Log Cabin: Country Kitchen Butter Syrup is slightly better than the original variety, although the syrup is still not as good as the original Log Cabin syrup. What separates this syrup from the other Log Cabin varieties is the addition of butter to the recipe. There is a real …

Well, it’s once more back into the old metaphorical lunch pail of mine, and this time, I’m hitting up the “home style” line of Campbell’s soups with Campbell’s Home Style Chicken and Herb Dumpling. But, is it really as down home as they claim it is? Come on reader …

The premium-refined sugar is another brand of sugar, which is available in shops and also in the super markets. Actually I have my mother using this brand of sugar. The premium-refined sugar is also cleaned and processed and also called as the refined sugar. It is …

Wendy’s - Double Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe is a burger that is a little on the small size in terms of its burger patties, but it can still be filling if you add something to go along with it, like say chili or a baked potato. That is what I …

Any food that has the words fiber and antioxidants in the title is something that I normally would never buy. It is not that I don’t care about nutrition, or that I don’t eat foods with fiber and antioxidants, it is just that I get those ingredients from healthy …

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 …

Finding good frozen meatballs isn’t a task that is easily accomplished. Frozen meatballs simply don’t taste as good or come as solid as homemade meatballs. Making meatballs at home though requires time and time is not always something that I have in abundance. Thus, purchasing pre-made frozen meatballs for …

The pim pom loly pops are the favorite loly pops for my kids. The pim pom loly pops come in many varieties or in many flavors which are very tastier. My 3 year old son always wants to have it. Its main flavors are banana, mango, …

I really like Cheerios. They arn’t a particuarly flavorful cereal, but there is somehting about them that is still a little familiar and tasty to me. I’ve been eating cheerios for ears, possibly since I was small. They dont have all the sugar that other cereals have, and really …

I am impressed with this Strawberry Flavour Whip from the Tesco Value range and it only costs a puny six pence for a 38g sachet. I had been craving some Angel Delight but when shopping in Tesco with a friend, she persuaded me to try this ridiculously cheap …

There are a lot of bag orange juice and fruit juice brands around the island, and even more brands of just plain bag drink. Therefore, I was not surprised on one Saturday when I ordered a bag orange juice and found out that it was a brand I had …

I love sweets and chocolate and the plain chocolate M&M’s are my favourite after the crispy ones (which I don’t see around anymore) I love the hard candied coating of the Plain Chocolate M&M’s. I sometimes like to just eat the candy coating off the plain chocolaty middle then …

I like Mrs. Dash’s salt-free blends. I think they’re a great alternative to other forms of seasoning that have lots of sodium. I really think they try hard to create the best possible flavor mixtures without adding salt.
Their Southwest Chipotle blend is perfect for any dish that calls for …

Hormel Compleats have many different varieties out there now. I’ve tried several because I love how quick and easy they are to prepare. The latest one I tried was Hormel Compleats Chicken Alfredo which is chicken with penne pasta in Alfredo sauce. It’s one serving of …

Well, I finally broke down, on doctor’s orders and started drinking Green Tea. I tried a couple of brands and then I tried Lipton’s. I’ve been drinking other Lipton teas all of my life so I figured their Green Tea would be a good bet. My …

I love the flavor of coconut. I love its rich and wonderful taste. I was in the grocery store looking for something that would give me a coconut flavoring when I saw this extract. I bought it to impart a coconut taste to a recipe I was making in …

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because if you skip breakfast your metabolism knows and what happens is that it slows down. This means that your metabolism will be slower the rest of the day and if you are trying to lose weight then you are …

All the nutrition specialists tell us daily how carbonated soft drinks are destructive for our stomach and digestive systems.
We are also encouraged to consume less and less caffeine and other related drinks.
Surprisingly how the stores are full with such sweet temptations and one can’t help but buying and enjoy them.
What …

Ice cream has gotten really expensive and many of the brands have reduced the size of the container, yet still charge the old price. Since we have been shopping at the new Super-Wal-Mart that opened in the community I have been trying out their generic brands with the label …

When I’m looking at all the different kinds of soup available now in stores, I’m partially in disbelief over all the various ingredients that are put into soups nowadays. Some soups even try and incorporate all the parts of a complete meal, such as the meat, potatoes and vegetables, …

Is there any better tasting beer than Corona? Corona means Crown in Spanish, and I have to think I agree with their assessment. They are far more the King of Beers than Budweiser could ever hope to be.
I am not myself much of a beer drinker, although …

Wheat Thins have become my snack food choice. I haven’t experimented with all of the flavors available but I am very impressed with the ones I have tried. I have eaten the reduced fat variety, ranch flavored, parmesan basil, multi-grain and garden vegetable. My favorite is Wheat …

This product was a total impulse buy at the grocery store the other day, and I’m really disappointed. I haven’t made brownies in a few years, so I don’t remember what brand I used in the past, and when I happened upon the box of Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge …

This chocolate sponge sandwich from the Co-operative’s own brand is only 70p and, for that price, it tastes pretty good. It is obvious not a gourmet sponge cake and I find that there is not too much in it, but it was moist and tasted nice and chocolatey …

By now many people have heard of Truvia, which is a sugar substitute that is made from stevia, a South American plant. I was drawn to this sweetener because I have a serious sweet tooth but I don’t like all of the calories and other issues that can come …

