Maggie noodles
Maggie is the 2-minute noodle, which is ready to make. We only need some amount of water to prepare. The Maggie noodles come with the tastemaker inside which is very tasty. It takes hardly 2 to 3 minutes to cook very tasty and hot noodles. …
Wrigley’s Fruit Sensations Sugarless Gum Strawberry Banana
During the warm months I like to do a lot of hiking. When I go hiking it is often my habit to chew gum in order to keep from getting dry mouth. I like to try different types and flavors of gum. Just recently I tried Wrigley’s Extra Fruit …
L’Oven White Bread
I picked up bread the other day thinking we didn’t have any at home. But, as it turns out, my wife convinced my parents to pick up some groceries for us since they were at the store anyway and she didn’t want to go out in the cold with …
Roasted & Salted Sunflower Nuts
Good Sense Roasted & Salted Sunflower Nuts come in a resealable plastic bag. I bought a 10 oz bag for something like $1.38, which I thought was a good price. The nuts come already peeled, so you won’t have to worry about that (although I know some people who …
Top Light Tobacco
I have been trying out loose tobacco for rolling my own cigarettes. With the economy in shambles, money is very tight for me and I am trying to save as much money as possible. I tried to quit smoking cold turkey, with no luck. I got four free packages …
Pillsbury prepackaged Chocolate Chip Coolies
I am definitely a huge chocolate chip cookie lover. Ironically, the only pre-packaged refrigerated cookies that I’d ever bought were Nestle or store bought from Kroger. I decided to pick up Pillsbury cookies because they were on sale. This is one of those brands that …
Panera Asiago Roast Beef Signature Sandwich
I have never had a truly delicious roast beef sandwich. When you say roast beef sandwich to other people, their mouths start to water like Pavlov’s dog; obviously, those people has had good roast beef in their day. As for me, roast beef reminds me of my …
Nestle Crunch Ice Cream
As I’ve said from my previous reviews, I’m a huge fan of chocolates, ice creams, coffees, and the random combination of these. Another delicious discovery of mine is the Nestle Crunch Ice Cream. Our family trusted Nestle from our choice of coffee, milk, creamer, …
Kellogg’s Special K Protein Meal Bars, Chocolate Peanut
Although these bars are a little light on the peanut butter flavor, I do enjoy having one from time to time. The chocolate flavor seems to dominate over the peanut butter flavor a bit, but I can still taste both flavors so I am happy. These protein bars are …
Our Family Baked Beans
We made Hamburgers the other night and my wife wanted me to pick up a can of baked beans on my way home to go with them.
I ended up at one of our local grocery stores; one of the more expensive ones when it comes to stuff like that. …
Extra Joss Energy Drink
I am a full time student in the morning and full time blogger during at night so I really need to stay focus and alert during this time. But sometimes, I can’t help myself but to feel dizzy and that is not cool at all. Time is gold and …
Cafe21, 2 in 1 instant white coffee mix, without sugar
I was never a fan of premixed coffee that usually comes in 3 in 1 forms. It is a combination of non-dairy creamer, sugar and instant coffee powder. They are either too sweet or too watery for my taste. I want to taste the coffee not …
Green Giant Teriyaki Stir-Fry
I have recently discovered a delicious, healthy, and very quickly and easily cooked meal. It is called Green Giant Teriyaki Stir-Fry. For $3.12, you get a bag of frozen vegetable mix (broccoli, sweet snap peas, red peppers and water chestnuts) with a packet of teriyaki sauce inside. You will …
Little Debbie Pumpkin Muffins
Little Debbie Pumpkin Muffins are quite good, in my opinion. I like pumpkin flavor, and these muffins boast a fairly delightful pumpkin flavor in each and every bite. The pumpkin flavor is rich and very real. Not quite as rich or real as the pumpkin flavor found in say …
Pillsbury Garlic Butter Crescent
When it comes to lasagna and spaghetti, I think the best bread is anything with garlic flavor. For me, it somehow enhances the flavor of the tomato sauce. I’ve tried all types of garlic bread and rolls, but I wanted to give the Pillsbury garlic butter crescent a chance …
Milka Snowballs
Although Milka Snowballs look as if they were intended for children I was really excited when I saw them at the store. They were not cheap, I paid three Euro for four chocolate balls but I just had to try them. They looked so appealing at the store that I …
Springbank Cheese Company
This weekend, I finally visited one of the places I have been wanting to see for some time now, the Springbank Cheese Company. It is advertised as one of Calgary’s premier cheese stores, and as cheese is one of the highlights of my life, I was looking forward to it. …
Taco Bell Chicken Soft Taco (Canada)
The Taco Bell chicken soft taco (Canadian version) makes for a nice lunch. It contains seasoned chicken, lettuce, tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and avacado ranch dressing in a white flour tortilla. The flavors are well balanced but maybe a little salty. The avacado ranch dressing is really the star …
Klean Kanteen water bottle
Get rid of your Nalgene water bottle and go buy yourself a Klean Kanteen. These lightweight steel bottles hold any liquid you want to drink from spring water to tomato soup.
