I love the flavor of coconut. I love its rich and wonderful taste. I was in the grocery store looking for something that would give me a coconut flavoring when I saw this extract. I bought it to impart a coconut taste to a recipe I was making in …

Ever been famished? Ever had a roommate who was a strict vegetarian?
Ever been so famished you’d eat anything in sight even if it was mostly tofu and mystery meat-free ingredients? Well I have, and I’m a better person for it. See, my roommate doesn’t eat meat, …

I don’t normally complain about the food I get from Cousin’s Subs. Normally the service is somewhat questionable but the food makes it worth it.
But, I tried their chili last night and have to say I wasn’t very impressed with it.
I picked it up looking for something warm to …

My favourite brand of butter is Anchor butter as I am yet to taste another brand of butter that can even come close to competing with it. I first tasted it when I would go to my grandmother’s house when I was very little and she would make breakfast …

Mother’s Iced Lemonade Cookies are sold at gas stations and convenience stores across the United States. I think you can also get them from some stores, but I usually see them at the gas station in smaller bags perfect for snacking on. Each bag is white, with some bright …

I like to have some gum on me at all times as not only is it good for freshening my post-cigarette breath but it helps to clean my teeth. Gum acts like a mini mouthwash as it gets your saliva flowing and dislodges bits of food remaining after …

I have replaced sugar in our home with Splenda. I found that this product contains the same sweetness that sugar did, but it is healthier for you. Splenda comes in small packages that are pre measured. I add it to my tea in the morning …

I do not care overly much for these Chocolate Fudge Swirls. The reason I do not care all that much for these swirls is because it is really just too much chocolate for me. Chocolate on the outside, chocolate on the inside., chocolate all around! Chocolate lovers will likely …

These Hostess Donettes - Powdered Sugar variety are much, much more tolerable than the downright hideous chocolate variety that I simply could not possibly stomach. While I did just say they are much, much more tolerable, I did not say they were excellent, or even great. The powdered sugar …

As a coffee drinker I like to use liquid creamer instead of the standard powdered version of it. For the simple fact that its blends better than the power does. Not only does it blend better but it at times sweetens the coffee, enhances the flavor or better yet …

I am flat out addicted to these things! However they are something you really only must eat in moderation. Also, I don’t really recommend them to people who are trying to stay on a low carb diet or watch their weight… because these things are carb city!
What is a …

I love to eat pasta, but with the carb-concern these days I can’t help but look for a healthier alternative. It’s safe to say that my search was over once I discovered Primo Grainwise Wholewheat Pasta.
There are several reasons why I think this pasta is much better than …

I have only been able to purchase the Appleton Farms Boneless Ham Steak at ALDI Food Market stores, which is unfortunate because if the ALDI Food Markets around my home ever stop selling this ham, I won’t be able to purchase it anywhere else. It’s very good ham and …

These have to be my favorite chip ever, and have been for years. I love that Sun Chips has offered a multigrain chip, even long before the whole “green” trend started. They aren’t your typical chip, they have a much lower fat content that regular chips and when eating …

Three musketeers candy bar is a very good candy bar and it taste very good too and there are many good things too say about this particular candy bar and the first thing to say about this bar is that the chocolate is always mouthwatering good. I like how …

Without a doubt, I enjoy cheese. I probably derive a bit too much satisfaction from eating cheese and could likely stand to cut back some on it, but when products like Sam’s Choice Cheese Sticks Mozzarella and Asiago exist on store shelves, my goodness is it ever difficult! I …

Why they call this product “chocolate ice cream” and not just “chocolate” is a mystery to me. It’s a creamy chocolate drink, and more closely comparable to a chocolate milkshake than chocolate ice cream. At any rate, this is a creamy chocolate nutrition drink that isn’t quite as good …

My family never used to buy the Lasco Brand of Corned Beef, but would instead buy Grace corned beef for many years. However, some time ago they had begun to buy the Lasco Brand of corned beef. Now personally, I did not mind trying other brands even though I …

I have always been a chicken noodle fan since childhood. Campbell’s has been my brand of choice because it seemed to taste better than all the rest. For the past couple of years I have been trying to eat healthier and noticed that Campbell’s has a whole line of …

I purchased a box of Nature’s Path Organic Coconut Chia Granola Cereal from my neighborhood Aldis for $2.79. As a lover of all things crunchy and granola, I was excited to give this granola a try.
The idea of getting whole grains, AlA Omega 3’s, and fiber all in one …

Grandessa Signature Frozen Fruit Bars Strawberry aren’t the best. I kind of expected more from the frozen fruit bars because the packaging stated that they were all natural and filled with real strawberries. When I took a bite into one of these frozen fruit bars though, what I got …

This slab of milk chocolate from the Sainsbury’s Basics —˜cheapo’ brand cost all of 27 pence and I cannot complain about it for that price. If you are on a budget and you want to satisfy your chocolate addiction but do not want to pay big prices —“ …

I recently acquired a coupon for the new toasted chips by Ritz and thought I would give them a try. The chips are essentially very thin crackers that have been toasted and then put in a bag. They are very tasty and are not as fattening as other chip …

Little Debbie Cinnamon French Toast Sweet Rolls are indeed sweet, but I just do not taste all that much cinnamon. I admittedly do taste a little, but apparently, the makers of these sweet rolls were very skimpy with the cinnamon. It is a real shame, too, because I think …

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. …

I love french fries and enjoy them when served really hot from most fast food chains, especially at Mc Donald’s. Speaking of which, i am here to comment about the promo of McDonald’s for the Madagascar Movie Tie-up for their French Fries. This is called the Shaker Fries. Shaker …

