el Monterey taquitos - snack food
We bought a box of these el Monterey chicken and cheese taquitos as well as some other snacks because we were having a bunch of friends over and we thought they would be good party food. We were right. They were easy to make and quite quick, too.
These …
Our Family Ravioli
I had to grab something quick for lunch this morning and I ended up buying a can of Our Family Ravioli in Meat Sauce.
It was an OK lunch but it could have been better.
I like the Our Family label for price. But, to be honest, the savings wasn’t really …
Adobe Chicken Burrito
I have to admit that I am absolutely addicted to these burritos. Willy’s was once a place that I passed by without a second thought. But one day, my company had lunch catered in. We were allowed to make our own burritos or tacos …
Krusteaz Bakery Style Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix
Krusteaz Bakery Style Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix is a cookie mix that I am really pretty pleased with. I have found that the chocolate chip cookies that originate from this mix come quite chewy and the flavor is really very scrumptious! The chocolate chunks literally are chunks and what …
Pioneer Instant Gravy Mix
Gravy is an all around good sauce to go with almost anything. I like gravy, but am not the best at making it. I found a trusted instant gravy brand that I could trust. The Pioneer instant gravy mix is done within minutes and is thick, hot and fresh. …
Folger’s Vanilla Biscotti Coffee
Without fail, I begin each day with a hot cup of coffee. Over the years I’ve tried countless varieties and Folger’s Vanilla Biscotti is one of the best.
So many pre-ground coffees tend to dry out while they are on shelves in the grocery store or in …
Kellogg’s Rice Krispies
An outstanding way in which you can start your day is with Kellogg’s Rice Krispies. This is a very classic breakfast cereal that has been around for many years. While the cereal has been around for awhile, the taste is still the same and just as good …
Dannon Activia Drinks
My friend suggested that I try Dannon Activia products for my often-upset stomach, because she said they always help settle her stomach and keep her system working well and feeling good. I bought a package of 4 drinks, just to see if they did anything at all. With frequent …
Rice Dream Rice Milk, Original Flavor
I don’t eat or drink anything that comes from an animal, so rice milk is one of the options I use when I substitute milk. Rice Dream Rice Milk has always been my favorite brand of rice milk. I love the name (and the company name, Imagine Foods) for …
Trader Darwin’s Cold Pressed Flax Seed Oil
I had heard about the many benefits of flax seed oil. Namely that it is an important ingredient in keeping your skin moist and young looking.To acheive that end I decided to buy some flax seed oil one of the times I was at Trader Joe’s.For those of …
Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls
My wife and I had the house to ourselves Saturday night and ended up sleeping in on Sunday morning. Since it was the first time we had a quiet house in over a month, I ran to the store to get something easy yet different for breakfast.
I bought Breakfast …
Cappuccino K plus
I never buy K plus product because they are products made buy a big discount chaine called Konzum and they usually suck because they are of a very low quality like most discount brands. So if you ask me why I bought this K plus cappuccino my answer would …
Betty Crocker - Cookie Brownie Bars
Betty Crocker - Cookie Brownie Bars offer an interesting combination creation that I think works fairly well. What this combination creation is it is like a cookie and brownie all rolled into one. Like with a chocolate chip cookie, there is the chocolate, and then there is the dough. …
Maruchan Ramen Shrimp Flavored Soup
I love shrimp and I was drawn to this ramen soup because of it. I thought I would love it equally. In general, I enjoy the taste of ramen and I think it makes a good and quick, if sodium-rich, meal. I love the soft noodles and savory broth.
When …
Marie Callender’s Fresh Flavor Steamer: Chicken Fajita Bowl
Lately, Marie Callender’s has put out a lot of new varieties in its frozen food line, but in regular meals and in their Fresh Flavor Steamers. I’ve been checking out a few, most recently buying one of their Chicken Fajita Bowls to evaluate.
