Swiss Miss Cocoa (no sugar added)
Before I go to work and jump right to business for the day, I normally go to Starbucks to have my regular caffeine boost to pump me with much needed energy for a very demanding workload.
Today, though, I tried something quite different. Instead of my usual routine, I …
McCormick Imitation Coconut Extract
I love the flavor of coconut. I love its rich and wonderful taste. I was in the grocery store looking for something that would give me a coconut flavoring when I saw this extract. I bought it to impart a coconut taste to a recipe I was making in …
Yogourmet Kefir Powder
While browsing my local health food store a few weeks ago, I came across Yogourmet’s kefir powder and decided to try it. I’ve tried store-bought kefir in North America, and it tastes nothing like the product I remember drinking in Eastern Europe. I was very excited to try the …
Hot Wraps Bagel Smoked Bratwurst
Product description: A smoked bratwurst enwrapped in a bagel shell. These are sold in packages of 6 for around $6.50 in select stores.
What I liked about this product: When I bought these, I wasn’t sure if they were going to be worth the money. But, they exceeded my expectations.
One …
CHIP SHOTS: MARGARITA AND SALT CHIPS
These were without a doubt one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever ate in my life. I’m a twenty something woman who knows how great an icy cold margarita can be after a hard day. I’ve also been known to do a few tequila shots with my friends …
Chunky Vegetable Beef Stew
Typically, if I’m looking for a quick lunch, I can’t go wrong with Chunky Soup. But, after trying their Vegetable Beef Stew, I have to say I don’t intend on buying that variety again.
Flavor wise, it was OK. It was a bit too salty for my tastes but it …
Fleischmann Simply Homemade Baking Mix Italian Herb Flavor
When it comes to baking cakes, cupcakes, cookies and candies I am fine in the kitchen, but when it comes to baking breads and pastries from scratch that is when my flaws show. I came across Fleischmann simply baking homemade baking bread kit while I was on the baking aisle …
Jack-N-the-Box Taco
The closest Jack-N-the-Box restaurant to me in Ohio is a few states east, so when I get the chance to have it, I always jump at the opportunity. Recently I had the chance to try their tacos and I’m still a little undecided on them. I’m used to the …
Special K Vanilla Almond Cereal
The Special K flavor of Vanilla Almond is the most recent of flavors that I have tried from this brand of cereal. I am already a fan of Special K cereals and other Special K products, so I was not very surprised that this flavor was just as good …
Izze Juice Beverage in Sparkling Grapefruit
This is a drink that I enjoy having once in a while, and I really should drink it more often, because it contains 70% pure fruit juice. It is basically like a grapefruit cocktail, because it is grapefruit juice (along with apple, orange, and other juices) combined with sparkling …
Yoplait
This is by far the grossest yogurt drink ever made which surprises me because yoplait for adults yogurt is delicious and quite healthy. I purchased a 6 pack of this yogurt drink in strawberry flavor because it has Dora the explorer on the bottles, and what kid does …
Grace Green Plantain Chips
I have always loved plantain chips ever since I tried them for the first time when I was in high school and it didn’t take me long to realise that not all brands make them as tasty as some others even though plantains on a whole tend to be …
Steak n’ Shake in Ocala Florida’s Strawberry Milk Shake
The Steak n’ Shake in Ocala Florida on Southwest College Road, is a fairly popular place that offers speedy service, friendly staff and delicious food. And the Strawberry Milk Shake is one that I know I will keep coming back for. It’s important to know, that usually I do …
Little Debbie Mini Donuts Powdered
Little Debbie Mini Donuts Powdered are probably my favorite of the three Little Debbie mini-donut product line. The powdered sugar on these donuts can most definitely be messy, but the powdered sugar does give the donuts quite a lot of
flavor! One bite into one of these mini-donuts will result …
Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Hearty White Bread
When you live in the Gulf Coast of the US (or even more specifically for me, Southeast Texas) you come to realize bread is important. From Poboys to Muffalatas and everything in between there is a “sandwich culture” here like you wouldn’t believe. That being said, you still can …
Triple Berry Loaf Cake by The Bakery at Walmart
I just love the Reduced-fat Very Berry Coffee Cake sold at Starbucks. But, I don’t want to always have to go to Starbucks to get it. When I saw this in our local Walmart Bakery section, I knew I had to try it!
While the Starbucks version contains blackberries, blueberries …
Heinz Jalapeno Tomato Ketchup
Ketchup is probably my most frequently reached for condiment. While I like mustard and relish and plenty of other common condiments, ketchup has been my favorite since I was a kid. Ketchup isn’t just for French fries, after all, although I don’t go quite as far as some folks …
Kashi Trail Mix Chewy Granola Bar
I love the brand Kashi and their wholesome goodness they deliver without all the hassle. This why I decided to try their trail mix chewy granola bar. I’ve eaten some of their other different snack bars in the past and liked them pretty well. I figured that this Trail …

