Old El Paso Soft Taco Dinner Kit
We decided to make tacos last night because we had some hamburger in our fridge and figured it would be something different.
When we looked in our cupboard to see what we needed, we discovered we had an Old El Paso Soft Taco Dinner Kit.
I have used dinner kits in …
Entenmann’s Frosted Pop’ems
Entenmann’s Frosted Pop’ems are essentially small and compacted donuts that lack an opening in the center. Only one or two bites are required before these pop’ems are no more. They are quite small and ideal for snacking. Well, they would be ideal if the frosted pop’ems had a better …
Carte Noire Instant Cappuccino Coffee
I sent off for a free sample of coffee from the Carte Noire website a long time ago and every now and then they send a sample of a new product, so I was lucky enough to receive a sample of this new instant cappuccino, which is gorgeous. …
Cedarlane Green Chili & Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales
The Cedarlane Green Chili & Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales is a frozen meal that I find somewhat satisfactory, although I was not pleased enough with what this meal had to offer to purchase it again. These tamales suffer from the same problem that the other varieties of tamales suffer …
Glutino Gluten Free Cheddar Crackers
These crackers taste as good, if not better, than regular cheddar crackers. That might seem like a bold statement because gluten free foods often don’t taste the same or as great but in this case, it’s the truth.
The box when purchased contains two silver packages of these crackers. The …
Kellogs Krave Chocolate chip
I’m really picky when it comes down to breakfast food, if isn’t the traditional items like eggs, bacon, sausage or hearty cereals…etc, I won’t touch it. Kellog Krave chocolate chip is a chocolate cereal that looks like small smooth captain crunch squares with chocolate on the inside. Its like …
Oatmeal Crisp Triple Berry
I often eat cereal for breakfast, and have been trying to eat more healthy cereals. I am now on my third box of Oatmeal Crisp Triple Berry, which I like because it is crunchy and flavourful.
I like the bits of dried berry, although I do find the strawberry pieces …
Banquet Chicken Pot Pie
I have loved Banquet Chicken Pot Pies since I was a child — at least 45 years I would say. If you have never eaten a Banquet Pot Pie, it is small, just a few inches across, and frozen so it is convenient …
Pepperidge Farm Texas Toast Parmesan
No other company that manufactures and sells Texas Toast in my area carries anything similar to this flavor of Texas Toast made by Pepperidge Farm. I tried this Texas Toast once and I was real impressed with the flavor of it. This Texas Toast has a parmesan topping that …
Dreyer’s Limited Edition Bakery Treats Slow Churned Cinnamon Bun Fun
Cinnamon rolls have been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. Whether for breakfast or as an after meal treat, I continue to enjoy the soft-baked rolls with cinnamon layers and a sweet icing glaze. Not surprisingly then, when I came across Dreyer’s Limited Edition Bakery Treats …
Sugar Puffs Breakfast Cereal
Sugar Puffs have been around for as long as I can remember and they are a very familiar brand of breakfast cereal, always one of my favorites. These are no longer produced by Quaker but by Honey Monster Foods, but I got Sugar Puffs at the moment and …
Culver’s Cheeseburger Basket
It had been awhile since I had a burger at Culver’s, and I decided to do so today. I ordered the cheeseburger basket, which comes with a cheeseburger, medium drink, and fries. The nice thing about this basket is that the cheeseburger comes plain, and you can …
Cabbage Rolls
I hate to hate food, but Cabbage Rolls ain’t that ‘cool’ for me. I just dislike the idea of cabbages stuffed into some bread and be eating it like that. But here is another food option idea for cabbage lovers out there. You can perhaps try this …
Medeiros Extra Virgin Olive Oil
I live within walking distance from a Save-A-Lot grocery store, so when I came home one night to cook and realized I was out of olive oil, I went to the nearest store to pick some up. I wasn’t expecting a very high quality olive oil at this store, …
Werther’s Original Dark Chocolate
I had a feeling that these would be nice chocolates from Werther’s as the TV advert has been making me dribble with anticipation and indeed they are good. The chocolate is the most melt in the mouth chocolate I have ever tasted. To describe them, they are …
Jack in the Box: Grilled Breakfast Sandwich
Jack in the Box is constantly reinventing their menu with new and interesting food products. This year they’ve added some grilled sandwiches to the lineup, and some of them I’ve tried and enjoyed greatly. One of these is their Grilled Breakfast Sandwich.
