I bought a couple of Banquet fired chicken tv dinners at the store because they were on sale. They cost 25 cents more than the other varieties of tv dinner they offer, but I can’t figure out why as they has the same caliber of food inside and roughly …

I had a craving for cold cereal, unusual as that is, and set out to buy a brand that was healthy and would allow me to stay on my diet. I had heard good things about Special K so I looked at what flavors were available. There were …

I bought Almond Breeze on the suggestion of a relative who is also diabetic and watching her carb intake. Made from almonds, this milk substitute has almost no carbs, very low calories, and no soy. It can be purchased as a shelf stable milk in cartons, and also …

Since I liked their other variety of popsicle, I decided to try Crystal Light Lemonade and Raspberry lemonade flavor. The other product was a pink lemonade and cherry/pomegranate flavored duo, which I liked very much. This pair was of the same quality. I did not care for the regular …

I’ve been attempting to find a flavor of oatmeal that I can stomach because I’d really like to be able to incorporate oatmeal into my daily eating habits as there’s a lot of good stuff in oatmeal that’s beneficial for the heart and body. The oatmeal that I’ve tried …

Spam for me is a great breakfast. Whenever my niece and nephews stay with me, we always enjoy waking up in the morning seeing spam in our breakfast table. I also feel good because it’s not difficult to let them eat when it’s Spam. But then just like any …

I am going to talk about a brand well known by those who practice any type of sport.
Isostar is not only a sports drink, is a brand, and I want to talk about the brand itself. As a matter of fact, I can say that regarding Isostar there are …

Many years ago, in Paris, I was staying at a hotel in the Latin Quarter when I noticed the manager trying to explain to a couple of young Americans that she didn’t speak English. As they didn’t speak French either, they were both a bit stuck. I intervened and …

I’m going to talk about a sweet I’ve been wanting to eat for some time now.
These are the Ferrero Rocher chocolates, some snacks that are reeeeeally good and consisting of a ball of chocolate with almonds on the outside, a small cookie on it’s internal spherical shape and a …

Magnolia Quickmelt Cheese is one of the best for me. I usually have it on my fridge most of the time. It’s something that I love to put on my favorite foods. I always make pasta at home, and it feels great when there’s lot of cheese on it. …

San Mig Light Beer is what I usually see people drink everywhere, especially in bars. Various people in different ages likes it. I think it’s called San Mig Light because it has a low calorie content compared to the regular San Miguel Beer. I tried it in the past …

Pancakes and waffles really do have good and similar tastes. They’re best eaten while still hot. Here in our country, pancakes are more popular as “hotcakes”. They’re good for breakfast and snacks. In my case, I don’t know how to make home-made pancakes so I usually …

I used to enjoy going out with friends and drink (beer) when I was younger. That was especially when I was in college that me and my friends drink a lot, sometimes we never stop until we get drunk. But everything changed when I became older and I started …

I don’t usually use breading mix in frying chicken or porkchops but just plain flour added with some ground black pepper. For me, using breading mix will only cost me more. There’s no difference for me. One time, I’ve ran out of flour and instead of …

Cupcakes by Sonja is a very quaint cupcake cafe in Manila. You’ll notice it immediately in the corner of the strip because of it’s red and white striped awning and brightly-litted store. When you enter the store, the aroma will drive you to their long clear glass display, laden …

I happened upon these in the Asian food section of my local grocery store and was intrigued by the idea - dried peas covered in wasabi. Familiar with the taste of wasabi (a very hot horseradish spice), I wanted to find out why it was so popular on …

This was a disappointing variety pack of naturally-flavored Italian Ice from Luigi’s Italian Ice. Neither flavor wowed me and neither flavor satisfied me outside of being a cold frozen treat that delivered refreshing relief from the hot summer heat. I can get that pleasant cool sensation from other frozen …

Of all the varieties of Italian Ice put out by Luigi’s Italian Ice, the lemon-flavored Italian Ice is my favorite. Six cups come in a package and they’re all lemon-flavored for two dollars and fifty cents. This is my favorite way to experience the flavor of lemon: ice cold …

There are three lemon-flavored and three strawberry-flavored Italian Ice cups that come in a box for two dollars and fifty cents. Thia is a reasonably fair price considering the quality and flavor of the Italian Ice. While neither flavor is particularly super rich, the lemon-flavored cups offer an unmistakable …

I admit that I’m no fan of oatmeal, but I know that it’s something that I should be eating because of how healthy it is for the body and heart. Starting off the day with a bowl of oatmeal is supposed to be one of the best ways a …

Finally, local stores are starting to stock more German candies! As a girl who grew up with my German mother, I got used to having delicious snacks sent over from her relatives. In fact, I got spoiled by this. So when I moved out on my …

Goldfish crackers are a classic treat. Just about anyone who has had a lunchbox packed with snacks has had Goldfish crackers at some point. Sadly, the number of people who have had the Stauffer’s Cheesy Whales crackers is significantly smaller.
These crackers come from a Meiji …

I have been seeing all the commercials about Taco Bell’s new two dollar meal deals. The commercials make the meals look large and fulfilling. They have a variety of meals that come with one main item a drink and a bag of chips. They have been advertising the beefy …

I usually do all of my seafood shopping at my local Albertson’s grocery store. They usually have good sales and quality seafood, unlike other stores near my area. One day I was there to purchase my lobster tail for the month when I cam across some advertised crab cakes. …

