Sainsbury’s Blackcurrant flavour infusion tea
Sainsbury’s is a store in the UK that I had the honor to visit last year on vacation. One of my favorite drinks to make at home is blackcurrant flavored iced tea. Blackcurrant is not a popular or widely known flavor here in the US, but is …
Sundae Shoppe Sundae Nut Cones Chocolate Core
The Sundae Shoppe Sundae Nut Cones Chocolate Core suffer from the same problems that the Sundae Shoppe Sundae Nut Cones Caramel Core exhibit, and those problems are very little core flavor and a cone that just doesn’t taste like very much. First though, the main problem I have with …
Chick-fil-A Waffle Potato Fries
The Waffle Potato Fries at Chick-fil-A are much better than the typical fast food fry, in my opinion. They are superior to McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Whataburger’s fries because unlike the fries served by the aforementioned fast food restaurants, these waffle fries do not taste horrid as soon as they …
Brown Cow: Cream Top Greek Blueberry yogurt
As I have stated before, I love greek yogurt with an a burning passion. There is just something about the creamy thickness that pulls me in and takes me way to a blissful place. Almost every brand out there have their own line of greek yogurt with their own …
Tropical Lifesavers
Lifesavers have always been one of those candies that I like, but don’t seek out on my own. The reason is that they remind me a little too much of my grandmother, who used to carry them around in the bottom of her purse and give one to me …
David Sunflower seeds
Sunflower seeds are a delightful snack along with a conduit for nervous energy. There are many brands of sunflower seeds but David is by far the tastier. As a snack David sunflower seeds are perfect because they are not filling. The tasty little seeds won’t ruin your appetite and …
Bristot Classic Esspresso Coffee
I really can’t do without the coffee in the morning, it is actually the first thing I do when I open my eyes to go and put the moka on the stove to boil. I like to have a lot of coffee at home so that it never happened …
Sunchips French Onion Flavored
I bought this 11 1/2 oz. bag of French Onion Sunchips a couple days ago and it is already half gone. Right away the bag caught my eye with the shiny sleek look and bright colors along with the “30% Less Fat Than Regular Potato Chips” remark on the …
Copperhead Red Wine by Cache River Winery
I am a big fan of Illinois wine. I am not a wine snob and probably officially wouldn?t know what experts call a really good wine if you hit me with it.
But, I am a fan of good tasting wines. I prefer whites, usually, because they are sweeter without …
Yummy Frito Lay’s Chips
Frito Lay is as common as Doritos. We all each chips for lunch, snacks, and with our dinner. The wonderful thing about the Wavy Chips is that they are made with all natural oil, another way to eat healthier chips.
Wavy Original Chips has a crunchy texture. These chips …
Trix
As a child, Trix cereal was one of my favorites. I loved it, probably as my second favorite as I think back on it now. It was a fun cereal to eat, and I loved all the flavors and colors. It was tasty and satisfying.
For several …
Great Value Pork Sausage
I have come to expect little, if anything, from Great Value (Wal-Mart’s store brand). The bread is almost always stale, the sodas taste flat, and the crinkle-cut French fries are soggy. Oh, and the chili with beans? Terrible.
But I’m in college, so my grocery budget isn’t always as …
Spice Islands - Cinnamon
Spices so often make or break a dish. Now, I’m not a big cook. My readers know that, but one of the spices I’ve grown up with and can use on almost anything is cinnamon. I just adore the taste. One of the most basic …
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 …
Oreos- America’s Favorite Cookie
I have grown up always knowing what Oreos are. Haha, well who hasn’t?!
On the box it says “World’s Favorite Cookie”. I think that definently holds true for these delightful cookies. Ever since I was little I would always have quite an addiction for Oreos, but only when I buy …
Liquid Nitro Energy Drink
Recently, I’ve been under so much pressure from work, school and other things that I realized that by the time the day ends and I get home, I barely have enough energy left to do anything else that I need to do. I found myself living on energy drinks …
7 Days Bake Rolls Onion
It says on the package: “Delicious bread crisps seasoned with onion”. And I have to agree with that statement. “Bake Rolls” is indeed delicious.
