Francesco Rinaldi Three Cheese Hearty Pasta Sauce is used in my house over any form of …

As a college student, especially a freshman, I feel that I can confirm that we all love going out to eat. If we’re not going out to a restaurant, then we settle for second best, which is ordering food. What do we love to order, you may ask? Chinese …

I bought Quaker Cinnamon Life while out shopping with my daughter because it was on sale for $1.99/box. I had planned to find Kellogg’s Crispix, but couldn’t pass up the price on the Life. Cereal takes a big chunk of the budget these days.
Well, I had my …

This particular McDonald’s restaurant is almost always busy, probably because of its location on a university campus. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, it’s still a fairly clean location. (I’ve been in some McDonald’s restaurants that were not). So it’s your standard bright and cheerful McDonald’s (although it …

At first, I was skeptical of Total 100% Whole Grain Cereal but I saw it on a television commercial and was impressed with the claim of providing 100% daily value of 12 vitamins and minerals. I found it on sale at my local Kroger for $2.89 and …

It is nice for a change to see Little Debbie put out a seasonal snack that is not a carbon copy of a snack that is a part of their year-round line simply with food coloring and a different shape. These snacks come in the form of bars that …

I came across Tabasco-flavored Slim Jims in a gas station one day. I love Slim Jims and I always get one or two long sticks of original when I can. I had never tried their Tabasco-flavored model before, and I was actually looking forward to seeing how it tasted. …

I was refraining myself to eat food when I am on night shift aside from taking my dinner because my doctor told me that I need to lose weight. However, it is really hard to not eat food when you are awake and working in the night shift or …

For as long as I can remember, I have always used Betty Crocker super moist cake mixes to make homemade cakes: they are easy to prepare and can be dressed up or down to my liking. The box mix provides the base for my cakes, but I ultimately get to …

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 …

I can actually remember a time when Smarties candies did not come in the color blue. I know that is probably saying a lot about how old I am but in the 1980’s and being a child who was a chocolate lover, I was well acquainted with Smarties. It …

There is no doubt for me that one of the highlights of going to MacDonalds is their fries. I have always loved them and wish they could be readily available at home. I understand that this would probably turn me into a very overweight being, but they are lovely.

Southern Grove Crunchy Fiesta Peanuts come in a nine point five ounce bag at ALDI Food Market stores for one dollar and fifty-nine cents. I only purchased one bag of these peanuts once a couple of weeks back, but the one bag I purchased was quite satisfactory. I enjoyed …

Now I’m going to be honest I don’t like Sweet N Low Sugar. I really don’t think it’s that good. But it’s good for older people who can’t have high sugar. For instance I buy this to give to my grandma so she can enjoy some really good sugar …

I much prefer purchasing the bags of frozen Pillsbury biscuits over the biscuits that come in a canned roll because I love the convenience of being able to bake only the number of biscuits I want or think I will need. Fresh biscuits always taste better than biscuits that …

IttiBitz Cotton Candy ice cream is a sweet, delight I found in the ice cream aisle of super Wal-Mart. It’s pretty small but the flavor packs a mean punch if you’re into cotton candy.
IttiBitz is one of those “dots” ice cream; not exactly from the company Dots, but it …

I recently purchased a bag of cheez-it crisps becuse I had a coupon. the whole bag cost me about $.80 rather than the usual $2, so I thought they would be worth a try. Whattheyare, are the taste of cheez-itcrackers in a much thinner chip like cracker. I actually …

Although I feel that Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Peanut Butter Wafer Bars could have likely been richer in flavor had this product not been made with nutrition in mind, I must say that despite the fact that there is really very little sugar added to these wafer bars, they still …

Dannon Light and Fit Apple Pie Yogurt is yogurt that is supposed to taste like apple pie. In my opinion, Dannon Light and Fit Apple Pie Yogurt is really disgusting and tastes nothing like apple pie.There are apple chunks and cinnamon in it, but it tastes spicy and kind …

Aunt Jemima - Blueberry Waffles proved to be just as disappointing as the blueberry pancakes, also made by Aunt Jemima, although unlike the blueberry pancakes, at least these waffles do not suffer from the same problems that frozen pancakes do: namely falling apart easily. The only reason I decided …

Blue Bunny Double Fudge Bars is an alright treat that I am sure chocolate lovers will like, but I personally find simply satisfactory. The reason I find these fudge bars to be only satisfactory is because, for one thing, I am not all that crazy about fudge. I do …

There comes a time when I have a craving for something crunchy and flavorful. I am self-professed crunchy snack fanatic and usually have something on hand that is satisfying and crunchy. In this case, I was able to grab a bag of Lays Cheesy Garlic Bread Flavored Potato Chips.

Hershey’s Cookies N Cream Milk is de-li-cious! I have tried a lot of breakfast shakes, milkshakes, protein shakes, and other milk products, but none stand a chance against Cookies N Cream. The taste is similar to that of the Hershey Cookies N Cream candy bar. Besides the …

My family has been getting Trader Joe’s Honey Nut O’s for about 3 years now. The price is around 2 dollars a box, for a normal cereal box size. I usually get three boxes at a time because they finish so fast. Three boxes last us about two weeks …

Jimmy Dean Original Pork Sausage Patties are fully cooked with, per the package, “fresh-from-the-skillet taste. Fast!”
I must agree; this is definitely right-on advertising. I’ve eaten a lot of sausage in my lifetime, and Jimmy Dean’s has been the best from the moment it debuted. These boxes …

Today I got to experience a soft drink from Scotland while having lunch at a new British-styled Fish and Chips shop. I already had English tea, but wanted something more. This particular brand was the only thing they had that was diet. They carry no products that originate in …

Aunt Jemima Butter Rich Syrup has a distinctive flavor to it that separates it from the original syrup. The main difference is this syrup has a very real butter flavor integrated with the normal syrup flavor. The butter flavor is most certainly rich and real, however, that did not …

Have you ever tried eating a fried ice cream? This may seem really awkward but I guess it is just marvelous seeing something like this prepared in front of you. The melted ice cream is poured into a metal pan and it is fried right in front of …

When you hear someone say the word Manicoti, what do you think of? I know that I think of a tender, deliciously thin encasement of pasta barely containing a motherlode of fresh ricotta cheese mixed with a bit of parmesian and maybe some chives, all smothered in a sumptious …

Green Tea To Go is a great way to get more water into your diet. For those of you who cannot stand the taste of plain water and just can’t seem to get enough into your day, I would highly recommend trying the Green Tea To Go. They come …

When shopping at Super WalMart they had some Jennie-O Ground Turkey for sale, less than $2 a pound. We decided to give it a try, since we’ve heard turkey is better for you than beef, and ground beef here can be $4 or more a pound (unless on …

I am reviewing Wrigley’s Orbit White Bubblemint gum. You can now buy this in the “BigePak” which is a circular shaped container. It is less than $3, and you get quite a bit of gum for that price. This particular size would be good to throw in your purse …

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 find Buehler’s Gourmet Break ‘N Bake Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cup cookies to be somewhat average in terms of flavor. For a dollar eighty-nine, they just aren’t quite worth the money. These peanut butter cookies are not all peanut butter, but rather, there are pockets of peanut butter. …
