Schogetten Praline Noisettes chocolates
I am quite a fan of the Schogetten range of chocolate, which is easily available, at least in most of Europe, from Aldi and Lidl stores. In my case I tend to go to Aldi, but that is simply because it is the closer of the two to where …
Bake House Halloween Cinnamon Twists
The Bake House Halloween Cinnamon Twists are almost identical to the Bake House Halloween Cinnamon Rolls. The only difference that sets the two apart is how differently they are shaped. The cinnamon twists are long and thin, and the dough appears to have been twisted in spirals while the …
Zipfizz energy drink-mix powder
I was surprised to find, during my grocery shopping at my local Wal-Mart, an energetic, bright-eyed woman of about thirty-five years of age, giving out samples of Zipfizz. She described it as a “healthier alternative to energy drinks by providing you with important vitamins and minerals!”

It’s been a long time since I had a drink of Whiteway’s Peardrax. But yesterday while I was out yesterday the sun was extremely hot and I decided to get myself a drink. I choose a small bottle of Whiteway’s Peardrax from the cooling fridge.
As I opened the bottle …
Planters Nutrition Almonds - Lightly Salted

If you have a fruit mixer, it would be extremely easy to make Fresh Orange Juice pretty much.
Although it is way much easier to buy a fresh bottle of orange juice that needs to be add water or just the pure fresh orange juice bottle that you can …
Crush Grape Soda
I ultimately decided to try Crush Grape after having positive results with their original flavor called Crush Orange. My neighborhood Albertson was running a sale on two liter bottles of Crush Grape for a $1.69. Now when it comes to fruit flavored soda, I tend to go initially for …
Little Debbie Marshmallow Pies - Chocolate
I like these Little Debbie Marshmallow Pies - Chocolate variety more than the banana variety because at least these chocolate flavored ones have some flavor! The chocolate flavor is much richer and more authentic than the banana variety. Where as with the banana variety, the banana flavor was detrimental, …
Joy Ice Cream Cups
Unfortunately for me, my favorite grocery store has changed brands again, something they do from time to time, only this time it’s definitely not a good thing. The product in question is a box of ice cream cones. I really liked the other brand they carried, but …
Kashi GoLean Chewy Cookies and Cream Protein and Fiber Bar
Kashi often makes good and healthy cereals and snacks. When I bought this product, I was looking for something that would taste indulgent and still be healthful.

I remember as a kid loving a cheese snack called ‘cornies’. The Kroger brand of Baked Cheese Curls is a product that is as good or better than the snack I remember for my childhood. The product comes in a 7 ounce bag, and the store often has the …
Coca-Cola Zero
I cannot drink full-sugar soft drinks, so I am always looking for new “diet” alternatives. I was excited to try Coca-Cola Zero. It has a good cola taste without being too sweet and syrup-like. I think it is more similar to regular Coca-Cola than it is …
Kurkure
KurKure is another snack, which is very light and crispy. And the different flavourers of kurkure are good and spicy. Particularly the tasty and tangy imli flavour of the kurkure is my favourite. We can also make the very interesting recipe using the tomato, cucumber and …

Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked Ice-Cream
During the warm months of summer, I have a great excuse to buy my favourite store-bought ice-cream. Although I keep trying new flavours, Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked remains my very favourite. I do detest paying the $7 or so for a tiny container, but there are times that …
Rice A Roni
No matter how hard I try to make my own version of Rice a Roni, it never works! My rice always turns out undercook and never has the flavor that I aime for.
Rice A Roni is an easy alternitive to homemade rich. It has many great flavors …

It’s been a while since I’ve purchased hot cocoa, but since I’m economizing by keeping my heat off most of the time, I thought I’d get some more to help warm me up during those colder moments of the day and/or night. I decided to purchase Nestle Hot …
Mom’s Brand Madagascar S’mores Jungle Party Cereal
When shopping for cereal, variety certainly isn’t a problem. Now, making a choice may quite possibly be, because of the sheer number of boxed and bagged cereal, not to mention cereal intended to be served warm which is also known as porridge, available on grocery store shelves. Some cereals …
Newman’s Own Organics Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cups
I had bought Newman’s Own Organics Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cups a while back. Not sure how long, but it was at least 5 months because I had moved since then and misplaced them. I had never before tasted them; this was the first and only time I …

McDonald’s Chicken Nuggets
It’s been a few years since I’ve had McDonald’s Chicken Nuggets but, because they were cheaper than their Chicken Select Strips, I figured I would give them a try yesterday. They are much better than I remember them.
I believe a lot of the reason for that is McDonalds seems …
Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Morsels
If I do say so myself, I make a mean chocolate chip cookie from scratch. Chocolate chip cookies are my favorites, and they always have been. If you want to get on my good side with a cookie, make it a good chocolate chipper and you can’t …
Maple Grove Farms: Pure Maple Dark Amber Syrup
Maple Grove Farms: Pure Maple Dark Amber Syrup is expensive. It is expensive and not a whole lot comes in a jar: just twelve point five ounces. The value is most certainly not there. Yet the flavor of this syrup is just positively incredible. This syrup is a thick, …
Michelina’s Shrimp Egg Rolls
I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor and texture of Michelina’s Shrimp Egg Rolls. I didn’t think these egg rolls would be that good, but I was willing to give them a try since this frozen meal was on special for just one dollar. For one dollar, I felt …
Vanilla Almond Tea
I was passing through my friend’s shop the other day and decided to have a shopping-spree rest. It was my pay day and I wanted to shop for some clothes, but not having the luck yet. And I chit-chatted awhile with her, whilst she was at the same …
Adobo
Do you know what “adobo” is? It’s actually a Filipino dish which is a soy sauce based meat recipe. Does it good? Well for me it is cause I’m a Filipino and I grew up with it. People from outside my country may think this will be another scary …

Dad’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip 37.5 g Cookies/Biscuits
I tried this for the first time. I never knew that these delicious cookies have been around since 1929. The package only contains two cookies, but I found them quite satisfying, indeed.
I just can’t resist cookies with oatmeal in them. Maybe because I’ve always loved having …
Fruity Cheerios
Fruity Cheerios are completely fabulous! Not only are they fun to eat just because of their awesome color assortment, but they just have a really wholesome, yet fun taste to them! I find that while they look like small versions of fruit loops, they have far less …

I love to eat Tofu Fried Rice once in awhile. This is a food menu that isn’t pretty hard to make, if you put in a bit of an effort.
For making this type of fried rice, I love to add a bit of vegetable stock to …
Grandi Rum chocolate bars
I went to Getro and there I saw these Grandi Rum chocolate bars. Grandi is a Getro brand and I really don’t like shop brands because they are often of a very lousy quality. I’ve tried a bunch of Grandi stuff and I can’t really say that I liked …
Hormel Compleats - Salisbury Steak
After successful purchases and uses of Hormel Compleats Spaghetti and Meat Loaf varieties, I decided to try out their Salisbury Steak option.

Mountain Dew
I’m finishing my second can of Mountain Dew today and I have to say it has to be the best beverage I’ve ever come across.
Not only is it great tasting, it is also refreshing. Unlike other soft drinks, I don’t feel thirsty right after and don’t have the same …
Heinz Hot Bites - Bagel Bites
I don’t usually buy a lot of fast foods, or pre-packaged foods. I had company coming over to watch a movie, so I bought some Heinz Hot Bites.
