Growing up, we shopped at Costco where we only had access to the trio of sugary cereals: Lucky Charms, Coco Puffs, and Trix. I never got to try any other type of cereal other than those three and Raisin Bran. Now older, I have no desire to …

I really love eating healthy, but can’t help that I have quite a sweet tooth. General Mills’ Honey Nut Cheerios is the perfect balance for me: a sweet, crunchy cereal that has healthy whole grains which may be good for my heart. Plus, this cereal is naturally …

I think Blue Diamond Roasted Salted Almonds are such a great snack to keep laying around! I love these salty, crunchy almonds when I need a quick energy boost. I don’t know what it is about Blue Diamond almonds, either, but I’ve tried other brands of regular …

I have consumed sodas most of my life. In an effort to restrict my calorie intake, I switched from sweetened soft drinks to artificially sweetened soft drinks but I reevaluated that decision as I investigated the use of artificial sweeteners. It seems, according to several studies, that artificial sweeteners …

I’m a fan of black currant flavored teas, and also a bargain hunter. Last month the two met up in an unfortunate mistake. I was ordering my usual brand of black currant tea (Twinings) from an online retailer and I saw that there was another brand of black currant …

I am a perpetual dieter and a person who loves to eat out. When they advertise healthier, low calorie meals at restaurants, I am one of the first to try them out. Recently I’d seen several ads for Applebee’s new menu items that had 550 calories or less, and …

My family and I drink a lot of Arizona Iced Tea, especially since we are trying to cut soda out of our diet as much as possible. While there are still way too many grams of sugar for my liking in this beverage, at least there are the …

When the brand of soda Fanta became popular a couple years ago, I was interested in trying it because I had heard a couple people say that it tasted pretty good. I think it might have come out around the time that D&G, what used to be the major …

I haven’t drank the soda Sprite in some time, but I still remember the taste of it being that it has a very distinct taste from all the other sodas I have tasted. I also don’t get the impression that it is many people’s favourite soda either, and even …

My review of this appetizer can be summed up in these words – what a greasy mess! The only time a dish like this would taste good is if you’re drunk, which I don’t recommend (getting drunk or ordering this dish). I ordered this appetizer because I’m …

I prefer chicken over ground meat when it comes to hot sandwiches. Combine that with cheese and bacon and I’m sold. I get a lot of gift cards from people because they know I love food. When I got one for Chili’s, I was tempted to …

I usually don’t get appetizers at a restaurant because most of them are nothing special. It’s mostly stuff that they take out of the freezer and toss into the deep fryer. But when I read the description for Chicken Quesadilla Grande, it sounded like something that was …

I tried almost every chicken sandwich that has been offered at sit-in and fast food restaurants. When someone gave me a gift card for Applebee’s for my birthday, I tried their Honey BBQ Chicken Sandwich. It sounded hearty and promising – grilled chicken breast with BBQ sauce …

Steak ‘N Shake Grilled Chicken Sandwich
I know when you go to a hamburger joint you’re suppose to get the hamburger. But when there are little healthier options on the menu, I generally go for it. So when I saw a menu item called the Grilled Chicken sandwich …

When I’m in the west coast, I always visit Baja Fresh. It’s a health-conscious Mexican restaurant that doesn’t use lard, trans-fats, and MSG. I usually get their nachos because their chips taste so fresh – they deep-fry tortillas around the clock to supply their customers with fresh …

In the west coast, I relied on a restaurant called Baja Fresh for good, filling nachos. When I moved to the Midwest, there weren’t any branches of that restaurant so I went on a venture to find another good nacho place. A friend introduced me to Moe’s …

As a vegetarian, I am constantly searching for different sources of protein. Since I don’t know how to cook very well, my beans and tofu dishes end up tasting bland and void of flavor. Since I love crunchy snacks and cereals, this Kashi cereal was an ideal …

Possibly the best cookies from Mulino bianco, the line of baked goods made by Barilla, the famous Italian company – and that’s saying something¨!
True to their name, these “September cookies” contain a surprisingly high amount of delicious, moist and not overly sweet fig filling, sitting at the heart of a …

Mulino bianco (or “White mill”), the line of baked goods produced by the famous Italian company Barilla, includes a good array of different cookies.
Among these, the Pan di Stelle (or “Starry Bread”) many people’s favorite.
I think it’s the decoration what appeals to most people at first: those little dark-chocolate-brown …

I absolutely love everything about the new Chocolate Cheerios! General Mills recently introduced this exciting new flavor to their Cheerios brand cereal line, and let me just say…they are delicious. I am a big fan of any food that is healthy, and that tastes as good as …

The real teriyaki flavor is there with this beef jerky. But the content of the packet was less and contrary to size of the packet the number of pieces was less. I use beef jerky as a usual snack and this teriyaki beef jerky is finished in a day. …

As frozen foods go, Stouufer’s Pastaria 3 Cheese Macaroni is very…convenient. It was easy to prepare in the microwave - I poked a couple of holes and then stuck the package in for 4 minutes. No problems. (These can also be prepared in the oven, which I haven’t tried).
The …

I love Dr. Pepper! It is honestly one of my favorite soft drinks of all time. I try to avoid soda most of the time, but Dr. Pepper gives me that tingly, fizzy, sweet-but-not-too-sweet type of taste that I crave sometimes. Pepsi and Coke don’t have …

I truly believe that Goya Adobo All Purpose Seasoning is one of the greatest inventions made by man. It has just about the only spices you every actually need for food seasoning.
Salt and Black Pepper - These two spices are used in just about any cooking. Can you …

