Turkey Meal by Banquet (frozen dinner)
I use frozen dinners to same me time and money while I put myself through school. With three kids I need to keep a large selection of frozen dinners around that they like. I wish I could cook more for them but frozen dinners will do for now. I …
Pepsi Cola - Diet
This soda is so wicked. I find the taste to be quite bitter at times, so unpleasant it actually feels like it burns my tongue. There is definitely a cola flavor present, but it is overpowered by the excess carbonation and fizzing on the tongue.
Diet Pepsi also seems to …
TLC Cherry Dark Chocolate Chewy Granola Bars
My favorite granola bar to have when I am hungry is the TLC Cherry Dark Chocolate Chewy Granola Bars. I like these granola bars because they are made with whole grains, dark chocolate, dried sweet cherries, almonds and honey, which are all ingredients that are nourishing to the body. …
Ben and Jerry’s Americone Ice Cream
I don’t often get a chance to buy one of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream pints, but every now and then when it’s on sale, I’ll pick out a flavor or two to try. Normally, it’s priced beyond my dessert budget and I have to pass on it …
Nescafe Original
It is interesting that Nescafe make different types of coffee in different countries. I didn’t realize this until I bought some recently in Spain and found that it was a stronger blend than the one we buy in Britain. Of course, it could be that it is due to …
Ore Ida Golden Fries
One of my food vices is potatoes. I love them, and I especially adore French fries. I’m pretty finicky about my fries, though. I want them to be soft and hot and not oily. Some fast food restaurants really know how to make a good …
Sbarro Pizza
Sbarro is a well known Pizza shop found in nearly every mall in America. I had lunch with two other people at Sbarro yesterday in the Mall of Ontario Ohio, outside of Mansfield Ohio. I enjoyed the meal as I always do. Sbarro makes great pizza and Stromboli.
I think …
Bar S Hot Dogs
My wife decided to make hot dogs for dinner last night (I think she was determined to make sure the kids ate dinner without a fight so we could get them to bed early). When she made them, I expected her to pull out a pack of Oscar Mayer …
So Delicious Coconutmilk yogurt alternative unsweetened
Trying out vegan stuff has become one of my obsessions lately. There are so many dairy and meat alternatives at the store now, it blows my mind. I’m a vegatarian and I eat dairy, however, I’m cutting it out a lot, I don’t use regular milk in any recipes anymore, …
Betty Crocker Super Moist Carrot Cake
I bought two boxes of this mix recently as I thought they were a great deal price wise, each costing around a dollar. Now, however, I’m not too sure. Generally I like cake mixes for the ease and because they are much cheaper than buying already baked cakes. I …
Cadbury Bliss chocolate bar
The Cadbury Bliss is a new chocolate bar, and one which seems to be aimed at women judging by the little advertising that I have seen for it. I am, as usual, slightly irritated by this assumption that it is only women who want a nice, comforting chocolate hit …
Nestle Shredded Wheat
Nestle Shredded Wheat is a very healthy breakfast cereal made entirely from whole grain wheat with, as the advert says, nothing added and nothing taken away. Whole grain cereal is generally very high in fibre and retains all the natural goodness which processed grain usually has been stripped …
Selecta Coffee Almond Cookies Ice Cream
This new flavor of Selecta didn’t impress me much. With coffee cream as its main flavor, it was mixed with tiny and only a few bits of almonds and cookie crumbs. I didn’t experience anything new or special with this flavor.
I like Coffee Crumble better. The cashew nuts …
HOT POTATOES: SPICY BLOODY MARY CHIPS
Spicy Bloody Mary Chips were released by the same company that makes Beer Chips. They’re working on creating different types of chips that incorporate the taste of alcoholic drinks, but without including any alcohol in the mixture. Their beer chips were pretty good, but I didn’t really like the …
George DuBouef Beaujolais
I rarely like to drink “inexpensive” wine, but this beaujolais by George DuBoef is a fantastic glass of wine at a great price. The DuBouef wine’s are usually availible at your local grocery store.
