I’m not a big fish eater, but every once in a while I find myself craving a tuna fish sandwich. I like them a very particular way, though so I never order them out, I always make them myself. I like salt, pepper and plenty of lemon juice and …

I love Almond Butter. It is a special treat that hits the spot and kills sugar cravings for me. There is one problem and that is the price. I generally see prices range from $5.99 to $13.99 for a 12oz (340g) container. I purchased MaraNatha Almond butter partly …

I know I already have attested and admitted how much I enjoy drinking a cup or a glass of cold coffee or frappucino. Well it is not quite obvious that even coffee mixes in tetra packs have been tried by me. Just this morning, I tried the “coffeehouse” brand …

So, I recently got some Prego Roasted Garlic & Herb Pasta Sauce for my ziti pasta and I must say it was so tasty. The sauce wasn’t super garlicky tasting and the herbs tasted so fresh. It was thick and full of tomatoes too. Loved it.
The way I …

Apple Pumpkin Pie is a fairly delightful dessert that I am sometimes able to purchase at Tom Thumb around September, October and November. The reason that I say it is a fairly delightful dessert is because it does have a slight flaw to it: the pie comes across as …

I recently bought some Cafe Bustelo grinded coffee beans to replace my Maxwell house coffee and I have just loved it. The Maxwell house cofee was ok, but it was a lot more expensive to buy and didn’t really think it tasted all that great. It said it …

This wholemeal sliced bread is a small, 400g loaf from the in-store bakery at Tesco. This is a plain, golden brown wholemeal loaf with no fancy additions such as seeds, but it is very good and tastes nice, not to mention the fact that it contains wholegrain goodness …

We love to have the occasional homemade pancake or waffle in my house, while these are a treat for us we have found that we must have syrup to go on them. Before a trip to the grocery store one day my husband expressed an interest in pancakes, but …

Yogurt Land was a place that I had often heard of, but I assumed it was because it was a new place and people who were “yogurt crazy,” but did not trust that it was legitimately good. When I first tried it however, I was proven wrong. First of …

I frequent the Great Mall due to the size and options available in their many stores. My kids, Jonny and Sue, often accompany me and can be found playing around the kiddy fountain near Entrance One. One day, I stopped at Sportsters to buy my husband a …

Blue Diamond Almonds are a very tasty snack. I like to eat Blue Diamond Almonds while I am studying or I am doing work at home. They just really hit the spot when It’s not time for lunch or dinner, but you need a good snack to keep you …

Here in Trinidad there is a little place at one of the malls named Willie’s Ice Cream Parlour. They make homemade ice creams and serve them up just like you would get regular ice creams. You can choose from having it in cones, cups, even fancy banana splits and …

For the past few decades major food companies have been coming up with the new calorie-free sugar substitutes. Thanks to them, now we are all familiar with such words as erythritol,maltodextrin, dextrose, saccharin, aspartame and Sucralose. However, certain studies have linked these long scary names to the development of cancerous …

Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix allows for the creation of average tasting pancakes. The reason I say average is because this pancake mix requires the addition of water opposed to milk. Pancakes that are made using water typically fall apart easier and do not quite taste as good or come …

Thanksgiving Day rolled around and I had never gotten out to buy celery or onions for the homemade stuffing Mom wanted. I can’t explain it - I just didn’t feel like it, partly because I just didn’t feel right, period. I did have some stove-top-like stuffing mix, …

Around the holidays, and sometimes just plain in general, it’s not always easy to maintain one’s weight. A higher than usual calorie intake without sufficient supplemental exercise, it can be far too easy to add on extra pounds without realizing it right away. That’s why it’s important to offset …

I enjoy having the Old London JJFlats Flatbread - Garlic be it plain or with a topping spread out across the top of this tasty bread. I find this bread pleasant for more than just a couple of reasons. For one, I think that the bread has a fairly …

Flavarite’s Vanilla Cherry …

I am a keen quaffer of Scotch whisky and I can claim a degree of discrimination when I drink it. Like all unique drinks of any kind, there are certain brands of Scotch which may lay claim to excellence in their own, if no one else’s eyes. Amongst those …

I have tasted much kind of tomato sauces but the Maggie tomato sauce is totally different. Its taste is unique and comparatively the price is not too much high and it can be very much affordable. It comes in many flavours but the regular or the normal …

Have you ever try to cook Mexican food yourself in the house? My husband was the one teaching me how to do that. And since there is Tex Mex Burrito seasoning, I can cook Mexican food easier this time.
Tex Mex Burrito Seasoning is easy to use. When you want …

This is a great tasting water that was made in Canada. I live in Canada so I can say with pride that this brand is far better than some of the bigger company brands such as Nestle, Dasani, and Aberfoyle. Firstly, REAL CANADIAN sells its water for a lower …

These disposable plates and bowls are wonderful in helping my family save money. Recently we have realized we are in a financial crisis and had to make some major budgetary cuts. One area of concern was the amount my husband was spending buying take out food at …

