This review focuses on the Ball Park Beef Franks - 3.5 lb Package. It’s more about the packaging concept than the franks themselves, which I’ve reviewed previously. Just quickly, I love Ball Park Beef Franks. So far, they’ve been the ones I’ve liked the best. …

Once more, for the third time exploring my near diabetic Papa’s arsenal of store-bought holiday treats, we have Spaans Sugar Free Spiced Windmill cookies next on the buffet line. (For clearer context, see my other Spaans cookie reviews, such as Lemon Chiffon and Ginger Bars.)
So…how does this latest “commandeered …

What attracted me to try this sandwich was not the chicken, or the applewood-smoked bacon, or the smoked cheddar, or even Panera’s tomato basil loaf bread. It was the ancho chipotle spread, which is a creamy, spicy and smoky spread that’s supposed to meld the components of the …

Tahini is a very special thing. You either love it or hate it, there’s no way you can be indifferent about it. For those of you who don’t know, tahini is a sesame seed butter that is widely used in middle eastern cuisine and is an essential component of dishes …

I admit, I am really fond of instant coffees, it’s more of the normal thing here in our country, as compared to the freshly brewed which we find really strong. Since I tend to easily get bored with some products, I try a lot of new things, and Nescafe …

My wife realizes I’m not a big Jeff Gordon fan so, as a joke, she couldn’t resist buying me the energy drink named after him. After trying them, I’ll be willing to admit they aren’t half bad. But, you won’t see me looking for them at the grocery store …

I had a craving for tortilla chips, and I also wanted to find an easy snack that I could bring to a friend’s gathering. So I went searching for the cheapest tortilla chips I could find. I found these, which are a store brand, and were considerably less expensive …

This Pasta Side suffers from the same problem that plagues some of the other Pasta Sides, like the Cheddar Broccoli variety. The problem I’m referring to is the lack of beef. That’s what the Pasta Side is called, and yet the pieces of beef are so super small that …

For my whole life, I had avoided breakfast like the plague. I thought or suspected I was allergic to milk. But I never dreamed that I was just as allergic to eggs. I would wake up at 8AM, but I would not eat until noon. …

I always buy tic tac because I like to have different types of Tic Tac in my purse. I take some of them when I’m thirsty and I take same of them to have fresh breath when I can’t return to home for hours. I can’t support the breath …

I decided to buy these burgers at Costco last week. I was having a BBQ and figured I’d try them out. I’ve bought the Kirkland ground beef patties before and wasn’t thrilled by them. They’re already thin before you cook them. After you cook them …

I am not a big fan of tuna until recently. I am trying to lose weight and I read an article on foods that help your body to burn up fat faster. Tuna happened to be one of the foods on the list. I wasn’t too thrilled about trying …

Magic Hats beer Jinx is my favorite of all the magic hats beers. The beer is seasonal, which means it isn’t available year round, a fat that makes me very upset when I go to purchase beer in the winter months. Jinx is a brown ale that is creamy …

I am a huge fan of whole wheat pasta. To some, it is an acquired taste where for me, it grew on me prety quickly. I have tried all different brands and though I love them all, they by no means taste the same. People think …

I don’t like cooking much. As a matter of fact I don’t even know how to fry or how to cook rice (so much for my womanly duties). I always stay away from the kitchen but I do watch alot of cooking shows both local and international (I especially …

Blue Bunny King Size Chocolate Eclair Ice Cream Bar just does not seem to work very well for me. I quite enjoy a good, flavorful eclair, but this is not something that reminds of an eclair. The chocolate in this frozen treat is not all that creamy or even …

I really cannot tell the difference between this Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Real Cheesecake and the homestyle cheesecake. I cannot say that I know what they mean by the use of the word “real”. I originally thought that it meant that this cheesecake would be closer in taste …

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 …

I ran into these cookies, almost literally at my work, and they caught my attention almost immediately. I picked the package up to get a closer look. I was like wow shortbread cookies with a creamy fudge center. Sounds good.
I have always been a big fan …

Recently, I decided to splurge a bit and instead of using just packets of taco sauce for my homemade tacos, I tried out Newman’s Own All Natural Chunky Salsa - Mild. As a fan of actor Paul Newman, I have long applauded what his charity organization has done. …

Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Mint Chocolate Chip is not a flavor that I go wild over, although I do enjoy having it every now and then. The ice cream itself is mint flavored, and the mint flavor is really quite refreshing and strong. This is a flavor that …

We finally finished up the box of Pop Weaver microwaveable popcorn we bought a couple weeks ago. I’m glad. This will be the last time I buy this brand.
We love popcorn in our house and eat it a couple times each week. But, when it comes to this brand, …

Slice is a soft drink brand here and they recently released a new flavour called Red Apple. I was a bit intrigued when I saw it on the shelf and decided to pick up a bottle to try it. Hoping it might taste like a nice Apple Flavoured Wine …

I’ve been living in Chile for almost 7 Months, and I have tried almost the typical food of Chilean. One of the most famous is Calzones de Rotos, which means torn pants. It’s a funny name, yes. Why is it called that way? because of if shape like a …

