Stouffer’s Garlic Chicken Pasta
Stouffer’s Garlic Chicken Pasta is a meal that I did not enjoy all that much. The reason that I did not enjoy it too much is because I was disappointed in the lack of garlic that was supposed to be included and seasoning the meal in the form of …
Three Barrels French Brandy
One of the first drinks that could be termed —˜spirits’ in present-day terms was —˜cognac’. Now the French lay claim to many inventions and they have every right to do so. The first moving film was made by a Frenchman (strangely enough, it was filmed in a front garden …
Oligo Coco
Oligo Coco is a 5 in 1 chocolate malt drink mixed with oligofructose and DHA/EPA. It is also easy to prepare - just empty the sachet contents into a cup (each package contains 15 sachets), add in 200ml of hot water (around 85 celcius) and stir well. …
Milk Duds
Milk Duds are one of my all time favorite candy, so I just had to write a review about them. Milk Duds are sold at most stores, and you can get them at movie theaters. They make a great snack to eat while watching a movie, or playing video …
Matador Beef Jerky
Product Description: Bag of barbecue flavored beef jerky. I found it at one of our local grocery stores this morning for $4.99.
What I liked about this product: Well, for one, I like the fact the jerky is much softer than most other brands. I usually end up buying jerky …
Yogi Lavender and Honey Stress Relief Tea
I have been having problem getting to sleep and staying asleep lately. I decided to try the tea approach I have tried several different sleepy time teas, I either did not like the flavor or they did not make me sleepy. About a week ago I stated …
Pizza Hut Chicken Alfredo
I mentioned in another review that I ordered pasta from Pizza Hut this past weekend. Along with lasagna, I ended up purchasing some of their chicken Alfredo (they had a 2-for-one sale going on).
I wasn’t a huge fan of their lasagna (which is normally my favorite food), but this …
Albertson’s Whipped Salad Dressing
Albertson’s makes a whipped salad dressing that taste superb. It sells for thirty three cents at the local United Grocery Outlet Store in Crossville, Tennessee. It comes in a 16 ounces jar that has 32 servings per container with about 70 calories per serving which is comparable to …
Boar’s Head Reduced Sodium Turkey Breast
I have long since given up buying pre-packaged cold cuts for sandwiches. For this reason, I have decided to buy freshly deli-sliced turkey breast for all my sandwiches. I visited my local Kroger and had them slice the reduced sodium Boar’s Head turkey breast. …
Big Butt Doppelbock by Leinenkugel
Yes, it is true I like Big Butt’s. Well, at least I like Leinenkugel’s Big Butt. This is a great example of a doppelbock style beer made by the Wisconsin microbrewery. As we move from the heavy winter beers towards the lighter beers of spring, doppelbock style beers will …
Guiness beer
I have not tasted many brands of beer. However, one of the very few I have gotten to taste is a brand of beer called Guiness. I believe it is a beer which comes from either the UK or Ireland too. Nevertheless, I know that I have seen …
Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Game Day Party Combo
If you’re a big football fan, then what could be better than sitting down with friends and family to watch your favorite team go head to head with a team that’s sure to put up a good fight? Just about the only thing that could make such a game …
FirstNice Peanut Chocolate
The other day at Lidl shop I saw FirstNice Peanut Chocolate; I like Snickers, which is also made of chocolate and peanuts so I wanted to try this chocolate too. It didn’t cost much, about 50 Euro cents so I decided to buy it, you get 100g of chocolate …
Betty Crocker - Bisquick Pancake Mix
Betty Crocker - Bisquick Pancake Mix is not a product that I will purchase again. I do not care for pancake mixes that require water to be added as opposed to milk. Milk makes pancakes much better and the only reason I purchased this mix was because the grocery …
Mentos mini candies orange
When I was younger I remember that Mentos candies were really popular, everybody liked it and everybody was buying it all the time. I remember they were coming in really big packs and they were of very different colours.
