Sobe Energize Power Fruit Punch
I tried another flavor from the elixir line of Sobe called Energize fruit punch when my neighborhood Kroger was running a sale on them for only eighty cents. Considering I’ve previously tried a previous flavor from this brand I wasn’t too hesitant to grab a bottle.
Personally I’m not …
San Mig Coffee
San Mig Coffee has 4 flavors (Mild, Strong, Extra Strong and Original) offered to coffee lovers. Contrary to the more famous instant coffee choice, Nescafe is more aromatic than the San Mig Coffee. I believe what makes a coffee enticing is the smell it leaves around you, the smell …
Diana Nut Krak’r
Now I am sure you guys are thinking, what is a Nut Krak’r? Simply put, it is peanut brittle, Trinidad style. There are quite a few brands of Nut Crackers available here in my country and Diana Nut Krak’r is one of those.
It is so funny to actually look …
Publix Sliced Pork Tenderloin in Schechwan Style Sauce
I am the only member of my family who eats pork and I am not much of a cook. I have noticed an increase prepared foods in my local Publix supermarket so I spent some time on a recent shopping trip to look more closely in the refrigerator …
Goldilock’s Ube Loaf
I grabbed this bread when there was no available peanut loaf. The latter was my favorite snack while reviewing for the bar last year. I had to sip Coke Light as well while eating. I chose Coke Light in order to reduce the calorie intake. My nutritionist emphasize that …
Recheks Food Pride Fresh Chicken Legs & Thighs
My parents surprised us the other day by buying a bunch of meat from Recheks Food Pride here in town and giving us half of it (money has been a bit tight after having the baby and they wanted to make sure we had something in our freezer).
One of …
GreenMax Yam Nutritious Cereal
This is one very delicious cereal drink!
Most cereal drinks are sweet but this is not. It has a Taiwan-Hakka-flavor, so it is actually pretty salty. Since it contains yam, tomato, pumpkin seeds, green tea, wild rice, flat red bean, black bean, wheat germ, black sesame, …
Little Debbie - Chocolate Chip Muffins
Little Debbie - Chocolate Chip Muffins is a particular variety of muffin that I am not all that crazy about. I do not care very much for chocolate chips or chocolate flavor in my muffins. I much prefer the flavor to be a part of cookies, cake, brownies and …
Variegated Lemon Thyme
I bought one of these plants from a garden center a while back to mix in with my other herbs in the garden. It’s done wonderfully so far in zone 9a, in full sun with average full watering each day. It has very small leaves as does most Thyme, …
Pringles Sour Cream & Onion Super Stack
I really like Pringles. I love to put them inside my sandwiches or eat them along with a sandwich. The plain pringles are a good chip, but nothing fancy. But I recently got a container of sour cream & onion Pringles. I am a huge …
Blue Runner Foods
I don’t think I had ever tried Blue Runner brand products before moving here to New Orleans. It may be considered a local food that isn’t carried in other places. I’m not really sure. Red beans and rice wasn’t a local favorite in Florida, where I’m originally from.
Here, however, …
Betty Crocker Four Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Betty Crocker Four Cheese Mashed Potatoes are a really easy side dish to make. I just put water on to boil, then pour in the contents of the pouch to moisten them and then let them sit! They are so super easy and fast to make.
