One of the great classics of the breakfast cereal world, if I can use that perhaps slightly overblown expression, is Kellogg’s Rice Krispies. This has been a favourite all over the world for very many years now, and there is no real mystery as to why - it is …

I have long been a fan of Dr. Oetker desserts, and when their pizza went on sale at my local grocery store I quickly bought Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Funghi. To be honest, I had to laugh at the ‘Funghi’ part of the name as this is simply a …

A lot of hot chocolate mixes actually don’t mix well, and then you get either lumps of powder that float to the top, or a big gloppy mess on the bottom. But this mix mixes right in, and I find it very easy to use - you just stir …

I went to the grocery store the other day and came across something in a red and yellow package which was also semi-clear in parts. Through these clear parts I could see something which seems to be chocolate covered. I only assumed these were another brand of imported rolled …

Like many of us who could stand to lose a few pounds, I’ve always been on the lookout for a new exercise routine or weight-loss alternative. However, I’ve always been a bit sceptical about diet fads such as protein shakes and bio-yogurt, so I wasn’t expecting much when a …

I picked up this packet of milk chocolate caramels, not noticing that it was Thorntons chocolate, from a wide choice at Morrisons supermarket. The packet is red and did not look particularly special, apart from the Thorntons logo showing that it is made by those chocolate specialists I …

In this recession, there have been very few companies posting profits. Among those few profitable companies, Domino’s has been thriving. I think I may have stumbled across one of the reasons why, and it comes in a little cardboard box.
Currently in my area (Fredericksburg, VA), Domino’s is …

I can not help it. I am a Sweet N Low fan. Prior to the invention of Splenda, and Equal, Sweet N Low was the only noncaloric sweetner around. While it does leave a strong after taste that generally doesn’t appeal to people who tend to …

I bought Michelina’s Rice Pilaf Florentine dinner, for something different to eat. This dinner is from Michelina’s Avantage line, they do not call it ‘diet food’, or ‘weight maintenance food’although that is exactly what this Avantage line is.
I thought it would be a tasty dinner, and boy was I …
