Simply Apple-Pure Pressed Apple Juice
I am not a huge fan of apple juice, but do enjoy a glass once in a while. Now come the fall when the local orchard makes the fresh apple cider, that’s a different story.
At a recent dinner get-together my mother-in-law brought out Simply Apple juice for our …
Chandon Blanc De Noirs Champagne
I’m not a wine snob, but I just do not enjoy drinking cheap champagne. There’s just something about it that causes me to get a severe headache about half way through my first glass. Seriously, it’s never an enjoyable experience and I always dread occasions where I know it …
Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt - Raspberry and Apple
I read somewhere that yogurt is great because it has live lactobacilli which is beneficial for our stomachs. Also, since I am lactose-intolerant, I would benefit greatly from eating yogurt as compared to drinking milk because this has a lower amount of lactose that is needed to digest. I …
XS Energy Drinks
XS Energy are just great. They are loaded with vitamins C and B and they have low sugar and carbs. I really like these drinks because they don’t give you a bad crash like mainstream energy drinks. I also really like all the flavors they come in. I really …
Farm Rich Mozzarella Sticks
Mozzarella sticks are one of my favorite appetizers to order in a restaurant. For me, there is nothing better than eating melting mozzarella cheese covered in some type of deep-fried breading. I had become familiar with them because my mom would always purchase them for me, and when I …
Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia Ice Cream
Cherry Garcia is plain and simply one of the best ice creams out there. It’s Delicious.
Ben & Jerry’s first off makes quality ice cream. I’ve always been a fan and am always sure to experiment with whatever new flavors they are putting out there. Cherry Garcia ice cream is …
Schogetten Dark Chocolate
I picked up this Schogetten Dark Chocolate today in Lidl for just 65p for 100g box. I usually have milk chocolate but I just fancied this. Lidl is a bargain supermarket in the UK and a lot of their products are unknown foreign brands like this one, …
Cheese Mountain Sausage Pizza
I was in a bit of a rush this morning and, because I had to shovel the sidewalk before leaving for work, didn’t have an opportunity to eat anything for breakfast. As a result, I decided to stop off at Kwik Trip on my way to work and grab …
Totino’s Combination Pizza Rolls
These pizza rolls are positively horrid on all accounts. There’s not one redeeming quality that springs to mind when I think back to the time I gave these a one and only try. I like pizza, but just good pizza, and this is not what I consider to be …
Eggo Muffin Tops
We were at the store last night and decided to pick up some frozen breakfast foods. While in the frozen pancake/waffle aisle, I came across Eggo Muffin Tops and, because they weren’t that expensive, decided to give them a try.
After trying them this morning, I do think they were …
Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Hot Cereal
To this day, I love Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Hot Cereal. I have a lot of sentimental attachment to this food. As a young girl, this is something my father used to make for me before going to school, and when I got my first job, he …
Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts Cinnamon Roll Flavor
Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts, Cinnamon Roll are not all that bad really, but seriously, you cannot make a breakfast out of these as they are neither nutritious nor filling. Now, having one of these along with a healthy bowl of cereal as well as some toast and perhaps some eggs along …
Cloverhill Bakery - Marble Cake
The Cloverhill Bakery - Marble Cake is a cake that I did not care for. The reason I did not like this cake too much is because I did not feel that the vanilla or chocolate flavors really shined very well. I could taste both the vanilla and the …
Burger King Triple Whopper with Cheese
My son wanted to try one of these sandwiches. So he ordered one, he wanted it plain, with only cheese on it. He was surprised when he sat down to east his sandwich, this was a big one! Three big burgers, but the most surprising part of …
Pepperidge Farm Texas Toast Five Cheese
I don’t care what brand I try, be it Pepperidge Farm, New York Style, Mama Cozzi’s, whatever, they all offer a five cheese Texas Toast and they all stink. When something reads “Five Cheese”, I personally think I’m in for something that’s going to be super cheesy, rich in …
Henry Weinhard’s IPA
Henry Weinhard’s came out with an India Pale Ale not too long ago, and, for a refreshing price, this is a refreshing ale. Henry Weinhard’s Ale line has attached to it a famously low price for a rather decent beverage. This is common knowledge throughout the Northwest. …
Jell-o Gelatin - Grape
Jell-o Gelatin - Grape variety is pretty gosh darn scrumptious! They certainly did a remarkable job of cramming a whole lot of grape flavor into this gelatin treat! Each time I take a spoonful of this gelatin, there is an eruption of grape flavor that floods my mouth and …
Jack n Jill Magic Chips
I was wondering why my nieces have been quite crazy with Jack & Jill Magic Chips. At first I thought it was corn or potato chips like other Jack n Jill snacks. But I was wrong this Magic Chips snack is a biscuit cracker. As I tasted a …
Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate
Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate is my favourite chocolate. Both my sister and me are real chocolate lovers. We always eat love to eat chocolates. In a variety of chocolates both we love to eat Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chocolate. It contains enriched chocolate. The ingredients …
Dianora’s Mini Pizzas
Another item my wife and I ended up buying at Save-a-Lot (well, actually, I was the one who picked them out when she wasn’t looking) was Dianora’s Mini Pizzas.
