Talenti Gelato Sicilian Pistachio
Talenti is my favorite brand of gelato or ice cream, and despite the high price, I typically seek it out at the grocery store above all other ice creams. The Sicilian Pistachio flavor is my favorite for any time of the year because its sweet and nutty with a …
Kraft Philadelphia Whipped Cream Cheese

DREYER’S DIBS ICE CREAM TREAT
Dreyer’s Dibs bite sized ice cream snacks are delicious! They are vanilla with chocolate on the covering, and come in bite sized pieces. There are 26 pieces in the little red soft container and taste like having bon bons.
Children love them, as they are small enough to fit into …
Sierra Mist Free Softdrink
Generally, I do not enjoy most diet soft drinks. I dislike the aftertaste and it just reminds me that diets are all about denial, meaning that these products are created for the express purpose of disallowing me pleasure.
With the idea of doing things to improve my health, I reluctantly …
Breakfast Burrito from Sonic’s new $1 Menu
The other day my wife told me that Sonic’s now has a dollar menu. That’s always good news to me, I like cheap food. This morning on the way to work I stopped by Sonic’s and tried the breakfast burrito off the dollar menu. I wasn’t insanely impressed with …
Eggo: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bake Shop Mini Muffin Tops
Eggo: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bake Shop Mini Muffin Tops are terrible. They simply are. To my taste buds, these mini muffin tops are almost totally tasteless and plus, because they are so small, eating one does nothing for me at all. I know that these are not intended to …
Nestea Flavors
Its been a long time since I have tried to drink an Iced Tea. I guess I might have already even forgotten how good it tastes. I have seen so many new flavors there are in the market. There are new flavors of iced tea from Nestea company like …

Birds Eye Steamfresh Shrimp Alfredo

The difference with the Steamfresh …

The Stofers Lasagna Italiano is a frozen food dish that is available in your local freezer at any supermarket and if you have never had it I believe that you should avoid it. This is a new version of Lasagna which has three different kinds of cheese and to …
Heads or Tails Oreo’s
I am a firm believe that if something works there is no need to change it. So when I saw the new experimenting being done to the classic Oreo cookies, I was just a little perplexed as to what would make them suddenly change the chocolate outside vanilla inside? …
Chop Sticks Sweet and Salt Prunes
During my childhood, while going to school, salt prunes were a popular thing. Since my childhood days I haven’t eaten salt prunes much but I can tell you they come in a variety of saltiness, ranging from very salty to almost sweet…
The other day while I was going on …

Orville Redenbacher’s Movie Theater Butter Microwave Popcorn
I love popcorn and watching movies, so when I picked up some videos at Blockbuster Video I also grabbed some popcorn from my local grocery store. I love lots of butter on my popcorn so the “movie theater butter” flavor really appealed to me.
I have tried many other …
Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix

Oreo Cookies
Oreo Cookies are pretty tasty, but I do not eat them any longer. The reason I stopped eating these cookies is it is a real pain to clean my teeth after having even just a few! I have never had a cookie that has left such a mess all …
El Monterey Burritos

My Fruit Rollups
Okay, I may have found a snack that I just don’t understand. I’m too old, I’m sure. That has to be the reason. They say two year olds are often smarter than adults in handling technology. It’s like second nature to them. Well, maybe …
Purified Tap Water - Water filters
Lots of things are said about bottled water these days, mostly negative. Many water companies mislead consumers by using words like “artesian” and natural on their labels. Check out the sources of these waters and often you will find out that there water comes from more than …
Dollar Tree Bakery Fresh Molasses Cookies
I’ve only come across these cookies at the Dollar Tree. They sell a couple different varieties, and they’re all pretty good. Molasses cookies tend to be really chewy because of, well, the molasses. These cookies are no exception. They are indeed very chewy, and they are especially good when …
Yummy Earth Organic Lollipops
I haven’t been a kid in a long time and my candy preferences generally run more toward high cocoa content dark chocolate than “lollies” but I received a Yummy Earth Organic Lollipop sample in an order of herbal shampoo, of all things, and gave it a try. WOW! Within …
Aunt Jemima Whole Grain Pancakes
Aunt Jemima Whole Grain Pancakes are absolutely terrible! I decided to give them a try because they offer a source of whole grain, something of which is good for one’s body, but let me say, while the whole grain might be good for my body, these pancakes are not …
Idahoan Loaded Baked Mashed Potatoes
Idahoan instant mashed potatoes come in a variety of flavors; the latest I we have tried is Loaded Baked, flavored with butter, sour cream, cheese, onion, and bacon. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it? Now that I have tried this dish, I can say that it tastes delicious as well.
Just like …

