Great Value Instant Garlic Butter Potatoes
I love eating mashed potatoes with any meal, however it takes a lot of work to make them. I don’t always have time to boil potatoes, peel them, mash them, and cream them. Sometimes I just need a quick substitute to homemade mashed potatoes. I tried the Great Value …
Breeks Cafe
I love Breeks Cafe very much indeed. In fact, it is my new found love. I was introduced to this food restaurant in the year 2007, and I think the outlets were first introduced perhaps during that year. It was my friend’s birthday bash, and I was …
V8 Splash Juice Drink
I am not the most avid vegetable eater, but like to try to get vegetable nutrients. I tried regular V8 and was highly disgusted at it’s high amount of tomato juice. I couldn’t enjoy it at all and figured I should try something more subtle. I saw the V8 …
Kraft Easy Mac
I am all about Kraft’s new Easy Mac. It, quite simply, is small bags of noodles and when added to water and microwaved, they boil. Once that task is accomplished, you simply add the enclosed container of powder, and …….wala! You have yourself a perfect single …
Beer Samuel Adams Cream Stout
I had this from a bottle, poured into a 16 oz. pilsner glass (a.k.a. my standard high-class glassware). Once poured, the beer produced a faint, tan-colored, 1-finger thick head with lacing that lasted throughout the entire drink.
The beer is a very dark brown, almost opaque with a little …
Maruchan Beef Flavored Ramen Noodle Soup
My favorite lunch is soup and a sandwich, but I’m presently on a tight budget, so I’m happy to have a low-cost alternative to fall back on. Canned soups’ prices have escalated recently, so they’re not the bargain as before. I still stock up when they go on sale, …
Nestle Sterilized Milk with Gingko Biloba

Kroger Value Peach Pieces
Kroger Value Peach Pieces are really not as good as I was hoping that they would be. The peach pieces did not strike me as being overly fresh - at least, they did not seem as fresh as they could have been. I know that peaches that are pre-sliced …
Kelloggs Corn Flakes Cereal
They call it the original — Kelloggs Corn Flakes Cereal. It’s certainly the most recognizable and purest of the Kelloggs family of cereals. My father loved this product tremendously. It was pretty much a staple in our cupboards as I grew up.
As for me, I wasn’t …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Chocolate Champion
I have to say that I think this might possibly be simply the best chocolate ice cream I have ever tasted. Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Chocolate Champion is indeed, a champion among the chocolate ice creams. It has about the richest and deepest chocolate flavor that I think …
Kitiyama Restaurant
Kitiyama Restaurant is an upscale restaurant in Newport Beach, California. It is located on the border of Costa Mesa around the John Wayne airport area. The restaurant is traditional Japanese. Although is is considered upscale, I consider it dressy casual and very intimate once you are seated. As …
Zipfizz energy drink-mix powder
I was surprised to find, during my grocery shopping at my local Wal-Mart, an energetic, bright-eyed woman of about thirty-five years of age, giving out samples of Zipfizz. She described it as a “healthier alternative to energy drinks by providing you with important vitamins and minerals!”

Lay’s Stax
I thought I’d try these the other day because I felt like eating something crunchy. I tried the cheddar flavour, for no particular reason.
I liked the flavour of the chip well enough, it was nice and a little bit cheddar-y without feeling really cheesy or getting orange powder all …

Michelina’s Lean Gourmet - Pepperoni Pizza Snack Rolls
