Do you like the dollar store? Well, I do. I got addicted to those chain stores the moment I came to America. I like to look for good deals in there and one day I saw popcorn, which is usually more expensive than 1 dollar. The brands they sell there …

This yummy traditional cookie is one of my favorites, and always has been. These cookies are shortbread with chocolate on the bottom and fuge stripes across the top. It is just the right combination of chocolate and shortbreak to make a fantastic cookie.

I’m not normally a person who tries new beverages; especially when it comes to “flavored” teas. I like tea in general but have never been a fan of teas that offer some sort of fruit flavor as well as its natural taste.
However, my wife recently picked up some Blueberry …

An outstanding way in which you can start your day is with Kellogg’s Rice Krispies. This is a very classic breakfast cereal that has been around for many years. While the cereal has been around for awhile, the taste is still the same and just as good …

I did not care for Entenmann’s Holiday Pop’ems very much at all. The reason I did not like them too much is because there is just not a lot of flavor to the pop’ems. These pop’ems are covered in sprinkles and aside from looking colorful and nice, these sprinkles …

We just recently got a Siamese fighting fish. They are a great pet for kids because they are easy to take care of. We bought this food, Nutrafin Max Betta Food, because it had the lowest unit price but seemed to have similar ingredients to the pellets that were …

In my search for a quick snack after work while everyone is asleep, I came across a small siopao store. The only one in the whole commercial strip near our place that has their lights on, with a sign board saying “Open 24 Hours”. I feel relieved, although I …

I like the Pineapple fruit bowls, they come in a six …

Soft drink has long been a thing of the past for me. Though, if there is no other available beverage or the ever-reliable water, I take soft drink than suffer the possibility of being choked. What if no one is around who know how to perform Heimlich Maneuver, the …

This quite an odd combination of flavors. Banana and chocolate, together? I have heard and seen people eat bananas dipped in chocolate before, but I have never done so myself. As for these Little Bites Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, I still really cannot say what I think of a …

During the warm months of summer, I have a great excuse to buy my favourite store-bought ice-cream. Although I keep trying new flavours, Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked remains my very favourite. I do detest paying the $7 or so for a tiny container, but there are times that …

I enjoy Entenmann’s 8 Frosted Devils Food Donuts from time to time. The chocolate frosting as well as the chocolate cake interior are both quite rich and real in flavor, and that is always a very important factor. These donuts retain the unique Devils Food flavor found in Devils …

Cedarlane Three Layer Enchilada Pie is a tasty dish that is also quite filling! This enchilada consists of three loaded layers that pack a pretty tasty punch! Each layer is separated by a corn tortilla. There is something that is special about these corn tortillas, though: they are organic. …

Deer Park brand spring water is a fine example of decent bottled water actually worth paying for. Although water doesn’t have a particular flavor, it can still taste bad. Deer Park water, however, has a refreshing lack of chemical taste. They claim it comes from real …

I sometimes prepare my own dinner when my mom is not around, they arrived late during weekends because they have to attend some church activities. I am not good in cooking, I tried to prepare a cook meal just once but I failed to make it appealing to my …

I’ve been looking for some other alternative to the instant noodle packs I’m used to buying for emergency food. What used to cost Php5 per pack of instant noodles is now more than Php8. It’s not that much really but if you’re trying to live on a budget, …

Yes, it is true I like Big Butt’s. Well, at least I like Leinenkugel’s Big Butt. This is a great example of a doppelbock style beer made by the Wisconsin microbrewery. As we move from the heavy winter beers towards the lighter beers of spring, doppelbock style beers will …

I was moderately impressed with Entenmann’s 8 Crumb Donuts. This is essentially a coffee cake made into a donut. The donut is on the crunchy side and features cinnamon baked into the crumb topping. This is a unique donut creation that I have not seen before. I personally feel …

A sandwich isn’t a sandwich unless you have a good bread to hold it together. Sure the sauce and the meat and cheese with vegetables is one thing, but the bread is a whole other thing in itself. That’s why I decided to try sour dough bread from …

My wife decided to pick up dinner last night and I was a bit surprised when I got home and found she picked up a lasagna from the brand Great Value.

What I liked about this product: I have found, as far as breakfast goes at least, you can’t go wrong with …

I had never really been a Honey Bun fan until recently when I was given a honey bun at a friend’s house as a breakfast food item. I should say off the bat, these things aren’t good for you. I don’t remember the exact numbers but I remember thinking …

I was on the go the day I grabbed this particular cereal bar. I wanted to put something on my stomach to break my fast, before starting my day. I’m usually not a fan to the whole soft bar scene, but I decided to give it shot. The only …

I love turkey, but when I say that, I usually mean Butterball turkey or deli turkey slices. I don’t like turkey hot dogs or turkey anything else as a rule. On a whim, though, I saw Hormel Homestyle Turkey Meat Loaf and Tomato Sauce at the store …

Roti Jala or also known as Lacy Pancakes are very thin-like pancakes and they are also pretty lacy, and hence the name of lacy is given. ‘Jala’ means fishing net, and if you look closely, you will see the designs of something like a fishing net.
This is a very …

I look forward to having these tasty and nutritious waffles for breakfast in the morning. Perhaps nutritious is too generous of a word, but the waffles are a good source of ten vitamins as well as nutrients and minerals as a result of the waffles being multigrain. Ten come …
