Marie Callender’s Breaded Chicken Parmigiana - New Recipe
New and improved: that’s a line that used to be used quite a bit by companies when they wanted to hype their product. Well, Marie Callender has been doing that lately by coming up with new recipes. I’m skeptical of such things, but I decided to try …
Peanut Butter Patty Girl Scout Cookies for 2011
So we finally picked up our girl scout cookies for 2011! I was pretty excited, because well, we only get them once a year! But I was really dissapointed this year at the cookies, they changed a lot of them, like cut back and made them smaller, therefore less …
Great Value: BBQ Flavored Potato Chips
Great Value: BBQ Flavored Potato Chips are not that great. They certainly are not as flavorful or enjoyable as the ripple cut potato chips. By that, I mean the salt flavor offered by the ripple cut potato chips is stronger than the barbecue flavor offered by these BBQ potato …
Cinnamon Flavored Twizzlers
I am a fan of Twizzler’s, so before I say this I just want it to be known that I haven nothing against their company and have enjoyed their delicious flavor when my sweet tooth is calling for me to enjoy something tasty and sweet. But the cinnamon flavored …
Mrs. Freshley’s Strawberry Fruit & Grain Cereal Bar
Mrs. Freshley’s Strawberry Fruit & Grain Cereal Bar is definitely my favorite of the three flavor varieties of cereal bars released by this company. The reason this is my favorite is because of the flavor. The strawberry flavor is quite rich and authentic. I especially find the flavor to …
Tesco Freeze Dried Chives
These chives from the Tesco range of seasonings are really rather good. A lot of people are turned off by jars of seasonings, especially dried stuff, and the rise in organic food and grow your own has no doubt turned people off this simple alternative, but don’t let that …
Bird’s Eye Voila Three Cheese Chicken
Birds Eye Voila Three Cheese Chicken is a pretty good frozen dinner for the family. Like all the Birds Eye frozen dinners in this category, Three Cheese Chicken takes only 10 minutes of heating in a skillet to prepare. My family likes Three Cheese Chicken because it is so …
Big Vinne Pizza from Round Table
The Big Vinne Pizza is back at Round Table, and I just had to a review of this great pizza. The Big Vinne is a New York style pizza and is one of the best tasting pizzas in the world. I think that this Pizza is great because of the …
Appleton Farms Thick Cut Bacon
When it comes to buying bacon, I am very particular about the type and brand I buy. I am used to buying Smithfield thick cut bacon from either Wal-Mart or Publix, but neither were having a sale at the time I wanted bacon; therefore, I ended up going to …
Reggano Brand Penne Pasta
Product Description: Box of Penne Pasta available at Aldi for around $1.
What I liked about this product: Well, obviously, if I do any shopping at Aldi, I am there because I am looking to save some money. And, this was no exception to that. The pasta was considerably cheaper …
Krusteaz Lemon Bar Mix
Krusteaz Lemon Bar Mix produces some pretty scrumptious lemon bars! The lemon flavor is intensely sweet, terrifically tangy and oh so moist! Each bite I take energies my taste buds and really sets them ablaze. This lemon flavor will definitely not go unnoticed! I also really like how soft …
Paramount Wild Alaskan Pink Salmon
Salmon is my favorite fish and I prefer to buy Paramounts Wild Alaskan Pink Salmon because it is the best tasting salmon by far. I can also buy Paramounts Wild Alaskan Pink Salmon at a great price. I usually pay just $2.29 for a 210g net tin. I also …
Kraft Amooza Twist Cheese String
Kraft Amooza Twist Cheese String has just become my daughter’s new favourite cheese snack lately. Before we saw Amooza twist’s first appearance in No Frills, we always picked Black Diamond cheese string and fun cheese, which was a bit pricy.
The first time we spotted Amooza Twist in No …
Datu Puti Soy Sauce
Spices such as garlic and onion add and bring out the flavor of the ingredients. In some Philippine cuisine, spices wouldn’t suffice; soy sauce is needed to complement the taste of the food. Our family has relied to Datu Puti Soy Sauce as far as I can remember. Since …
Diet Pepsi
I love Diet Pepsi. I think that I am addicted. The problem is they are not good for you. I don’t know if it is the carbonation, the taste or the caffeine.
