Kona Longboard Ale
Hey, I do not know if they sell this beer on the mainland or not, but you have got to try it when you’re in town. It is really far out! The flavor is out of this world, especially when you drink it at Chili’s Restaurant straight …
Muddy Waters Cross Roads coffee
When it comes to coffee there is only one type I drink any more. That brand is Muddy Waters Crossroads. It simply has everything going for it and tastes quite unlike anything I have ever tried.
Crossroads is a dark roast, organic coffee that sells for approximately $10 …
Shur Fine Buttery Syrup 24 ounce bottle
We love to have the occasional homemade pancake or waffle in my house, while these are a treat for us we have found that we must have syrup to go on them. Before a trip to the grocery store one day my husband expressed an interest in pancakes, but …
Options Luscious Latte
I love the orange and mint flavored hot chocolate drinks from the Options range so I tried this from their new range of instant coffee drinks. There was a choice of Luscious Latte, Melting Mocha and Dreamy Cappuccino so I chose the latte. It was a mere …
Marks and Spencer Thin and Crispy Pizzas
My favourite style of pizza is thin and crispy and until I discovered the lovely thin and crispy Marks & Spencer pizzas, I could not really find a brand that I liked. The ones I get usually range in price from £3 to £4 which is good considering …
Lao Zhong Zhong Ngo Hiang
100% Hand-made, this is one of the reasons why I like to patronize this stall. According to this stall owner, he refused to buy from suppliers, aside from the poorer quality, the fact that most of the Ngor Hiang that you eat is the Hokkien(dialect) style Ngor Hiang.The owner is …
Quorn Beef Style Burgers
Truth is, I only buy them because they are one pound for two burgers. Thats 22 grams of protein for one pound, cheaper than a couple of cans of tuna. I microwave them in two minutes and serve wedged in a pitta burger.
Quorn is microprotein, made of a type …
Steak McSkillet Burrito
I’m a big fan of the McSkillet burrito from McDonald’s and when I heard they were making one using steak, I knew it was something I had to try. The steak is the same that they use on their other breakfast sandwiches and I’ve eaten those without a problem …
Applebee’s BBQ Pork Sliders
When I was in Florida, I had the privilege of tasting some really good BBQ pork sandwiches. After all, in Miami, they know what good pork should taste like. I can’t say the same for Applebee’s; they definite lack the concept of how to make a proper …
Fantastic Delites, Sweet Chilli and Sour Cream
I had to rush out and buy this packet of Fantastic Delites today when I went grocery shopping. I first tried these deliecious rice snacks when I hired the movie Juno the other night from Blockbuster. They had a special promotion hire the movie and receive a free packet …
Weight Watchers Smart Ones Spaghetti with Meat Sauce Frozen Dinner
If there’s one thing I personally have a weakness for, it’s spaghetti with meat sauce. I’ve always loved this classic dish and I love trying new versions of it. In this frozen dinner, it’s paired with lots of flavorful ingredients including onions and flavorful, meaty mushrooms. I am a …
Flamin’ Hot Funyuns 6 1/2 oz bag
I love the Flamin Hot brand by Lays. The Flamin Hot Funyuns are so very delicious! I have always loved Funyuns as a child and now as an adult. And now they have combined my favourite chips with the Flamin Hot brand and flavour. I do …
The Mars Bar
This is one of my favourites. It’s the Mars Bar. It must be about the most filling, sweet, gooey sweet on the market and people can’t get enough of it.