I purchase my last bottle at the Harris Teeter near my home for about $8. this …
Tescos Chunky Chilli Soup
A soup that I discovered in Tesco a couple of years ago is a Tesco branded Chunky Chilli Soup. I love it, but it’s important to not be fooled by the name here. Chunky Chilli suggests that you are in for something hot and yet that could not really …
Mama Cozzi’s Pizza
One of the truly outstanding values that is available at your Aldi food store is Mama Cozzi’s Pizza. The cost for one of these 16 inch pizzas is about six dollars. You would be hard pressed to find a similar size pizza for that price to be perfectly …
Aro sandwich triangular bread
Aro Sandwich triangle bread is another kind of bread, which is available in the market. This bread is not made of wheat flour and it is made of maida flour. But it has good taste and as this is particularly in triangular shape and is specially made …
Home Style Select Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips
Sour cream and onion are my favorite flavors to have on potato chips. The combination of sour cream and onion flavors makes for not so pleasant breath, but boy do the two flavors taste good together! These chips from the Dollar Tree have a strong sour cream and onion …
State Fair Mini Corndogs
I was looking for something that I could quickly throw in the oven on nights that I didn’t feel much like cooking. In my search at Walmart, I came across State Fair Mini Corndogs. I am not crazy about corndogs on most occasions, but this could provide a quick …
Complan
Complan is another health drink, which is from India. But I did not like it due to some reasons and here I would like to state those reasons. Complan is called as the complete planned food and it also promises that it gives all the necessary minerals …
Wilton Cookie Icing
When I was venturing into making Mickey Mouse cookies for my son’s second birthday I knew I needed an icing that would dry hard to decorate with. I looked into several options and decided on this one. While this icing gave me WONDERFUL results, there are definitely …
Jolly Rancher Fruit Chews
Product Description: Fruit flavored taffy candy that comes indivdually wrapped. Meant to be a softer alternative to traditional Jolly Rancher hard candies.
What I liked about this product: I don’t mind hard candy but do prefer softer candy because I can trust my kids with it a bit more. Seeing …
Count Chocula Energy Drink
Fans of Generation pop culture and trivia will get a huge kick out of the inclusion of the Count Chocula brand into the world of energy drinks. Yes, it was only a short time ago that the great Count (along with Boo Berry and Franken Berry) was a …
Marpo squashes
Marpo squashes are the concentrated juices of many flavours. Actually during summer or during the hot days the juices are the best drinks, which all the people do prefer to have it. The Marpo squashes are the new kind of squashes that I saw in the super …
Kraft Singles Cheese
I love Kraft singles cheese and it’s my most favorite brand of cheese. I have been eating this cheese for a very long time and I have really enjoyed it. The price usually changes depending on the store but I purchase a package of Kraft cheese for …
Springbank Cheese Company
This weekend, I finally visited one of the places I have been wanting to see for some time now, the Springbank Cheese Company. It is advertised as one of Calgary’s premier cheese stores, and as cheese is one of the highlights of my life, I was looking forward to it. …
Blend 45 Coffee
I do not regularly buy Blend 45, I choose to buy Nescafe Coffee and Great Taste brand of coffee. The reason why I bought one it is either I get tired of tasting Nescafe or Great Taste is not available. In addition, if I want to save money I …
Stouffer’s Corner Bistro Margherita Flatbread
Stouffer’s Corner Bistro Margherita Flatbread is probably something that is geared towards vegetarians or for those that simply love vegetables. I personally find the sandwich to not be filling at all, really. It is sort of fine if I am not too hungry and it is lunch time and …
Organic Rice Krispies and Frosted Mini-Wheats
I am concerned about keeping my family healthy, as are most mothers. I have been pleased at the deluge of more healthful items available in the regular grocery stores as of late. In particular, I have been very happy with Kellogg’s new organic Rice Krispies and Frosted Mini-Wheat’s cereals.
In …
Cream-o cookies
A few days ago, when I went to the supermarket, the Oreo cookies were surprisingly cheap, so I bought a box without thinking it twice. Once I arrived home and I ate one, I realized that the taste was different, and after taking a good look at the box …
Lance Cheese on Wheat Crackers
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 …
Kraft Philadelphia Pineapple Cream Cheese
The Philadelphia pineapple cream cheese has got to be my favorite of all the cream cheeses. I love how the pineapple sweetness infuses itself in the cream cheese without taking over completely.