I haven’t been a kid in a long time and my candy preferences generally run more toward high cocoa content dark chocolate than “lollies” but I received a Yummy Earth Organic Lollipop sample in an order of herbal shampoo, of all things, and gave it a try. WOW! Within …

I decided to try Dujardin Corn Mix when I couldn’t find any frozen peas at the supermarket. Dujardin Corn Mix is also a frozen product but has a mixture of peas, carrots, corn kernels and string beans in there. The price seemed to worth it but the product, not …

Today I decided to wait until after all my classes ended so I could have lunch at the fast food restaurant Tastee’s. This is because I have found eating lunch there to be much less expensive than buying lunch at the university.
At first, I decided that I could buy …

A popular brand of bread, bulla and bun here is Purity, and even though I disliked their food a few years ago, I’ve come to like a few of their products just recently, and I’m not sure if it’s because they might have changed a couple of their recipes. …

I’ve tried this Tesco Pure Apple, Mango and Lime juice when one time I bought something as part of the preparation for my sons’ birthday party. Although I’ve got some other drinks like fizzy drinks but I thought that maybe there are some guest who are a bit …

Farmstand baby cut carrots are amazingly fresh even after days of the purchase. They are very clean too. I wash them before using but all time I feel that they do not need any washing at all. I do not remember having got such a feel from any other …

I just love this peanut butter. As promised on the label it is one hundred percent extra crunchy. I was little skeptical about it dark yellow color but it turned out very good and I am very happy about the purchase. Albertsons extra crunchy peanut butter cost around three …

While the Nestle Koko Crunch is the number one favorite of my family, the Nestle Honey Stars is our number one favorite alternative to Nestle Koko Crunch. It is what I call the twin sister of Nestle Koko Crunch. This corn flake cereal with wheat oat …

Nestle Koko Krunch has been the most loved cereal by my family. I do love eating this for it satisfies my desire for a chocolately and yet fibrous and healthy meal for myself and my family.
My son was only four years old when this product was introduced I think …

Not being a particularly avid chocolate consumer I only discovered these venerable French bonbons (the factory, while backed by big capital now, has been in operation since 1922) only two years ago, while shopping for my aunt who IS a chocolate addict.
I’ll admit the first thing that made my notice …

I bought some Elmlea double cream substitute, which I thought was supposed to be healthier than cream. It has less fat than cream and a friend had recommended it to me. When I opened it up, it looked OK, quite nice and thick and it keeps for ages in …

The first time I had a taste of marmite was that when a friend of mine gave me toasted bread with marmite and butter on top and my first impression was that I don’t like it at all. When I saw it the first time I thought it …

I have always enjoyed eating LACHOY dinner meals ever since I was a kid. They have been in business for over 80 years, and offer many wonderful products.
The other day while I was out food shopping I picked up a can of LACHOY Beef Chow Mein, as I wanted …

Eliminating dairy from your diet is a good way to reduce fat and cholesterol intake. I successfully eliminated all dairy from my diet about a year ago except the half and half in my morning coffee. I look forward to my morning coffee too much to sacrifice …

I have an impression that Ralphs store has probably higher quality products than other stores. In many ways I have found this as true. But I happened to buy Ralphs large eggs from the Ralphs store in my city. I saw that price was higher than Walmart or Albertsons, …

I like Santal juices but they are not cheap, actually they are quite expensive so I afford them when they are on a discount or if I really like a particular taste and I feel like drinking it.
Santal Top Fruit Therapy Pineapple and Lime drink with Lemon Balm …

Mulino Bianco is a very popular Italian brand; they make mostly bread, biscuits but different kind of rolls too. The other day my sister wanted to try Pan di Stelle chocolate rolls, we don’t usually buy similar stuff because they just make you fat because they are sweet and …

Unfortunately, this Valentines Day I have no one to call my own, and no money to buy any chocolate truffles or candy hearts of my own, and so I decided to take two of my brother’s chocolate truffles to make myself feel a little better. They’re of the brand …

Do you sometimes find that you don’t feel like having breakfast in the morning? Bread and jam does not appeal to you, and neither does egg and ham. Whenever I feel this way, I will buy Sunshine Butter Rolls.
What I really like about the butter rolls is the rich and …

As a perpetual dieter and a fast food fan, I was immediately curious about the Taco Bell “Drive-thru diet” when I heard about it on TV. I had tried the famous “Subway diet” years previous and quite enjoyed it and found it effective. Looking further into Taco …

Of all the tomato ketchup that I could find in the supermarket I’ve always chose the Heinz ones not because of it is a well known name but because I’ve simply love it’s taste. Actually, Heinz tomato ketchup is almost perfect and I’ve always had it every time …

Having a fussy toddler at home can sometimes be very difficult for any moms which in my case my little one usually would only love to have foods that he would particularly like to have and eat which in most cases he would only choose the sweet ones which …

There is not a week that past by that I don’t cook rice risotto at home every evening but at that time I was just using a different brand which was a bit too expensive when I finally discovered at last this Tesco Arborio risotto rice for an affordable …

I’ve bought my first Sun Pat smooth peanut butter from Tesco supermarket when one time I was preparing for some Thai dish at home. I know that this one is quite expensive as the usual peanut butter that I buy from Tesco supermarket but I was a bit …

I’ve bought this Shana vegetable samosa from Tesco supermarket one time when I prepared a birthday party for my son. Since I’ve decided that every food that I have to prepare for that day will be finger foods I’ve chosen to have some vegetable samosa since I am …
