We had celebrated the beginning of the new 2007 year with a bottle of Andre Pink Champagne. This was the first time I tried it. I happen to prefer sweet champagne, which is next to impossible to find here in the US for some reason. Every other bottle I …

I have always liked chocolate chip cookies, especially homemade. Recently, I have tried a new variety - Keebler’s Chips Deluxe, marked as “Soft’n Chewy,” and now I can say that soft chocolate chip cookies are my favorite kind. I found them to taste much better than crunchy ones. Somehow, …

I find Entenmann’s 8 Glazed Buttermilk Donuts to be an enjoyable treat once and a great while. While these donuts are not quite as soft or fresh as the donuts sold individually in the cases, eight do come in a box and at a good value, too. Plus, the …

I was given the opportunity to try Lay’s Tapatio Limon Flavored Potato Chips one day when I had the craving for something crunchy. At the time I didn’t want to eat any granola, or find any trail mix. Fortunately enough my mom brought home a bag of …

Although a milkshake is not a dessert that I seek out very often, it is one that I sometimes do like to have. When such a day comes around, I do not go to Chick-fil-A. I have tried several of the milkshake varieties that they offer, like the chocolate, …

For Christmas this year my drink of choice was Baileys, as it is every year. This time however I decided to opt for their Coffee flavour to ring the changes. Baileys, for those of you who don’t know, is a cream liqueur which is usually drunk alone …

One day I was looking at recipes on the internet and I came across this maple nut cake with maple butter frosting. I was immediately saddened that I could not try this recipe as my country does not yet import the McCormick Imitation Maple Extract that both recipes called …

As I am over 40 years of age I of course think of Starburst fruit chews as Opal Fruits, their original name. Whenever there is a name change of my favourite sweets or confectionary I always refuse to call it by its new name until I have to …

Whenever I buy any sort of product from Aldi, I don’t expect it to be very high in quality. After all, I shop there to get the best price and sometimes have to sacrifice something for that.
But, when I bought bratwurst from the brand Parkview, I didn’t expect to …

Healthy Choice has come out with a new line of frozen entrees called All Natural Entrees. Since it was on sale at Wal-Mart, I bought enough to last me a couple of weeks, including Creamy Basil Pesto. I choose this entrée because I love the tomato-basil-mozzarella cheese …

I’m a big believer in homeopathic medicine, so the last time I was congested, I stopped by the local health food store and picked up this tea. It tastes absolutely awful, but it actually seems to loosen my congestion regardless of whether it’s warm or cold.
It’s really difficult …

I did not know what I was buying with this filter coffee as the label is almost entirely in Italian but it has turned out to be a very deep, dark, rich and strong coffee. The one bit of the label that is in English says that this …

I have found these Little Debbie Chocolate Chip Snack Cakes to be a tasty treat to enjoy every now and then. While the flavor is not fantastically rich, the cakes do satisfy my desire for something sweet. The chocolate cake is relatively moist and soft, although the flavor could …

Goldilocks is a famous bakeshop/ restaurant in the Philippines. I have been a customer of Goldilocks ever since I can remember. It was in college days at the University of Santo Tomas that we frequented the place in a street just walking distance …

Some time ago when I had exams, I didn’t have enough time to eat dinner at home since I had to leave early. I also didn’t feel like eating much because I was still nervous even though I was a bit hungry. Therefore, what I ended up doing …

Diana is a local company that sells a variety of confections, usually in the hard candles selection. They also have a product called Butternut which was one of my absolute favourite candy bars as a kid.
It has been years since I had a Butternut, but recently they began to …

Quattro is one of the best Ledo ice crem but I must say that I am really disappointed with these tastes. I usually like all 4 of these tastes but I don’t know why I don’t like them in Quattro.
Stracciatella is not very refreshing as I though it would …

I do like Potato products and have these now and again. I could probably eat a whole bag of these as they are so yummy but they are quite filling as well.
These are frozen so you find them in the Freezer section. They come in a 454g bag …

While I most certainly cannot say that the Cloverhill Bakery - Jumbo Glazed Honey Bun offers much at all in terms of nutritional value, I most definitely can say that it is full of flavor and filling as well! The sugar and the honey certainly do a number on …

We have grown up to learn that milk is really good for one’s health because it strengthens our bones. It is a good source of calcium so it doesn’t only make our bones strong but it also strengthens our teeth and our body muscle. Because I want to take …

I’ve always liked Green tea but never the one you have to prepare by yourself because that one always tastes really bad, it is very bitter and it really stinks, specially when it gets little bit cold. So now I don’t even buy those green tea bags, if I …

I am a firm believe that if something works there is no need to change it. So when I saw the new experimenting being done to the classic Oreo cookies, I was just a little perplexed as to what would make them suddenly change the chocolate outside vanilla inside? …

Breyers Chocolate Crackle definitely appeals to me in this sense: it is an ice cream that sort of alternates between a smooth texture and a crunchy texture. I like an ice cream that does just that because contrasting textures is a quality that I like in an ice cream. …

I decided to try this “All Natural Asian Cuisine” Soup only partially because of the meal it provides. It came in its own microwave bowl, and I thought it might be reusable enough to microwave my customary bowl of morning oatmeal. When I spotted it in the grocery section …

Cheezels are a snack that myself and my family have been enjoying for many years now. I’ve been eating these chips since I was very young and since then, Cheezels have thankfully kept their incredible taste and great flavour that we all love so much. They still …

Ever since I was a small child I have always enjoyed Lance Cheese on Wheat crackers. The crackers are only sold packaged in packs of six; you can find them sometimes in vending machines. These are by far my favorite packaged cracker simply because of how different they are …

My friend suggested that I try Dannon Activia products for my often-upset stomach, because she said they always help settle her stomach and keep her system working well and feeling good. I bought a package of 4 drinks, just to see if they did anything at all. With frequent …

I first encountered Arcor’s Butter Toffee with a Chocolate Center when I was going to high school. This is one of the best toffees I have ever come across in my life. I don’t think any other toffee would beat it back, they can only come close.
I am chocolate …

I am very much into health and fitness, and I’m always trying new things. My daughter gave me a can of Boost Nutritional Energy Drink, and now I am hooked. I love Boost, it’s so creamy and tasty. Boost comes in and 8oz can. So far I have only …