The label says that there are 0 calories, …
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 …
Liking Nut Brittle with peanuts
I adore Nut Brittle but not all of them, those with peanuts are usually very good but sometimes they are too sweet and even plastic sometime.
Nut Brittles are usually made of honey, sugar, white of the egg. Some of them taste a lot like honey while the others taste …
Favorini Crispy wafer
When you like sweet stuff as much as I do people usually think that it is easy for you because you like everything that has chocolate or some kind a sweet cream in it. But it isn’t so. I like sweet but not too sweet and I like cookies …
Tesco Macaroni Cheese Dried Pasta Sachet
Although I can cook my own cheese macaroni and make the sauce from scratch, I occasionally buy one of these lazy, dried meals in a packet so I can whip up something quickly to eat when I get back from shopping. So I tried this cheese macaroni in …
Sargento - Deli Style Sliced Aged Swiss Cheese
Sargento Deli Style Sliced Aged Swiss Cheese is my favorite kind of Swiss cheese, and really, my favorite kind of cheese period. The reason I prefer the aged Swiss over the regular Swiss is because I like the sharper flavor that the aged Swiss has to offer. It really …
Mee Siam
I used not to like Mee Siam. In case you are wondering what this is, it is actually a gravy type of noodles, but the very thin strips one. Not the thick noodles like your spaghetti, though.
The gravy has to be spicy for me and in …
Welch’s Fruit Snacks in Mixed Fruit
I recently got some Welch’s Fruit Snacks to try in Mixed Fruit. They were surprisingly very tasty and very fruity. They even had vitamins in them which was very cool. I love how there are fun fruit shapes in the package to with fun colorful colors.
These fruit snacks …
Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Candies
As I mentioned in another review, the Reese’s company (part of Hershey) had such success with their yummy peanut butter cups that they’ve begun to spread their wings quite a bit. One of the first variations of their famous candy treat that they came up with is Reese’s …
Our Family Brand Toaster Pastries
Synopsis: A box of toaster pastries offered at select grocery store as a cheaper alternative to the more popular Pop Tart brand. I purchased a box of 8 pastries (four packages of 2) for $1.75.
What I liked about this brand: Well, you can’t argue with the price. When I …
Grandma Corbi’s Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough
My husbands little half brother was selling Grandma Corbi’s Homemade cookie dough as a fundraising program for their soccer team I believe it was. The rest of the cookies for sale on the fundraising sheet didn’t look very good and the Chocolate Chunk cookie dough wasn’t as expensive as …
Wylwood Green Beans
We had barbecue for dinner last night and one of the side dishes we ended up making was green beans from the brand Wylwood.
I’m familiar with this brand and have had no major complaints about it. And, once again, the brand did not disappoint.
First, there was a large quantity …
Blue Bell Coconut Fruit Bars
Like many people, I’m an ice cream fan and love to indulge every once and a while. I spotted bell blue’s coconut fruit bars, when cruising the frozen treat selection of my neighborhood grocers. It was priced at $2.99 per box or 2 for $5. I love coconut, whether …
Spectrum Organic Ground Flaxseeds
Flax seeds are the organic source of natural mucilage and most importantly they provide fiber into our bodies. One of the flaxseed whole food products I take daily are the Spectrum Organic Ground Flaxseeds because they have a great nutty taste and are slightly salted, dried and full of …
Peppermints - Milk Chocolate from See’s Candies
Just about my all time favorite treat for decades has been from See’s Candies. It’s their peppermints, primarily the milk chocolate variety. They do have a dark chocolate, but I’ve never been a dark chocolate affectionado, for some reason.
The Milk Chocolate Peppermints really do satisfy me and …
Aunt Jemima Ham and Cheese Omelet
Aunt Jemima Ham and Cheese Omelet is nothing special and in fact, I likely will not be spending money on it a second time. Why exactly did this frozen breakfast meal fail to impress me? Well, for one, the ham did not have a great deal of flavor to …
Oreo cake
Oreo are not only some delicious cookies, as there’s an Oreo cake too that you can prepare yourself at home. When I saw it in the supermarket, I decided to buy it, as an Oreo tasting cake sounds really inviting.
