I know this will seem like an odd review but I had heard flat iron steak was a tender piece of cheaper meat. Well it isn’t really that much cheaper it is usually within a dollar a ound of ribeye steak, but it is way more tender and has …

I’ll say one thing about Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Supreme Pizza Snacks, and that one thing is, they sure did manage to cram a variety of toppings into each and every one of these small snack bites! There’s cheese, tomato, pepperoni, sausage, onion, green pepper and perhaps another one …

I’m a fan of Ritz crackers, whether it be served with my favorite topping, sliced cheeses or with soup I simply love the taste of these crackers. They bring a new spin to the table unlike regular saltine crackers. This is why I decided to try out Ritz Crackerful: …

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, …

I always like to try new chocolate bars and as I like Mars bars I thought I would try a packet of Mars Planets. These are basically little milk chocolate balls with three different centers —“ chewy, crispy and soft —“ which are supposed to be the different …

My wife and I recently got a tub of Taylor Fresh Organic Spring Mix lettuce given to us. It was quite a bit of lettuce and we wanted to start using it right away so it didn’t go bad. Unfortunately, I don’t think it is a product we really …

Fruity Pebbles. They’re one of those things you never really think to say “Hey, there should definitely be a review on this”. However, that thought process only lasts up until your first bowl. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Fruity Pebbles are the …

I bought a cup of this today at Price Smart. The packaging was cute, and who doesn’t love mac and cheese? Plus it also said ready in 3.5 minutes. I was sold.
I got home and opened the package, hungry and excited to try it out. …

It is quite a shame that the El Monterey’s Shredded Steak & Cheese Chimichanga Supreme frozen burritos are not in the slightest bit spicy because I definitely like the overall flavor of these burritos. What I think I like best about these burritos is seasoned beef. It is not …

Kashi Strawberry Fields cereal has freeze dried strawberries and even though it doesn’t mention it in the name it even has freeze dried raspberries. I found the strawberries and raspberries to be a bit too tangy at times. It might have just been the berry. You …

Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Homemade Turtle Sundae is an enjoyable treat that offers a tasty combination of vanilla, caramel and salted pecans. It may not sound like a whole lot, but it is a simple combination of flavors that just works - assuming you enjoy the three aforementioned …

I have already written several different reviews about Milka products, and that is because I really like the Milka brand because their chocolate is quite tasty. I was really surprised when a few years ago I noticed that Milka started making cookies and different cakes but I must admit that …

This firehouse recipe was handed down to me from a dear friend of mine who used to be a fire chief on the mainland before he passed away. I feel so fortunate to have been able to get this cherished recipe from him before he left us. …

OnCor Salisbury Steaks are one of my favorite easy-to-cook dishes. The steaks are sold frozen; they come in a box that contains 6 medium-size steaks and a lot of gravy. I especially like the abundance of gravy, it makes the choice of a side dish very easy: mashed potatoes, …

I did not find anything all that special about Mrs. Freshley’s Fudge Bake Brownie. It tasted like a typical fudge brownie to me, which is both a good and a bad thing. It is a good thing because I like fudge brownies, so when I first tasted this fudge …

I wanted a honey and mustard salad dressing and in Lidl, after repeating to the young assistant that I wanted to find the salad dressings and he did not understand the concept, the only brand they had was this, McEnnedy American Way Honey & Mustard Dressing. I think …

I am really thrilled with Kellog’s Frosted Mini Wheats Strawberry Delights. One big reason that I like them so much is that I love shredded wheat and think they are very healthy for you and a great way to start off the day and make sure you stay full …

Krusteaz Apple Crisp Mix is one that I purchase pretty often. The apple, cinnamon, oats, brown sugar and assorted spices all help to make for a delicious crisp mix! The apple flavor is quite authentic, which I suppose should not be surprising since real apples are used in this …

I like LifeSavers mint candy, it is one of my favorite candy-dish fillers. LifeSavers are available as Wint-o-Green (mint) and Pepp-o-Mint (peppermint); a well-sized 13 oz bag costs $1.98. Each candy is individually wrapped, and each has “LifeSavers” impressed on it. The candies are white, round, with a hole …

As a big fan of Lindt chocolate I really can’t resist them and I am always willing to try a new taste of them so about a few days ago when my flatmate came home with a full box of Lindt small chocolates I really can’t say who was …

I love this product. I wish it’s available everywhere or at least the manufacturing company has distributors worldwide especially in the tropical countries like the Philippines. I got it last year from my relatives in the states and well it’s kinda expensive unless you are a dealer yourself you …

I personally have not found many Weight Watchers brand snack items that I have enjoyed. To my delight, I have discovered a “favorite” in the new 2009 Cappuccino Cream Melts!
When I first tried one of the candies, it was 2:00 p.m. and I felt like I was on …

I have long been a Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese lover. I have bought many different flavours of dips and cheeses from them over the years, but this was the first time I had bought the Smoked Salmon cream cheese.

