I dehydrate so easily, that I need to have water with me most of the time. I drink it in the bottled water one buys at the store, as most of we bottled water drinkers do. I have discovered that by buying Select Bottled Water, Safeway’s own brand, I …

I first found out about Toblerone from an Irish friend of mine. I’ve seen the chocolate bars in stores before but I’ve never tried them because I really wasn’t sure what it was or if it would taste any good. After my Irish friend bragged about how yummy it …

The Asian Noodle Stir Fry is not one of my favorite dishes by Amy’s Meals. The portion is to small and it does not fill me up. To me this makes it a bad meal because it is 300 calories. I do not like that because I would …

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 …

I feel so lucky to live in an apartment building where there is a Filipino store on the first floor. Being a Filipino who of course can only like Filipino goodies, I find it so convenient. Besides, this store is famous throughout the Canadian province of British …

I did not like this cereal at all because it is just way too sweet and the strawberry flavor is so incredibly artificial that it is terrible! The strawberry flavor is really nothing at all like the taste that a real strawberry has. I was very disappointed by this …

For me, nothing beats a real milk shake that you get at a restaurant. Next to that is a refreshing glass of Crystal chocolate milk. Some companies now also make these single serve chocolate drinks, which they call milk shakes, and sell them at the stores. For …

I really do love chocolate milk and I miss having it, but the only really good chocolate milk I’ve had is produced by Crystal and to get that, I have to make a special trip to a convenience store. I try, but I just can’t get there like …

This is great pasta from Tesco’s own brand because it is so easy to cook and it just refuses to get stuck together. I am not a patient cook and sometimes I even forget to stir my pasta as I get involved in something else, but I have …

There was once a time when Doritos, Ruffles, and Pringles ruled my snacking and/or lunching experience. But over time, I began to be drawn to more natural flavors and textures. Suddenly chips with too much salt or seasoning weren’t that appealing to me. I think the …

To be honest, I rarely purchase brownie mixes anymore because I tend to get a product that I like better and is simpler to prepare; but when I do buy a mix, it’s usually Betty Crocker Supreme Original Brownie Mix. This is a product that came out many …

I first saw Lindt Lindor Dark Chocolate Truffles when I had went on vacation to the USA, in one of the grocery stores my grandparents like to shop at. I had first seen the milk chocolate vairety of these truffles because of the package colour.
Lindt Lindor Dark Chocolate …

Moxie is a soda that has been around since 1884. I had heard of it previously on the travel network as well as the CBS Sunday Morning show. On a recent trip to New Hampshire I decided I was going to try Moxie. Since I almost always drink diet …

This item is a somewhat unique take on chili, substituting chicken for the ground beef. I have always liked chicken chili, so when I saw it in the store I picked it up.
I was expecting this chili to be a little different than it was. I was thinking the …

Though I know that chips are not the healthiest snack, I tend to have them all of the time. I love trying different types of chips, but have a special liking for only a few. One chip that I really enjoy eating is the Doritos Salsa Verde tortilla chips. …

This is a garlic spread that is made in-store at Kroger grocery stores, so it’s not sold at any other store. A twelve-ounce tub of this garlic spread runs for around two dollars and fifty-cents, which is a fair price I feel considering the quality of the spread and …

Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Pancakes are alright as far as frozen pancakes go. When I am heating a couple up in the microwave, they do give off a pleasant smell, and when I sit down to eat them, they do taste okay. The quality certainly is not very high as …

I have always enjoyed the Carte Noire instant coffee so I tried the filter coffee which can also be used in cafetieres. I use a rounded tablespoon (dessert spoon) of coffee for each cup for the right strength for me, which is a good, strong cup. Just …

I love naan bread with Indian food. Indian dishes are often very saucy, and these are great for scooping up every last bit of the sauce. At the restaurants, the texture is soft slightly chewy and airy almost like a warm, oily version of white pita bread. Garlic naan …

Legacy Bakehouse Mix—˜n More Original Recipe Snack Mix is my second favorite of the snack mixes available from Legacy Bakehouse, ahead of the buffalo variety but behind the garlic variety. This is the original recipe variety, so there is no “main” or “primary” flavor that coats each and every …

This is really the only juice product put out by the Florida’s Natural company that I didn’t care for very much. The reason I was somewhat disappointed with this fruit juice is because I simply couldn’t taste hardly any mango in the juice. It was almost like I was …

If you ever run across this brand of pancake mix in your local discount grocery, don’t be afraid to buy it. It’s great!! The pancakes come out light and fluffy and there are just so many ways you can change them up to keep from having the …

Kroger Cinnamon Rolls with Icing is a store brand product sold only at Kroger stores. The product retails for one dollar and fifty cents and makes eight cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls resemble the Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with Icing, although they aren’t as flat. The store brand cinnamon rolls …

Pee Wee barbecue flavored chips are one of my all time favorite. They have been in production for quite some time now i think for over 25 years now since i fervently remember eating them when i was still a very young child. Although the company has now grown …

It is a real shame that these Sara Lee: Onion Deluxe Bagels are not as delicious as the Sara Lee Deluxe Blueberry Bagels. I guess my expectations were set pretty high after I discovered that Sara Lee makes about the best blueberry bagels that I have tasted, and so, …