In my quest to limit my intake of chips, I switched to “Bake Rolls”. One package has approximately 90 grams of baked bread crisps. The onion …
Golden Oreos
I bought a packages of Nabisco;s Golden Oreos recently. I wanted to try them as they were a new and unusual flavor. I thought these oreos would be something unusual and as I am a big fan of the regular oreos these seemed to be something to try …
Options Belgian Choc Instant Hot Chocolate Drink
I used to like these instant Options drinks but I went mad buying sachets of this the last time I went to the supermarket and I am not so enamoured by them. They are only 37 calories per drink so maybe for a very low calorie hot chocolate …
Ken’s Stakehouse Country French Salad Dressing
Ken’s Stakehouse Country French Salad Dressing is a very nice product. It has a highly unique taste to it that goes well with a wide variety of vegetables or salads. It’s very difficult to exactly describe the taste of this dressing although I would say that it …
Truvia Natural Sweetener
I really do not know what to think about this natural sugar alternative. The makers claim that Stevia is used in its manufacture, but to be honest, I don’t think it is used, or if it is, it is used in extremely minute quantities. Stevia has a distinctive bitter …
Coke Soft Drink
Coke is one of my favorite soda since my childhood days. It is refreshing and has a good sweet taste that really relieve me from thirst. This soda is much better to drink with a lot of ice cubes or has been chilled to refrigerator for an hour. We …
Coke Zero
Let me admit up front that I’m a member of the Pepsi generation. I love it. When I was very young, though, my family drank coke. Then we discovered pepsi, and coke disappeared from our house. Since then, the times I’ve had coke can be …
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Butterscotch
Jell-o Instant Pudding - Butterscotch is really quite incredible! The butterscotch flavor is very rich and scrumptious, as well as quite authentic, too! The flavor really seizes my taste buds and puts a real smile on my face because it just tastes so good. The pudding is quite creamy …
Forrelli Snack Crackers
Money has been a bit tight and, since I used the last of my money to put some gas in my car this morning, I wasn’t able to buy any sort of snack for my desk at work.
Since I skipped breakfast again (something that happens whenever my youngest daughter …
Betty Crocker - Cookie Mix Chocolate Chip
Betty Crocker - Cookie Mix Chocolate Chip unfortunately turned out to be a disappointment. Although these cookies were really not too difficult to prepare and while they did seem to have a pleasant aroma while they were baking. However, when it came time to try one, I was really …
Dilmah Exceptional Italian Almond Tea (Luxury Bags)
I’m something of a flavoured tea junkie. I tend to spend much more money on tea than I do on any other food and drink item, and I definitely buy more expensive brands thereof than when it comes to the regular kinds of beverages or food. Moreover, I’m a …
Datu Puti Soy Sauce
Spices such as garlic and onion add and bring out the flavor of the ingredients. In some Philippine cuisine, spices wouldn’t suffice; soy sauce is needed to complement the taste of the food. Our family has relied to Datu Puti Soy Sauce as far as I can remember. Since …
Annie’s Homegrown Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese
When it comes to pasta, I am pretty particular but I have to say that this product is a good one. The noodles when cooked right are soft. They need to be salted or they are tasteless but that is the same with most pastas. Also, if you overcook …
Arizona Southern Style Sweet Tea
I usually tend not to try new beverages more than once. However in particular case I am so glad I did. I was raised on sweet tea in the home and have ventured out trying to find a manufactured brand I like for on the go.
I haven’t had …
Sprite and Captain Morgans
While many have probably tried the drink Coke and Rum, fewer have tried Sprite and Rum, or Captain Morgans. This was the case for me, until I recently saw this combination and decided to try it. I was thoroughly impressed, and it is now my drink of choice. The …
Pillsbury Grands Butter Flaky Biscuits
I’m not really a biscuit fan until my mom made me try the Pillsbury Grands butter flaky biscuits. They turned out to be the opposite of most of the biscuits I’ve eaten, and the best part was that I actually ate them instead of throwing them out.
Somehow I ended …
Rasna Juice
Rasna is the very good and tasty drink of the instant juice. Actually the packets of Rasna are available in many flavours and this powder is mixed in the correct proportion of sugar and water. After mixing it and straining it well, this liquid can be stored …
Stouffer’s Southwest-Style Chicken Panini
Stouffer’s Southwest-Style Chicken Panini is a variation on the Grilled Chicken Italian Panini with a few differences. I really like both sandwiches, actually, and I feel that each one offers up a very enjoyable eating experience that I look forward to at lunch time. As for this particular sandwich, …
Nescafe 3 in 1 Coffee Mix Instant Coffee Regular
I always have to have my coffee fix regardless of the time of day. If I do not, then I become weak and tired. I think I have a caffeine addiction already!