I have purchased similar mini pizzas in the past and wasn’t really expecting much from these. I just figured they would …
I Can’t Believe its not Butter Spray
I’ve been using I Can’t Believe it’s not Butter flavored spray since 1996. It has helped me to lose weight and stay healthy. With negligible calories and fat, and multiple uses, it is one of my favorite cooking items. I use it to spray my pans to sautee meats and …
Jack Daniels Barbeque Sauce
Jack Daniels, making a barbeque sauce? My mother actually made some barbeque chicken for me this weekend. it tasted great so I asked her what BBQ sauce she used and she pulled out a bottle of jack daniels.
I never realized that jack daniels had a line of food products …
Bush’s Jar Chili vs. Canned Chili
I don’t like spicy hot food. When I buy canned or jarred food I make sure it is mild or very mild. Some canned foods are flat tasting in my opinion. There is not much flavor.
One day I was grocery shopping when I spotted Bush’s Chili in a …
Aero Instant Bubbly Hot Chocolate Drink
I bought this drink out of curiosity, really. The proclamation of bubbles melting on my tongue enticed me to give Nestle’s latest offering in the heated beverages department a whirl. When boiling water is added, it is true, an impressive crop of bubbles forms, much like when you froth …
Dunnellon Florida McDonalds Shamrock Shake
Normally, I am not a fan of mint shakes really. So after going through the McDonalds drive through and ordering a Shamrock Shake, I was confused as to why I thought I would like the shake at all. It is green in color, an unappealing color for shakes in …
Kroger Fruit Punch
As a family of five on a limited budget, we have a hard time finding something to drink that is affordable. We always try to find soda on sale but our oldest daughter does not like very many types of sodas and the ones she does are hardly …
Coca Cola cherry zero
I really like Coca Cola cherrry zero. This is a product that is a little bit difficult to find but they have it at Target and that is where I can find it. This product is very good and tasty and I think well worth the dollar …
Oishi Berri Plunge Strawberry Flavored Flakes
The reason why I bought Oishi Berri Plunge is its packaging. It has a cute packaging; the color is pink with red lettering. The color looks appealing to me maybe because I am a girl. There is a picture of the flakes on the packaging; however, it does not …
Dark Mocha Frappucino
Just from the name frappucino, you might already know that this one come from the Starbucks. I enjoy coffee, infact i can say that i am addicted to coffee. A glass of coffee is a must for me. But not all coffee are good, i prefer the best taste …
Betty Crocker Warm Delights (Cinnamon!)
I bought a Betty Crocker Warm Delights Cinnamon Swirl Cake on a whim, and it turned out to be a good move.
For a tasty sweet snack or dessert, this little cake is handy. It’s designed to be one serving, but it’s big enough to serve two …
Twinings earl grey tea
I like tea a lot, but I am a little picky when it comes to choose one brand or another. Twinings, so far, is a tea brand that has never disappointed me with their dozens of varieties, and this time I am going to talk about their earl grey.
