Stouffer’s lasagna with meat and sauce
I really like Italian food, especially a yummy filling lasagna with meat sauce. However, not only am I not much of a cook, but also I am the only one in my family who likes meat in their lasagna. Therefore, if I want to eat lasagna with …
Metaxa - Greece’s brandy
When you’ve returned from foreign holidays, it’s strange how things that tasted really great wherever you were, now taste terrible. I have been to many countries and found this to be the case. I don’t know what the reason for things seeming to be good when you’re elsewhere and …
Marco’s Pizza - Pepperoni Magnifico
Marco’s Pizza - Pepperoni Magnifico is indeed magnificent! After trying this special variation of pepperoni pizza, I do not believe that I will ever order just a regular pepperoni pizza for as long as Marco’s Pizza offers this delicious creation. What is so different about this kind of pepperoni …
Anlene High-Calcium Low Fat Milk Concentrate
Anlene is a range of milk products which is meant to resolve the common bone nutrients deficiencies found in most adults. When Anlene was first advertised on TV, I actually did not pay much attention. I was thinking it was just the same as the many high-calcium …
Kashi TLC Dark Chocolate Whole Grain Bars
My new favorite snack to chow down when I get hungry is the Kashi TLC Dark Chocolate Whole Grain Bars. They are filling, tasty, and made with nourishing ingredients that actually help nourish my body from the inside out, which I like. I even like that, there are no …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Rocky Road
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Rocky Road is a pretty flavorful and enjoyable ice cream treat! This ice cream consists of chocolate and marshmallows along with chocolate covered almonds. The chocolate ice cream is pretty rich and creamy. The marshmallow is also quite full of flavor and delectable. The …
Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Cereal Bars Variety Pack
This is a decent variety pack with two tasty flavors, but unfortunately the flavors are not evenly split for some peculiar reason. There are thirty-two strawberry bars but just sixteen apple-cinnamon bars. I wish that the variety pack was an even split down the middle, but oh well. I …
Foster Farms Southwestern Chicken Breast Strips
Another something new I’ve tried recently are Foster Farms Southwestern Chicken Breast Strips. Foster Farms is a trusted name for chicken and the price was right for experimenting. I loved the package, which allowed me to see the chicken I was purchasing and which was also a …
Kellogg’s All-Bran Bran Buds
I did not care for this cereal very much. In terms of flavor, there is very little to taste and what I do taste is on the dull side. I know that this cereal is intended to be healthy, but there are other healthy cereals on in the grocery …
Martha Stewart Every Day Food Magazine
If you have not had an opportunity to read the Martha Stewart Every Day Food Magazine, you are in for a real treat when you do. This little magazine is just packed full of food ideas and recipes that the average cook can easily master.

Wrigley’s Extra chewing gum
Wrigley’s Extra gum has been around for a long time. As other trendy, fancy new chewing gums come out in a variety of ingenious flavor combinations and shapes, Extra, with its old fashioned aluminum wrapped flat sticks continues to be an excellent seller everywhere.
This is a product …
Boulder Canyon All Natural Malt Vinegar & Sea Salt
Boulder Canyon All Natural Malt Vinegar & Sea Salt are really not healthy - but then again, we are talking about potato chips here, and even the “healthiest” potato chip is by no means healthy or recommended for consumption more than once or twice a week. The reason is …
NuNaturals NuStevia White Stevia Powder
This alternative sweetener is made with stevia, which is a calorie-free sugar substitute made from an herb native to Paraguay. It’s a white powder that looks similar to sugar but is up to 200 times sweeter, and sometimes has a licorice-like aftertaste. Because of this, less of it needs …
Walkers Crisps
In all the time that I have eaten crisps I have come across some wacky limited edition Flavours. Well now we have even more unusual and yet tasty flavours by one of the most popular crisp brands Walkers.
With 5 varieties to choose from, Builders Breakfast, in my own frank opinion …
Knorr Red Soup
I love Knorr products and have purchased other boxed gourmet soups with the Knorr name so when their Red Soup came on sale for only $1.99 down from $2.99 at my local supermarket I bought it straight away. The 500ml cardboard carton advertised that it served two people so …
Folgers classic roast
This is a bottle of instant coffee crystals. This is not a great coffee but it is good enough to drink everyday. I used to make up in the morning and then make coffee by using coffee machine but it took long. I try not to spend extra time …
Marie Callender’s Country Fried Chicken & Gravy
Marie Callender’s Country Fried Chicken & Gravy is another product I tried recently for the first time. While this variety isn’t a new one for Marie Callender’s, it was on sale, and I noticed that the gravy was provided in a pouch instead of mixed in.
