Flahavan’s Real Fruit Porridge with Sunrise Fruits
My gentleman friend were out for coffee a while back when we noticed that the British import store next to the coffee shop was open. So we went in to look around.
Everything you can imagine from the UK was in there, including scones, meat pies, Shepherd’s pies (frozen), …
Boneless Pork Ribs by Banquet (frozen dinner)
I like buying Banquet frozen dinners because they are an affordable way to buy lunches and dinners for my family. They are also easy to make so the kids can make them on their own which leaves time for me to work on other things. I usually really like …
Lemon Basil
I just got the first flowers on my first Lemon Basil plant grown from seed. The scent is great, you can smell it when you water the plant, if you touch it, or if the wind catches it just right it makes the leaves rub together and releases the …
Dilly Bars from Dairy Queen
I grew up going to Dairy Queen. It used to be everywhere, and it was just awesome food back in the day. One of my favorite treats as a child was their Dilly Bars. They were a little bigger back then and packaged differently than they …
Dairy Queen Ice Cream
Dairy Queen ice cream parlors have been around for quite some time now yet they still continue to make one of the best ice creams in the world. Their products are actually very simple: ice cream, smoothies & shakes, and bars.
MENU
Dairy Queen’s business is known primarily for its …
Girl Scout Cookies Dulce De Leche
Beware! The Girl Scout cookies that were on order recently have arrived. My husband came home from church yesterday (I was sick and couldn’t go) and underneath each arm was a box of Girl Scout cookies. One of my students is in the second grade and …
Recheks Food Pride Baked Chicken
I wanted to go to KFC last night for dinner and ended up in the lobby of the restaurant. But, after discovering a chicken dinner would cost me about $30, I ended up leaving (what the heck is with the high prices at that place) and went to Recheks …
Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips
One of the reasons that I do not feel as guilty about eating chicken at Chick-fil-A is because they use refined peanut oil to cook their chicken products. That is definitely a healthier way to prepare fried chicken! The Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips are no exception, and they too are prepared …
Swanson Salisbury steak packaged dinner
I am not usually a huge fan of television dinners but I do love Swanson products, so when their packaged dinners came on sale two for $5 I just had to buy them. The first one I selected was the Salisbury steak dinner with mushrooms, gravy potatoes and corn, …
Kellogg’s Special K
Today there is such a variety of cereals in the supermarkets that is difficult to choose.Usually I didn’t eat cereals because most of them are corn flacks and I don’t like them very much.But I started to buy Kellogg’s Special K because they are rice and wheat flakes.I liked …
Hamburger Helper Italian Shells
As much as I like Hamburger Helper for the convenience, I do have to wonder about the quality of some of their products. The flavor I had today, Italian Shells, illustrates this perfectly.
The Italian Shells themselves didn’t taste too bad. They were a bit salty but I can live …
MaraNatha Almond Butter
I love Almond Butter. It is a special treat that hits the spot and kills sugar cravings for me. There is one problem and that is the price. I generally see prices range from $5.99 to $13.99 for a 12oz (340g) container. I purchased MaraNatha Almond butter partly …
Twinings Camomile Green Tea
Twinings has the best line up for flavored green tea. It is my favorite brand of tea and surprisingly it has lots of flavors in their website as regards green tea variety. Sadly, only jasmine, mint, lemon and earl grey flavors are sold here. One of my favorite kind of …
Russell Stover Mint Dream
This week I decided to treat myself to a Russell Stover Mint Dream, a thick, rich mint I’ve had from time to time over the years. Russell Stover is a premium maker of chocolate candies. They do a great job. While I don’t like everything, there …
Trop50
Trop50 is gross. Advertised as a juice product with 50% less sugar, trop50 is not even really orange juice. It is “vitamin enriched juice drink.” I expected that it would taste like regular orange juice, just a little bit less sweet. I was wrong. …
Barber Foods Cordon Bleu Chicken Breasts
I am big on any ham and cheese product, so I was glad that Barber Foods had the Cordon Bleu chicken breast. Ham, cheese, and a chicken breast? You can’t go wrong in that department as far as I’m concerned.
Again, two chicken breasts in a box and the same …
Domino’s Chicken Habenero Sub
In this recession, there have been very few companies posting profits. Among those few profitable companies, Domino’s has been thriving. I think I may have stumbled across one of the reasons why, and it comes in a little cardboard box.
