Dannon Activia Strawberry Cereal Yogurt
Now, I have said some distasteful things about Dannon Activia’a Strawberry flavored yogurt. And I still stand by what I said about the Strawberry flavored yogurt not being something that I would recommend. However, I would definitely recommend that if you have not tried Dannon Activia’s Strawberry and Cereal …
Dr Oetker Onken Biopot Fat Free Strawberry Yogurt
I tried the Dr Oetker Onken Biopot Fat Free Strawberry Yogurt, although I only picked up the fat free one by mistake to be honest! I have not tried this brand of yogurt before so I do not know what the full fat one is like, but …
Taurus Cider
Sold exclusively in ALDI stores, this dry cider is a surprisingly pleasant alternative to more expensive brand name competitors out on the market.
Similar in taste to most of the more well known dry ciders such as Strongbow, this particular brand is certainly refreshing enough with a decent flavour, …
Kirkland Signature (BJ’s Brand) Vanilla Soy Milk
I love milk products too much to stop eating them but I was glad this product is lactose free since I’m lactose intolerant. It also states it’s calcium/vitamin enriched & USDA certified organic. I’m not a “health nut” by any means but I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. …
Appy fruit drink
Appy is one of my favorite fruit drinks, as the name says it is an apple flavored fruit juice which comes in a flat black box packed, which is use and throw. The taste is really good, and flavors has been added in a perfect way. The bad thing …
Aunt Jemima: Original Syrup
Aunt Jemima: Original Syrup is a syrup that has a pretty rich flavor to it. It is, however, one of the more expensive syrups, so I typically do not purchase it unless I have a good coupon or it is on sale at an attractive price. I can purchase …
Duncan Hines Family Style Brownies: Chewy Fudge Mix
The holiday season is under way, and that means that my holiday baking has just begun. This year, I will be sending my family and friends gift boxes full of brownies, made from the Duncan Hines Family Style Brownies: Chewy Fudge Mix. These were a great deal, …
Kroger Ginger Snap Cookies
While nothing can really come close to homemade ginger cookies, these ginger cookies from Kroger aren’t half bad. They are a little harder than I’m used to as the ones that come homemade are a bit on the softer side, but the harder texture isn’t a problem for me. …
Casa Mamita Mexican Style Lasagna
Casa Mamita Mexican Style Lasagna is a frozen lasagna carried at ALDI Food Market stores. It costs seven dollars and ninety-nine cents and is big enough to feed four people. I was intrigued by this frozen lasagna when I came across it in the refrigerated case because I had …
Barber Foods Kiev Stuffed Chicken Breasts
I’ve tried many stuffed chicken breasts, but I never had the opportunity to try the ones with the butter in them. I wasn’t sure about getting more than one box of the Barber Foods Kiev stuffed chicken breasts because not all garlic butter is good butter.
I put the chicken …
Volvic Natural Mineral Water
The Volvic Natural Mineral Water can be seen in almost all vending machines here in Japan. They are also available in the convenient stores and supermarkets. You can buy a liter for a hundred yen (100Y). The mineral water tastes very light and smooth to the throat unlike other …
IBARAKU Milk COFFEE
By the coffee’s name IBARAKU, you can directly associate it with Japan. But based on one of the Philippine’s local dialect, “BARAKU” means something grand or fully grown, which can be associated with something strong and active. But then, this coffee is not that strong by its name …
Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton
Whenever I have this craving for chinese noodles or locally known as pancit canton, I just grab a couple of packs of Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton. This certainly satisfies my craving instantly.
