Ledo Quattro Ice cream
Quattro is one of the best Ledo ice crem but I must say that I am really disappointed with these tastes. I usually like all 4 of these tastes but I don’t know why I don’t like them in Quattro.
Stracciatella is not very refreshing as I though it would …
Chinese Stir-Fry Noodles
Once this Chinese dish was only available in Chinese restaurants. Now, it is being sold practically everywhere. Businesses have jumped on the bandwagon with each providing their own competitive advantage over the other.
For those who are not familiar with the food, it is raw noodle stir fried in …
Nestle Hot Chocolate Mix
I love Nestle hot chocolate! It’s delicious. It’s so creamy and sweet! When I was younger, I used to purposely leave a little of the clumpy mix at the bottom of my cup so I could spoon out the gooey goodness after I was done drinking the hot cocoa. …
Pringles Chedder Cheese Flavor
As a chip lover, I was very excited to try Pringles Chedder Cheese Flavored Chips. At a $1.50 (at my local dollar store) for the supper stack can I figured that I would give it a try. If I didn’t like it I would be out a $1.50 but …
Ragu Clip it and Pour it Pouch
I’m a big pasta person. And, even though I’m not a huge fan of Ragu spaghetti sauce; I saw a commercial about their clip it and pour it pouches and, being a bit fan of convenience, I figured it would be worth investing in.
Overall, I’m happy with my purchase.
I …
Bisto Gravy Granules
I will start this review by pointing out that Bisto Gravy Granules do not actually contain meat and so are suitable for vegetarians like me. I deprived myself of gravy with my (vegetarian) bangers and mash for years and years because I assumed that Bisto contained some kind …
Aunt Jemima French Toast and Sausage
Aunt Jemima French Toast and Sausage is a relatively decent breakfast that most certainly could have been tastier, but as it is, I did not feel as if my money had gone to waste. This breakfast consists of French Toast and sausage, nothing more. When I prepared it, I …
Hershey’s Holiday Assortment
Every year I like to buy Hershey’s Holiday Assortment candies. This year, the big package was 55 ounces. Sometimes it’s a little more than that and sometimes less. Also what the assortment contains can vary.
One of the reasons I like the assortment is that it’s always …
The Laughing Cow cheese
The Laughing Cow has a variety of cheese products from France. Do not ask me to read the French version of its brand, however, because I do not know how to pronounce it.
I discovered this brand on the imported section of our local supermarket. It costs more than the …
Michael Angelo’s Chicken Parmesan with Spaghetti and Sauce
I’ve occasionally enjoyed another of Michael Angelo’s Italian cuisine, so when I saw this new dish, I had to give it a try. I’m a spaghetti fiend so anytime there is a chance to enjoy some good pasta, I’m there.
Michael Angelo’s Chicken Parmesan with Spaghetti and Sauce is …
Marie Callender’s Frozen Chicken Pot Pies
I got a whole box of these because I like chicken pot pies and the box said that there’s some inside. The pies can be microwaved or baked, like lots of other frozen foods. Preparing this frozen meal is a breeze. I have tasted the microwaved and the baked …
Payless Pancit Shanghai (Oriental Chicken Flavor)
I’ve been looking for some other alternative to the instant noodle packs I’m used to buying for emergency food. What used to cost Php5 per pack of instant noodles is now more than Php8. It’s not that much really but if you’re trying to live on a budget, …
Chock Full O’ Nuts Coffee
I am not a huge coffee drinker like alot of people. I generally drink 2 cups in the morning and that is it. But I am extremely picky about the coffee I do drink. I know that their are many great brands out there, but my …
Baker’s Inn Bread
Baker’s Inn Breads are wonderful. Baker’s Inn Whole Grain Honey White is my favorite. It has a distinctive texture unlike regular sliced bread. It’s slightly dense yet soft and fresh. Baker’s Inn breads are more nutritious than many other breads. The Whole Grain Honey White …
Cadbury Old Gold Dark Chocolate
Cadbury Old Gold Dark Chocolate according to one promotion that I read in the internet is smooth, rich, dark chocolate that’s worth its weight in gold. Just the mere reading of that line made my mouth watery. So the next time I shop I made it a point …
Nutralite Bread spread
We are all extremely fond of butter. I love eating everything with a layer of butter. My children even eat biscuits topped with butter. Butter is said to change the taste of food to quite an extent. The food prepared in butter tastes better that that prepared in other …
Kellogg’s Frosties
Kellogg’s Frosties is definitely one of my favorite cereal brands. I love having this as a daily breakfast and I never get tired of its taste. Kellogg’s Frosties is very nutritious and delicious, it is perfect for your whole family. The box enumerates the essential vitamins and minerals needed …
Fazer Kismet liquorish candy
Liquorish is the kind of candy I crave once in a while, but it’s actually pretty unique in terms of flavor, there’s absolutely nothing like it out there. It’s a perfect combination of sweet and salty and the texture feels really nice too. It’s pretty chewy, but it’s not as …
Spam Lite
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 …
Mrs. Butterworth’s Original Syrup
I have to say that I believe that Mrs. Butterworth stole some of Aunt Jemima’s thunder. That’s based on personal experience because after being pretty loyal to Jemima, we ended up switching over to Mrs. Butterworth’s Original Syrup more often than not. There are still other brands …
McDonald’s Angus Snack Wrap - Bacon and Cheese
On a spontaneous whim today, I decided to drop by McDonald’s, which I almost never do, and try one of their Angus Snack Wraps. There were three versions available and the one I went with was the Bacon and Cheese. It looked good and sounded tasty.