Currently in my area (Fredericksburg, VA), Domino’s is …
Peanut butter kit kat
The peanut butter kit-kat is the latest in their ‘chunky’ range. Having tried all the other flavours I felt it was my duty to sample this new one.
What I like most about chunky kit-kats is the amount of chocolate on them and the peanut butter kit-kat is no …
Maggie noodles
My husband is a food lover and he always insists me to prepare different kinds of food for him. Even my kids love to taste different kinds of food. Last week I tried Maggie noodles for the first time. I prepared it in the evening as …
Tesco Enriched Olive Spread
This is a very nice butter-like spread from Tesco’s own range, called Enriched Olive Spread. This is not pure butter but a mixture with vegetable oils and olive oil. This not only tastes good, but I can use it in baking and it also has health benefits. …
Apple Jacks Cereal Straws
Apple Jacks Cereal Straws left an unpleasant taste in my mouth. Normally I enjoy the taste of cinnamon but I found these to be very unpleasant. I couldn’t eat more than the one and I forced myself to finish that one. I was surprised they didn’t taste better as …
Jack’s Barquillos - Chocolate Covered
I went to the grocery store the other day and came across something in a red and yellow package which was also semi-clear in parts. Through these clear parts I could see something which seems to be chocolate covered. I only assumed these were another brand of imported rolled …
Perk chocolates
Who does not like to eat the chocolates? The chocolates are the favourite instant desserts for every one. I love to eat the chocolates always or any time when I think of it. But my favourite chocolate is the Perk chocolate. This chocolate is not …
Escargot
Ok, what is escargot??? First time i heard it, it seemed to be some kind of cargo service whatever :D (forgive me for passing too many French class :D). I got introduced for the first time with escargot when I was having dinner with my family. My dad ordered …
Ben&Jerry’s non-dairy vegan ice-cream
Vegan ice-cream is a big thing right now, as a lot of people choose to follow that cruelty-free lifestyle and a lot of people also have a lactose-intolerance or a milk allergy, so the market of dairy-free ice-cream is growing with every day. I’ve tried a lot of vegan ice-cream …
Red Trolly Ale
I had the pleasure of finally tasting and drinking Red Trolly Ale on my trip to Disneyland the last couple of years, and I must say that this stuff is very good and tastes so good once it hits your lips. I had it at this little beer stand they …
Blue Bunny Big Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich
I tasted Blue Bunny Big Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich in an ice cream treat. It was a thick vanilla ice cream that is embedded between two rich chocolate wafers. It was a tasty combination altogether. It was such a novel ice cream that I had in recent times. This …
Helen Grace Assorted Chocolates
I have never heard of Helen Grace Chocolates until my aunt from the US brought me one when she came over for a vacation. It was a nice, brown, opulent-looking box with a nice ribbon, and it said the words Helen Grace. Actually, just from looking at it, I …
Edwards Singles Hot Turtle Brownie with Creamy Ice Cream
Edwards Singles Hot Turtle Brownie with Creamy Ice Cream was a nice surprise. I’ve been seeing it for a long time at the grocery store and made a spontaneous purchase of it during a recent shopping trip.
The dessert comes two in a package. I really wasn’t sure …
Selecta Choco Almond Fudge Ice Cream
Being a true-blue chocolate lover, I was excited to try this new flavor from Selecta’s ice cream selection. I bought the 800ml pint of Choco Almond Fudge for only approximately $2.80, and with that price it’s really not that expensive for something that 2 persons can share to, maybe …
Quorn mince
I often use this product when I am making spaghetti and other dishes but instead of me using a real meat pork mince I decided to use this one instead. I learned about this product when a friend of mine mentions this to me one time. Since …
Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit Strappleberry Chewing Gum
I should probably not watch television as much as I do because one is never sure what they will learn. I stumbled across a program about how chewing gum is made and was educated in the fact that the gum base is a mixture of rubber and plastic, …
Parati Minueto Caramel Filled Wafers
I love sweets and sometimes when I am in the mood for a light snack I love to turn to eating wafers. There are so many brands, varieties and flavours to choose from and sometimes I encounter a brand and flavour which I deem my favourite of them all. …
Marie Callender’s Scalloped Potatoes & Ham
Marie Callender’s Scalloped Potatoes & Ham was simply awesome. This is one of Marie Callender’s new varieties of frozen foods. I’ve been so happy to see new choices out there. It’s actually made me excited to have more choice.