The Del Monte Sweet …
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Daquiri
Jell-o Gelatin - Strawberry Daquiri is part of a failed line - in my opinion - of gelatin desserts that try to take a popular adult beverage and transform that beverage into a gelatin treat that retains the flavor of the drink while making it acceptable for all ages. …
Smart Ones - Chicken Enchiladas Suiza
The Smart Ones - Chicken Enchiladas Suiza is a good little lunch for the money. You can usually find it at Walmart where I live for under $2.00. I just ate one for lunch today, as a matter of fact.
Pros: This is a tasty lunch. …

Toaster Scrambles
I recently bought a box of Pillsbury Toaster Scrambles for our house, figuring they would be a quick breakfast that would hopefully be both filling and great tasting.
Well, after trying them the past couple of days, I can honestly say it only got one of the three right.
First of …

Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt in Strawberry

‘Four Roses’ Bourbon
I am a sucker for a decent drink, whether it be a good beer, a pleasant wine, or a glass of something warming on a cold, winter’s day. In this case, many years ago, I discovered a drink which is available over here, but not widely so. This is …
Lindt Milk and nuts small chocolate
When I was younger I adored chocolate with nuts but later I just stopped liking it. I don’t know why. Than about 2 months ago I rediscovered it. This my rediscovery didn’t happen with Lindt Milk and nuts chocolate but with some other one from another brand but once …
Target’s Market Pantry Pure Honey
I bought this bottle of honey the other month when I came down with a sore throat. And if you ever had a raw sore throat you know exactly how much it can hurt. I felt pain with every swallow and it kept me awake all night, too. I …
Sunnyside Farms Chocolate Sundae Cups
I’ve been buying sundae cups for many years and I’ve purchased different brands of them as well. For the first time, I purchased Sunnyside Farms Chocolate Sundae Cups. Sunnyside Farms is a store brand, and it’s one I’ve never been fond of. Still, every now and …
Kashi Tuscan Veggie Bake
The photo on the package looked inviting. Lasagna noodles with veggies stuffed in between and a nice-looking red sauce graced the top of the entrée. I had another Kashi frozen dinner before and had enjoyed it, so I was inclined to give the Tuscan Veggie Bake a try.
After having …
Snapp’s Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

Hilo Value Chinese Soy Sauce
One thing that I like about the brand Hilo is that they have released a few good quality products and sold them at a price that is lower than any other brand at most Hilo supermarkets I have visited islandwide. However, there are still one or two Hilo …
Bounty candy bar
I grew to like Bounty chocolate bars during my visits to Europe. It is a British product, somewhat like Mounds: coconut-filled bars covered with chocolate. The packaging is different though, Bounty is usually sold as a snickers-sized bar, with two separate, smaller bars inside. Bounty is available with milk …
Spaghetti with Roasted Crabs
If you love mixing up your spaghetti with different add-ons, consider roasted crabs. It is a good option, and quite nutritious, I must say. Crabs are a real good alternative rather than just meat, chicken and fish.
If you go anywhere like in restaurants and stuff, it’s …
Hawaiian Punch Lemon Berry Squeeze Juice
I remember always drinking Hawaiian Punch as child. My favorite flavor was lemon berry squeeze and I loved the taste and the fruitiness. I always drunk it when I was thirsty, but as an adult now, I don’t favor it much as I used to. Hawaiian Punch is very …

Echo Mint Chocolate Bars

Crystal Light Energy - On the Go

The latest is their Crystal Light Energy On the Go packages. This is the absolute most convenient …
Splenda French Vanilla Flavor Blend for Coffee