I love to drink milk shakes and have ordered one at almost every fast food location. The only thing I hate is that most places stick to the same old strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. If I want something different I usually go to Sonic, because they are one of …

I was unfortunately “lucky” enough to try out the new hip burger joint in town, “Smashburger”. I have heard about the place before from friends who lived elsewhere about how great the burgers are and how the prices are definitely reasonable for the amount of food you get. I …

I tend to purchase bottled water, because I do not like water out of the tap. I really don’t like drinking water at all, so I am extremely picky about the water I drink. I don’t like spring water and usually have to drink purified. Dasani is one of …

These days I like to have a good ‘proper’ butter in the house, not just one of those ‘like butter but it’s not actually butter’ spreads. A good butter really makes a difference to sandwiches, jacket potatoes and cooking generally and I have come to appreciate that. …

I am always harping on about the bargains I can find at supermarkets when they reduce the prices of their bakery goods at the end of the day as you can find great bargains. The food is not stale, it is just that they have to sell certain …

As in life in general, in cheese you absolutely get what you pay. In our family, fridge without at least five assorted brands of cheese is an empty fridge. It looks like our mission is to try every cheese available in the globe. As much as I know, there are …

Nescafe Partners Blend Instant Coffee is a decent instant coffee with a very smooth taste, but for me it just lacks in something. I am not sure if I am saying that it lacks in body or in strength, but for me, even if I put a really …

The brightly coloured packaging of this range of ground coffees from Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference brand caught my eye and on closer inspection I saw that there was a choice of coffees with different flavours. I cannot remember the whole range, but they each have a different bright …

The more I sample of the Sainsbury’s Basics low budget range, the more I think that Tesco’s own ‘Value’ brand is the far superior. Tesco are hit and miss when it comes to their value range but Sainsbury’s appears so far to be consistently poor. I have …

I cannot think of any cheese I do not really like if I am in the mood for it, so I like to try ones that are a bit different so I tried this Bowlands Cheese from Morrisons own Delicatessen brand. This is a very sweet cheese that, …

I treated myself to a bar of this Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Belgian Milk chocolate today and I can tell you, this is really gorgeous chocolate and was a nice treat. This was only a smallish bar of 40g of chocolate measuring just over two inches by about …

Admit it! We all love chips in different ways! Like me, I love eating chips, specially potato chips, when watching TV or surfing the internet, etc. Lately, I have found another good tasting corn chip to add on my list of favorites.
Leslie’s Clover …

Cup Keyk Choco Topps is manufacture by Suncrest Foods Incorporated. I have tasted this several times already and I find it good. It’s not only the taste but also its appearance which makes it ore tempting to eat. This chocolate cup cake of 35 grams is …

I am selling soft drinks and beer here in our neighborhood to earn extra cash for the expenses. I don’t get much from these, but some how, the money I earn from selling these helps. One brand of soft drinks I sell and is is my …

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 …

I quite liked this energy drink from Nature’s Nectar. I didn’t like it as much as the raspberry and cranberry blend that is also made by the same company, but as a pure cranberry drink, this drink satisfied me. I liked how this energy drink actually reminded me of …

As much as I enjoy ice cold fruit treats and although I really like strawberries, these frozen sliced strawberries sold at ALDI didn’t impress me very much. They weren’t all that sweet, and that’s how I like to enjoy strawberries. There was some sweetness to these strawberries, but it …

Although I really like the fact that these mango chunks are ice cold when I take them out of the freezer to eat, I really didn’t find them to be all that tasty or sweet. Now I’m not overly fond of mangos, but I do really love the Del …

This frosting comes in two different colors: red and blue. It’s kind of odd how the container containing the blue frosting is red and the container containing the red frosting is blue, as I would’ve thought it would be the other way around, but I guess the Baker’s Corner …

This cake mix makes a delightfully moist and pleasant tasting cake. It’s a cake mix that’s specifically designed for the Fourth of July holiday. The cake itself is white, but it has little colorful dots throughout the cake. The dots are red and blue, and the cake itself is …

Nearly seven ounces of blue, white and red sprinkles come in just one jar at ALDI for two dollars and ninety-nine cents. These sprinkles are specially made for the Fourth of July holiday. They make a festive addition to cupcakes, frosted cookies and even frosted cakes. The colors are, …

These mini muffins were okay, although they didn’t really satisfy me to the point where I wanted to rush out and purchase another package once they were all gone. There’s nothing really wrong with these mini muffins, they’re just pretty average, maybe slightly above average. Perhaps the best quality …

It’s really something how it’s impossible to find a five cheese Texas Toast that actually comes out looking and tasting cheesy. No matter what brand I try, I’m always disappointed, but I keep searching because I enjoy cheese quite a lot and I’ve had four and five cheese pizzas …

These frozen shredded hash browns are pretty decent, although not truly delicious or anything like that. The bag is twenty-six ounces, so there’s quite a lot of shredded hash browns in a bag. Being made out of potatoes, hash browns really don’t have much flavor alone, regardless of whether …

I’m someone that doesn’t care too much for chocolate in the morning, but I also don’t always just have pancakes in the morning. Sometimes, I’ll have a breakfast dinner, where I have breakfast foods for dinner, and that’s when I gave these pancakes a try. The pancakes come already …

These mini muffins from L’oven are about as good as the company’s blueberry mini muffins: a little above average, but not by much. What really helps make these mini muffins relatively decent is the fact that they are quite soft, moist and overall taste pretty fresh. They hold well, …