The Mars advertisements on British TV were famous: “A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play.” Of …
Now Foods Better Stevia Liquid Sweetener
For the past few decades major food companies have been coming up with the new calorie-free sugar substitutes. Thanks to them, now we are all familiar with such words as erythritol,maltodextrin, dextrose, saccharin, aspartame and Sucralose. However, certain studies have linked these long scary names to the development of cancerous …
O’boy Original chocolate drink mix
Even though the Halloween season isn’t over yet, I’m already feeling the Christmas vibe (mainly because it’s already snowing here in Russia). The hot chocolate and cookies season is officially opened in our house, so every evening our apartment smells like spices and chocolate. I usually make my own hot …
Manning’s Cookie Shop Maple Leaf Creme Cookies
I purchased these cookies from the “Dollar Tree” because I like maple-flavored foods. I knew that I was purchasing a cookie that would be sweet, but I had no idea that these cookies would be so ridiculously sweet! These cookies are like pure sugar and that isn’t a good …
Del Monthe Fruit Chillers Strawberry Snow Storm Tubes
I absolutely love the Fruit Chillers product line made by Del Monte! Fruit Chillers are especially delicious in the summer time, when the temperatures outside are pushing one-hundred degrees. I just stick one of these tubes in the freezer before I go to sleep at night, and the next …
Cascadian Farm Sweet and Salty Peanut Pretzel Chewy Granola bars
Cascadian Farm is one of those brands that offers organic foods. I’ve come to discover them in recent years when going to stores like whole food and changing up my eating patterns. They are a bit pricy but well worth every penny. I had an opportunity to …
Settembrini cookies (Mulino bianco)
Possibly the best cookies from Mulino bianco, the line of baked goods made by Barilla, the famous Italian company —“ and that’s saying something¨!
True to their name, these “September cookies” contain a surprisingly high amount of delicious, moist and not overly sweet fig filling, sitting at the heart of a …
Cryastal Light
I surprised myself recently when I tried a glass of Cryastal Light. It did not taste at all like any kind of diet drink I have ever tasted in the past! It was not only quiet refreshing, but it had tang and zest to it. I …
Michelina’s Sausage, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Snackers
Michelina’s Sausage, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Snackers certainly had the potential to a quality breakfast food, but unfortunately the Snackers, as they’re called, suffer from poorly flavored and mushy sausage that just isn’t appetizing. I’ve had Michelina’s Gravy and Sausage Breakfast Snackers in the past, and with that breakfast …
Welch’s Sparkling Grape Soda
Recently I did a review for Welch’s Strawberry Soda. I mentioned there that years ago there was a really delicious Strawberry Crush, that I rarely find now and I’m not even sure it’s still made. I had purchased the Welch’s to see how it compared. Honestly, …
Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt - Raspberry and Apple
I read somewhere that yogurt is great because it has live lactobacilli which is beneficial for our stomachs. Also, since I am lactose-intolerant, I would benefit greatly from eating yogurt as compared to drinking milk because this has a lower amount of lactose that is needed to digest. I …
Folgers Coffee Singles Classic Roast Coffee Bags
I stumbled across a box of Folgers Coffee Singles Classic Roast Coffee Bags, one evening when browsing for a completely different product entirely. I previously had no intentions of purchasing any coffee, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have more on hand.
Previously I had never heard of …
Luigi’s Real Italian Ice Lemon
Of all the varieties of Italian Ice put out by Luigi’s Italian Ice, the lemon-flavored Italian Ice is my favorite. Six cups come in a package and they’re all lemon-flavored for two dollars and fifty cents. This is my favorite way to experience the flavor of lemon: ice cold …
Bel Air’s Capitol Sandwich
Bel Air’s Capitol Sandwich had some good and bad points to it. This is one of the chain’s products that is available in their deli department, and I was looking forward to because of the ingredients.
However, right off the bat, I was really turned off because the bun …
Foska Oats Value Pack
I have always hated oatmeal or oats porridge as it is known more commonly here with a passion. However, despite the fact that I do, my parents have always bought Foska Oats every month for years ever since I was a little girl since they believe that its very …
Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Marshmallow Puffs
Here is yet another rather uninspired and copied snack treat from the Little Debbie Stars & Stripes Marshmallow Puffs Independence Day line. Little Debbie sure likes to take treats that they already have and sell, re-package and re-decorate them while modifying some very small element and then selling them …
Zvijezda Ketchup Hot
This is a first Croatian ketchup that I really like, most of them were just too sweet or didn’t even look nor tasted like ketchup but this one really does. It comes in a plastic red bottle with a flat cap so that you can turn it upside down …
Oscar Meyers Selects: Rotisserie Chicken Breast Lunch Meat
Oscar Meyer is that brand many affectionately know for their lunch meat, lunchables and hot dogs. I’ve come to try their brand of cold cut lunch meat. Instead of getting my usual slow roasted turkey, I decided to give the Selects Rotisserie Chicken breast, lunch meat a try.