Basically, the Grilled Breakfast Sandwich consists …
Dove dark chocolate
For those of us who love sweets, but are still somewhat health conscious, Dove dark chocolate may fit the bill. I learned about Dove dark chocolate while attending a lecture about vitamins and their importance in providing antioxidants. I don’t know that I understood everything at the lecture, but …
Nature’s Path Organic Mesa Sunrise Cereal
‘Nature’s Path Organic Mesa Sunrise Cereal’ has become the basic and most important food in my house. I am very happy because along with the nutritious ingredients, it is absolutely organic (USDA organic) and has nothing artificial in it. This cereal is high in fiber, which is very important …
Healthy Fruit Cookies By Freedom Foods
Since my husband started his diet to lose weight I always find ways to give him good tasting food, less carb, non-fat, low calories and the like. Most people on the battle to lose weight are always tempted to eat what they should not be eating because they …
Sunshine Snacks Corn Chips
Sunshine Snacks is a popular local brand for snack foods and one of their products is Corn Chips. This snack comes in a very light .28g package. This is not surprising since the chips themselves are pretty light but also very crispy. Since it is so small it is …
Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt - Raspberry and Apple
I read somewhere that yogurt is great because it has live lactobacilli which is beneficial for our stomachs. Also, since I am lactose-intolerant, I would benefit greatly from eating yogurt as compared to drinking milk because this has a lower amount of lactose that is needed to digest. I …
Del Monte Fit n Right Pineapple Juice drink
I often drink carbonated drinks but I have read that some of those drinks are not healthy for my diet. Some of carbonated drinks contains caffeine and sweetening that would increase my sugar and makes me fat. I’ve been looking for a drink that is healthier and will not …
Starbucks Dark Mocha Iced Frappucino
I had tasted the other dark mocha frappucinos such as dark cherry mocha but this is better than the dark cherry mocha. It tastes just like pure dark chocolate with mocha and the iced frappucino just lingers in your throat and it’s such a thick, rich, and creamy drink …
Trek Cocoa Brownie Wholefood Energy Bar
I have recently discovered these Trek bars in Sainsbury’s and for me, they have been a good find considering my lifestyle. To describe them, they are oblong brownies made with cocoa and are about 5.5 inches by 2.5 inches in size. They come in white packet with …
Kellogg’s Frosted Corn Flakes
This corn flakes brand is my breakfast, perhaps my only breakfast for past two years. I just add this to a cup of hot milk and enjoy as my breakfast. In busy morning schedule Kellogg’s is usually enough for meeting my energy requirements.
My usual pick is the Kellogg’s original …
Red Baron Singles - French Bread Pizzas: 5 Cheese & Garlic
Red Baron is a favorite brand of mine when it comes to pizzas. I’ve had greater successes with some varieties more than others, but overall, it’s definitely a quality product. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to try their 5 Cheese & Garlic French Bread pizza. …
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 …
Sargento Salad Finishers
My wife and I usually have salads with our dinners but, to be honest, they were getting a bit dull. That’s why I was glad Sargentos came out with their Salad Finishers.
For just $4, you get a good combination of meat, cheese and another topping (in our case, it …
La Yogurt: Guava Mango Lowfat Yogurt
I enjoy frozen yogurt in the morning, and every time I go to the grocery store I pick up some. Normally, I get Dannon. However, when I went to the store last week La Yogurt was on sale for only fifty cents. This is pretty cheap for yogurt and …
Weight Watchers Cheese Bites
I am currently trying to lose weight and it is such a hard thing to do. Then again I think that diet food is a lot better these days than it has been in the past and there seems to be plenty normal tasting food out there that can …
General Mills Golden Grahams Cereal
I always used to love Golden Grahams when I was younger. This was probably one of my favorite cereals, because General Mills took the concept of graham crackers and put them in a cereal. I don’t know of any other cereal company that uses graham crackers in their cereal. …
Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Peanut Butter Wafer Bars
Although I feel that Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Peanut Butter Wafer Bars could have likely been richer in flavor had this product not been made with nutrition in mind, I must say that despite the fact that there is really very little sugar added to these wafer bars, they still …
Borden’s Cremora Rich Coffee Creamer
I’ve always been a coffee drinker, everyone in my family is. I absolutely adore it, even as a baby my mom and grandma would give me some of their lattes in the morning, so of course drinking it from a very young age, I am now absolutely obsessed with …
Mercer Orchards Roma Apples
Mercier Orchards Roma Apples are a good choice of apple to add to any family’s diet. They make for an excellent snack for small children to add to their lunch bag to take to school.