Betty Crocker Four Cheese …
Guylian Chocolate Seashells
I had discovered Guylian Chocolate Seashells when I was in Europe, and I was pleased to find out that they are sold here in the US as well, in stores and online. The box I have purchased at Walmart is a 8.82 oz (250 g) box containing 22 chocolate …
Applebee’s Riblets
Applebee’s riblets are small ribs that actually taste pretty good. The ribs are tender and easy to chew. That is important to me because I hate to chew tough meat. However, since I live in a town known for its tasty barbeque Applebee’s riblets are not the best, not …
Nature’s Place 100 Percent Organic Maple Syrup
I love real maple syrup on my pancakes, French toast, in my sweet roasted carrot recipe, baked sweet potatoes and even over vanilla ice cream. The kind of real maple syrup I get is usually from my local maple farm, but lately it has been pricy and with the …
McDonald Hot Fudge Sundae
McDonald Hot Fudge Sundae is one of the Sundaes that I really like to buy. My boyfriend also wants McDonald Hot Fudge Sundae. In fact, every time we are in the mall and there is a McDonald Branch there, we buy McDonald Hot Fudge Sundae because we like the …
Wrigley’s Orbit Professional with Calcium
I used to buy original Wrigley’s chewing gums all the time because they were quite cheap. I knew a shop where I could get them for 35 Euro cents only and that really isn’t much I think. But then the price of Orbit continued going up and up. Each …
Milo by Nestle
Milo is the tonic food drink my kids are enjoying everyday. Because of their being actively involved in sports and other extra-curricular activites, they need an energy drink to sustain them to finish their tasks. I have been trying many products in the market but …
Little ThickBurger w/ Cheese (Hardee’s restaurant)
I have discovered a new respect for Hardee’s restaurants. In addition to having better food than a lot of fast food places. This restaurant brings the food to its patrons as if they were in a sit-down place. I ordered the Little Thickburger which is …
Clancy’s Onion Rings Original (Seven Ounce Bag)
Clancy’s Onion Rings Original come in a seven ounce bag for one dollar and nineteen cents at ALDI Food Market stores. I don’t like onion rings that come already cooked and in a bag as much as onion rings that are sold frozen and must be cooked, because I …
Lasagna Supreme of Greenwich Pizza
Greenwich is recently boasting about Lasagna Supreme in TV Commercials and print ads. They say that Lasagna Supreme is their best-tasting premium pasta ever! It has three special, cheddar & mozzarella premium cheeses imported beef & noodles, and rich blend of tomato & cream sauce.
Well to me the published …
Marie Callender’s Country Fried Pork Chop
Like I mentioned before, my wife and I ended up picking up some frozen TV dinners at Walmart this past weekend. She chose the Marie Callender’s Country Fried Pork Chop.
It turned out to be an OK dinner for her but wasn’t overly impressive either.
Considering the money, there was plenty …
Coca Cola Zero
The great taste of a coke without the calories. Coca Cola zero tastes just like a regular coke, but it doesn’t have the calories of one. Much better than diet soft drinks, or previous attempts as low calorie sodas. This one tastes like the real thing.
I tried drinking …
Sobe Lifewater
I’m sure by now that lots of people have tried the new Sobe Lifewater. It’s a flavored vitamin enhanced water beverage. I avoided it for a long time because everyone kept telling me that it was gross. I didn’t stop and ask them at the time if any of …
Dark Mayan Coffee
Growing up, my mother drank a cup of General Foods Instant coffee everyday. I use to love to sneak a drink when she was not looking. How that coffee always tasted so good to me. So when my sister gave me Dark Mayan Chocolate coffee …
Kroger Crunchy Granola Bars
I really do love these crunchy and flavorful granola bars! This is a variety pack that contains two packages each of the following flavors: peanut butter, oats and honey and brown sugar and maple. That’s six packages all together and in each package is two granola bars, so that’s …
Pizzetta
You guys know what Pizzetta is? This is actually a very delicious type of recipe that I find truly crunchy and extremely delicious.
My mom loves to make this very much and I find it truly delicious. There are lots of fillings that you can eat with …
Anchor butter
My niece once told me that she will not eat bread unless it has a sandwich spread. Of course, a bread’s taste will be enhanced through those spreads. I always buy varieties of these. I sometimes buy butter, a cheese spread, a chocolate spread or any other sandwhich spread. …
Tesco Value Golden Vegetable Savoury Rice
This Golden Vegetable Savoury Rice is from Tesco’s bargain ‘Value’ range which I have been sampling a lot of lately. This was a very low price at only 28 pence for a sachet and I would use one sachet as a side dish to two, or possibly three …
Encore Coffee
I like the taste of coffee, but I have a sensitive stomach so I cant drink it very often. I can have about a shot glass worth of coffee before my stomach gets upset. So when I saw the add for the coffee that’s supposed to be …
Campbell’s Select Harvest Light: Maryland-Style Crab Soup
I had never tried Select Harvest Maryland-Style Crab, but the Campbell’s brand is one that you can count on for quality and I have been enjoying their soups for years. I am all for trying something new, so I decided to give it a whirl.
The label, which shows a …
Jays OKeDoke Buttery Popcorn
I bought a large bag of 8 oz bag of popcorn at a local store for $2.99 for a party that I was running late to. I poured the popcorn into a bowl, set it on the food table and left to mingle with others. The bag wasn’t flimsy. …
Tropicana Orange Juice
As I live in Florida, I tend to be spoiled with the real deal: fresh orange juice. With orange trees in abundance, it is simply about picking the oranges off trees and squeezing the oranges for super fresh juice. Even if we didn’t have oranges nearby, we can head …
Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt - Yummy Strawberry
I have started eating yogurt because of its benefits to my body. The first yogurt I ate again for the longest time was the Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt, Raspberry Apple flavor. Today, I took one from the six-pack yogurt that I bought. This time, the flavor is Yummy Strawberry.
