Cafe Direct Mountain Reserve Machu Picchu Instant Coffee
This instant coffee is from the Café Direct Fairtrade range and it is described as —˜smooth with hints of nutty, dark chocolate’. It was the chocolate bit that attracted me. I have been enjoying this coffee but I feel there are better instant coffees out there —“ …
Bake and Churn (Robinsons Metro East)
This is not actually a restaurant, it is just a small stall or cart but their products are surprisingly delicious. So what I’m going to review now is their ice cream cakes that I love. (And it will be also your must add this to your “must try” list.)

Morrisons Delicatessen Wensleydale Cheese with Onion & Chives
I am not too familiar with Wensleydale cheese in particular, although I love trying different cheeses. In fact I eat cheese every day now I come to think about it. I love the taste but as a vegetarian, I always appreciate that cheese has a high protein …
Ronzoni Bistro Rotini with Tomato and Basil
One of the nice things about Ronzoni Bistro Rotini with Tomato and Basil is that I can heat up the pasta right in the bag. That is right - no need to dirty a dish for this pasta creation! Preparation could not possibly be easier - just stick in …
Crystal Geyser Natural Alpine Spring Water
Growing up, all I knew was tap water. It stayed that way until just ten or fifteen years ago. I’m not sure why I suddenly decided to try water that I had to buy, but I’m sure there was a catalyst that I’ve forgotten.
After some experimenting, I …
Sanderson Farms Packaged Chicken
Sanderson Farms Packaged Chicken is sold at several supermarkets in my area and it’s certainly my most favorite brand of chicken. I love the fact that Sanderson Farms Packaged Chicken is available in many types including, wings, legs and thighs. One of the reasons that I purchase …

Old El Paso Hard and Soft Taco Dinner Kit
Thanks to a new product I just found, I can now make tacos at home again, which is something that makes me very happy. For years, I have rarely purchased taco kits from the grocery store because I like hard tacos and my husband likes soft ones, so I …
CVS Fudge Striped Shortbread Cookies
CVS Fudge Striped Shortbread Cookies are modeled after the Keebler Fudged Stripes cookies. Not only do the cookies sold under the CVS Pharmacy name look identical to the national brand, but they also taste just as good! The fudge is rich and tasty and the shortbread cookie leaves a …
Clover Leaf Inspirations Tuna with Tomato, Herbs & Black Olives
In the winter time I love to make casseroles, but I was tired of making the same old thing. While picking up some cleaning products at my local Dollarama store I happened to venture down the food aisle and picked up a package of Clover Leaf Inspirations Tuna with …
Selecta Choco Almond Fudge Ice Cream
Being a true-blue chocolate lover, I was excited to try this new flavor from Selecta’s ice cream selection. I bought the 800ml pint of Choco Almond Fudge for only approximately $2.80, and with that price it’s really not that expensive for something that 2 persons can share to, maybe …
Fit & Active Protein Meal Bars Chocolatey Chip
Around the holidays, and sometimes just plain in general, it’s not always easy to maintain one’s weight. A higher than usual calorie intake without sufficient supplemental exercise, it can be far too easy to add on extra pounds without realizing it right away. That’s why it’s important to offset …
Wendy’s Baconator
One of the best burgers I have ever tasted. What other burger have you ever eaten that has all this meat? It has two patties, and if you ask for more they will add more! It has stripes of bacon. Ham and beef, what a great combination with come …
Stephen’s Bean and Potato Pie
I do like the Odd Pie and I would say my most favourite Pie in the whole world is a Bean and Potato Pie. They aren’t as boring as just plain Mince ones, but you get the Mince Pie Part with a good dollop of Potato on the top …
Twizzlers
I am going to be very blunt when I describe Twizzlers because they are what they are, and there is no hiding that from the consumer. They are licorice with no taste; if there was a category of candy called boring candy, Twizzlers would feel right at home with …

McCoys Ridged Nacho Cheese Flavour Tortillas
I am not so hot on these Ridged Tortillas from the McCoy’s brand, but they are edible. I think when I saw them I thought they were the brand I tried before which I liked but these were not as nice as the other brand. Just so …
Blue Bunny Yogurt
Blue Bunny, Lite 85, is my favorite yogurt brand.
It’s Fat Free with no sugar, made with Splenda. And although it’s name says Lite 85, it has only a cool 80 calories! For those who aren’t aware, most women are sensitive to aspartame, the usual sweetener used in …
Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts - Wild! Berry
These pop tarts are quite good. They are made with real fruit, so the flavor is actually pretty rich and real. The berries included in and on top of the pop tarts are: strawberry, cherry and blueberries. I admit that the picture on the box does not really look …
Black Licorice Soda
Black Cat Licorice is one of the special edition holidays sodas from Jones Soda, meaning that you’ll either love it or completely hate it like I did. I was hoping that this would be a little different and more like the red licorice flavor they released in the past, …

I like LifeSavers mint candy, it is one of my favorite candy-dish fillers. LifeSavers are available as Wint-o-Green (mint) and Pepp-o-Mint (peppermint); a well-sized 13 oz bag costs $1.98. Each candy is individually wrapped, and each has “LifeSavers” impressed on it. The candies are white, round, with a hole …
Starbucks Via Ready Brew, Italian Roast
I don’t really go to Starbucks anymore, but when I did I was always into their dark roasts like Sumatra or Italian roast. I haven’t had instant coffee in even longer, because it isn’t the best tasting coffee usually. Instant is something I felt I had moved on from. …
Kazim’s Place Green Salad
I really need to start eating green salad a lot more like I used to back in high school. I usually get a lovely large helping of green salad at Kazim’s Place anytime I purchase food there. It is usually served as a side dish but they give you …

Quiznos Classic Italian sandwich, you’ve got to love it! With the option of white or brown bread (I always go white) and whatever veggies you want on it before going into the magical oven. This oven turns a regular sandwich into a nice warm, mouth watering piece …
H.K. Anderson Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets
This is an entirely different kind of pretzel! It’s a pretzel with peanut butter on the inside. I never gave much thought to how pretzels and peanut butter would taste together. I was familiar with pretzels and cheese, but pretzels and peanut butter? I had to give them a …
Dark Chocolate M & M’s
I congratulate M & M’s for designing a dark chocolate bite-sized candy. Not only is dark chocolate supposedly healthier for us to eat becuase it has less sugar and caffine than that of regular chocolate, but I personally think it tastes much better. It has a deeper …

I bought the V8 Splash Melange Tropical Blend beverage from London Drugs on May 12, 2010 for Canadian $3.50 or $7.00 for two. It was on sale and I thought it was a terrific idea to get this manager’s special. I thought I made the right decision.

Clover Valley Strawberry Lemonade

My first impression of this beverage is that it’s really sweet, like not sugary but it’s certainly lemonade with …
Betty Crocker Wild Blueberry Muffin Mix