I am not …
Pizza Hut Pizza
The Pizza Hut Pizza is one of the best and popular pizza restaurants in the Philippines. Well indeed they have some great choices such as those in cheesy and stuff crust. But well not all their pizzas are truly satisfying. There are not so great ones actually and …
Campbell’s Chunky Jazzy Jambalaya soup
Continuing onward with my daily lunchtime soup odyssey, we have the next big member in the Campbell’s Chunky “starting line” of soups (AKA the official soup of the NFL, whatever the heck that means.) This time up, I’ve got in the lunch pail Campbell’s Chunky Soup Jazzy Jambalaya, our …
Nestle Rolo Cookies
These lovely big cookies, called Rolo Cookies from Nestle, were going cheap at Sainsbury’s and I just had to have them. They only cost me 50 pence, reduced from one pound and for that you get five big, thick, crumbly cookies. They are called Rolo Cookies because …
Jennie O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links
Breakfast for me is usually a egg and sausage sandwich, and almost always eaten while I am on the go. Then there are the moments when I can sit down to a nice plate of breakfast. One product that I’ve come to enjoy with both of these methods of …
DiGiorno Pizzas
I was in the mood for pizza last night and ended up buying a frozen one from the brand DiGiorno.
You’ve probably seen the ads for this brand, the ones that make you believe you will mistake DiGiorno for a pizza that was delivered. I’m here to tell you that …
Cowboy Billy’s Homestyle Baked Beans
We ended up making hotdogs for dinner last night and, to go with them, we made a can of Cowboy Billy’s Homestyle Baked Beans.
I have had this brand in the past but this is the first time I have tried this particular variety. It was OK, but it wasn’t …
Goya Pineapple Soda
I bought a bottle of Goya Pineapple soda on a whim the other day when I was shopping at Foodmart. I never had a pineapple-flavored soda before, but I did expect it to taste a bit like a pineapple. Truthfully, this soda has a very odd taste. I noticed …
Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Vegetable Oil
Although the Starkist brand has been around now for quite some time, I honestly do not understand what the appeal is. I do not think the company makes particularly good canned tuna fish, and the Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Vegetable Oil is as good of an example as …
Nestle’s Cream
I first tried Nestle’s Cream because I could not find any light cream (specifically) in the grocery stores at Christmas time! I think everyone must have bought it all up to make home made eggnog. I personally wanted to make home made eggnog too but had to pass it …
Knorr Cream Of Chicken Cream Soup
I tried cooking three flavors of Knorr’s Cream Soup. When I was young this was the dish that my mom would prepare for us. When I was on my own, I tried cooking it too. Sometimes it is good to have soup in the table because it gives you more …
KFC Snack Box
The latest offerings of Kentucky Fried Chicken are a great treat for those on the go. I am talking about the latest “Snack Box” they have now. This has several variants or combination of KFC products. The combination includes a mix of poppers and chicken wings, poppers and funshots …
Filipino Adobo
Rice is the staple food in the Philippines. And what goes perfectly with rice? I’d say adobo. It’s a native Filipino dish which is basically just meat (chicken or pork) cooked to simmer in a mixture of soy sauce and vinegar as well as some seasoning. Preparing it is …
Appleton Jamaica Rum Cream
The first time I was familiar with run cream was when I saw one of my parents having a glass of some when we went out when I was little. However, I was not allowed to even taste it since it was a strong alcoholic beverage. Nevertheless, out of …
Slice mango drink
My children love to drink the cool drinks and I prefer to give them the drink the name of which is Slice. It is the mango drink, which is available in the market. It tastes like the natural mango drink and also gives a very good taste. …
Sunkist Fudge Coconut Granola Bars
Healthy snacks are very easy to come by. But healthy snacks that taste great and make you want to go out and buy more, or choose that over cookies or chips are very hard to come by. But after trying Sunkist Fudge covered coconut bars I have hope that …
Crystal Light Raspberry Ice drink mix
We bought these in the new individual sized servings, where you just take the small tube and pour the powder into a glass of water.