This new variety contains sliced chicken …
Sainsbury’s Basics Chocolate Dessert Mix
This chocolate dessert from Sainsbury’s ‘Basics’ range is supposed to be like a cheap version of Angel Delight and it is only 9 pence per sachet. I frequently buy a cheap version of Angel Delight from Tesco’s ‘Value’ range but as they do not do a chocolate flavour …
Sugar Free Natura
Now I am going to write a little about the sugar free natura, which is a very good substitute to the sugar. Those patients who have the complaint of high sugar in their body basically use it. And not only that, the sugar free natura is also …
Dillman Farm - All Natural Cherry Butter Fruit Spread
I do not feel that the Dillman Farm - All Natural Cherry Butter Fruit Spread goes quite as well with my morning breakfast as the apple or pumpkin or blueberry spreads do, but I must say that this spread does have a very strong and quite rich cherry flavor …
Bel Air Mega Sub
Bel Air’s deli has a bunch of different sandwiches to choose from, but their granddaddy has to be their Mega Sub. This thing is positively huge, and it is definitely far more than one person can eat, or at least, that’s my take on it. For it …
CHI-CHI’S FIESTA SALSA
When you make sauces, such as speghetti or any pasta type foods, do you find that it just is missing some zip? I mean it is just not ’special’? I make pasta all the time, and I make sure that I add salsa to it, for that special zippy …
Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Peanut Butter Cup
I must say, compared to the double chocolate and Oreo varieties, this Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Peanut Butter Cup really turned out to be quite the disappointment, even more so than the no-bake cheesecake varieties. The reason I found this product to be disappointing is because there was …
Tropical Apricot Pineapple Preserve
Tropical Apricot Pineapple preserve is my favorite jams available now in US. But I would never tell that this is the best tasting jams. There are lots of things that can make this jam even better. The Tropical apricot pineapple jam works best for me with white bread. But …
Totino’s Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
Totino’s pepperoni pizza rolls are mini versions of a regular size pizza. They’re equivalent to two fortune cookies, and packed full of cheese, tomato sauce, and mini squares of pepperoni.
There are two sizes that you can purchase: The large family size bag or the smaller bag. I purchased …
Market Pantry Ready to Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies
The Market Pantry Ready to Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies is a store brand product found only at Target stores. One package makes twenty-four average sized chocolate chip cookies. By average size, I mean cookies that are basically gone after two or three bites. I’m fine with the size of …
Hershey’s 100 Calorie Crisp Wafer Bar
Everywhere you look, there seems to be some type of 100 calorie snack or snack pack around on the store shelves. I’ve tried a lot of these over the years and there are a few I like and a few that I don’t. Hershey’s has started making a couple …
Mrs. Freshley’s Jumbo Honey Bun
I do not feel that there is anything particularly special about Mrs. Freshley’s Jumbo Honey Bun compared with the other honey buns made by other companies that can be found in the grocery store, but I nonetheless enjoyed what was likely my one and only purchase of a Mrs. …
San Mig Coffee Extra Strong
I love coffee and tea (but mostly coffee). When I have the time, I prepare it myself, brewing it as strong as I can. But I usually do not have the luxury of time, and so I have tried looking for instant coffee that is really strong. I stumbled …
Chiz Whiz - Pizza Flavor
Chiz Whiz has been my staple sandwich cheese spread since I was a kid. I usually use it for my sandwiches which I bring to school, or eat it when for snacks during the weekends. I just love the taste and how it blends really well to the taste …
Dad’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip 37.5 g Cookies/Biscuits
I tried this for the first time. I never knew that these delicious cookies have been around since 1929. The package only contains two cookies, but I found them quite satisfying, indeed.
I just can’t resist cookies with oatmeal in them. Maybe because I’ve always loved having …
Iceland Cheese and Onion Quiche
This is a good cheese and onion quiche from Iceland’s own brand, especially considering it was a pretty cheap price. I hoped it would be good because I bought it when I had a few visitors round to my house for a buffet and I really hoped it
would …
Bel Air Malibu Melt
One of my favorite sandwiches is turkey and bacon club. I can’t always get that, but I often like to get variations of it when I am in the mood for a sandwich. Even better sometimes is when it can be heated up or prepared in what …
Blue Bunny Raspberry Vanilla Aspen Frozen Yogurt Granola Bars
Blue Bunny Raspberry Vanilla Aspen Frozen Yogurt Granola Bars did not taste quite as good as I had hoped that they would. Unlike the strawberry variety, which offers a relatively decent strawberry flavor, this raspberry flavor really lacks a good strawberry flavor that I could appreciate and enjoy. Although …
Sonur Tea
Darjeeling Black Tea has always been know for it taste and quality and is no doubt one of the fines products sold around the world. People pay about a 3-4 $ just for 100g of the tea and is really quite an expensive product but it has plenty of …
Pillsbury prepackaged Chocolate Chip Coolies
I am definitely a huge chocolate chip cookie lover. Ironically, the only pre-packaged refrigerated cookies that I’d ever bought were Nestle or store bought from Kroger. I decided to pick up Pillsbury cookies because they were on sale. This is one of those brands that …
Great Value Mushrooms
I was making spaghetti Friday and wanted some mushrooms to go in my sauce. In an effort to save money, I told my wife to pick up the cheapest brand she could find. That turned out to be the Great Value brand.