Why would I bother to cook pancit canton the regular way, when I can have almost the …
SueBee Orange Blossom Honey
I love bread. I also love honey. Put them together and you have nature’s most perfect food. Now, I am not someone who goes out and looks for something sweet, like cake, or candy, or chocolate. But with honey, I love the sweet. I first …
Kashi Strawberry FieldsOrganic Cereal
Kashi Strawberry Fields cereal has freeze dried strawberries and even though it doesn’t mention it in the name it even has freeze dried raspberries. I found the strawberries and raspberries to be a bit too tangy at times. It might have just been the berry. You …
Morrisons Delicatessen Wensleydale Cheese with Onion & Chives
I am not too familiar with Wensleydale cheese in particular, although I love trying different cheeses. In fact I eat cheese every day now I come to think about it. I love the taste but as a vegetarian, I always appreciate that cheese has a high protein …
Fox’s Creams Golden Crunch biscuits
The Fox’s name is one that I find I can usually rely on to give me biscuits that are both tasty and decent value, and the same is true of the Golden Crunch variety. These are not the cheapest biscuits around, weighing in at around 89p for a 200 …
Chamdor, the Sparkling Grape Wine
Do you love drinking wine? Well, Chamdor is right for you. It was Christmas day when I first drank that wine. My uncle brought home a bottle of Chamdor. At first, I wasn’t into it. The smell is just similar to the wines I already tasted, and I thought …
McCormick Pure Ground Black Pepper
Perhaps oddly to some, I’ve never been a big pepper user. I love salt and always squirmed when given something with pepper on it, and I could always tell. I suppose age changes the likes and dislikes of people as recently, I’ve begun to experiment by using …
Birdseye Fresh-like Green Beans
We ended up having a leftover turkey dinner last night and, to go with it, my wife made some Birdseye Freshlike brand Green Beans.
Normally, I like frozen vegetables like this particular brand. But, I have to admit, I was somewhat disappointed with them.
First, they just didn’t seem to cook …
Spaghetti Alfredo Recipe
I’m not much of a cook. As a matter of fact I don’t even know how to cook rice or how to fry. I often stay away from the kitchen. It’s quite ironic because I love watching cooking shows especially those in Discovery Travel and Living. But there are …
Sainsbury’s Cornflakes
I generally eat cereal at breakfast time, rather than go to the time and trouble of preparing anything more complex such as a cooked meal, but all I really ask of that cereal is that it be reasonably well made and tasty. Sainsbury’s Cornflakes are not quite as nice …
Nescafe Tasters Choice Instant Coffee
Nescafe Tasters Choice Instant coffee is some of the best tasting instant coffee you can buy. I personally prefer my coffee roasted, but in a pinch instant will do. I have tried many different brands and always end up coming back to Tasters Choice. It has a very nice …
Kroger’s Big K Cola
Being on a budget, I sometimes have to opt for off brand sodas. Not all of them are up to par. Kroger’s Big K Cola may be the best of the worst.
Ice cold, these colas are not bad. They taste the most similar to real Coca …
Primula Cheese and Chives Spread
I have bought Primula cheese spread quite a few times purely out of convenience but I cannot say that I am particularly keen on it. I think it tastes rather processed although it actually contains no artificial flavorings or colorants. It consists of real cheese, skimmed milk, …
Horlicks
Horlicks is the name of the health drink, which is very popular in India. Most of the Indian children drink the Horlicks every day with the milk. This drink has all the necessary nutrition and proves to be the best diet for children. It is like …
Chocolate Philadelphia Cream Cheese
Philadelphia the iconic cream cheese brand has recently launched a chocolate variety in conjunction with Cadbury, to the surprise of many (and horror in some instances!).
I first became aware of this product via an online advert featuring comedienne Jennifer Saunders and the tagline “Choccy Philly? Don’t Be Silly!” …
Mint Schmint: Ice Breakers Restore
I noticed Ice Breakers is making sugar-free mints that deviate from the typical “breath-freshening” purpose. Ice Breakers Restore and Ice Breakers Energy sat in 5 neat rows beside the magazine rack, staring at me as I stood in line to buy groceries. Just the appearance of the packaging made …
Bornvita
Bornvita is the name of the health drink, which is used by many families in India. It is said that the bornvita contains all the nutrition values, which are needed for the growing kids and also for the young generation. I don’t know about the nutritional values …
Green Giant Chopped Spinach
This is a frozen boxed food that doesn’t have any sauce at all. It’s just spinach, plain and simple. While this frozen boxed spinach can’t compare with fresh spinach found in the produce section at supermarkets, it’s not that bad. The spinach in this box isn’t all chopped up …
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 …
Ramnaths low fat cottage cheese
Last week I went to the food court near my house. There I found the new item, which is the Ramnaths low fat cottage cheese. I love to prepare many recipes using the cottage cheese. But due to over weight I am not allowed to eat …
Nature’s Nectar Cranberry Raspberry Energy Drink
Cranberry and raspberry go together pretty nicely, as this energy drink demonstrates. There’s a tasty blend of two flavors at work in this energy drink, with the raspberry flavoring being the more dominant of the two, but the cranberry flavoring in the drink is still noticeable and able to …
Bell Tea Original
Bell Tea Original is my all time favorite Tea to drink. You just add one bell tea bag to your mug, as many teaspoons of sugar as you like and a dash of milk; (If that’s what you like.) & Wa-la! You have a fresh and perfect cuppa’ tea. …
On-Cor Sliced Turkey Dinner
I wanted something a bit different for dinner last night but didn’t want to spend a fortune. So, I once again headed to one of the local grocery stores and, avoiding the pizza section, looked in the freezer section.
