Sahale Snacks
I tried this at a friend’s house, and regrettably have not been able to find it anywhere else - no grocery store around here seems to carry it.
The Valdosta blend (I assume that Sahale Snacks has more than the one kind of snack mix) is made up of pecans, …
Chiki Ball Snack
I know this product since i was a little kid. At that time, there were not so much snacks like this. There was only this Chiki Balls, Taro, Chitato, Chetoos and Jetzet. Each brand have their own strength.

Piattos Roadhouse Barbecue Chips
Piattos Roadhouse Barbecuq is a new flavor of the “Piattos” potato chips. I have always enjoyed eating Piattos as a child and I have never outgrown enjoying this snack even if there are quite a lot of competitors around selling snacks much cheaper than that of Piattos. Piattos is …
Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Muffins
Although Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Muffins definitely contain a richer amount of blueberry flavor than the one-hundred calorie blueberry muffins, the flavor is still not nearly as impressive as the Little Debbie Blueberry Muffins. Whereas the Little Debbie muffins off an explosive degree of blueberry taste that really excite my …
Betty Crocker Super Moist Carrot Cake
Every since I had the carrot cake made by the Publix bakery, I’ve been hooked on them every since. Luckily for me, my friend Betty Crocker never runs short of her supply of carrot cake mix.

Lean Cuisine Oriental Beef Stirfry
On my quest for low fat healthy dinners, I recently bought Lean Cuisine’s Oriental Beef Stirfry dinner for $2.99CDN.

The meal looked great on the cardboard box. Lot’s …
Solen Triplex
This wafer with milk and Cocoa cream and Hazelnut ingredients was kind a calling me from the shelf so I had to buy it. When I was smaller my father used to buy me a similar product which I really adored but I can’t find it anywhere any more …
Simply Orange Orange Juice
While everyone knows of Tropicana Orange Juice, there is a new one out that exceeds Tropicana in taste and price and pulp. Simply Orange orange juice has such a better taste than tropicana you would think that you just finished squeezing the oranges yourself. Its 100% natural …

I just got the first flowers on my first Lemon Basil plant grown from seed. The scent is great, you can smell it when you water the plant, if you touch it, or if the wind catches it just right it makes the leaves rub together and releases the …
Pepsi-Cola throwback
Pepsi has now come out with it’s throwback, trying to get sales by going back to using real sugar instead of the now used corn syrup. The product tastes very good but is not as sweet as the regular Pepsi. I have really looked forward to this coming out, …
Wrigley’s Doublemint
Just a few weeks ago, I discovered that there are Wrigley’s Doublemint sugarfree mints in canisters available at the grocery store I frequent, Shopwise —“ Pasong Tamo corner Vito Cruz Streets, Makati City.
Each 8.4 oz. canister contains 35 mints and costs P 78.50. This is quite expensive for mints …
Gelatelli Strawberry ice cream
In my family cheap ice creams aren’t very popular. My parents and my sister would rather buy a very expensive ice cream just once a week than several cheaper ice creams so that they could eat ice cream every day in the week. I am not like that …
Lipton Milk Tea
When I went to Nepal a few years back, I came to like their national drink of milk tea. I asked a tour guide how it was prepared, and after I was treated to a lengthy discussion, I concluded that I had no chance on making this one from …
Hershey’s Dark Chocolate 100 Calorie Bar

Count Chocula energy drink
Count Chocula energy drink? Are you kidding me?!
What the—?!
I had no idea that there WAS a Count Chocula Energy Drink! That sounds like one of the most stupid ideas that I have ever heard of.
I can’t believe that this is a reality! Gah! That just defies the state …
Mrs. Freshley’s Winter: Holiday Powdered Mini Donuts
Although there is really nothing all that spectacular about Mrs. Freshley’s Winter: Holiday Powdered Mini Donuts, I nonetheless find them to be a satisfying and delectable snack to have around the winter season. There is nothing holiday or winter-like about these donuts, aside from the decorative box. The donuts …
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 …
Eight O’Clock Coffee
I want to recommend Eight O’Clock Coffee, 100% Colombian whole bean.