Since I am trying to lose a few pounds, I have decided to eat …
Cloverhill Bakery - Cinnamon Bun
The Cloverhill Bakery - Cinnamon Bun is not something that I will be looking to purchase again because I did not enjoy the bun all that much aside from the soft dough. Oh sure, it was definitely sweet, but the problem I have is, there is too much emphasis …
Frito Lay Barbeque Sunflower Seeds
Frito Lay hands down makes the best sun flower seeds. Their brand of barbeque flavor is simply amazing. Most sunflower seed companies use mostly a salt flavor for barbeque. Not this brand, of course they use salt as a main ingredient, but the flavor is a sweet barbeque. …
Clover Valley Extra Wide Egg Noodles
The other day while I was shopping at the Dollar General, I walked down one of their grocery aisles and saw they had only two bags of egg noodles on their shelf. Thinking they must be good if all of the other bags were sold out, I put the …
Lulu B Cocktails Cran Cosmo
While at the liquor store in my neighborhood with the intention of picking up more Skinnygirl margarita I noticed that they had started to carry a few more varieties of premixed cocktails that were also low calorie and carb. The new products were also stocked right next to those …
Hypnotiq Passion Fruit Liquor
Hypnotique is passion fruit liquor that I was recently exposed to. The liquor is purchased in a large blue bottle and is blue in color. It tastes petty fantastic though. If you have a friend who doest like the taste of strong liquors then they will probably enjoy the …
Tai Pei Crispy Orange Chicken
I was looking forward to trying the Tai Pei meals, they certainly looked great in the supermarket! I’d hoped to have a nice tasty entree stashed away in the fridge for those nights you don’t want to cook, but want something with a little …
Furikake, Japanese Rice Toppings
When my brother in law and his kids went for a vacation back to the Philippines from Japan, I notice that the kids are not eating much of the food being served on the table. Mostly are Filipino food like sinigang, tinola and sautéed vegetables. Instead, I saw …
Cream-o cookies
A few days ago, when I went to the supermarket, the Oreo cookies were surprisingly cheap, so I bought a box without thinking it twice. Once I arrived home and I ate one, I realized that the taste was different, and after taking a good look at the box …
Kellogs Fruit Loops
Well if you really enjoy getting heavy doses of sugar with your breakfast or simply enjoy the picture of Toucan Sam staring at you from the depths of a cardboard box than go ahead and eat your Fruit Loops. I know that all breakfast cereals are required to advertise …
Douwe Egberts Pure Indulgence Instant Coffee
Douwe Egberts Pure Indulgence is an excellent instant coffee with a lovely flavour. I like a coffee with a lot of strength to it but without harshness or bitterness and this coffee fits the bill. It is good and strong so I, as a total caffeine addict, …
Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers
These things are so good my family really likes the broccoli and cheese sauce. It couldn’t be any easier to fix these, they just go straight from the freezer to the microwave, you don’t have to even open the package, just stand it up right in the microwave. They …
Tesco Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake
Cheesecake is one of my all time favorite desserts but it has to be a quality cheesecake or I will not buy it. I find a lot of cheesecakes to be a let down but this Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake from Tesco is delicious. I only recently discovered …
Phillsbury Reduced Sugar Cake Mix
I’ve only found this cake mix on one of our local stores, but I’m really glad they have it! It is a great way for people who are watching their carbs to have cake ever once in a while. You still can’t eat a whole lot of …
Betty Crocker’s Warm Delights
The new Warm Delights by Betty Crocker are worth a try for anyone looking for a sweet snack. They come in individual serving size for about $2 a piece at grocery stores. The bowl shaped microwave-safe dish comes packed with cake mix, cinnamon swirl and icing. You simply add …
Royal Crown Cola Softdrinks
Royal Crown Cola, more known as RC Cola are popular makers of Orange soft drinks. I am not a fan until the day that a popular soft drink was out of stock. We have no choice but to buy this one and try it for the meantime. I thought …
