Rechek’s Food Pride Country Style Pork Ribs
It was a halfway decent day out yesterday, with the temperatures in the 60s for the first time in a couple of weeks. Since it was likely one of the last days we will have like that before winter, I took full advantage and decided to fire up our …
Kool-Aid Sharkleberry Fin Artificial Flavour Punch drink mix
I am not really a fan of the Kool-Aid brand of artificial drink, but I sometimes buy it because it is cheap and when I can’t afford to buy another much better brand of even natural juice. I also can’t say whether or not I have a favourite flavour …
Alpro plain yogurt alternative with almond
Hey there! I used to explain why I eat vegan products in every intro of my review, but that’s not gonna happen anymore. I’m just gonna say that I’m not a vegan, so I remember very well how the dairy tastes, meaning that I can give an objective assessment to …
Market Pantry Frosty Chewy Granola Bars
While at Target recently, I noticed a type of granola bar that I couldn’t recall having come across before. It had white chocolate chunks mixed in with the granola and that sounded pretty tasty, to me! For one dollar and ninety nine cents, I decided to pick up a …
Yoplait
This is by far the grossest yogurt drink ever made which surprises me because yoplait for adults yogurt is delicious and quite healthy. I purchased a 6 pack of this yogurt drink in strawberry flavor because it has Dora the explorer on the bottles, and what kid does …
Fruit Salsa
I stumbled upon a fruit salsa recipe a couple of months ago and made it at my daughter’s first birthday party. I was impressed with the amount of compliments I received, it really went over as a hit. I made a couple of …
Beechworth Pure Yummy Honey
Beechworth Pure Yummy Honey is a brand of honey that can be bought in any food stores, or even some convenient stores. It is an Australian honey that is also 100% pure. It comes in a 500g sized plastic container with a yellow lid.
First of all, I really like …
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 …
McDonald’s McSkillet Burrito
We had been hearing all the commercials about the McDonald’s McSkillet Burrito and seen where they talked about it on a couple of morning news programs, as nutrition experts decried how many calories and grams of fat this breakfast item had. Of course, this piqued our curiosity. …
Ghiradelli Chocolate Premium Hot Cocoa
My favorite hot cocoa mix to use to make chocolaty hot chocolate is the Ghiradelli Chocolate Premium Hot Cocoa in Double Chocolate. I like this hot cocoa mix because it is made from pure cocoa, sugar cane, and vanilla beans. I like that there are not any unnatural ingredients …
Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante
Who doesn’t love champagne? This is the best I have ever tasted by far. My mom requested it for New Year’s Eve this year and I liked it so much I bought more for the inauguration (can you tell we were happy with who won?). It’s …
Jack n Jill Potato Chips
It must have been months since I have eaten a junk food. I know pizzas, and stuffs related to it are sort of a junk food themselves, no but I meant to say chips right out of a foil pack - that is what I meant with junk foods. …
Ersao Taiwanese Cafe
Ersao started as a food stall which serves pearl shakes and snacks such as spicy chicken/squid. Now, it has expanded into serving other food stuffs such as noodles, dumplings, and other Taiwanese fares. However, it is still really more known as a drinks place rather than a …
Sea Salt and Balsamic Vinegar Kettle Chips
I love Kettle Chips, they are just so crunchy and whatever flavour you have the rich taste of the potato also comes through. I have tried most of the flavours on offer and they are all good, and they all taste a bit special; - a high quality …
Taco Bell Fiesta Steak Bowl: TV dinner
Fiesta Steak Bowlz —“ Taco bell TV dinner’s are a real rip off. When I saw these on the grocery store I had high hopes. Now I know that these are just glorified and over priced TV dinners that use a brand name to make more sales. I bought …
Yoplait Key Lime Pie
Yoplait Key Lime Pie is not among my favorites when it comes to yogurt and I seldom purchase this flavor variety because I simply do not think the lime flavor is as rich as it could be and thus I do not enjoy it as much as I could …
Thomas’ English Muffins
I love to eat Thomas’ English Muffins. These things are just delightful. I love to eat every nook and cranny with butter on top. The great thing about these muffins is you can eat them many different ways.