I mainly purchase the Philadelphia pineapple cream cheese as a spread for my bagels. I get them from …
Landgut Sunflower Bread
I have been experimenting at Lidl again and tried this Sunflower Bread from the ‘Landgut’ brand. It was only about 79 pence and for that you get a packet of sliced, deep brown bread with visible seeds. I love seeds and am aware of the great nutritional …
Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino
For a green tea addict such as myself, Starbucks’ green tea frappuccino is the perfect summer replacement for the similar green tea latte. Sweet and milky with a chill temperature, I’d even go as far as to compare the green tea frappuccino to ice cream (not necessarily green tea …
Nature’s Path: Flax Plus Red Berry Frozen Waffles
Nature’s Path: Flax Plus Red Berry Frozen Waffles disappointed me quite a bit. The reason I purchased these waffles was because of the raspberry and strawberry flavors. I did not feel that either flavor was represented well and neither did much for me. Oh sure, I could taste some …
Pizza Hut Cheesy Bites Pizza
After watching all of the tempting Pizza Hut commercials for Cheesy Bites Pizza, my daughter and I finally decided to give it a try. When we visit Pizza Hut, my daughter and I usually like to order breadsticks and pan pizza. The Cheesy Bites Pizza was quite …
Sleepytime Tea
Sleepytime tea is the perfect tea for those who want a mild and delicious drink at the end of the day. I sometimes think it’s hard to find a good tasting tea that doesn’t overpower you and that doesn’t have loads of caffeine. Sleepytime tea is caffeine free and …
Snack a jacks Crunchy Curls Sweet Chilli Kick
This is a new product out in the Snack a Jack Snack range. Since I am currently back on a diet I am always on the lookout for new and different snack foods that I can nibble on. I’m not a big eater, but more of a little and …
Tai Hing Black Fungus Mushroom
I’m a person who really likes mushrooms. I do have a variety of mushrooms in my cupboard for the purpose of including them in different recipes. I do have shitake mushroom in can, button mushroom and this black fungus mushroom by Tai Hing.
The black fungus mushroom which is dried …
Blue Bunny Arctic Blue Bomb Pop Gel Blasts
Blue Bunny Arctic Blue Bomb Pop Gel Blasts are certainly eye catching! The arctic blue colors are really attractive, perhaps to me in particular because blue is my favorite color. The raspberry flavor that is a part of these gel blasts is good, although nothing fantastic. The flavor certainly …
Sunkist Green Tea
Buying a Sunkist Green Tea is a good decision not. I guess though it was just about Php13.00, or $0.30. This is how much it was sold in supermarkets; I just saw in some convenient stores they sell it for Php4.00 more. I just love trying out …
Amul nutramul health drink
I use the Amul nutramul health drink at my home. I feed it to my children and I also give it to my parents in law. The amul nutramul is a health drink, which has all the essential nutrition values, which are needed for our body. …
Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA
Today I am going to be reviewing Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA. I love regular Sierra Nevada Pale Ale but the IPA version is just awesome. I can still remember the first day I tried one at my friends house. The taste of it was so good when it was …
Al Mawakeb Nuts mixture
I tasted Al Mawakeb Nuts, mixture. It is really tasty. This is a good evening time snack. Impressive feature is that it is fresh and crispy. It contains all the ingredients like besan, pea nuts, green peas, chilly powder, curry leaves, spices etc,etc in good ratio that gives an …
Starbucks Cookie Dough Cheesecake
It was my first time yesterday to see Starbucks offering a Cookie Dough Cheesecake as on of its dessert selections. As I love cheesecake and cookie dough, it seemed only natural for me to order a slice which I shared with my friend. A slice cost Php105 …
Cauldron Lincolnshire Veggie Sausages
Cauldron Lincolnshire Veggie Sausages are made with tofu and are much tastier than the Quorn vegetarian sausages in my opinion. I think what makes these —˜Lincolnshire’ sausages is the fact that they contain herbs which does make them really tasty. Also, I understand that Lincolnshire sausages are …