I eat a lot of frozen foods and …
Krusteaz Lemon Bar Mix
Krusteaz Lemon Bar Mix produces some pretty scrumptious lemon bars! The lemon flavor is intensely sweet, terrifically tangy and oh so moist! Each bite I take energies my taste buds and really sets them ablaze. This lemon flavor will definitely not go unnoticed! I also really like how soft …
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner is one of our family’s favorite quick and yummy meals. Usually, I don’t care for “brand names” very much, and if I can find a cheaper alternative to a product I like I will use it; however, with this particular product imitations have proved …
Extra Fruit Sensations Gum in Strawberry Banana
The Extra Fruit Sensations gum in Strawberry Banana is my absolute favorite gum in the world! It tastes amazing, just as sensation as the name says. The fruity but sweet taste is like heaven to my taste buds. I definitely recommend these; they’re so yummy. These are great to …
Stauffer’s Cheesy Whales Crackers
Goldfish crackers are a classic treat. Just about anyone who has had a lunchbox packed with snacks has had Goldfish crackers at some point. Sadly, the number of people who have had the Stauffer’s Cheesy Whales crackers is significantly smaller.
These crackers come from a Meiji …
Toblerone Swiss Milk Chocolate with Honey and almond Nougat
I loved eating chocolates, it really makes me happy to eat chocolates because it has ingredients that make us cheerful and active. One of the best chocolate in the town that really captures me is Toblerone Swiss Milk Chocolate with honey and almond nougat.
This Toblerone chocolate is deliciously yummy …
JinXuan Tea Tomatoes
My aunt gave us a pack of JinXuan Tea Tomatoes which are preserved small tomatoes, probably cherry tomatoes. They are packed in small red plastic packaging which holds 1-2 pieces. The wrapper is not transparent so you cannot see what the product looks like.
The product itself looks …
Supreme Basmathi Rice
If u are a good cook the it is really fine, but if I tell amount me then I am not at all a good cook but whenever I use the supreme basmati rice for cooking the food what I prepare becomes very tasty, because the rice which I …
Berry Burst Ice Cream Oreos
Normally, I have been against the changes that have been made with the beloved Oreo cookie. But, there was no way I couldn’t try the new berry burst ice cream flavor Oreos. They were a refreshing change from the usual Oreo flavors that I haven’t enjoyed. It is a …
Guinness Draught Beer
You’ve probably seen the shirt’s, you’ve probably seen the commercials on TV, you may have even heard the interesting story about the brewery itself, but not many people have actually tried Guinness Draught Beer. My first impression of it was that it was not very good, it sort of …
Selecta Chocolate Almond Fudge Ice Cream
Selecta has been a good household local name here in the Philippines. They have been creating good ice cream flavors that can be comparable to the foreign brands for less the price.
They have recently released the flavour Chocolate Almond Fudge. A half gallon of ice cream would cost Php …
Tic Tacs
For some reason, I have been enjoying Tic Tacs lately. My husband acutally had some bloodwork done recently and it showed that his bloodsugar was just the slightest bit higher than where it should be. As a result, he immediately began to decrease sugars from his diet …
Jack and Jill Pretzel Chocolate Sticks
Jack and Jill Pretzel Chocolate Stick also known as Pretzel alone is a one of kind chocolate sticks. It has no rival when it was out in the market a decade now. My mother always buy Pretzel on her way home from work and I remember checking on her …
Anchor butter
My niece once told me that she will not eat bread unless it has a sandwich spread. Of course, a bread’s taste will be enhanced through those spreads. I always buy varieties of these. I sometimes buy butter, a cheese spread, a chocolate spread or any other sandwhich spread. …
Calve ketchup
This ketchup really is the best ketchup in the world. Since I tasted this one I don’t buy any other because it is just not worth it. Less expensive brends are many cheper for 20-30 cents but the taste can’t be compared to Calve ketchup but the problem is …
Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Snack Cakes Vanilla
I personally prefer these Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Snack Cakes Vanilla variety to the chocolate variety because I find the vanilla flavor to be rich and more delicious. I really enjoy, so I suppose that should not come as a surprise. I like that these cakes have a …
