When it comes to brand name mashed potatoes I stick to Betty Crocker, but I liked the fact that the loaded potatoes had bacon and chives in it.
I purchased the Country Crock loaded mashed potatoes because I didn’t really feel like cooking one night, and I decided to take …

It’s sort of ironic that I use Country Crock honey butter because my butter of choice is Land O’ Lakes. I don’t put the honey butter in any meal I’m preparing, just on toasts and biscuits.
The thing I like about the Country Crock honey butter is that it …

I haven’t had Hamburger Helper in years and wasn’t really a fan of it when I was a kid. However, I saw that they had a brand new Hamburger Helper that you could heat in the microwave, and I thought that I should give it a try because maybe …

The Mueller’s brand has always been a must-have when it came to various pastas. I especially love their elbow macaroni because I’m always making macaroni and cheese for big Sunday dinners.
The Mueller’s elbow macaroni comes in two sizes: The regular box and the family size box. I usually buy …

When it comes to lasagna and spaghetti, I think the best bread is anything with garlic flavor. For me, it somehow enhances the flavor of the tomato sauce. I’ve tried all types of garlic bread and rolls, but I wanted to give the Pillsbury garlic butter crescent a chance …

I’m not really a biscuit fan until my mom made me try the Pillsbury Grands butter flaky biscuits. They turned out to be the opposite of most of the biscuits I’ve eaten, and the best part was that I actually ate them instead of throwing them out.
Somehow I ended …

Let’s face it, when it comes to breakfast pastries the crescent has it in the bag. There is just something about how flimsy it is and the flakiness you get when you break it in half. Pillsbury is the only brand I’ll buy when it comes to crescents and …

I’ve tried many stuffed chicken breasts, but I never had the opportunity to try the ones with the butter in them. I wasn’t sure about getting more than one box of the Barber Foods Kiev stuffed chicken breasts because not all garlic butter is good butter.
I put the chicken …

If you haven’t tried the Checkers’ cheese fries, then you’re missing out. The fries alone are the best ever, followed by McDonald’s fries. The Checkers’ fries are specially seasoned, and the nacho cheese on top just makes it a nightmare for a health fanatic.
The best thing about ordering up …

Of all the burgers I’ve had at Checkers, my favorite would definitely have to be the Big Buford. There’s something about the double-stacked burger that makes my mouth water, and I think it definitely has something to do with that famous Checkers’ seasoning.
The Big Buford is a double burger …

The Bird’s Eye Voila garlic chicken is another bag meal by Bird’s Eye that I had the opportunity to try recently. They were on sale and the garlic chicken was one of the Bird’s Eye Voila meals that I have not tried yet, so I purchased one bag.
The thing …

I must admit that when it comes to cookies, my guilty pleasure are oatmeal raisin cookies. When they are made just right, and they are fresh and chewy they are the best edible treats in the world. When I noticed that super Wal-Mart carried the brand of cookies, I …

Growing up, I remember living off butter pecan ice cream. Well, not really but during the hot summers in the South, my grandma and I would sit on the porch eating mountains of butter pecan ice cream. My grandma is no longer living, but I do make it back …

The Lawler’s cheesecake miniature variety box is a brand of cheesecake that I’m not familiar with. Purchasing the Lawler’s cheesecake miniatures variety was a complete impulse buy, but thing that truly caught my eyes were the raspberry and turtle cheesecakes–I never tasted them before. The best thing about the …

When it comes to eating ice cream cones, going to a fancy ice cream shop is never as good as buying the Nestle Drumstick original vanilla ice cream cones. You get the nice toppings with no mess or the fuss.
The box I of Drumstick’s ice cream I purchased had …

When it comes to pancakes I’m an occasional eater, but when it comes to waffles I can get them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is nothing better than a fresh waffle coming out of the oven–that’s how I like to heat mine–with pockets filled to the rim with …

I’m always looking out for new dinners from Marie Callender’s because I think the brand has the best quick dinners. I tried the cheese rice and chicken and I liked it, so I wanted to give the bigger dinners a try.
For cooking the herb roasted chicken and potatoes dinner, …

I’m a loyal customer when it comes to purchasing potato products by Ore Ida. I especially like their shredded hash browns, but I have not had the pleasure of trying their French fries. When it comes to store bought French fries, I’m not fan because the test kitchen ovens …

I love eating strawberry shortcake, and even though I don’t know how to make the cake from scratch, I do know how to substitute one for a store bought cake. My main cake of choice: Sara Lee butter pound cake. People don’t really use pound cakes for strawberry shortcake, …

The Green Giants cheese and broccoli was the second of the Green Giants vegetable bowls I purchases. I like anything with cheese smothered all over it, and the Green Giants cheese and broccoli was another food item to add to the list.
The cheese and broccoli bowls have the same …

When it involves cooking I like to incorporate vegetables into my meals, but I don’t necessarily know what type of cooking methods to use that don’t involve instruction on the back of a box. On one of my many shopping excursions, I noticed Green Giants had these little vegetable …

The Edwards Hersey’s chocolate cream pie is the second of the two Edwards’ pies I had the opportunity to taste. I knew that the Hersey’s chocolate cream pie would be good because they resemble the pies I’ve order from Burger King.
The Edwards Hersey’s chocolate cream pie came the exact …

My mom is a huge fanatic when it comes to key lime pies, which is how I was able to taste the Edwards brand of key lime pies. Usually she’ll purchase a who key lime pie, but she went for a smaller box that held two slices.
The thing I …

When I can’t get to Burger King or McDonald’s for breakfast, I’ll go to super Wal-Mart and get a bag of Ore Ida crispy crown potatoes. The crispy crown potatoes are the same ones served at Burger King, and it cooked properly, they can have the same crispiness.
The packaging …