I like to eat mine toasted with butter on top. I also …
Kroger Wheat Bread
I like to eat sandwiches for lunch qute a bit, and I have recentlystarted making them on Kroger wheat bread. this is a really a pretty nice bread, especially for the cst. traditionally I tend to shy away from store brand breads, something engrained in me said they were …
Big Red Gum
We don’t need to introduce Big Red Gum as we can find it on every checkout line. There is nothing better than a piece of Big Red Gum on a hot summer afternoon. Big Red Gum has become notorious with that bold cinnamon flavor.
I love Big Red Gum because …
Great Value Fudge Striped Shortbread Cookies
Great Value Fudge Striped Shortbread Cookies are sold in a clear plastic box that is placed inside plastic wrapping. Each cookie has chocolate fudge on it: one side is covered completely, and the other has several thin stripes. The cookies themselves are not very thick, either. When it comes …
Campbell’s Chunky Soup
Campbell’s Chunky Soups are great. They are great for many reasons. To start off with they are absolutely delicious! The taste is exceptional over other soups that I have tried. They really put a lot of great ingredients in their soups, there are many big chunky pieces of …
Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Toasted Rice Cereal
Rice Krispies are a classic cereal. I eat them sometimes when I go to a restaurant for breakfast and I only feel like eating cereal. Most restaurants carry them, probably because Rice Krispies have been around for so many years, so they are like a standard cereal choice (along …
Thomas’: Blueberry Pre-Sliced Bagels
I was disappointed with Thomas’: Blueberry Pre-Sliced Bagels for one very simple reason: the bagels did not have a sufficient number of blueberries to satisfy my expectations. More is generally better, and in the case of these bagels, more would have resulted in a better, more enjoyable experience that …
Stouffer’s Grilled Chicken Teriyaki
Stouffer’s Grilled Chicken Teriyaki is not bad. Not bad at all. The grilled chicken most definitely has an exceptional flavor to it, plus, the grilled chicken is quite tender, as well. Along with the chicken, there is white rice. Unfortunately, the white rice has little flavor, really, but what …
Target’s Archer Farms Finely Ground Espresso
I’ve never bought my own espresso before, so this was my first attempt purchasing espresso for my cappuccino maker. I’m really not a fan of Starbucks beans after working there, so I was avoiding Starbucks espresso. The Archer Farms espresso proved to be an excellent alternative for a good …
Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Hot Cereal
To this day, I love Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Hot Cereal. I have a lot of sentimental attachment to this food. As a young girl, this is something my father used to make for me before going to school, and when I got my first job, he …
Little Bites Blueberry Muffins
It is a shame that the Little Bites Blueberry Muffins are not slightly more moist and fresh as well as rich in blueberry flavor as the Little Debbie variety because these little muffins are quite the ideal size for snacking while on the go! The size is perfect, but …
Creme de Pirouline Artisan Rolled Wafers Chocolate Hazelnut
This European rolled wafers with chocolate hazelnut filling tastes so good. The chocolate is evenly distributed that you really can taste it in each bite. The wafers are perfectly made. It looks like the thin sheets of wafers were rolled to form a stick, making it a bit thick …
CHIP SHOTS: MARGARITA AND SALT CHIPS
These were without a doubt one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever ate in my life. I’m a twenty something woman who knows how great an icy cold margarita can be after a hard day. I’ve also been known to do a few tequila shots with my friends …
Ritz Crackerfuls Four Cheese
I prefer the Ritz Crackerfuls Four Cheese variety to the cheddar variety because I think this version of the cracker has a tastier cheese flavor. There are four cheese flavors that I can make out: Parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella and cream cheese. All of the cheeses come together to make …
Butterfinger Candy Eggs
I really love the Butterfingers candy bars, even though the crunchy parts tend to get caught in my teeth. I don’t get them a lot, but every now and then I get a craving for one. For Easter Nestle decided to make Butterfingers in a small egg shape.