I tried Hills Bros Double Mocha Cappuccino earlier this summer while on vacation. I started each morning with a cup before every day of my trip. Since returning to work, Hills Bros Cappuccino has become a regular part of my morning. As with other instant …

Xangosteen juice is a nutritious juice made from mangosteen. The mangosteen was named the queen while durian was named the king of our local tropical fruits. The mangosteen fruit contains Xanthones, the highest concentration of anti-oxidants found in nature. The whole mangosteen fruit , as found in Xangosteen Juice …
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 …
Brioche Pasquier Pains Au Chocolat
These are delicious, high quality chocolate croissants from the Brioche Pasquier brand and I bought these from Tesco at £1.50. For that you get six croissants in a packet and you can find them amongst the other packeted bread goods in Tesco. Each croissant is oblong shaped …
Doles Pineapple Plastic Cups
Doles Pineapple fruit bowls. I have found in our local grocery store that Dole’s and other producers are now putting my favorite fruit snacks into small plastic containers that are so very easy to use and to transport.
I like the Pineapple fruit bowls, they come in a six …

100 Calorie Snack Pack of Chocolate Covered Pretzel’s
While I love my healthy foods, and the good feeling that comes from eating them, I crave chocolate, sweet, salty good treats just as much. The 100 Calorie Snack Pack of chocolate covered pretzels are very satisfying for all of the cravings people can get for foods without having …
Bens Sugar Shack Pure Maple Syrup
I was recently given a bottle of the Ben’s Sugar Shack Pure Maple Syrup in Grade A Dark Amber and I have to say, it was one of the best maple syrups I have ever used on my pancakes and in my sweet pork tenderloin crock pot dish.
The …
Imperial Margerine
My family has used Imperial Margerine for several decades. I really can’t say why we started using it because I was a kid when I first became aware of it. This is one of those things where I just never changed brands from what my parents used.
Over …

Betty Crocker Supreme Original Brownie Mix
To be honest, I rarely purchase brownie mixes anymore because I tend to get a product that I like better and is simpler to prepare; but when I do buy a mix, it’s usually Betty Crocker Supreme Original Brownie Mix. This is a product that came out many …
Tazo Pomegranate Tea
I was a little apprehensive about ordering a tea from Starbucks. Typically, I order my favorite Caramel Macchiato, and that is enough to keep me sufficiently buzzed for a few hours. The Tazo teas looked appetizing. So I selected this herbal fruity flavor as a diversion …
Super Wal-Mart’s Great Value Brand Graham Crackers
Wal-Mart offers its own brand of generic grocery items under the brand “Great Value”. Since a Super Wal-Mart opened in our community I have started to do my grocery shopping there. With the current economy it is important to try saving wherever I can. I have been trying …

