Marco’s Pizza - Pepperoni Magnifico
Marco’s Pizza - Pepperoni Magnifico is indeed magnificent! After trying this special variation of pepperoni pizza, I do not believe that I will ever order just a regular pepperoni pizza for as long as Marco’s Pizza offers this delicious creation. What is so different about this kind of pepperoni …
Starbuck’s Frappuccino (cold drink) Coffee Taste
Cold coffee drinks are one of my addictions. So whe I saw one of them produced by Starbucks, I just had to try. The little devil of 250ml costed me €1,89 (about $2) at a Belgian supermarket. Not cheap, but compared to the prices of Starbucks drinks in their …
Piattos Roadhouse Barbecue Chips
Piattos Roadhouse Barbecuq is a new flavor of the “Piattos” potato chips. I have always enjoyed eating Piattos as a child and I have never outgrown enjoying this snack even if there are quite a lot of competitors around selling snacks much cheaper than that of Piattos. Piattos is …

Trader Jo’es Honey Nut O’s

Our Family Corn Dogs
Product description: Box of frozen, battered corn dogs. I found them on sale for $1.99 this past Sunday.

McCormick Pure Mint Extract
Hi there! Today I decided to share something that, in my opinion, all mint-lovers should have at home. One day I really started craving peppermint mocha, even though it’s the beginning of August and it’s like 100 degrees outside. But the cravings wouldn’t go away, so I had to come …

TYKU
This is my first review so I’m just trying this out. I had the opportunity to try the newest liquor on the market…TYKU a saki based drink. The taste is very much like a sweet saki, but with a little more kick and a lot more refreshing. It was …
Maggi Magic Sarap All-In-One Seasoning
I never know how to cook until I went abroad to work. I had no choice, it’s either eating out, which is more expensive, or cooking at home. Eating out is not only more expensive, but I have to eat the same food over and over again. So I …

Taco Bell’s Beefy 5-Layer Burrito
Taco Bell’s beefy five layer burrito is nothing short of amazing. Personally, I have eaten hundreds of these since they hit the locations. The burritos are only 89 cents, but taste a great deal better than a plain bean burrito of similar cost. They are great for anyone who …

Hostess Fruit Pies - Strawberry
Unlike the pineapple and blackberry varieties of the Hostess pies, this strawberry variety is unfortunately a lot more like the apple and cherry varieties. That means that the filling, in my opinion, is not as authentic and rich as it should be. It has an artificial flavor to it …
Betty Crocker Helper Complete Meals Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Now while I love Betty Crocker cake mixes and baking supplies I am not a big fan of prepared meals and this Helper Complete Meals Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo really failed to impress me! I got this box of chicken, noodles and sauce as part of a Christmas hamper gift …
M&M’s Peanut Chocolate Candies
I’ve grown up with M&M’s Peanut Chocolate Candies and they’ve continued to be a favorite. I will have to admit up front that I’ve cut back on the peanut version quite a bit because several years ago, I bit into one of those and broke my tooth. …
Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular flavor instant coffee
Out of so many brands of instant coffee, I still love to drink Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular instant coffee. The Nescafe 3-in-1 Strong is too strong for me, and the Nescafe 3-in-1 Mild has no coffee taste at all.
At least Nescafe 3-in-1 Regular instant coffee mix has the aroma …
Gluten Free Pantry Chocolate Chip Cookie and Cake Mix
If you want a cookie or cake that bakes similar to one made with wheat flour then the Gluten Free Pantry brand of chocolate chip cookie and cake mix might be the one for you. This mix is easy to make. All of the ingredients are in the box …
RitterSport Ciocco-Duo

Girnar Instant Tea Premix with Masala (Indian Spiced Tea)
On a rainy day there is nothing like sipping on a hot cup of Masala Chai (Indian Spiced Tea) with some savory snacks like Samosas (Vegetable stuffed fried snack) or Pakoras (spicy fritters). It is the most awesome feeling.
Making a Masala Chai from scratch requires the right amount …

I am not a big fan of using coconut for cooking nor do I like to eat raw coconut as a snack but I love sweets made with toasted dry coconut shreds or bits.
There is just something amazing about the aroma of toasted coconut and the chewy texture and …
Betty Crocker Super Moist Yellow Cake Mix
I’ve grown up on the Betty Crocker brand, including their cake mixes. One of the ones I’ve had probably more than other is the Betty Crocker Super Moist Yellow Cake Mix. In my family, the yellow mix has been prepared because we view it as a middle …
Kelloggs Special K Honey Clusters
I’m allergic, just mildly to nuts and so in a bid to find a cereal that tasted somehow nutty but doesn’t contain nuts, I stumbled upon Kelloggs Special K Honey Clusters. I’m not usually one for buying branded cereals but I have been very pleased indeed with these. …
Mrs. Freshley’s Cinnamon Danish
Although I am quite the fan of cinnamon, I really am not all that big of a fan of Mrs. Freshley’s Cinnamon Danish. The reason being is the cinnamon flavor is not quite as rich and delicious as I was hoping that it would be. I have had desserts …

Tia Rose Flour Tortillas
Tia Rose Flour Tortillas claims to be Mexico’s “#1 tortilla brand.” I bought a package of ten, and it actually came recommended to me by a clerk at the grocery store. I didn’t know what I wanted it and asked him to choose one for me. …
Lambertz Exquisit Biscuits, Wafer
I like to eat wafers very much because most of them are not too sweet. The cream is sweet but the wafer is not so the combination of these two is great. Some wafers are too sweet but just the ones that have too much cream. I don’t buy …
Barilla Tri-Color Bow Tie Pasta
I like to eat a lot of pasta, and through my many travels down the pasta aisle have decided that the barilla bow tie pasta is one of the best. This tri-colored pasta is white red and green, with pasta that is supposed to have a spinach and tomato …

Chick-fil-A Cheesecake
Fast foods generally are not known for their desserts and usually the dessert menu at a fast food is pretty limited, but not at Chick-fil-A! The Chick-fil-A Cheesecake is a real sweet treat to have and it is definitely one of the better slices of cheesecake that I have …
Quality House Extra Dry Gin
I drink Gin and Tonic when we are entertaining friends, but it is difficult to find a decent dry Gin, unless you buy Quality House Extra Dry Gin. It is 35% alcohol, and I usually purchase the smaller bottle of 200 ml.
Quality House Exrta Dry Gin is refreshing when served …
Sorrento Cheese Sticksters
I’ve always enjoyed Sorrento’s many fine cheese products both in cooking and simply as a healthy and quick snack. Recently I tried their “Sticksters” cheese for kids (although grown ups can eat it too!). It is along the same idea as the stringsters type of cheese but the sticksters …