What I …
El Monterey Tornados - Snack Food
Tornados are a unique snack food by Ruiz Foods. These snacks consist of a seasoned crust wrapped around a delicious filling. I first tried them because they appeared on my favorite NASCAR driver’s (Ryan Newman) car. I had no idea what Tornados were, so I paid attention …
Jack-N-the-Box Taco
The closest Jack-N-the-Box restaurant to me in Ohio is a few states east, so when I get the chance to have it, I always jump at the opportunity. Recently I had the chance to try their tacos and I’m still a little undecided on them. I’m used to the …
Russell Stover Candies Peanut Butter Egg
The Russell Stover Candies Peanut Butter Egg is one of the latest holiday treats that I decided to take a chance on upon my last trip to the grocery store. I tend to trust the Russell Stover brand. This particular treat is some tasty peanut butter covered …

Greenwich’s Meat and Cheese Overload Pizza
I can survive a whole week eating pizza alone, that is how much I love pizza. I go loco when I see a pizza with different kinds of meat and an overwhelming amount of mozarella cheese. Thus when I passed by a Greenwich pizza store one day, my eyes …
Twix Chocolate Caramel Cookie Bars

KFC’s New Grilled Chicken
After seeing the commercial for KFC’s new grilled chicken for the first time, I was intrigued. While I’ve always favored fried chicken over grilled, I’ve recently been trying to eat a little bit healthier to possibly shed a few pounds and get back into shape. However, I had heard …
Banquet Fried Chicken TV Dinner
I bought a couple of Banquet fired chicken tv dinners at the store because they were on sale. They cost 25 cents more than the other varieties of tv dinner they offer, but I can’t figure out why as they has the same caliber of food inside and roughly …
Prego Heart Smart Traditional Italian Tomato Sauce
I was clearing up the pantry the other day, and I saw the Prego Heart Smart Traditional Italian Tomato Sauce. As it was already nearing expiry date, I decided to cook a Sunday meal for my family using it. I don’t usually cook, but pasta seemed very …
Smucker’s Concord Grape Jam
Smucker’s Concord Grape Jam is certainly a rich and flavorful jam, although I personally prefer the grape jelly simply because I like a smooth and filtered spread as opposed to a thick jam spread. Nonetheless, this jam has a pretty potent grape flavor that will certainly appeal to those …
Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey
I went to Bo’s Coffee one morning after enduring a particularly long queue in the bank. Since I already had three cups of coffee, two extra strong ones and a cup of cold coffee, I bought Bo’s Coffee’s Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey (although of course I …
Fiddle Faddle: Butter Toffee
I often buy a few boxes of Fiddle Faddle from my local Dollar General. I get the blue boxes, the butter toffee flavor. Each box weighs six ounces and has 0 grams of trans fat. The popcorn snack comes sealed inside a foil pouch, so the treat is always …
Squeezed for you Calamansi Extract
The last time I commented on the same kind of product but of different brand, I had to be really mean because I have nothing good to say about the product except that it was cheap. Well, computing and thinking about it, this product is also cheap because it …
Jell-o Pudding - Chocolate Vanilla Swirl
Jell-o Pudding - Chocolate Vanilla Swirl is quite a tasty treat to have! Although I would have preferred a little more vanilla in this pudding, the chocolate vanilla combination flavor is nonetheless a delicious one that I never seem to get tired of, really. There does seem to be …

Lean Cuisine Lemon Pepper Fish Frozen Entree
Lemon pepper fish is a classic in my opinion. I loved that I was able to find a frozen entrée version of it so that I could have it whenever I wanted without having to prepare it!
However, I discovered that this frozen entree a little bit disappointing. It’s …
Pop Weaver Microwave Popcorn with Butter
In my home popcorn has always been a preferred snack. I love orville Redenbacher’s but wanted to try something different. I purchased the Pop Weaver brand popcorn with butter. I don’t know if the quality of this popcorn is just not up to par, or if it sat on …