I …
Nestle After Eights Dark Chocolate Mints
These luxurious chocolates have been around for many years and I can remember back in the 1970s our family always had After Eights at Christmas especially. They are individually wrapped, wafer thin dark chocolate squares with a peppermint fondant inside.
These chocolate mints are not at all …

My wife and I were hungry for tacos this past weekend and decided to pick up a taco dinner kit when we were at the store.
We had quite a few brands to choose from so we ended up just picking the cheapest one. That happened to be a taco …
Lipton Pasta Sides
Lipton Pasta Sides are a quick and easy to make. They are also cheap. Eveyone in our family enjoys them. I especially like to stock up on them, when they are on sale at Price Chopper. They have a 10/$10 sale, so thats a dollar a bag. They have …
ACT II -Movie Theater Butter popcorn
Not really a popcorn lover, I do occasionally enjoy a bag of it, when I’m not in the mood for a heavier snack. And even more infrequently do I eat it during the movies. But if I AM going to have it, I prefer anything that …
Del Monte Fruit Naturals
If you like a combination of fruit blended with the taste of delicious fruit juice then I would recommend the Del Monte fruit Naturals cup. Del Monte is a really great fruit brand that I have trusted for over ten years they make all the best canned fruits,fruit cups,dried …
Albertsons extra crunchy peanut butter
I just love this peanut butter. As promised on the label it is one hundred percent extra crunchy. I was little skeptical about it dark yellow color but it turned out very good and I am very happy about the purchase. Albertsons extra crunchy peanut butter cost around three …
Beefsteak tomatoes
I am the first to admit that I am not the world’s greatest gardener, but usually I am able to grow pretty good tomatoes. The one exception is the beefsteak variety. Even the brand of beefsteak tomatoes seems to make little difference. The tomatoes plants do fine and even …
Stouffer’s Steak Mushroom Cheddar Flatbread Melt
Stouffer’s Steak Mushroom Cheddar Flatbread Melt is a very tasty meal that I look forward to having - with side dishes, that is, because alone, this melt is not filling enough for dinner. With side dishes, and I will have before me a meal that is quite wonderful and …
Lu Pim’s Jaffa cakes
I really like Jaffa cakes and I like them fresh soft and hydrated. Well maybe the word hydrated aren’t the best one but what I want to say is that sometimes these Jaffa cakes can be very dry and not very tasty. So I don’t like to experiment with …
Americana Mayonnaise
Earlier on in my life, I wasn’t really a lover of mayonnaise. It was only until recently though that I’ve come to appreciate mayonnaise in a good sandwich. I’ve also realised that not all mayonnaise are as good as others in terms of taste especially after trying quite a …
Purity Multi-grain Corn Bread (with whole wheat and Raisins)
A popular brand of bread, bulla and bun here is Purity, and even though I disliked their food a few years ago, I’ve come to like a few of their products just recently, and I’m not sure if it’s because they might have changed a couple of their recipes. …
Jimmy Dean Griddle Sandwiches
Not long after McDonald’s introduced their McGriddles breakfast sandwiches, I tried one - and have been hooked ever since. The McGriddle is a fast, convenient breakfast food that I can buy via the drive-thru window on my way to school every morning. And that food tastes so, so good. …
Thomas Bagels Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Bagels
One of my favorite times of year is around the holidays because of all the cool foods that come out. One of my favorites is Thomas’ Pumpkin Spice Bagels. I bought mine at Kroger for $2.86 per back of 6 pre sliced bagels.
Personally, I like them a lot. They …
Mrs. Paul’s Crunchy Fish Sticks
I loved eating fish sticks when I was a kid. Recently I was feeling a little nostalgic, so I bought a box of store brand fish sticks from my local grocery store. That ended up being a big mistake, because the fish sticks were mostly breading, and …
Great Value Pieces & Stems Mushrooms
Great Value Pieces & Stems Mushrooms come in a small 7 oz metal can, priced at only 50 cents. The mushrooms (champignons) are cut into large pieces, which I prefer to another brand that has really small ones, hard to even pick up with a fork as you eat …
WaWa Meatball Sub (Shorti size)
WaWa’s line of hot subs are made to order, available to order through the touch screens located at the deli. Among the options available is a meatball marinara sub, which goes on sale during their Summer seasonal sale - a “shorti” (6 inch) is available for $2.99.