I ended up bringing home a sliced turkey dinner from the …
Peanut Butter & Co Dark Chocolate Dreams
I don’t think that any words can express my love for peanut butter. And there are no words to express my love for chocolate either. That’s why I was looking for this peanut butter everywhere, but for some reason Houston’s supermarkets had Peanut Butter & Co peanut butters in every …
Gortons Lemon Herb Fish
Gortons makes a fantastic fish taht you can easily cook in your own home. I have recently gotten back into eating fish after several years steering away from it. My favorite so far has been them lemon herb, gortons puts just teh right amount of seasoning on it to …
Nature’s Path: Peanut Butter Granola Bars
Nature’s Path: Peanut Butter Granola Bars are quite tasty! If you like peanut butter, then I believe there is a good chance that you will find these granola bars to be tasty! The peanut butter flavor is rich and authentic. and considering that it is organic, that most certainly …
Jack-N-the-Box Strawberry Milkshake
One of my favorite things on the menu at Jack n the Box is their strawberry milkshake. The first time I had one was a few months ago and since then I’ve made it a treat to get one every time I stop by the fast food restaurant. In …
Kellogg Special K Cereal
I’ve learned about this Kellogg Special K Cereal from a gym buddy, while complaining about how I can’t stick to my diet, she recommended me this product and told me it really works on her. We’ll I must admit she looks great, she said she had been on this …
Kraft Mayo with Olive Oil and Cracked Pepper
On a recent shopping trip I purchased Kraft Mayo with Olive Oil and Cracked Pepper Reduced Fat Mayonnaise. I happen to love fresh cracked pepper and often add it to what I am making. I felt that this would taste good in tuna salad, pasta salad and other dishes …
Mrs. Freshley’s Patriotic: Grand Honey Bun
Wow oh wow, Mrs. Freshley’s Patriotic: Grand Honey Bun is quite filling! The honey bun is a real good size and I would definitely not consider it to be a light treat. It is a treat to have with my breakfast though as it adds some sweet flavor to …
3Musketeers Chocolate Bar
I am so puzzled how many people could love this bar so much! There’s nothing really into it. I have tasted so many chocolate bars, and the 3Musketters is just one of the less than ordinary ones I have ever tried. It is not anything you would go crazy …
Kinder Surprise
Why I like this product so much? There are so many reasons I guess but I think that the main one is because it brings me back to my childhood when these chocolate eggs were really rare and it was a big feat when I got one. The only …
Omaha Steaks
Every year my mother-in-law sends us an Omaha Steak Package for Christmas. This year we received what is called the Grilling Collection. From the brochure we got with the steaks this is regularly a one hundred and fifty four dollar package. She says she did not pay anywhere near …
Skillet Master’s Cheeseburger Macaroni Dinner (from Aldi)
Product Description: Boxed dinner with ingredients that are added to a pound of ground hamburger. This was purchased at Aldi about a month ago for around $1.25.
What I liked about this product: As far as taste goes, this actually ended up surprising me a bit. This is basically a …
Smart Ones Fettucini Alfredo frozen entree
Associated with the Weight Watchers weight loss program, the Smart Ones frozen entrees are, in my opinion, some of the tastiest frozen entrees around — at least when comparing those that have reduced fat and calorie counts. If you are on the Weight Watchers weight loss program, another …
Sun Chips - French Onion
Sun Chips - French Onion is my absolute favorite flavor of chip that is available currently in the Sun Chips line. What a delight it is to have these chips! The French Onion flavor is very strong - so strong that, with the first couple of chips, my taste …
