Kraft Grated Parmesan and Romano Cheese
I used to purchase this grated cheese because I really liked the flavor that it added to my pasta dishes. No matter what kind of pasta I was having, this grated cheese would come out of the refrigerator and I’d add it after putting my pasta and sauce on …
Pringles Stix Honey Butter
I didn’t care very much for the honey buttered Pringles Stix. First of all, they weren’t too generous with the honey because there wasn’t much honey flavor. There was enough to make the snack slightly sweet, but it wasn’t a rich flavor that led me to crave more. I …
Jimmy Dean Breakfast Bowls
My wife and I had the house to ourselves Saturday night and ended up sleeping in on Sunday morning. Since it was the first time we had a quiet house in over a month, I ran to the store to get something easy yet different for breakfast.

Mrs. Freshley’s Apple Cinnamon Fruit & Grain Cereal Bar
Mrs. Freshley’s Apple Cinnamon Fruit & Grain Cereal Bar is not something that I plan on purchasing a second time because I did not care for the flavor of the bar or the size of the bar. Although the words “apple cinnamon” appear on the wrapper, I really do …
Reese Sticks Wafer Bars
Back in my childhood, there was a neat candy bar that was made as wafers. I can’t remember the name anymore, but these chocolate covered wafers were yummy. Somewhere along the line, whoever made them stopped. There have been other wafer bars that have come along, …
Hunt’s Classic Italian Garlic & Herb Spaghetti Sauce
I purchased this spaghetti sauce for just under ninety cents because I thought it sounded good and would add a tasty garlic and assorted herb flavor to my pasta dishes. I have pasta usually twice a week, and although I definitely enjoy it, I like to try and add …
Morrisons Value Ginger Biscuits
I thought I would review these ginger biscuits from Morrisons Value range because I cannot tell any difference between these and the more upmarket, expensive brands and you get a long packet of loads of biscuits for only 31p! OK, they are packaged in Morrisons’ nasty bright yellow …

As I have made a review of McDonald’s Ice cream sundae on a cone, I will also make a parallel review of the Jollibee’s similar sundae on a cone too.

Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
While there are various types of gluten free flour mixes, this one is my favorite. It seems to have the best combinations of the flours used and it can be substituted for regular wheat flour in recipes granted that you have xanthan gum to accompany it.
The flour has a …
Absolut Vodka
Absolut vodka is well known all over the world. Its design is impossible to mistake, in a bottle without any label but just letters printed on it. However, the bottle is not the only thing that makes this vodka special.
I like drinking vodka when I go to night clubs, …
Michelina’s Four Cheese Lasagna
This frozen dinner doesn’t even look like traditional lasagna. It’s not in a square or rectangular shape and it doesn’t have meat, either. This is a lasagna dish that’s all about the cheese and noodles. The blending of four cheeses is the highlight of this frozen dinner. There’s ricotta …
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 …
Mrs. May’s Cran-Tropical Crunch
I know that junk food is not good for you, but I just found the Mrs. May’s Cran-Tropical Crunch in the grocery and loved it. Like all junk foods, this claims to be a healthy food, vegan, wheat free with no preservatives. It’s a combination of cashes, almonds, pistachios …

Mrs. Freshley’s Halloween: Chocolate Mini Donuts

Franck 3in1

Flava Puff Butter Popcorn

La Fonte Bolognese Sauce
My family love pasta and they like to eat Bolognese pasta. And when I made my own Bolognese, I could not make it with the taste that we normally made in Europe. Maybe the tomatoes that we get here are not the same tomatoes that they have in Europe. …
Wegmans Italian Classics Nonpareil Capers

Kellogg’s Original Cinnabon Pancakes
Twelve Kellogg’s Original Cinnabon Pancakes come in a package for two dollars and fifty cents. That may sound like a fairly good deal, but the pancakes themselves actually aren’t that big.

Bagoong or Shrimp Paste
It’s actually called shrimp paste and it smells horrible uncooked. Well, it should, after all the ingredients were left to rot in huge jars. But if you sault it with garlic, onions, tomatoes and pork, it tastes wonderful. Just forget how it was processed. Bagoong is much like an …