I decided to give minutes ready to serve Chicken Flavor Rice Mix a try after previously trying the Italian flavor one before. I found that I mainly liked the convenience of having seasoned rice in a cup for on the go. If I wanted to have it during …

What a happy celebration we just had last week. It’s my uncle’s birthday. As expected, party foods were there to eat in the long table ; spaghetti, fried chickens, hotdogs, chocolate cake, lumpiang shanghai and more. But there’s two bottle of liquors that was kinda new to my sight. …

I don’t usually buy Linolada because it is quite expensive and I prefer Nutella because it has much better taste. But the other day I went to the shop and I saw these small Linolada packs and I couldn’t resist. I must say that i really don’t know when …

These crumpets from Tesco’s own range are very good value indeed at only 79 pence for a packet of twelve. Because I like to root around on the ‘reduced price’ shelves at Tesco, I managed to get a packet today for only 40 pence so I am even …

Hawaiian Original Kettle Style Chips are chips that are best suited for those that are worried about all the salt that is packed together on the surface of each chip. This particular variety of potato chip goes lighter on the salt than most potato chips that I have tasted …

Chineses love teas, I believe they too are the ones together with the Japanese people that might have introduced teas, or even juice extracts to the world. For the Chinese, everything is almost edible and every fruit or flower has its own medicinal benefits. I am here to actually …

Last winter my boyfriend had a terrible sinus headache. He has a history of bad sinus infections, we were really afraid that he was headed for a doctor visit which we really couldn’t afford. In a web search for natural sinus remedies, we came across the suggestion …

It is a 95 degree day here in Detroit and the sun is beating on my brow, as I sit down to review an American classic, Budweiser, to be more specific, Budweiser in the can. Now, the casual beer drinker may say, “so what if it is in an …

I found that eating Cheese NuPuffs was a great way for me to stay healthier and enjoy snacking at the same time. I love the flavor of cheese in general. A friend of mine suggested to me that I give up all the buttery popcorn and the greasy potato …

Lean Pockets Whole Grain Chicken, Broccoli & Reduced Fat Cheddar is a frozen food product that retails for one dollar and ninety-nine cents. Two come in a package. This Lean Pockets product was enjoyable to an extent, but I feel it could have been much tastier. First of all, …

Vanilla extract or vanilla bean seems to be such an unimportant thing, when you see it in the list of ingredients, but it’s not and there’s a big difference between the vanilla flavor or Vanillin and the real vanilla extract. I didn’t realize that until I actually got myself …

It used to be that, when I needed a quick and easy dinner, I could rely on Banquet Pot Pies. That’s no longer the case.
I haven’t bought pot pies in a while because the only kind I like are the Turkey and, because of some re-call, those were pulled …

I put it under the General category because it has many uses. I use this baking soda primarily as a once-a-week exfoliant for my face and whitening deodorant for my underarms. I scrub it on my face because it really smoothens the texture and gets rid of the whiteheads …

Tang is a powder based fruit juice mix that can really be rather refreshing, especially after working out. I have found that it seems to raise my bloodsugar just enough to replenish my energy levels after a brisk walk, but not it does not have so much sugar …

Springtree: Maple All Natural Syrup is a syrup that is really very rich and delicious, more so even than the syrups made by Log Cabin and Mrs. Butterworth’s, two of my favorites, but unfortunately, I find this syrup to be ridiculously priced and for only, get this, eight point …

Like many people, I’m an ice cream fan and love to indulge every once and a while. I spotted bell blue’s coconut fruit bars, when cruising the frozen treat selection of my neighborhood grocers. It was priced at $2.99 per box or 2 for $5. I love coconut, whether …

I have to say, after trying so many different brands of orange juices, this is definitely the best tasting, most natural brand and my go to brand. It seems to run a little but pricier than other brands of orange juice in the store, however there are often …

Kroger Marshmallow Treasures are very similar to Lucky Charms. The two cereals are so close in taste that I do not believe I could tell the difference if I were blindfolded. Both cereals have marshmallow pieces in addition to the regular unflavored pieces. The major difference is the price, …

Some time ago when I had exams, I didn’t have enough time to eat dinner at home since I had to leave early. I also didn’t feel like eating much because I was still nervous even though I was a bit hungry. Therefore, what I ended up doing …

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 …

It seems like I can always rely on Amy’s to make yummy packaged food. The Amy’s Enchiladas are no different. Just good and natural.
I love their enchiladas. They take 5 minutes in the microwave, but do not taste like a microwave food. They taste like …

Alcohol is something I’ve never written a review for and it’s not that I don’t drink, it’s just that I didn’t want to write about things like wine and beer, since it’s really hard to explain the flavor of those (at least for me) and will unlikely give people …

Cracker Jacks were a very integral part of my childhood. Well integral to my junk food development anyway. Living in a small village and having to rely on a convenience store instead of a grocery, supermarkert, junk food was the primary treat of my early years. There wasn’t a …

There is a Chinese Restaurant very close to where I work and one day i had no idea what to have for lunch. Surprisingly on their menu there is an option for ordering a portion of french fries or even french fries with their Chinese fried chicken.
I decide that …