Unlike a Nalgene bottle, there are no lingering tastes or scents of what you carried in the Klean Kanteen …
Deli Pride Fish & Cheese Sandwich
I went home for lunch today and decided to raid the freezer again and make a quick meal using a Deli Pride Fish & Cheese Sandwich I had purchased from Save-a-Lot a few days ago.
I wasn’t expecting too much from this 99 cent lunch. And, to be perfectly honest, …
Tomato Garlic Basil Chips from Lays
If ever you are in the mood for a crunchy, salty, yet healthy snack that is jammed packed with flavor and yumminess to satisfy your hunger. Then you should look no further than the Tomato Garlic Basil Chips from Lays. Not only is this snack guaranteed to satisfy that …
Banquet TV dinners
When I was a kid my mom would on occasion buy Banquet TV dinners for us and I loved them. I think Banquet was one of the first companies to offer them. Anyway, I remember the fried chicken dinners were pretty good overall. They actually tasted like real food …
McCormick Mild Taco sauce
I make tacos a lot and I have tried several different sauces but I certainly have to say that my most favorite taco sauce is McCormick Mild Taco Sauce. This sauce is sold in a package and I usually pay about 1 dollar for the package. McCormick …
Almond Cakes from Pastelaria Koi Kei
Macau is famous for its almond cakes and it is common to see people coming back from a trip to Macau bringing boxes of them home. The most famous bakery where you can buy the almond cakes is called Pastelaria Koi Kei. I have only been to …
Pinahs Rye Chips —“ Garlic
Pinahs Rye Chips —“ Garlic is my favorite of the four flavors available. I had a feeling that I would really enjoy this flavor because I really enjoy garlic in general, and I was pleased to find that the makers of this chip treated the chips with a generous …
Applebee’s BBQ Pork Sliders
When I was in Florida, I had the privilege of tasting some really good BBQ pork sandwiches. After all, in Miami, they know what good pork should taste like. I can’t say the same for Applebee’s; they definite lack the concept of how to make a proper …
Kellogg’s Smorz
I like smorz, but honestly, this cereal just cannot measure up to the real thing. Oh, it is good cereal, do not get me wrong, but I think those that enjoy smorz will taste the difference and the difference is a little disappointing. The marshmallow and chocolate flavor are …
Pizza Hut WingStreet Wedge Fries
I just did another review for Pizza Hut WingStreet Wings, a product I’d just purchased for the first time. I really don’t know why I decided to buy the chicken, but I suspect a part of it was seeing these Pizza Hut WingStreet Wedge Fries advertised on their …
Fita Biscuits
I love to have afternoon snacks. I also like to eat small frequent foods. One of my favorites would be crackers. That is why if I am not munching on Sky Flakes, I would definitely get a pack of Fita biscuits instead. A pack of Fita costs around $1 …
Wendy’s - Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger
Wendy’s - Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger is a good alternative for me if I do not want something that is as heavy as the Baconator sandwich. This sandwich is quite a bit smaller, yet it can still help to make for a satisfying lunch if I add a cup of …
Taco Bell Cherry Limeade Sparkler
I love a good freebie, so when Taco Bell handed out free coupons to try their new limeade drink, I couldn’t pass it up.
This new Taco Bell drink comes in a lime and cherry flavor. I went back and forth on which one to try, but ultimately settled …

Albertson’s Whipped Salad Dressing
Albertson’s makes a whipped salad dressing that taste superb. It sells for thirty three cents at the local United Grocery Outlet Store in Crossville, Tennessee. It comes in a 16 ounces jar that has 32 servings per container with about 70 calories per serving which is comparable to …
KFC Mashed Potatoes
For some people mashed potatoes and gravy are a staple in their diet. For me potato salad is usually more my style. There are very few mashed potato recipes that I would eat and enjoy and KFC Mashed Potatoes and gravy falls into that category.