I am a heavy tea drinker. I think that I drink an entire pitcher of tea in the winter and even more during the hotter months of the year. My favorite tea is Lipton tea bags. I like the convenient 100 count boxes and they are …

I found the Loretta Instant Mashed Potatoes in the food aisle of Big Lot. Every once in a while I like to eat instant potatoes, and this four cheese variety looked good on the box. The box was marked low in fat, cholesterol free and 0 g of trans …

My husband and I really like treating ourselves to a Moo-Latte from Dairy Queen. They are a blended drink with a coffee base. It’s not a smooth consistancy but has small icy crystals in it which my husband loves. The Moo-Latte comes in Mocha, Hazelnut, Vanilla …

Quaker has always been that go to brand for as long as I could remember. They always have interesting products that appeal to all ages and people from all walks of life. In this case, when I was in the store, I noticed a product I hadn’t seen before. …

The name of this Pasta Side might be a little misleading because there actually isn’t any bits or pieces of chicken in this Pasta Side. What is in this Pasta Side is a sauce that has the flavor of chicken. The sauce, although thicker than the broth in a …

I like the idea behind these cereal bars because there is a lot of nutrition packed into just one of these bars in the form of calcium and vitamins and the bar itself is easy and not too messy to have even if I only have time for a …

Having had some very good potstickers in my day, I was dubious about the quality of this Healthy Choice product. But when Wal-Mart was having a sale on this entrée, I bought it because it’s always nice to have a backup meal waiting in the freezer. Right …

Sometimes, it’s nice to have something a little sweet after breakfast in the morning. I see the Nature Valley Soft-Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Squares as like an after breakfast dessert, one that isn’t extremely sugary and is small and light enough that I can enjoy even if I’m feeling full …

I just tried this cereal not too long ago because the shoppers where I live had a sale on cereal. It’s pretty good. The strawberry taste is very strong. It’s definately different from the other kinds of chex. I love strawberries and almost anything flavored with strawberry but I …

The frozen dinner “Burrito Grande with Salsa” by Cedarlane is one that I find to be tasty for the most part, although I found the salsa topping to really be unremarkable in its flavor and I felt that a spicier and richer salsa could have definitely enhanced my enjoyment …

I just recently discovered True North Snacks. They are so good. They have a wide variety of different nut snacks. They not only taste amazing but they are healthy for you. They are all natural. My favorites are the Almond Clusters and the Pecan Almond Peanut Clusters. I can …

I have 5 different discounts near my house and that actually means that I rarely buy stuff that isn’t on discount, that was the case with Sonny Cappuccino too. I saw that 350g of this cappuccino cost only 1,95 Euro, on discount of course, although usually I pay that …

I tend to go for ‘healthy’ foods that I think will be good for me based on the packaging. However, it always helps to look at the package carefully and make sure that it is not just saying it is healthy. Aldi food stores offers a line …

Cedarlane Three Layer Enchilada Pie is a tasty dish that is also quite filling! This enchilada consists of three loaded layers that pack a pretty tasty punch! Each layer is separated by a corn tortilla. There is something that is special about these corn tortillas, though: they are organic. …

I think these gorgeous Galaxy Pieces are pretty new on the market and I had to buy some after I saw an advertisement in a magazine. The little chocolates in the photo looked lovely and I am a big fan of Galaxy chocolate anyway, especially Galaxy Carmel. …

Convenience isn’t everything, especially when it comes to food.
Convenience is important these days, especially with all of the other activities that fill up our time. So, instead of stuffing a chicken and roasting it, I thought that I would try Stove Top stuffing. It’s easy to …

This is one of my absolute favorite treats! At less than ninety cents per donut, it is also a very cheap snack. I love that I don’t have to feel guilty about the fact that it’s a bad treat AND expensive, because what’s ninety cents?
I get a Tim Horton’s …

I had the opportunity to prepare a salad from Sandy’s Café’s salad bar. From a distance the bar appears to be full of items. But upon closer inspection, you realize that it is quite the contrary. Sure, there are several items on the bar …

I am always looking for a way to spice up recipes, so I bought Gia Anchovy Paste in a 60gram squeeze tube at my local supermarket. I�m not a big fan of anchovies in a can, but this paste was just the thing I was looking for, for a …

I have said a lot about the MN brand mango pickles. And now I am going to talk about the MN brand mango pickle. The very good quality tender mangoes are cut in to cubes and these cubes are used to make the pickle. The spices …

I like LifeSavers mint candy, it is one of my favorite candy-dish fillers. LifeSavers are available as Wint-o-Green (mint) and Pepp-o-Mint (peppermint); a well-sized 13 oz bag costs $1.98. Each candy is individually wrapped, and each has “LifeSavers” impressed on it. The candies are white, round, with a hole …

Ok, I really need to rant about this soda that I just saw in a store and bought. It was Gross!!! No seriously, don’t drink it! Lol. The name of the soda is called “St. Nick’s Candy Cane Cola”. The only way to describe this is to call it …

If I do say so myself, I make a mean chocolate chip cookie from scratch. Chocolate chip cookies are my favorites, and they always have been. If you want to get on my good side with a cookie, make it a good chocolate chipper and you can’t …
