do enjoy them. They generally do not have that infamous diet taste, but rather closely resemble products that are made with regular sugar. I have found that the benefit of Splenda is that it obtains far less calories, and …

Chex Mix Select Snack Mix Dark Chocolate comes in a five point five ounce bag and sells for two dollars and seventy-nine cents a bag. I personally think the price on this snack mix is too high even though I did find the snack mix to be relatively enjoyable …

Nescafe Gold Blend is an instant coffee that I have been buying for years as it is a reliable, quality coffee. It is marketed as a premium instant coffee and you may remember the sexy Gold Blend ad campaign of the 90s aimed at a social-climbing, middle-class audience. …

On the packet, the subtitle to ‘Cadbury Shortcake Biscuits’ is ‘for chocolate lovers’ as the shortcake is half covered in thick Cadbury milk chocolate. I had gone to the shop with a yearning for Chocolate Hob Nobs and came back with these as they had no Hob Nobs. …

I really like creamy hummus. The creamier, the better, in my …

I love how the …

It’s nothing new when we hear of parents having difficulty trying to get their children to eat their vegetables. We all know how essential veggies are to one’s health and nutrition for young and old alike. Funny though, how we wonder why most of our offspring prefer meat to …

Albertsons Frozen Mixed Vegetables are enjoyable in some ways and disappointing in other ways. For example, the corn and carrots are both on the dull side. The carrots have at least some flavor, but the corn might as well not even be there because they contribute nothing, pretty much. …

If there is one noodle brand I love, that would be Nissin Yakisoba spicy Chicken. I just adore the flavor so much that I make sure I have it in our pantry all the time. Compared to other instant noodles out there which are mostly bland and tasteless, Nissin …

Let’s face it, when it comes to breakfast pastries the crescent has it in the bag. There is just something about how flimsy it is and the flakiness you get when you break it in half. Pillsbury is the only brand I’ll buy when it comes to crescents and …

I was never really big on dried food–and still not to be honest–until I had the opportunity to try the Philippine dried mango. I found it on a trip to super Wal-Mart which turned out to be an impulsive buy. I don’t like dried fruit, but I like mango.
The …