This product …
Entenmann’s 8 Rich Frosted Donuts
There really is not anything all that remarkable about Entenmann’s 8 Rich Frosted Donuts. They are simply chocolate frosted donuts with a yellow cake interior. Simple is not necessarily a bad thing if the simple ingredients result in a tasty treat, but in this particular instance, simple is not …
Calzones at the J
The “J” cafeteria at Humboldt State University serves calzones for lunch every tuesday. A calzone is like a small pizza without the sauce that is folded in half and closed, so it’s like a big home-made cheesey pizza pocket. The cost is $1.10 with a meal plan …
Fresh Express Salads
My wife and I are trying to eat healthier. And, one of the ways we are doing that is by trying to have a salad at every meal (or at least every meal where a salad is appropriate).
I have managed to get some of the ingredients out of my …
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Butter Substitute
I love butter on everything I eat. I bake with butter and use it to top every type of bread. I like to use butter to saute and even fry on occasion. Although I love butter and think it absolutely makes every meal delicious, I was trying to cut …
NIPS chocolate parfait candies
Nips Chocolate Parfait 30 calorie candies!
Finally, a candy that does not include 160,523,794 calories per piece! Okay, so maybe I exaggerated a little bit but honestly. Most regular candy will cost you an arm and a leg in the daily calorie department just by eating one piece. …
Kroger Low Fat Granola with Raisins
Kroger Low Fat Granola with Raisins is very similar to Kellogg’s Low Fat Granola with Raisins. In fact, the two cereals are identical aside from one being a store brand that sells at a lower price and one being a name brand that sells for a more expensive price. …
Rond noir (Ferrero Rocher ) chocolate candy
Ferrero Rocher, the famous Italian candy factory, is a funny creature… They have aggressive marketing, including many —“ often slightly tacky - TV advertisements featuring »posh« people in very lush surroundings. And the packaging of their products is, no doubt, appealing to the eye.
So, judging by the design, Ferrero …
International Delight Mocha Sweet & Creamy Iced Coffee
International Delight is known for their delicious creamers that ultimately brings freshly brewed coffee to life. With that being said, I decided to try international delight’s mocha sweet and creamy iced coffee drink. It was only $3.99 so I figured for a carton of iced coffee it wouldn’t hurt. …
Great Value Chocolate Flavored Syrup
I use Great Value Chocolate Flavored Syrup mostly to make chocolate milk. It can also be used as ice cream or pie topping. The syrup is made with real cocoa and has rich chocolate taste, not any worse than big brand names like Hershey’s. I had tried Hershey’s before …
Marang: A Must Eat Fruit When You Are in Asia
Most people would recognize a durian when they see and smell one, but personally, my favorite fruit is Marang. According to wikipedia, this fruit is common in Borneo, but wiki does not know that this fruit is also grown in the Southern part of the Philippines. It is not …
Velveeta Cheese Sauce Box Packets
The first time I ever had cheese sauce on anything was when I was in high school doing a fundraiser for student government. I was in charge of the hot dog and nachos stand, and I found myself eating more of the cheese sauce than I was serving.