I never ordered mashed potatoes …
Pillsbury Puff Pastry
When you love to cook and bake just like me, you will definitely love to experiment with food. You will also develop a strong love for stuff or ingredients that are versatile and can be used in different recipes. Pillsbury Puff Pastry is one of my favorites. Pillsbury being …
Diet Pepsi with Cherry
I have been drinking diet soda for about three years now, after becoming addicted during a diet phase. The syrupy aftertaste of normal soda just does not cut it for me now, so I have been sugar-free for nearly the same amount of time. I have also been a …
Sam’s Choice Purified Drinking Water
Most people prefer Dasani or Aquafina water, or another type that is not generic. I, however, enjoy drinking Sam’s Choice Purified Drinking Water. This is the brand that is sold as Wal-mart, and I’d imagine it’s also sold at Sam’s Club. It sells for quite a …
Maggie noodles
My husband is a food lover and he always insists me to prepare different kinds of food for him. Even my kids love to taste different kinds of food. Last week I tried Maggie noodles for the first time. I prepared it in the evening as …
Totino’s Combination Pizza Rolls
Pizza is a food that is enjoyed in my house be each and every member of the family. Since we all like pizza we decided to try the Totino’s pizza rolls that we had seen advertised on TV. When we went to the store I noticed that there were …
Taco Bell Volcano Taco
I like spicy food, crunchy tacos, and nacho cheese, so I thought I would like Taco Bell’s Volcano Taco for sure. Unfortunately, I was wrong. The Volcano Taco was very disappointing, and I’m glad I had the rest of their box meal to fall back on.
I found the …
Lay’s Sea Salt and Pepper potato chips
These potato chips are very nice. They are light and crispy - very thinly sliced, and the pepper flavour is very delicate - not at all overwhelming. The sea salt is nice, too - the saltiness of any potato chip is important, but I don’t like it when they …
Tang Strawberry Powdered Juice Drink
Tang Strawberry is one of the flavors of Tang Powdered Juice. I tried it after I was satisfied with the previous flavors. I decided to try all of Tang’s variety of flavors. I really thought this brand have the ability to perfect all kinds of flavors, reducing every fruit …
Starbucks Via Ready Brew Cinnamon Spice Flavored Instant Coffee
Given that I have decided to give Starbucks instant coffee a chance, I recently tried their Cinnamon Spice variety. This is just basically instant coffee with cinnamon powder, ginger, molasses and cinnamon. In order to make it, all I had to do is boil some water and then add …
Stouffer’s Salisbury Steak
Stouffer’s Salisbury Steak is decent, although by no means magnificent or delicious. The steak has a fairly good flavor to it, although it is not quite as tender as I would have liked it to be. The onion gravy does help to moisten the steak and make it easier …
K Rogers Danish Style Butter Cookies
We got these delicious cookies as a Diwali present from our landlord. We were thankful for the sweets they have given us and so I was able to write a review about K Rogers Danish Style Butter Cookies.
Most of canned cookies here are imports from other country so the …
Baker’s Corner 4-in-1 Halloween Sprinkle Jar Spooky Sprinkles
Baker’s Corner 4-in-1 Halloween Sprinkle Jar Spooky Sprinkles is a product I came across while at an ALDI Food Market store. The price of the sprinkles seemed a little high at three dollars a jar, but the sprinkles were awfully attractive and the jar was a decent size, containing …
Bisquick Pancake and Baking Mix
I have tried other pancake mixes, as well as baking mixes. I came back to Bisquick. Bisqick just makes a better pancake, as well as good waffles. I also use bisquick to make bread, cinnamon rolls, bisquits, and any thing else that requires a great dough. My pie crusts …
Reasor’s Grocery Stores
I love Reasor’s stores. The kids they hire are friendly and more outgoing than the usual places. They are all dressed in their whites and jeans. However, the prices of everything in those stores are so high. For example, Totino’s pizzas are about 50 cents more than Wal Mart. …
Sainsbury’s Basics Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
Baked beans in tomato sauce are about the most basic of all basics when it comes to British cooking, since we eat far more baked beans than just about any other country in the world. Sainsbury’s budget “Basics” range therefore carries a fairly good selection of similar products, but …
Jack Burger at the J Grill
The Grill, an extension of the “J” cafeteria at Humboldt State University, serves hamburgers five nights a week. They don’t make a burger until you order it, so it is always fresh.
The Jack burger is $1.25 with a meal plan or $3.75 if you are paying with cash. …