Although I enjoy munching on raisins fairly regularly, I do not at all care for these Little Debbie Raisin Creme Pies. The reason I am not at all delighted with this pie is because the raisin flavor is not what I expected to be. I was really very disappointed …

Although I am not a big fan of chocolate with strawberries about a week ago I saw this all new collection of Mikado Summer Edition chocolates and I bought all three of them. The first 2 were apricot and cream and lime and cream and I was expecting the …

Starbucks has a yearly Christmas promo wherein they give you a card, and if you are able to complete all the drinks, then you get a free planner. Half of the drinks that you need to complete are from their special Christmas drinks, one of which is the …

I did not use to be much of a fan of quick cook noodles. The kind that I have always tried seemed to be missing something and to have a funny texture. Though I do not enjoy the noodles much, I still buy them for my little girl who …

I would like to share with you my experience of drinking Diet Coca-Cola from the one and a half liter bottle. I have been drinking diet coca-cola usually as a guest in my parents’ house or in other happy occasions.
I really think that this is probably one of the …

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 …

As I’m not an expert on what exactly classifies as an Italian classic, I have no idea whether or not Mama Cozzi’s Italian Style Classics Meatball Marinara Pizza will satisfy those that consider themselves foodies in the area of classic Italian foods, but as someone that enjoys a good …

Jell-o Instant Pudding - Flan is quite a tasty treat that I enjoy having from time to time when I have a taste for delicious caramel flavor. The caramel flavor is quite rich and authentic. It tastes just as I would expect caramel to taste and that made me …

Wal-Mart has a brand of soda products that they sell for at least seventy-eight cents. One of the better flavors of this brand of soda is coconut wave. Not only is this flavor sweet and tasting just like coconut, but it’s fizzy and bubbly just like a normal can …

While many have probably tried the drink Coke and Rum, fewer have tried Sprite and Rum, or Captain Morgans. This was the case for me, until I recently saw this combination and decided to try it. I was thoroughly impressed, and it is now my drink of choice. The …

Blue Bell is one of the best brands of ice cream on the market, in my opinion. This brand offers a large variety of differently flavored ice creams that almost always prove to be creamy and delicious. I would be a frequent buyer if one half gallon container didn’t …

For a spin on my favorite chocolate bar, I always enjoyed having a Nestle Crunch Bar. Made of milk chocolate and crisped rice, it was a crunchy alternative, and it was fun to eat.
I have wondered in recent years if the company has changed its ingredients, as co …

This is a decent variety pack of donuts, although the donuts themselves could most certainly be better. The donuts have a slight stale flavor to them that results in a somewhat dry texture to them. I like donuts that are real soft and moist, and these do not exactly …

These plain tortilla chips from Tesco are from their extremely low-priced ‘Value’ range and you can buy a generous 100g bag for a mere 25 pence. Tesco’s Value range does have some surprisingly good items in it and I think these chips are fantastic for the price. …

We go through a lot of jelly in our house, both grape and strawberry. So, we naturally are always looking for the best quality for the best price.
This is why we started buying the Great Value brand.
We weren’t going to do this at first. But, I couldn’t pass up …

I find these Little Debbie Dessert Cakes - Chocolate to be a little on the bland side. The reason I find them to be bland is because the chocolate cake just does not seem all that rich or moist, really. The chocolate flavor is simply not as delicious and …

Voortman Turnover Soft Cookies are one of my favorite kinds of cookies. I usually purchase the strawberry flavored ones, but this week decided to try the blueberry flavored ones. These cookies are delicious, soft cookies with a dollop of fruit flavored jelly in the middle of them. The jelly …

The Great Value Golden Creme Cakes are modeled after the Hostess Twinkies. Ten come in a package for around two dollars and twenty cents. The Great Value brand is a Walmart brand, so these cakes can only be found at Walmart stores. Just by looking at one of these …

Clover Valley Coffee is the Dollar General Stores brand of coffee. It is relatively inexpensive at $2.50 for one of those vacuum fresh bags and about $3 for a can. They are both the same amount of coffee so I buy the refill. (The refill works great b/c you …

So I bought a pack of Extra SugarFree gum the other day. I was very happy with how the flavor tasted. Even thought the gum does no have sugar in it, it still had a great fruity taste. I picked the cool green apple flavor and it was very good. …

Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup is my personal favorite of all the variety of Campbell soups. I like it as soup, and usually only use it as such. For cooking other dishes, like stroganoff or tuna casserole, I use the Great Value brand, which is just as good …

I think I prefer Mrs. Freshley’s Jelly Swirl Honey Bun to the plain honey bun variety because I like that there are more flavors to be tasted and enjoyed than with a typical honey bun. Unfortunately, this version of the honey bun also happens to be even sweeter, so …

I do not have sugar cookies too often, but when I do, I generally pick up Krusteaz Bakery Style Sugar Cookies at the grocery store because these cookies, much like their other cookie mixes, do not disappoint. The sugar cookies that come from this mix are quite buttery and …