I have had Great Value products before and …
Greek Gods Yogurt in Honey Flavor
I really like yogurt and one of my favorite brands has to be nestle. However, I saw this product at Publix and since I had a dollar off coupon for the product I decided to get it. They are a little expensive at about three dollars a …
Knorr Royal Pasta Spaghetti
Almost every month, I find time to cook spaghetti during the weekend. It is one of my favorite food. Now when it comes to spaghetti, I always use good quality pasta noodle, it makes my spaghetti more delicious. One brand that I always use is Knorr Royal Pasta Spaghetti. …
Orbit Mist Gum
My wife is starting to chew gum again and has been trying different varieties; which I also take advantage of. One of the more recent brands she purchased was Orbit Mist gum.
It is OK but not great.
The flavor she picked out was some sort of watermelon flavor, which I …
Michelina’s Lean Gourmet Flatbreads - Chicken Club
I’m really not that into buying brands that aren’t well known to me, but every now and then I decide to be brave if something lures me in. I’m not really that health conscious, but I am at the same time trying to go with healthier options if …
McVities Cafe Noir Biscuits
I have just recently discovered these really nice biscuits from the McVitie range, called Cafe Noir. These are flat, oblong biscuits about the size of malted milk biscuits and they consist of a hard, plain biscuit topped with a thick layer of hard, coffee flavoured icing. They …
Kraft Pizza
I am not a huge fan of pre-packaged pizza mixes, but in a hurry one night I decided to try Kraft Pizza Crust Mix with Cheese, Herbs and Tomato Sauce to make a pizza for guests and myself.
This small 450gram orange box cost only $2.99CDN, which I thought, was …
Nature Valley Soft-Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Squares
Sometimes, it’s nice to have something a little sweet after breakfast in the morning. I see the Nature Valley Soft-Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Squares as like an after breakfast dessert, one that isn’t extremely sugary and is small and light enough that I can enjoy even if I’m feeling full …
Max’s Bakeshop’s Wheat Bread
One of the products in Max’s Bakeshop that I’ve tried lately is their wheat bread. I don’t actually like wheat breads, but my husband insisted of buying it because he wanted to try the new sandwich he learned from a TV show.
The Max’s …
Frito Lay All in ONe Party Mix
I can’t say I have ever really been a fan of most party mixes, since most of them I have come in contact with contain things like pretzels which I have never acquired the taste of; but recently, when I saw the “Frito Lay All in One Party Mix” …
Chocolate Samba
I am not a chocolate lover. I am not the kind of girl that loves to eat chocolates and not the kind that craves for one either. Well, to be honest there is only about 5 chocolates that I would be caught eating. Others I would only try but …
Sainsbury’s Eric & Friends Fruit Gums
Sainsbury’s Eric & Friends Fruit Gums are basically kids’ sweets, but that doesn’t stop me from eating them sometimes! That goes double as they are really very inexpensive - a 75 gram pack costs just 39 pence, and the supermarket usually offers a “buy three for a pound” deal …
Knorr Chicken Cubes
I’ve been using Knorr Chicken Cubes for years. My sister told me to add this into my vegetable dish and see for myself how my dish would come out. As I did it I noted it really made a peculiar difference. It gave the food additional savor. Since …
Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway SnackAway Wild Blueberry Muffins
Although I find Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway SnackAway Wild Blueberry Muffins to be an enjoyable treat, I do prefer Little Debbie’s blueberry muffins. The reason for my preference is because these blueberry muffins are not quite as moist or rich in blueberry flavor as those made by Little Debbie. I …
Kroger Death by Chocolate Ice Cream
Like any chocolate fan, I had to check out Kroger store brand Death by Chocolate Ice Cream when I saw it in the freezer in my local Kroger store. In general, there is no standard way to make or recipe for Death by Chocolate desserts, so I was curious …
