Recently I have been trying to reduce my consumption of diet soft drinks. Therefore, I have been trying flavored waters. I have found a couple that I like quite a bit, but they are more expensive than I would like for them to be. Accordingly, I …

Frozen dinners have come a long way from when I was a kid, and Marie Callender’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce with proof of that. Since I’ve always enjoyed my meals at a Marie Callender restaurant, once they began to market frozen foods, I gave them a try. …

I’ve been trying my hand at meals that are prepared without meat. One my favorite ways to carry on in with this trend is by eating lentils. They are a simple alternative, inexpensive and very healthy, and can also be prepared in a variety of ways. One day …

Hi there! Today I want to talk about a very interesting product that can be found at any grocery store. There has been a lot of fuss around it. If you google Apple cider vinegar - you’ll find thousands of posts that talk about miraculous properties of it. I’ve never …

I just found Hershey’s Cocoa Special Dark in the grocery store. I needed to restock cocoa, and had no idea that Hershey now made a Special Dark brand. I made my special cocoa the other evening, and my family agrees that Hershey’s Cocoa Special Dark is delicious! Hershey makes …

This cereal is delicious! Vanilla-flavored foods and desserts are a favorite of mine and this cereal does not disappoint when it comes to the rich vanilla flavor! The almond flavor is not to be missed either, and although I am actually not all the crazy about almonds, I do …

Edward’s Key lime pie is the best I have had since I left Florida. Key lime pie has always been my favorite, but since leaving Florida I have had many bad experiences with places using limes, instead of key limes and there is a big difference. Edward’s is sold …

Betty Crocker is a brand name that I know and trust, but they really dropped the ball with their Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
First, they are very high in sodium and they contain MSG (monosodium glutamate, which has been connected to migraine headaches and other health problems). …

My favorite place to have desert is Astoria Pastry Shop. It’s located on trendy Main Street, in Royal Oak, Michigan. The shop is small, and has a light and airy ambiance with large windows. I really like that classic feeling, and it seems to go well with the deserts. …

Do you like bagels? How about blueberries? Well, if you happened to answer “yes” to both of those questions, then I would most definitely suggest that the next time you are at the grocery store that you check out the Sara Lee: Deluxe Blueberry Bagels! I am very pleased …

Ferrero Fiesta Babarum ended up in my shopping cart because my boyfriend really likes cakes with rum so when I saw that Ferrero created a new Fiesta with rum added I just had to buy it and surprise my boyfriend. Of course, I had to taste it too although I …

This is my fourth Panini that I’m trying from Panera. They have a total of five different kinds of Panini on their Signature Hot Panini menu and I was on number four. Unlike the other Panini, which are on thick Italian breads like focaccia and ciabatta, this …

I’ve been a vegetarian for quite a while and because of that I know how many foods contain gelatin. I have learned to check the labels and ingredients lists and it’s crazy how many foods actually have gelatin hiding in them. It’s different yogurts, chewy candie, gummy bears, chocolate desserts, …

I have grown up always knowing what Oreos are. Haha, well who hasn’t?!
On the box it says “World’s Favorite Cookie”. I think that definently holds true for these delightful cookies. Ever since I was little I would always have quite an addiction for Oreos, but only when I buy …

I’ve been trying to cut down on carbs. I saw an advertisement for these (also known as Shirataki noodles) and thought I’d give it a try. I purchased them directly from the Miracle Noodle website, which was from CA to PA. The order took five days to …

I’ve always strongly associated Snickers with Milky Way candy bars. Aside from being from the Mars company, the only reason I can think of for doing so is that my mom loved both. I’m more of a Snickers person, but a good Milky Way Candy Bar is …

I have tried several OnCor frozen food products, and our family likes them all: Lasagna, Salisbury steaks, and now these “barbeque ribs.” They are not real ribs, of course, which is clearly stated on the box: they are pork patties, shaped in the form of ribs, but they taste …

One of my friends always buys these for me whenever they come over. Overall they are pretty good. They are chocolates, with caramel inside of them. Most of the time I don’t like caramel except if it is just a tiny bit of it. I do like these though. …

I really likes chocolate bananas, they are quite cheap and they are also very good. Actually this product doesn’t have real bananas in it but it is a chocolate coated foam dessert with banana flavour and it has 20g. It comes in a plastic wrapping while is yellow on …

I recently visited John’s Incredible Pizza Co. in San Diego, CA. I had never heard of such a place and I knew it had just opened its doors to San Diego county residents a couple of months ago.
First off, this is an all-you-can-eat buffet style restaurant. …

Taco Bell’s Crunchy Tacos are absolutely amazing. They have a taste that you will for sure never forget. Its so delicious and makes my mouth water just thinking about them. Its a taco shell combined with delicious meat, creamy cheese and letuce. I defenitely recommend everyone trying this product. …

Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Broccoli and Beef is a meal that I found to be fairly satisfying in flavor and quite filling as well. What I like about this meal is the beef that is used is both tender and flavorful, so it is quite easy to enjoy. This …

I must say, compared to the double chocolate and Oreo varieties, this Jell-o No Bake Desserts - Peanut Butter Cup really turned out to be quite the disappointment, even more so than the no-bake cheesecake varieties. The reason I found this product to be disappointing is because there was …

Kroger Value Pancake Syrup is not the richest and not the thickest pancake and waffle syrup that I have ever placed on my pancakes or waffles, but I still find it to be an enjoyable syrup that enhances my satisfaction of eating pancakes and waffles or when I dip …