So during one of my trips in the supermarket, I saw the Nescafe 3 in 1 Coffee …
Classico Pasta Sauce, Tomato and Basil
This is a pretty flavorful pasta sauce. Unlike a lot of pasta sauces out there, this pasta sauce actually has chunks of tomato. There’s the typical tomato puree, but having actual slices of diced tomatoes in this pasta sauce really makes a difference! The diced tomatoes taste ripe and …
Legacy Bakehouse - Mix—˜n More Garlic Recipe Snack Mix
Legacy Bakehouse - Mix—˜n More Garlic Recipe Snack Mix consists of a collection of five differently shaped and textured snacks, all of which are seasoned with a generous amount of garlic. Some of the pieces happen to have a greater amount of salt content, like the pretzel pieces. There …
Jimmy Dean Fully Cooked Hickory Smoked Bacon Slices
I’ve said for a while that the Jimmy Dean brand is one of my favorites. I don’t love everything, but the majority of the products I’ve used are tasty and up to the standards that I expect from the company. Jimmy Dean Fully Cooked Hickory Smoked Bacon …
California Pizza Kitchen’s Chipotle Pizza
If you are ever in the Perimeter area, and are available for lunch, do stop into the California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) located near Perimeter Mall. Not only is this location very clean and professional, the food is always fresh and delicious. I ordered the Chipotle pizza one …
Dollar Tree Bakery Fresh Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chocolate chip cookies just aren’t as delicious or soft as Grandma’s Homestyle Big Cookie Chocolate Chip cookies. That being said, I did enjoy these cookies and they were well-worth a dollar for eight at the Dollar Tree. The chocolate chip cookies had a good flavor to them, both …
Knorr’s Cheddar Broccoli Rice Side
I decided to make brats the other night and, after realizing I didn’t have anything in our pantry, ran up the street to Walgreens so I could pick up some things to go with them.
One of the items I ended up buying was a packet of Cheddar Broccoli Rice …
Mekeni Picnic Hotdogs
I can’t believe this hotdog. I really appreciate my compatriots’ coming up with this product. It’s surprisingly cheap though its taste can compare with the leading hotdog brands like Purefoods and Swift. And it’s not packed in a ‘just like that’ manner. Then I thought, maybe the texture won’t …
Lia Panettone
I stumbled across a couple of cases of this at the local Grocery Outlet for $1.99, and thought “Well, it’s a risk, but I miss the panettone I could get in Italy when we were there.” I’ve been back for three of them since. Panettone is an …
Target’s Lunch Counter
While running errands one day, I stopped off at Target’s in-store Lunch Counter for a quick meal. I’ve eaten there in the past on occasion, but I hadn’t been there for several months. They used to serve French fries and a tasty chicken breast sandwich, but that is long …
Zattarans Red Beans and Rice
They promote the hell out of this product where Ilive, so I thougth after seeing all the TV ads that I would purchase a box and give it a try. I was delightfully impressed.
This is a spicier red beans and rice, whcih i really like. as Ive gotten older …
Banquet Chicken Nuggets Frozen Dinner
I’ve tried one or two Banquet frozen dinners over the past couple of years, and I always thought they were just okay. Given that they’re usually less than $2.00 per single-serving box, and when they’re on sale they’re about a dollar, I figured you get what you pay for …
Dr. Pepper made with cane sugar
Dr. Pepper made with cane sugar is an extremely unique taste. This taste is nothing new to those of you who live around Dublin, Texas. Dr. Pepper’s made at this small town bottling company, known as ‘Dublin Dr. Pepper’s’, are made with pure cane sugar. In …
The Prepared Pantry Pure White Chocolate Chips
I am a major white chocolate lover but I have a hard time getting white chocolate for baking where I live except in this one candy store in a particular mall. I had signed up for a newsletter from The Prepared Pantry which sells a variety of baking ingredients, …
Stouffer’s Roast Turkey Breast
Stouffer’s Roast Turkey Breast is not one of my favorite frozen meals and in fact, I likely will not purchase this meal again. The reason I will likely not purchase this meal a second time is because even though I do like turkey, it is not one of my …