I …
Tesco Swirly Chocolate Cheesecake Dessert
I am not too keen on the Tesco Swirly Chocolate Cheesecake as it is basically too sweet for me and seems less like cheesecake and more like a vanilla and chocolate mousse on top of a sweet, crumbly biscuit. Apart from the fact that I did not like …
Mrs. Freshley’s Cremey Curl Honey Bun
I must say, Mrs. Freshley’s Cremey Curl Honey Bun is certainly an interesting variety that I did not think existed! This honey bun really does not even look like something I would have for breakfast, and that is typically when I eat honey buns. Inside this honey bun is …
DiGiorno Flatbread Melts - Chicken & Bacon Ranch
The package for DiGiorno Flatbread Melts - Chicken & Bacon Ranch flavor promises fresh baked taste in just minutes.

Charles Peanut Gems
Another guilty pleasure of mine is buying “Charles Peanut Gems” whenever I can find them. These are chocolate covered peanuts that have a candy coating. In a sense they remind me of a cheaper, more Caribbean brand of M&Ms since it have blue, yellow, green brown and red chocolate …
TGI Friday’s Frozen Potato Skins
Do your appetizers never seem to look or taste as good as the ones you get at the restaurant? Now you can have restuarnt style appetizers in your own home, and easily cooked in your microwave. these great potato skins by TGI Fridays are a wonderful way to prepare …
Franck 3in1
Lately I go nuts about instant coffee drinks, I really don’t know if that’s because I am just too lazy to prepair a real coffee because it is much easier to prepair an instant one or just because these instant coffees are always more delicious. Yesterday I went to …
Great Value Apple Juice
Just to make a difference, I purchased an apple drink one time when I shopped for food at SM Hypermarket, SM Makati Philippines. My family gets used to drinking soft drinks and Iced Tea; sometimes if there are fruit juices we drink it too. Sometimes we only drink cold …
Friendly Farms French Onion Dip
Friendly Farms French onion dip is the standard Aldi’s brand only available at Aldi’s Stores where everything is sold at a discount. It is the typical French onion dip, made of sour cream with onions and other flavorings. A two tablespoon serving has 70 calories.
It …
Sunchips French Onion Flavored
I bought this 11 1/2 oz. bag of French Onion Sunchips a couple days ago and it is already half gone. Right away the bag caught my eye with the shiny sleek look and bright colors along with the “30% Less Fat Than Regular Potato Chips” remark on the …
Teh Tarik
Teh Tarik is a local specialty in my area and some other few parts in Asia. It is actually like a form of tea also, and the taste is very tea; but more stronger with a more mixture of milk and the type of tea brand must be really …
The Co-operative Light Soft Cheese
I like to always have a soft cheese spread in my food cupboard so I can get a quick snack when I want to without too much effort. I have it spread on a slightly warmed bagel, or on crackers or Ryvita for example, and I have …
Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Homemade Vanilla
Had I not tried the all-natural vanilla and French vanilla flavors first, I think I would have considered this variety to be my favorite vanilla ice cream. Blue Bunny Premium Ice Cream Homemade Vanilla is a delicious ice cream, but unfortunately, is is neither as rich in vanilla flavor …
Clorets Chewing Gum
There are many different “fresh breath” gums out there but by far I think the most effective bad breath fighter is the little green chicklet sized gum squares made by the Cadbury-Adams company called “Clorets”. This gum has an ingredient called Actizol that is supposed to be very …
David’s Deli - Plain Bagels
I only purchased David’s Deli - Plain Bagels once and the reason for that is the bagels seemed to be on the stale side even though I had my first one the very next morning and the “best used by date” was far off. I always check the dates …
Best Choice Frozen Chopped Broccoli
Frozen chopped broccoli is a great addition to casseroles and main dishes. I have always bought name brand chopped broccoli, like Green Giant, but am feverishly trying to cut down on my grocery bill. I recently tried the generic version of chopped broccoli offered at our grocery …
Little Jack Horner Homemade Meat Pies
I will admit that I am a fan of meat pies. Yes, I did have them as a kid, but as an adult, I have rediscovered this wonderful meal. Of course, I have not yet and do not plan to actually cook or bake this dish myself, and I do …
Eating Right Rice & Wheat Flakes with Strawberries Cereal
This cereal from Tom Thumb is a little above average, but the quality isn’t high enough to justify the size of the box or the price of the cereal. The size of the box is twelve ounces and the price is almost three dollars. I really like strawberries, so …