These contain aspartame, which isn’t really good for you, but if you are on a diet it is a substitute for sugar. I’m not on …
Century Tuna
Ok so my doctor told me to go on a vegetable and fish diet since i had an overly bloated cholesterol. Since i don’t eat fish and it was highly recommended that i’d do so. I bought one can of Century tuna at the supermarket and since i liked …
Ben and Jerry’s Cake Batter Ice Cream
I was intrigued by this cake batter ice cream and very curious about what it would taste like. It was released in 2008 as part of Ben and Jerry’s 30th “birthday” celebration (more like an anniversary, really).
Lately, I’ve become very interested in these ice creams whose flavors are actually …
Duncan Hines Perfect Size For 1 Confetti Mug Cake Mix
I love reading food blogs which is how I first came into the knowledge of cake mugs. The theory behind cake mugs is you create a cake batter cut down to fit inside of a mug or any microwavable cup. You then cook the batter in the microwave for about …
Entenmanns Assorted Donuts
I have always enjoyed the pastry items Entenmanns makes but had never tried their assorted donut selection. The box of donuts includes a dozen which consist of chocolate covered, powered sugar and a clear glazed donut. The chocolate covered and powered sugar donuts did not let me down and …
Lidl Economy Orange Marmalade
As I am cutting back on the amount I spend on shopping at the moment, when I wanted a marmalade the other day I risked a very low-priced marmalade from the bargain supermarket, Lidl. For your usual 454g sized jar I only paid a ridiculously low 28 pence …
Lawlers Lemon Blast Cheesecake
I love cheesecake and I am always looking for a new creation to try, which is how I came across Lawler’s lemon blast cheesecake at my local Sam’s Club.
Originally I was not going to purchase any desserts because I wanted to make one from scratch for Mother’s Day. However, …
Tiffany’s Classic Digestive Wheat Biscuits
After tasting Tiffany’s Classic Digestive biscuits, the first word comes out from mouth is ‘wow! One more please’. Because they are too good to resist. These mouth watering biscuits are made of natural wheat flour and are good for health . As it does not contain any …
Sundae Shoppe Ice Cream Bars
What’s nice about the Sundae Shoppe Ice Cream Bars is that unlike with the ice cream sandwiches also sold by Sundae Shoppe, these come on a stick. That makes eating these ice cream bars less messy than the ice cream sandwiches, which can leave my hands feeling sticky as …
Boston Harbor Tea bags
I received these tea bags as Christmas gift from my father. They come in yellow box of 75 bags of tea. These are the original shippers of Davison Newman and Co. Ltd of the London that on December 16, 1773 a group of American patriots boarded three English ships …
Cheeseburger Flavored Combos
Combos are a bite sized snack food that come in a variety of flavors that send consumers taste buds on a frenzy! The Cheeseburger flavored Combos are no exception to this delicious snacking rule. Not only do they have the element of crunchy goodness that all Combo (or snacks …
Warm Delights
Since trying the Betty Crocker Warm Delights that first time, I’d have to say our family has gone through about 20 so far! And my hubby and kids are picky when it comes to baked treats!
These little ‘Warm Delights’ are just that! Warm delights! lol
And so easy to make …
Wing zone bbq shrimp
I am a HUGE fan of Wing Zone because not only do they offer the best of chicken, but they also allow you to decide on the flavor/sauce you chicken will be drenched in. I’m a barbeque person, therefore, I am always ordering barbeque chicken wings; however, when I …
Rice Bowl Chicken Flavored Rice Mix
Last night, I did some grilling outside (we finally replaced our empty propane tank) and, wanting something to go with the chicken I was making that wasn’t potatoes, I picked out a box of Rice Bowl chicken flavored rice mix; which my wife was nice enough to make so …
Skittle Chocolate Mix
I saw the commercials for Skittle Chocolate Mix, and I was intrigued. What would a new type of round chocolate candy taste like? I love everything chocolate, so I decided to find out.
The first thing I noticed was that the wrapper showed that the new Skittles come in five …
Bareman’s Orange Juice
I have always been a big fan of orange juice and just lately I can’t seem to get enough of it. I do think there are differences in brands and types and can sometimes be quite picky about which ones I choose. Occasionally I even mix a little …
Healthy Choice Café Steamers Cajun Style Chicken & Shrimp
The Café Steamers sounds like a nice concept —“ the steam of the sauce warms up food components above. Some of the varieties sounded very appealing and I wanted to try every one of them. I started with the Cajun Style Chicken & Shrimp. You get …