I …
Lindt Lindor Assorted Chocolate Truffles
When I had went on vacation in the USA I had encountered truffles made by a company by the name of Lindt. I soon found out that these were delicious Swiss chocolates and I was very delighted when around Chrismtas time I saw a new assortment of the class …
Goldstar Television
I have a Goldstar Television in my room. Although slightly lesser known than the branded and heavily advertised counterparts, Goldstar to its credit has been silently making high quality products that really do endure the test of time. I’ve had mine since 1999 when my sister wed and got …
Fit & Active Reduced Sugar Fruits of the Forest Spread
I like this spread because it offers a blend of fruits, not just one. It’s not that easy surprisingly to find a spread that contains multiple fruits, but this one does, and I’m happy with it. In it, there’s supposed to be raspberries, cherries, black raspberries and red berries. …
Ben & Jerrys - Pumpkin Cheesecake
As a lifelong fan and connoisseur of the Ben & Jerry’s brand of ice cream, I have had the chance to sample a majority of their offerings. My plan is to have a thorough review of each flavor over the next few months.
My first review is for a …
Eggo: Strawberry Bake Shop Twists
Eggo: Strawberry Bake Shop Twists are, admittedly, a little better than the apple variety, although the improvement is not so great that I feel that I will be purchasing these again. Many of the problems that plague the apple twists re-surface here. For example, there is not a whole …
Harvest Hill Ultra Moist Yellow Cake Mix
The Harvest Hill Ultra Moist Yellow Cake Mix can be used to make either a full-sized cake or several cupcakes. This yellow cake mix is sold at Dollar Tree stores for one dollar. There’s a reason I like this cake mix more than what can be found in grocery …
Bremer Select Italian Style Meatballs
Finding good frozen meatballs isn’t a task that is easily accomplished. Frozen meatballs simply don’t taste as good or come as solid as homemade meatballs. Making meatballs at home though requires time and time is not always something that I have in abundance. Thus, purchasing pre-made frozen meatballs for …
Nature’s Own: Flax Plus Maple Pecan Crunch
Nature’s Own: Flax Plus Maple Pecan Crunch is a cereal that I was slightly disappointed in. The reason I was a little disappointed in this cereal is because I felt that there could have and there should have been more pecans included. The amount of pecans in the cereal …
Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular flavor instant coffee
Out of so many brands of instant coffee, I still love to drink Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular instant coffee. The Nescafe 3-in-1 Strong is too strong for me, and the Nescafe 3-in-1 Mild has no coffee taste at all.
At least Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular instant coffee mix has the aroma …
Trader Joe’s Kalamata Olive Hummus
I was intrigued by this hummus because I love the taste of kalamata olives. These are large purplish-black almond-shaped Greek olives that have a lovely texture that is similar to meat. Trader Joe’s hummus tends to have a pasty, rather than creamy, texture to it, which is not something …
Milford Ingwer Pur, ginger tea
I really like ginger root. I always ad it to my food and also to the teas that I am making but ginger root can be very expensive and it does not last for a long time. Sometimes I buy it when it is not discount and it just goes …
Yakult
I only drink a certain brand of milk but when I experienced constipation and even stomached I drink Yakult. What does this yakult benefit for my health? It has live lactobacillus that help our stomachache and intestine in digestion and prevent from infection.
This yakult was made a many years …
Hershey’s cherry cheesecake bar
Who doesn’t love Hershey’s chcolates? And by “Hershey’s” I mean all the Kit Kats, all the kisses and all the Reese’s. I don’t know, probably there’re peope like that, but I’m not one of them. I have to admit that I used to be a big fan of those and …
Pillsbury Grands! Homestyle Blueberry Biscuits
I really enjoy having biscuits, or at the very least, some kind of bread, with my breakfast and dinner meals. It makes the meal more enjoyable and filling if I have scrumptious biscuits or bread to compliment whatever it is that I’m having. That’s why I’m always on the …
Reese’s Whipps
I like chocolate and sweets a lot and I always go through the snacks and chocolate aisle looking at candy bars, chocolates, cookies, etc. I had run across something called Reese’s Whipps the other day and it interested me. I did not purchase it then but today I finally …
Luna & Larry’s Organic Coconut Bliss Ice Cream in Naked Coconut
One of my favorite ice creams to eat once in awhile is Luna & Larry’s Coconut Bliss Ice cream in Naked Coconut. The flavor taste just like fresh coconut milk with shredded coconut throughout it. The texture of the ice cream is very creamy and cold. I usually like …
Shur Fine Buttery Syrup 24 ounce bottle
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 …
Tim Tams White biscuits
I’ve always enjoyed eating Arnott’s Tim Tam biscuits since I was a little kid, and after not having them for a few years, I decided to buy a packet while I was at the grocery store recently. To my surprise, I noticed that they’d added many new …