Chocolate Nesquik is a power that is put into milk to turn it into chocolate milk (a VERY innoviative name). There are other flavours apart from chocolate (such as strawberry, banana, caramel and honey comb), but chocolate is my favourite.
One criticism is that chocolate nesquik is high in sugar, …

So, I was introduced to this product by my older sister, who came over to dinner. She bought over this little bottle called Figaro: Hickory Liquid smoke and barbecue. I had never previously heard of such of thing as ’smoke’ in a bottle. I thought who ever made this …

Cheese is my weakness and has been for as long as I can remember. I am guilty of stocking up on different kinds of cheese, usually in the form of string cheese for snacking purposes. Which is how I came to try Kraft Tomato Basil String Cheese Snacks. My …

I love Doritos Nacho Cheese potato chips and these are certainly one of my most favorite brands of potato chips. The price of Doritos Nacho Cheese vary depending on the store but I normally pay 40 cents for a small bag and about 3 dollars for the large …

Stouffer’s Sausage French Bread Pizza is not that hot. For one thing, the sausage looks like small pebbles. I do not like sausage that is cut up into super small pieces and then sprinkled on top of the pizza. That is not how I like my sausage pizza. I …

I was looking forward to trying the Tai Pei meals, they certainly looked great in the supermarket! I’d hoped to have a nice tasty entree stashed away in the fridge for those nights you don’t want to cook, but want something with a little …

My wife made an early Thanksgiving dinner last night (she wanted to have one at home before we had the real one at my parents) and one of the things she made to go with it was frozen green beans from the brand Food Club.
They were OK but not …

I am concerned about keeping my family healthy, as are most mothers. I have been pleased at the deluge of more healthful items available in the regular grocery stores as of late. In particular, I have been very happy with Kellogg’s new organic Rice Krispies and Frosted Mini-Wheat’s cereals.
In …

There are so many varieties of American candies on the market why venture out into the unknown world of foreign offerings? There are, however, many reasons! In my experience American candy is often extremely sweet and dense, making it difficult to eat even a single bar without needing to …

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 …

When I visited the USA I always used to buy my favourite vanilla ice cream there because they never used to import it yet (they do now) plus I can make ice cream that matches that particular brand. Anyway, on to ice cream sauces. There are always a variety …

Morning Star Farms Meal Starters Chik’N Strips are fabulous! Yes, I know it’s not real chicken but you won’t even be able to tell, honest. At first, I thought a chicken substitute couldn’t possibly be any good but I have changed my mind.
I buy an eight ounce …

With the autoimmune disease I have I tend to lack energy and when I like energy, my immune system becomes weaker. One of the ways I help keep my energy levels up and my immune system healthy is with the Natures Plus Chocolate Spirutein Shake. I love this shake …

In my lifetime, I’ve tried a variety of cake mixes, and I suppose that at various times, different brands have been my favorite. Lately, I’ve been purchasing Betty Crocker Super Moist Milk Chocolate Cake Mix off and on.
For one thing, Betty Crocker is an industry leader. There’s …

I don’t like most donuts made out here, and one of these brand of donuts are Pastry Castle donuts. I usually see people selling a box of Pastry Castle donuts that contains 8 different donuts. I can’t exactly remember all of the flavours of donuts that are usually in …

This week all Despar brand products were on discount at Despar discount. I get their pamphlet at home every 2 weeks when they change the stuff that’s on discount and this week I saw that you could get 2 Despar products for the price of one. I was most …

I’ve been a coffee drinker for several years now. Typically, I used to drink Walmart brand, or Great Value brand coffee. It is very affordable and has a decent taste. However, just a couple of weeks ago I discovered a new favorite kind of coffee that I now drink …

Wendy’s - Crispy Chicken Deluxe is a chicken sandwich that I find to be quite enjoyable. The reason that I find the chicken sandwich to be real enjoyable is because there are a lot of toppings on this sandwich that help to give it an expansive and tasty flavor. …

I have to admit that I don’t like cherry flavored things, and I really don’t like dark chocolate, especially cheap dark chocolate. Cheap dark chocolate tends to taste really bitter and kind of off, as if it is spoiled. I decided that I wanted to try these candy bars …

I started to love eating chips and junk foods when I worked as a full time call center agent. My work required me to stay awake at night, yes we work during graveyard shift. I don’t smoke, so I prefer to sip a coffee or to eat chips whenever …

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 …

McVities Mini Cheddars have always been one of my favourite snacks. They are small (about 1 inch in diameter) round biscuits that are kind of like crackers that have been infused with cheese and so they are really tasty if you like crackers and cheese anyway. They …

While I like getting my pizzas from Papa Murphy’s here in Beaver Dam, I have to say I’m not a huge fan of their vegetarian pizza.
Maybe it’s the fact I usually prefer to have some meat on pizzas; whether it’s sausage or pepperoni. And, of course, the vegetarian pizza …

I love to cook and I don’t mind admitting I use a few shortcuts.
Here’s one of the best–one of the essentials, in my kitchen. Vigo Italian style breadcrumbs with romano cheese. This stuff saves me so much time and trouble, and makes my foods fantastic. There are so many …

I spotted these potato —˜farls’ in Tesco at a reduced price of only 20p, reduced from the usual price of 81p. I have never eaten a farl before but I like trying new food and these sounded tempting as on the wrapper it says they are great toasted …