I love eating Subway and recently they added a special to their usual menu. You can add a drink and snack if you pat a certain amount of extra cash. I thought over the deal and it sounded like a good one to me. This deal is what lead …

I have bought these Options instant hot chocolate drink sachets when I have been dieting as they are very, very low in calories at only 34 in every drink. But when I am not trying to lose weight, I would rather get a different brand as these Options …

I am a perpetual dieter and a person who loves to eat out. When they advertise healthier, low calorie meals at restaurants, I am one of the first to try them out. Recently I’d seen several ads for Applebee’s new menu items that had 550 calories or less, and …

Hershey’s line of products are yummy goodies, I have to say! Few days ago, I have satisfied the sweet-toothed side of me. The chocolates are courtesy of our managers right from the States. We have our discussion in the pantry and it ended with free chocolates and chips in …

I much prefer chocolate milk over plain milk. I simply think that the fusion of chocolate and milk is a far more delectable and delicious one than simple white milk. Plain milk may go better with some cereals, but when it comes to just enjoying a cold glass of …

A lot of my friends have a soft spot for Angel Delight as we are all the same age and remember it from our childhoods. I had not eaten any since the late 1980s but I recently treated myself to some. Angel Delight is no gourmet mousse …

I like Eckrich Hard Salami better than regular, I think it has a more distinct taste. This salami works great for sandwiches, or, each piece cut in four, fits nicely on crackers, making a good appetizer (secret tip: put just a little butter in between). I personally prefer using …

Who doesn’t love Chicken Marinara? That’s only if you’re not of this earth. Who doesn’t the combination of fried chicken breast with meaty spaghetti swimming in savory marinara sauce? It also seems like a travesty to “healthify” this satisfying dish but Healthy Choice has dared to …

My new favorite snack to chow down when I get hungry is the Kashi TLC Dark Chocolate Whole Grain Bars. They are filling, tasty, and made with nourishing ingredients that actually help nourish my body from the inside out, which I like. I even like that, there are no …

Being on the right track when dieting is hard, let alone be focused on how you can stick to your plans of losing weight. There are many ways to be healthy and i have found that eating/drinking a glass of Nesvita Cereal Drink everyday helps me a lot. Breakfast …

I found myself wandering the snack aisle at Wal-Marts yesterday and marveled at all the new choices of snack cakes and treats. Since I often pack a few items in my son’s backpack and he always ignores anything I consider healthy, I figured I budge a little …

These Crisps have been out for years and as long as I can remember. I hadn’t ate them for such a long time until recently and I tend to have the odd bag every other day. I think what I like about these is that Calorie wise they aren’t …

Recently I tried this amazing and easy to follow recipe for oatmeal (Crème Brulee Oatmeal from Crockpot Favorite Slow Cooker Recipes), that has no doubt changed the way that I will eat oatmeal. Now, this recipe is for the crock pot, but it can easily be cooked as well …

I was unfortunately “lucky” enough to try out the new hip burger joint in town, “Smashburger”. I have heard about the place before from friends who lived elsewhere about how great the burgers are and how the prices are definitely reasonable for the amount of food you get. I …

Although I’m not a big fan of fruit with chocolate, I decided to try this chocolate bar on a whim when it was on sale. Raspberries seemed like a good combination for chocolate, and I love dark chocolate; this combination is really delicious, and I was really happy with …

Again, I was out shopping for snacks for my daughter’s kindergarten class and ended up picking up the cheapest snacks I could find. One of those snacks happened to be Food Club Graham Crackers.
I have already commented about the snack crackers from this brand, which I wasn’t impressed with. …

I was curious how vegan restaurants started to sprout all across the Metro. I found Healthy Kitchen because their Boca burger is included in the 10 “Must-Try” veggie burgers in Manila and was hailed by PETA as the best tasting veggie burger in their Golden Buns Awards. Sounds interesting …

First Of all, I want people to know I almost never buy anything instant. I hate the type of food that you just plop in the microwave and basically reheat. Which is why I surprised myself when, while I was food shopping I decided to buy …

I was a vegetarian for a good few years before I realised how valuable red lentils could be to me. Lentils somehow never sounded very nice and anyway I did not want to be a lentil-eating hippie like Neil from The Young Ones. The other thing that …

I consider myself to be somewhat of a soda aficionado (or as close as one can be without incurring a severe case of type 3 diabetes) and I was somewhat skeptical when I first tried the Stars and Stripes line of sodas. Usually cost effective sugar water meant …

Hot chocolate is favorite beverage of mine. It’s classic, rich and delicious, warms the insides and gives a sense of comfort. I have never tired of the sweet treat, and at times, like to treat myself to it every now and then. I generally like to make my …

If you have not tried Hershey’s Hugs yet, you definitely should! They are a branch off from the standard Hershey’s Kisses, only it’s regular milk chocolate “hugged” in white chocolate. What a way to dress up a regular Hershey’s Kiss! These are much better, and they …

I remember ramen from my college days. Even now if I want to save money on groceries I will pick some up for a quick and inexpensive meal. I know it’s not high-quality food, but I do really like ramen for the taste and the ease with which I …

It’s breakfast time once again! And once again, I have an old favorite brand “returning to the ring” with a new flavor on toast– Cooper Farms Fig Preserves. But, how is it? Is it up to the spreadable snuff? As always, you guys know I’m going to find out!
In …