These Nature’s Path: Frosted Strawberry Toaster Pastries are as good as the cherry variety, although they suffer from the same problem that the cherry toaster pastries do: they are a little too sweet and I feel that the frosting did not have to be as sugary as it turned …

We made shredded pork sandwiches for dinner the other night and, to go with them, we decided to make a bag of Green Giant Fresh Valley Steamers vegetables.
The sandwiches were good. The vegetables were actually a bit of a disappointment.
Green Giant used to offer quality when it came to …

Because of my previous experience with the Lean Pocket Philly cheese steak, I wanted to expand my lunch menu to another pastry sandwich: The Lean Pocket ham and cheese. I’ve had the Hot pocket ham and cheese and they are the best, so I thought the Lean Pocket ham …

Great Value Ripple Cut potato chips are specifically designed for dipping, and they work great. The rippled surface holds more dip than regular chips, which enhances the taste. Even the runny types of dip stay on pretty well. The chips are thick, so they do not easily break or …

As I mentioned in another review, we decided to make a big dinner last night with lots of side dishes because the pork ribs we made were a bit lean when it came to meat. Since we needed a vegetable everyone in our family would eat (and I was …

Wafer lovers should try Nissin Chocolate Wafer. It’s a local brand here in the Philippines but for me it’s one of the best. The reason I like it is because the taste is just right. It’s sweet but not too sweet. It’s in small packages so it remains crispy …

Last Wednesday, my husband’s boss had gifted us a 3.3 lb tin of the Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies. Even while I think of it and pen down this review, my mouth actually waters. Such is the aroma and taste of the butter cookies. True to its origin !!!

Super WalMart in our community of Lake Havasu City , Arizona is selling Oak Leaf wine for less than $2 a bottle. I’ve read that WalMarts in other areas are selling the wine for $3 a bottle. It is being compared to Trader Joe’s 2 Buck Chuck. Frankly, I …

When I feel like eating a lot of ice cream and I don’t want to spend a lot of money, Carte d’Or is always a good option, as the family size box is cheap compared to other brands.
There are many flavours, and one of them is lemon. This lemon …

I first had a Chicken Sandwich from Tranquil when I went there to get a burger and they had none. Instead all they had to offer was this simple yet delicious and filling chicken sandwich which came at a very reasonable price.
Tranquil’s Chicken Sandwich is basically a white flour …

I am not usually much of a one for isotonic sports drinks, because in the main  I find them so sugary as to be rather too much of a good thing, but the other day I was feeling both very thirsty and rather lacking in energy, so decided to …

Turkey Hill brand ice cream is one of the priciest ice cream brands that I’ve come across, right up there with the Blue Bell brand ice cream. Typically, a one point five quart will cost over five dollars, so for that reason, I tend to not purchase it unless …

The other day my wife told me that Sonic’s now has a dollar menu. That’s always good news to me, I like cheap food. This morning on the way to work I stopped by Sonic’s and tried the breakfast burrito off the dollar menu. I wasn’t insanely impressed with …

Great Value: Sour Cream & Onion are just as good as the name brand products. Compared with the Lays and Pringles Sour Cream & Onion varieties, the Walmart Great Value brand stacks up very well in terms of flavor and beats the name brand when it comes to value. …

I am a real cheese addict. I have reviewed my favorite roller coaster snack, now I can compare and contrast it with this one. It is produced by Universal Robina while this one is by Regent. They are both made tasty like real cheese. The first major difference is …

These Hostess Donettes - Chocolate variety are downright terrible! The chocolate flavor that coats these donuts really does not taste like chocolate at all! What happened to the rich and delicious chocolate used for the Hostess Cupcakes, Suzy Q’s, Ding Dongs and similar products? This chocolate tastes like some …