About a week ago I saw it in one shop that …
Kashi GOLEAN Toasted Berry Crumble Cereal
I love yogurt with granola sprinkled over the top, but I wanted to try something new so I bought a box of the Kashi GOLEAN Toasted Berry Crumble Cereal and sprinkled a cup of that cereal over my plain yogurt instead with some fresh berries. To my surprise it …
Bagoong or Shrimp Paste
It’s actually called shrimp paste and it smells horrible uncooked. Well, it should, after all the ingredients were left to rot in huge jars. But if you sault it with garlic, onions, tomatoes and pork, it tastes wonderful. Just forget how it was processed. Bagoong is much like an …
Tabasco
Tabasco is a must have in every kitchen counter. Tabasco is a great hot sauce that is perfect for almost anything. i personally love using tabasco for burgers, pizza, pasta, sandwiches and anything. i love using this product even in my cooking to make my dishes fire up and …
Morrisons Milk Chocolate Bar with Roasted Piedmont Hazelnuts
I always buy myself some chocolate when I go grocery shopping so I can get over the stress of shopping with choccie and a magazine when I get back. I tried some of Morrisons own brand —˜The Best’ Milk Chocolate with Roasted Piedmont Hazelnuts and I really liked …
Pasta Express
When I saw the Pasta Express on television, I had to get one. My wife and I are constantly eating pasta and, even if all it did was free up a burner on our stove, it was worth the investment.
After using it for the first time, I have a …
Al Haaq’s Potato Salad
I absolutely love potato salad and when I started working at my current job all the workers and even the boos kept on talking about Al Haaq’s BBQ food. I put it off for a long time but one evening I finally gave in and bought a box of …
Figaro: Hickory Liquid smoke and barbecue marinade
So, I was introduced to this product by my older sister, who came over to dinner. She bought over this little bottle called Figaro: Hickory Liquid smoke and barbecue. I had never previously heard of such of thing as ’smoke’ in a bottle. I thought who ever made this …
Del Monte Ketchup
I always love eating with ketchup to go with my meal especially if the meal is fried or dry. Ketchups always solve the problem and it makes the meal wonderfully tasty. I have read from somewhere that ketchups started as a medicine taken in the early years and it …
Marigold Juice
My 2.5 year old son loves to drink juice. Earlier I used to give home-made fresh apple juice and orange juice. But it used to be boring and cumbersome process for me. My friend once suggested to try Marigold apple juice. My son is little fussy and I thought …
Amy’s Organic Salsa Medium
I was looking around a newly opened “Organics” store at a mall a week ago and this has caught my eye. I’ve been having this hankering for yummy salsa so I picked up a jar instead of the organic potato chips they were selling. I’m not usually one of …
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, …
Kinder Pingui Caramel soft cake, by Ferrero
Kinder Pingui caramel is a new product on the shelves in the stores and of course I just had to taste it. I like caramel in these kind of things. I even realised that I adore it caramel McSundae at McDonalds, I adore Kinder products with caramel like Kinder Maxi …
Del Monte Red Cane Vinegar
I used to be just contented with whatever brand of vinegar I used. But when an exposé about how synthetic vinegar harms out health came out I became very investigative. I practically read all the descriptions of all the vinegar brands in the market and it is only …
Morton’s Sea Salt (Coarse Salt)
I love salty food, and I buy a lot of different salts. This is one, though, that I have found isn’t that great on the food after it is prepared. The only exception is for pretzels. It really is great for those. For other foods, …
Lucky Me Sweet Chili Pancit Canton
As I said before I am not fond of eating Spicy Foods. Spicy foods leave my nose to have colds. However, I am fond of eating Pancit Canton and I only trust Lucky Me with that. As you trust a certain brand, it do not gives justice if you …
L’oven Fresh Mini Muffins Chocolate
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, …
Bob’s Red Mill Nutritional Yeast
I’m crazy when it comes to trying out new, weird and unknown foods (though they have to be vegan). I literally spend about 1/4 of my income on Iherb, which is a great website to buy health foods and natural skincare from. I rarely like any of the advertised superfoods, …
Food Club Graham Crackers
Again, I was out shopping for snacks for my daughter’s kindergarten class and ended up picking up the cheapest snacks I could find. One of those snacks happened to be Food Club Graham Crackers.