I recently bought a bottle of McCormick’s Irish Cream for around twenty dollars. For those who are looking for a nice, cheap bottle to sip on, this bottle will certainly do the trick. It is always hard to review an article because you can never review simply for the …

Grey Goose is a type of vodka that is normally worth around thirty dollars. I understand this is a major problem for most people who care about what they spend their money on. I am not afraid to admit the fact that I am avid drinker. I like to …

To be quite honest, I’m not sure how to review Nestle Vanilla Sandwiches, and here’s why. I’ve had what I’ve always called Nestle Ice Cream Sandwiches purchased from my grocery store in 6-pack boxes. I really wasn’t that fond of them. Now years before, there …

I just recently discovered a very nice and very healthy organic baby food from Tesco supermarket. The name of it is Ella’s kitchen organic baby food and one of the best favorite my baby loves to eat a lot is the broccoli pears and peas. Although my …

The rich tea biscuits from the Tesco Value range are just as good as any more expensive brand. I bought a packet of these today which only cost me 25 pence for a generous 300g packet, which should last me a while. I noticed that Tesco do …

The Nice ‘n’ Spicy flavour of Nik Naks is the best, and Nik Naks generally are one of my favourite type of crisps. They are crisps as such, but they are a crisp type snack. They are made of corn and are puffy little, knobbly pieces of …

I tried a bag of Kolak Kure Green Chutney Flavour Maize Snacks for the first time today, but I would not buy these again. They may suit you if you have different tastebuds to me though. These come in a largeish, green and yellow 90g bag and …

These crumpets from Tesco’s own range are very good value indeed at only 79 pence for a packet of twelve. Because I like to root around on the ‘reduced price’ shelves at Tesco, I managed to get a packet today for only 40 pence so I am even …

I have enjoyed Batchelors Super Noodles since I was a kid, although I am convinced there is probably not much nutritional value to them. The other thing about them is that they are not very filling and I am sure to be hungry again an hour after having …

The Pickled Onion flavour of Mega Monster Munch is a great favourite of mine. I was really pleased when I found out a few months ago that Walkers (who now own the rights to this former Smiths snack) had decided to go back to the larger individual crisps of …

For as long I can remember, I’ve always been a fan of the Rice-A-Roni products. The rice is easy to prepare and comes in an array of flavors. I wanted to prepare a meal with pork-chops, and I thought it would be the perfect time to try out the …

When it comes to snacks, I’m not really a cheese person until my mom made me try some string cheese she had bought for herself. I didn’t know what to expect because A) it’s cheese and B) mozzarella tends to be a little salty. However, I gave in and …

When it comes to cookouts, for me, there is nothing better than a good bottle of Kraft honey barbeque sauce somewhere close to me. Even though it’s probably intended for cooking (but not limited to), I prefer to use it as a dipping sauce and for cooking.
The design of …

When it comes to condiments, nothing is better than tartar sauce. I started eating it in elementary on the “fish” days for lunch, and I have continued to eat tartar sauce throughout the years. I’m not really sure how long Kraft has been making tartar sauce, but I just …

I was never really big on dried food–and still not to be honest–until I had the opportunity to try the Philippine dried mango. I found it on a trip to super Wal-Mart which turned out to be an impulsive buy. I don’t like dried fruit, but I like mango.
The …

It takes a lot for me to eat pasta in sauce, but I actually enjoy eating the Pasta Roni garlic and olive oil vermicelli. The Pasta Roni is part of the Rice-A-Roni product line, and it has the same quality as the Rice-A-Roni.
I purchased the Pasta Roni garlic …

The Rice-A-Roni beef flavored rice is another favorite rice from the Rice-A-Roni lineup that I like to prepare. I like the beef flavored rice because it’s versatile and can pretty much go with type of meal that I’m preparing.
Because the cooking instructions differs for each flavor of rice, I …

We made Hamburgers the other night and my wife wanted me to pick up a can of baked beans on my way home to go with them.
I ended up at one of our local grocery stores; one of the more expensive ones when it comes to stuff like that. …

The other day at Lidl shop I saw FirstNice Peanut Chocolate; I like Snickers, which is also made of chocolate and peanuts so I wanted to try this chocolate too. It didn’t cost much, about 50 Euro cents so I decided to buy it, you get 100g of chocolate …

I actually picked C&H powdered sugar accidently while looking for normal granulated sugar. But after using it I now feel that C&H powdered sugar has served my purposes quite well. The good thing about C&H powdered sugar is that its is clean and pure white. I am surprised to …

I’ve been using Lyle’s golden syrup for quite a while now and I am finding this product very good especially when I am preparing pancakes at home. I usually spread it generously on top of my pancake. Before I use golden syrup I normally just had a …

These little mallow teacakes make a nice sweet snack and for an incredibly cheap price. These are from the ‘Tesco Value’ range which can be a bit hit and miss when it comes to quality, but these tea cakes are a definite hit, and for only 39 pence …

Even though I didn’t like the crispy seasoning by Bake N’ Shake, I wanted to try the barbeque seasoning because I love barbeque and the photograph on the box made it seem like it would be the best chicken. When will I learn? When will I learn?
>From the picture …

I purchased the Bake N’ Shake as another seasoning to use on my wings and pork chops. I wanted to cut off some time with choosing various seasonings to blend together to add to my meats, so I wanted to get seasoning in a box that was already prepared …

When it comes to salads, my choice of dressing is always ranch. I only had the opportunity to try French dressing when I was in fifth grade, and eating from the salad bar. I thought it was good when I was a kid, and wanted to take another shot …

I’ve never tried any of the Velveeta products before now, but I had heard how good the easy to make macaroni was, and I wanted to give it a try.
The Velveeta shells and cheese box was a little small to be making macaroni, but I didn’t worry about it …