Grilled Baja Chicken at O’Charley’s Restaurant
This delicious satisfying dish is sadly only offered during the summer months. But when it’s available, I made a mad dash for the door. There are a number of things that’s appealing about this dish. First, the price is very affordable for what you get. …
Aunt Jemima Original Syrup
Aunt Jemima Original Syrup is a long used product in my household. It’s one of a few syrups we’ve used over the decades. It made perfect sense to use the syrup since Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Mix was what we always bought. It was a natural fit.
Nowadays, …
Diet Barq’s Root Beer
Barq’s hast bite. So goes the slogan for Barq’s root beer and one that is quite true. It has a much more pungent flavor than the other root beers on the market (such as A&W or Hires). Diet Barq’s tries to keep the bite even in …
Publix soft drinks (sodas)

The Vitamin Shoppe Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Campbell’s Chunky Manhattan Clam Chowder Soup
Hey gentle reader folk, guess what time it is?
It’s blatantly fake lunch pail time again!
Once more, I’m working on my fitness and diet to “pre-treat” the bad holiday habits with soup. On the docket today is Campbell’s Chunky Manhattan Clam Chowder. Is it a good product? Is it a …
Argentina Corned Beef
I’m not really a fan of corned beef, but I decided to buy one to have something to eat at home that’s easy to cook. It’s also good to have something that doesn’t easily spoil even if it’s not refrigerated. Out of all the local brands of corned beef …
Gerber Graduates Lil Crunchies Mild Cheddar Flavor
These miniature Cheeto-type snacks were my baby’s first finger foods. I was worried at first because of choking issues but that went away fairly quickly. He seemed to really enjoy these and would suck on them at first, until he got the hang of chewing. They resemble short little …
Old Dutch Potato Chips
My favorite brand of potato chips is Old Dutch. They come in quite a few varieties, like plain, dill pickle, and sour cream and onion. They also come in either regular style of ripple. Their plain potato chips come in boxes, and the variety flavors come …
Healthy Way All Natural Vegetable Oil
My family and I have stopped using vegetable oil for years mainly because we have heard that coconut oil is better for ne’s arteries, from various local nutritionists. However, coconut cooking oil can be much more expensive and at times is even hjarder to come by, and that …
Grandessa Signature Frozen Fruit Bars Strawberry
Grandessa Signature Frozen Fruit Bars Strawberry aren’t the best. I kind of expected more from the frozen fruit bars because the packaging stated that they were all natural and filled with real strawberries. When I took a bite into one of these frozen fruit bars though, what I got …
Red Baron Pizza by the Slice
Product Description: Red Baron frozen pizza sold in single-serve slices that can be microwaved. My wife bought this for around $3.50 yesterday.
What I liked about this product: Well, I like Red Baron pizza but making one in the oven is pretty much out of the question when it comes …
Coke Zero
I do not really enjoy drinking softdrinks or sodas as much as others may have. I’d say I do drink once in a while when I am out on a dinner or lunch with friends. But most of the time I would still be caught drinking iced teas or …
Blue Bunny No Sugar Added Fat Free Brownie Sundae Ice Cream
Ice Cream is one of those indulgences that I could probably live on. Unfortunately I seriously doubt it would be a nutritionally sound idea. With that being said, when I saw the container of Blue Bunny No Sugar Added Fat Free Brownie Sundae ice cream in the freezer case …
Rombauer Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
I don’t consider myself a professional when it comes to evaluating wine. However, I do live in California and I have I think been exposed wine tastings and enjoyed different wines over the last ten years. I do think my palette has developed in that time.
My boyfriend brought this …
Jell-o Gelatin - Margarita
Jell-o Gelatin - Margarita is one of the select few gelatin flavors that I simply do not find enjoyable. Everything that a margarita drink is, this gelatin really is not, simply because it cannot be. Unlike many of the other gelatin flavors, which are derived or based off of …
Bakery Fresh Peanut Butter Cookies
The weather is turning icy around here, so we went to the Dollar General to stock up on things that we might need if we can’t get out of the house for a few days. Of course these essentials included comfort/junk food. Peanut butter cookies is one of the …
Little Jack Horner Homemade Meat Pies