Because I don’t often drink coffee, I drink hot chocolate a lot. So we’ve been trying different hot chocolate mixes to keep in the kitchen so I can make a hot chocolate at home in the morning.
Since I like Rolo candies…and really, any combination involving caramel and chocolate, …

When I had went on vacation in the USA I had encountered truffles made by a company by the name of Lindt. I soon found out that these were delicious Swiss chocolates and I was very delighted when around Chrismtas time I saw a new assortment of the class …

When it comes to dinner, it’s sometimes hard to find something I can get my 3-year-old daughter to eat. I mean I can find somethings for her but they are usually the same things she eats all the time and I’m afraid she’ll get burned out on them really …

I like eclairs, and one of my recent discoveries in that department is Poppies Belgian Mini Eclairs. A plastic box containing about 30 small, half-a-finger size eclairs costs $3.98. The eclairs are sold frozen, and they must be kept that way. When you want to use them, you just …

I purchase Kroger Value Enriched Hot Dog Buns because they are pretty cheap, no other reason. When on sale, they are cheaper than Walmart’s Great Value hot dog buns but they also suffer from the same problem as Walmart’s hot dog buns: they fall apart real easily. These hot …

Lady’s Choice offers sandwich spreads with different varieties like ham, tuna, bacon and chicken. The problem I am having with these products is that I cannot find the meat in it. On their TV commercials they say more meaty and more tasty which I don’t get because there does …

One of my favorite cereals is Cheerios. It comes in a cheerful yellow box, and the boxes can come in varying sizes. Cheerios are small, round o-shaped peices of cereal. They are made of grains and oats. There are different types, like multi-grain, honey nut, …

Just yesterday I went and bought me some food from a local Chinese Restuarant named Wai Loong, which is very close to my workplace. It has been a while since I ate food there and I ordered, vegetable fried rice, vegetable lo mien, chow mien and of course …

Cape Cod Potato Chips are definitely one of the better potato chips out there, especially if you are into natural or organic foods. The quality is at the top of the game and the value is also great. In the past, Lay’s would’ve definitely been my top choice but …

If you live a life constantly on the go, the you will really appreciate carnation Instant breakfast. What it is, is a drink taht is packed with all the vitamins ntrients and protien taht you will need for the day, but its all in a drink.
This makes having a …

This frozen dinner didn’t do much to impress me. I think what ruined this frozen dinner in my eyes is the weak tomato sauce. There was unfortunately nothing special about it. It was just there. It didn’t contribute much in terms of flavor and so it didn’t enhance the …

I had often heard of the Kellog’s Nutrigrain Cereal Bar from advertisements, but never had the chance to try it until recently even though I really wanted to. This was mostly because the places where I had seen it being sold, were selling it at a very expensive price …

The Burger King Whopper is definitely one of my favorites. I get it with cheese because I’m a big cheese lover. With the Whopper, I think it starts with the meat. It’s flamed broiled goodness. When it’s warm it almost melts in your mouth. …

Stouffer’s Baked Chicken Breast is a pretty enjoyable and nutritious meal that I like having every now and then. What I like about it is simple, really. The baked chicken breast has a pretty good flavor to it, and it is tender, too! Plus, the chicken breast is a …

Droste Milk and Dark Pastilles (although the name is actually rendered as “Milk / Dark” on the pack) are a chocolate treat that I do not very often manage to enjoy, not because I don’t like the things - I do, a great deal - but because they are …

I first started drinking Sobe Life water as an alternative to help break the habit of drinking to much coffee and soda. Now I have mostly eliminated soda for Sobe. I do miss all that yummy soda, but the zero calories, no artificial sweeteners Sobe Life Water has versus soda, …

For me, the joy of holidays sometimes mean treating myself to seasonal candies I wouldn’t normally buy, especially if they are on sale. Recently, I took a chance on Elmer Candy: You’re a Purr-fect Valentine box of candies.
The box is heart shaped and features an adorable kitty cat …

I also work for the food industry business and I consider each food establishment around the globe must be like brothers and sisters working hand in hand in providing ultimate food quality and costumer satisfaction. My job requires me to work with the technical aspect of food items served …

When shopping for cereal, I tend to first check out what the Malt-O-Meal brand has to offer. The big bags that the cereal comes in tends to work out to being a better value than the cereal that comes in a box, and the Malt-O-Meal Strawberry Cream Mini-Spooners is …

My whole family loves Mahatma Saffron Yellow Long Grain Rice. It’s really nice for my “rice kid”, my son who at the moment would live on rice if we let him, loves this stuff I love this rice. It’s a nice change to give him …

Chick-fil-A Chicken, Egg & Cheese Bagel is one of the few menu items from the Chick-fil-A fast food restaurant that I have actually been disappointed with and have no desire to purchase again. The reason I was disappointed with this sandwich is because I did not think that the …

I have been addicted to Starbuck’s Mocha Frappachinos for quite some time, and I am pretty sure that they add something into their coffee drinks to make them so addicting that you come back for more. I also have to say that I think it is quite an …

Now that my baby girl is now four months old, I made her try Cerelac Wheat and Milk and she just loved it! I am so happy that she can now eat solid food to make her more strong and healthy. Cerelac is a gentle first food that is …

This is a delicious frozen meal that I love to have on occasion. It’s not exactly filling on its own, so I tend to have to add some mashed potatoes and bread, but when I do that, I end up getting filled up mighty nicely and I end up …