I have already commented about the snack crackers from this brand, which I wasn’t impressed with. …
Hostess Ho Hos
I find Hostess Ho Hos to be an enjoyable although by no means spectacular snack treat. Ho Hos have a slightly hard chocolate exterior and house soft as well as moist chocolate cake as well as rich white creme. I find the chocolate flavor to be quite authentic as …
Jordan’s Skinny Girl Pumpkin Spice Syrup
I am on this insane mostly protein diet. And for whatever reason I decided I wanted to start it in November. One huge caveat to this amazing idea I had, I love the holiday flavor coffee you can get from starbucks or Panera or any of those places. Problem …
Simply Potatoes Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes
I love mashed potatoes and always have. They are one of my favorite comfort foods. However, I am the only member of my family that likes them and I am not much of a cook. Furthermore, I don’t like to bother much in the kitchen when …
Nutter Butters Cookies
I had never had nutterbutters cookies until last week when my boyfriend brought over a box. Since then I have been slightly addicted to them. Nutter butters are peanut butter cookies that have peanut butter in between them. Sort of like an Oreo with peanut butter instead have chocolate …
Welch’s Sparkling Grape Soda
Recently I did a review for Welch’s Strawberry Soda. I mentioned there that years ago there was a really delicious Strawberry Crush, that I rarely find now and I’m not even sure it’s still made. I had purchased the Welch’s to see how it compared. Honestly, …
Stouffer’s Pork Cutlet
Stouffer’s Pork Cutlet would be pretty bland if not for the toppings that are found on the pork cutlet. The pork cutlet itself is really pretty tasteless and dull, although it is fairly tender, so at least that is a plus. The toppings that I am referring to is …
Dollar Tree Bakery Fresh Molasses Cookies
I’ve only come across these cookies at the Dollar Tree. They sell a couple different varieties, and they’re all pretty good. Molasses cookies tend to be really chewy because of, well, the molasses. These cookies are no exception. They are indeed very chewy, and they are especially good when …
Blue Bunny FrozFruit Strawberries & Cream
Blue Bunny FrozFruit Strawberries & Cream is a pretty enjoyable treat that I like to have every now and then. I find the combination of strawberry and cream to be a wonderful one that works really well and offers my taste buds a lot of flavor to appreciate. The …
Fuller’s ‘London Pride’ beer
I am sitting here with a contented expression on my face. Why? Well, mostly because I have just been enjoying a draught of one of the delights of the summer (and of the winter too, if truth be told). That particular delight is the consumption of a rich-tasting, …
Little Debbie Snacks PB&J Oatmeal Creme Pies
Little Debbie Snacks PB&J Oatmeal Creme Pies are tastier than the plain Oatmeal Creme Pies, in my opinion. The reason I find them to be tastier is because first of all, the regular creme pies are just too sweet. These are not as sweet. Plus, these offer more variety …
Why I Like Burger KIng
I like Burger King because of the great food that they serve there.
The whopper burgers are very tasty because, I love the way they are cooked which is fire grilled. The french fries are very tasty as well. I am very pleased with the wide selection of food menus …
Yummy Frito Lay’s Chips
Frito Lay is as common as Doritos. We all each chips for lunch, snacks, and with our dinner. The wonderful thing about the Wavy Chips is that they are made with all natural oil, another way to eat healthier chips.
Wavy Original Chips has a crunchy texture. These chips …
Pepperidge Farms - Vegetables in Pastry Broccoli in cheese sauce
I picked up Pepperidge Farms Vegetables in Pastry Broccoli in Cheese Sauce, by chance at my local supermarket.
I was looking for something different and healthy to have for supper, and these two pastry-pockets seemed to fit the bill.
We don’t get a lot of Pepperidge Farm products in my small …
Campbell’s Jammin’ Jerk Chicken with Rice & Beans Soup
I was recently able to try one of Campbell’s Chunky soups - their microwaveable Chunky Jammin’ Jerk Chicken with Rice & Beans Soup.
I’m not a big fan of Campbell’s Chunky soups nor am I one who likes super spicy foods, so I was hesitant at first to try …
Conching: Rosquillos
Its been a long time since I ate a true “Pinoy” food; Luckily as I went through some biscuits at the “snack section” of the Mercury Drug Store, I found a Rosquillos Biscuits. This is a simple biscuit made from sugar, wheat flour, margarine, and eggs. I missed the …
Wondra Quick Mixing Flour by Gold Medal
I have a history of making lumpy gravies. I’ve tried sifting flour into it, adding little bits at a time etc and have not once succeeded in making a gravy that is lump free. Knowing how much I struggle with my gravies, my grandmother recommended trying Wondra …
Bakers & Chefs Cheddar Cheese Sauce
I have a large family, and we have four kids total. They all love to eat, and one of their favorites is nachos. While shopping at Sam’s Club, we found this product. It comes in a very large can that weighs 6 lbs 10 oz and …