First …
Murphy and David Corned Beef Brisket
When it’s raining outside, there is nothing better than a good pot of stew. It was raining cats and dogs last time I had visited my mother and she had taken out my favorite brisket in the world: Murphy and David corned beef brisket. There is something about that …
Entenmann’s Little Bites 100 Calorie Carrot Crème Snack Cakes
Entenmann’s Little Bites 100 Calorie Carrot Crème Snack Cakes is a treat that I look forward to having from time to time because I find the carrot cake flavor of these snack cakes to be rather delightful! I was pleasantly surprised that the flavor had not been removed along …
Sainsbury’s Basics Creamed Tomato Soup
When I am low on cash before pay day, I do like trying out the really cheap own brand produce of supermarkets, such as Sainsbury’s. The prices can be ridiculous, like this Creamed Tomato Soup from the Sainsbury’s Basics range, which is only 17 pence. But I …
Glaceau Smart Water
SmartWater is vapor distilled, nutrient enhanced water. The bottlers have added calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and potassium bicarbonite. One day I’ll google these ingredients to learn what they do for my body.
The water has a very crisp taste and doesn’t have to be chilled to …
Bovril Concentrated Bouillon
I admit that this product is one of my secret weapons in my recipe arsenal.
I use this product (by Knorr, Unilever) in a lot of my cooking.
It’s excellent as a base for soups and it’s the main ingredient of my gravy.
I buy both the liquid and the powdered versions …
McDonald’s Grilled Spicy Chicken Wrap
For two dollars, I think this is a great little snack. It is delicious and I get them frequently. You can get the snack wrap grilled or crispy, but grilled is healthier and actually tastes much better than crispy. You can also get wraps in barbecue and ranch, though …
Pringles Stix Jalapeno
The jalapeno-flavored “stix” from Pringles are just as tasty and good as the cheese-flavored “stix”. The jalapeno flavor has been pretty successfully transferred to these “stix” and they’re even a little hot and biting in taste. They do remind me of jalapenos, and I’m glad that these “stix” turned …
Cheezee Cheese
I like Magnolia as a brand. As a kid I loved their fresh milk, fruit juices and ice cream. I recently purchased a box of Cheezee Magnolia cheese. It’s not my usual brand for cheese but I expected it to be just as good, maybe even better. But boy …
Cobra Fit Energy Drink
As a quality analyst in a call center, my job requires for me to sit down and evaluate the calls of agents for the most part of the day. Sitting down the whole day means I lack exercise and the evaluating part means I have to be mentally alert, …
Fuze Slenderize: Strawberry Melon Beverage
After tasting and becoming addict to the band of Fuze, I’ve decided to try another flavor from their slenderize line. Since I enjoyed the previous flavor, I knew that I would most likely this particular flavor especially since it has strawberries involved. At only a $1.50 I felt that …
Supreme sun flower oil
Sun pure sun flower oil is also the refined oil which is made using the sunflower seeds. I had seen the advertisement for this oil in the television and I brought it once to the home and I tried to prepare some dishes using this oil. After …
Del Monte Tomato Sauce
Del Monte tomato sauce is something I would normally buy during my weekly trips to the grocery. I love making tomato dishes and i would normally cook tomato based foods at least three times a week. Del Monte Tomato Sauce has the right blend of spices and the tomato …
Rice-A-Roni Beef Flavored Rice
The Rice-A-Roni beef flavored rice is another favorite rice from the Rice-A-Roni lineup that I like to prepare. I like the beef flavored rice because it’s versatile and can pretty much go with type of meal that I’m preparing.
Because the cooking instructions differs for each flavor of rice, I …
Entenmann’s Eclairs
Although Entenmann’s Eclairs are not nearly as good as say the eclairs that are sold fresh in the bakeries, I find them to be relatively decent enough to have perhaps once or twice a year. The flavor is by no means so intense that your taste buds will go …
Peanut butter kit kat
The peanut butter kit-kat is the latest in their ‘chunky’ range. Having tried all the other flavours I felt it was my duty to sample this new one.
What I like most about chunky kit-kats is the amount of chocolate on them and the peanut butter kit-kat is no …
Crispy Minis Delights snack food
I don’t normally try these 100 calorie or 90 calorie snack packs, partially because I prefer to make snacks from scratch and partially because I find them a bit annoying - as if you can’t just enjoy a little snack, the company has to portion control for you. But …
Lipton Teas
I love teas! I guess there is no one that has ever tasted almost all tea variants in the whole of metro manila as me. I love teas, red tea, green tea, korean ginseng teas (not as much as i like green teas) and i also love Milk teas! …