Snickers Chocolate Bar
As the commercial says “Hungry? Grab a Snicker” this one is true. Although Snickers is expensive for a little size, I sometimes grab and buy it and keep a stock inside my bag. It has many purpose and advantages it gives me.
First, it eliminates my hunger. While I am …
Kashi Strawberry FieldsOrganic Cereal
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 …
Pillsbury Egg Scrambles: Bacon and Veggies
I am a breakfast lover but a bad cook, so anything I can microwave is a good thing. So it was with some excitement that I grabbed a new breakfast item on my last trip to the grocery store. Pillsbury Egg Scrambles had several different options: Bacon and …
Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
If you’ve ever gone to a Vietnamese restaurant, you have probably encountered this chili sauce. If so, you’ve already had the pleasure of its acquaintance.
If not, let me be the first to introduce you.
For a lot of people, their idea of “hot sauce” usually consists of tobasco or some …
Angus Pride Steaks
We don’t normally buy the brand Angus Pride when it comes to steaks; electing instead to purchase locally grown beef. However, we had a couple packs given to us by my parents and, rather than have them go to waste, I opted to make them last night on the grill.
After …
Smucker’s Uncrustables microwaveable grilled cheese sandwich
The Smucker’s uncrustables microwaveale grilled cheese sandwiches looked so good on the package that I just had to buy them and try them. I bought the box that contained 4 individually wrapped sandwiches inside. The box says they are to be kept frozen until you are ready to take …
Tesco Crunchy Caramel Biscuits
You get 15 of these —˜treat size’ chocolate caramel biscuits in a packet and it only costs about £1. I think these are heavenly and you will like them if you like Twix as these are Twix rip-offs, but in a fun-size. These are from Tesco’s own …
Jimmy Dean Griddle Sandwiches
Not long after McDonald’s introduced their McGriddles breakfast sandwiches, I tried one - and have been hooked ever since. The McGriddle is a fast, convenient breakfast food that I can buy via the drive-thru window on my way to school every morning. And that food tastes so, so good. …
Wibisco Shirley Ginger Biscuits
I recently started liking Shirley Biscuits even though I had not liked the taste of them and therefore had not eaten them for years. These “Shirley Biscuits” are little rectangular tea biscuits with a cute little design of a cottage in the middle of them. The original Shirley tea …
AmicaVedre mayonnaise
Sometimes the cheapest things are the best, well maybe not THE BEST but at lest among the best and they can go handed hand with much cheaper products of the same kind. That’s the case with AmicaVerde . I don’t eat mayonnaise very often, but sometimes I have periods …
Burger King Onion Ring Snacks
These are Burger King branded snack chips that are supposed to be the equivalent of the onion rings they sell at the restaurant. They actually look surprisingly close to what their real onion rings look like, they aren’t just the skinny little light yellow …
Alexia Crunchy Snacks Waffle Fries - Classic Ranch
Alexia Crunchy Snacks Waffle Fries - Classic Ranch is not a flavor variety that I enjoyed very much, although I thought that I would because ranch dressing is one of three dressings I always keep in my refrigerator. The reason that I did not care for the flavor of …
Oishi Berri Plunge Strawberry Flavored Flakes
The reason why I bought Oishi Berri Plunge is its packaging. It has a cute packaging; the color is pink with red lettering. The color looks appealing to me maybe because I am a girl. There is a picture of the flakes on the packaging; however, it does not …
Raley’s Fresh Deli Homestyle Meatloaf
Recently, I tried something new from the Deli department. This was an already prepared item — Raley’s Fresh Deli Homestyle Meatloaf — so it comes ready to cook in a plastic tray. It was a 1 pound, two ounce serving, so it’s quite a lot. It’s …
Pringles Stix Pizza
Much like the honey butter variety of Pringles Stix, the pizza “stix” aren’t much to get excited over. They are a little better than the honey butter flavor of “stix”, but they really get blown away by the cheese and the jalapeno flavors. This flavor of “stix” is actually …
Safeway’s Gooey Butter Cake
I recently purchased Gooey Butter Cake in Safeway’s Bakery and I am glad I did. This “cake” is truely addicting! Although, I don’t know that I would classify it as cake. I am one of those people who can’t stand hard or dry food, especially when it comes to …