When I opened the box, I found that it provides …
Great Value Candy Corn
Halloween is almost here again. Well, to be honest, it’s more than a month away at the time of this article’s writing, but already I’m craving my favorite Halloween treats. Usually I’m perfectly satisfied with generic and store brands, but Great Value candy corn was a disappointment.
In …
Iceberg’s Caramel Flan Con Hielo
The heat outside really is terrible. I really wanted to have something to eat that is cold so I could cool myself off. The summer heat is really getting to me and what a nice thing to have is a good cold afternoon ice dessert!
My husband and I went …
Fairprice Sardines in Tomato Sauce
Fairprice’s Sardines in Tomato Sauce (155gm) is the house brand of Fairprice supermarket. I bought a few tins of Fairprice’s Sardines in Tomato Sauce, the 155gm tins, when there was a promotion.
I like a good bargain. In term of pricing, Fairprice’s Sardines in Tomato Sauce is a …
Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Cocktail
I have tasted a few other brands of cranberry juice but so far I think that this one is my favourite. When I first tasted it though it took me some time to actually like it especially since it wasn’t very sweet since there was no sugar added. Over …
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, …
Fruit2day Strawberry Orange
I normally do not like commercials and do not run out to buy things because I saw them on TV, but that is exactly what I did with this Fruit2day product. I did not make a special trip, but when I was at the grocery store with money …
Sumo wafer stick
Sumo wafer stick is very popular locally especially with the kids. It separates itself with its many competition in the food department with its crispy yet soft sticks. The chocolate inside has enough but not too much sugar in it that you know it’s thier but it is somewhat …
Sun Tea black currant flavored tea
I’m a fan of black currant flavored teas, and also a bargain hunter. Last month the two met up in an unfortunate mistake. I was ordering my usual brand of black currant tea (Twinings) from an online retailer and I saw that there was another brand of black currant …
Monster Energy Drink
Monster Energy is the one drink that gives you a rush of adrenaline and taste. The Drink is formulated for energy, using sugar and caffeine. It may not be the best drink for you, but it certainly works. Monster also delivers a taste to match the quality of this …
Brakebush Popcorn Chicken
My daughter loves popcorn chicken. But, it’s expensive to keep buying it from the deli so we looked for some we could make ourselves. The brand we settled on was Brakebush. And, while the Brakebush frozen popcorn chicken isn’t bad, it unfortunately didn’t work for our family.
The thing I …
Selimex Crunchy muesli with cranberry and apple
I started eating cereals a couple of years ago when I first went to college. It was the easiest and simplest thing to prepare in the morning and it was also pretty cheap. But I was eating them every morning and although I was buying many different brands and …
Presidents Choice organics fruit snacks for toddlers
One of the best things about being a mom is seeing the joy and excitement on your new baby’s face when they recognize a package or know you are going to give them a treat! Sometimes it is hard to decide what to give, and what kind of …
Grace Finest Quality Tea
My parents love drinking tea like a lot of other Jamaicans, and since things have gotten pretty hard financially, usually what they buy these days are brands like “Red Rose Tea” since those tend to be less expensive. However, when they can afford it, I normally see them try …
Nestle Pops Bite-Sized Ice Cream
I am so happy Nestle came up with a very unique Ice Cream that is not messy, easy to carry around — yet very very yummy —“ the Nestle Pops, kisses-shapes bite-sized Vanilla ice cream in chocolate coating. They come in cute red handy plastic tubs in two sizes, …
Cadburys 5 star crunchy
Five star crunchy is the name of the chocolates by the company Cadburys. Actually most of the or all the chocolates of the company Cadburys are very good and so different and good in taste. And the five star crunchy is another kind of chocolate by the …
JACQUOT Chocolate Truffles
Not being a particularly avid chocolate consumer I only discovered these venerable French bonbons (the factory, while backed by big capital now, has been in operation since 1922) only two years ago, while shopping for my aunt who IS a chocolate addict.
I’ll admit the first thing that made my notice …
