My addiction with dark chocolates started after I read an article that dark chocolates are healthy. I also heard the same statement from a famous dermatologist here in my country. So because I have a sweet tooth, I shifted my cravings for chocolates to dark chocolates. Among the health …

I am a mother and I love to cook for my family and especially for my kids. And my kids love to eat the cheese a lot. They want me to use the cheese in all the recipes that I prepare for them. I always buy …

Stouffer’s Easy Express Skillets Sweet & Sour Chicken is a meal that could have been quite satisfying, but because of some problems here and there, it ended up being a meal that I likely will not purchase a second time. The chicken might very well be tender, but despite …

The reason why I bought Oishi Berri Plunge is its packaging. It has a cute packaging; the color is pink with red lettering. The color looks appealing to me maybe because I am a girl. There is a picture of the flakes on the packaging; however, it does not …

I am lactose intolerant and one of the milks I use to replace cows milk is the Almond Breeze Almond Milk Coconut Milk Blend. Another reason I choose to use this milk is because it is free from gluten, which I also have a sensitivity too. It is also …

Jell-o Gelatin - Peach variety is one that I only have every so often. I am not much of a peach eater, but I do have one from time to time. I am the same way with this gelatin, I simply have it from time to time. The peach …

I have been drinking this regularly for over a month now and I have to say that it is amazing. I believe it’s one of the best juices that you can buy. I purchase it from Wal-Mart but it’s sold at several other retail stores. It …

I’m not a vegetarian but I do enjoy the odd vegetarian meal as a bit of variety. I’ve tried other kinds of veggie burgers and have been most impressed with the Kirkland Garden Burgers. These do not have tofu in them, which to me is one of …

Recently I bought some Brach’s candy corn while I was at the grocery store. They had it out with other candy for Halloween. Brach’s candy corn was pretty cheap. It was also pretty good especially for the price of it. You get a pretty big bag of candy corn. …

I’ve had the fortune to come across this item that I’ve never seen anywhere else - it is not even released in North America yet. This is lemon flavored tic tacs. Do not confuse this with lime flavored tic tacs - while the lime one is GREEN in color, …

I just recently became a vegetarian and one of the foods that I missed the most was a burger. There’s something so satisfying about a burger. I decided to try the Morning Star vegetarian burgers and wow, they taste just like a real burger, and even better …

Many peanut butters contain large amounts of pestisides. They also contain a carcinogenic mold called aflatoxin. I feel quite confidant that the Arrowhead Mills Organic Peanut Butter does not contain these “scary little aliens”, since they use only organic valencia peanuts. …

After trying the “Yoplait Original Key Lime Pie Yogurt” I made it a goal of mine to try several others of Yoplait’s exotic flavoured yogurts. One of these flavours was the “Yoplaits Original Red Velvet Cake Yogurt.” Just the name of it made me very excited about trying it, …

I tried a 300g tub of this Houmous from Lidl for only 99p. This Meadowfresh brand seems to be Lidl’s own brand judging from the label. This is a good price for such a large tub and I was looking forward to getting home and dunking some …

This is the brand that I often buy in my country. Most people in this country like to drink instant coffee, not the fresh coffee like what I used to drink in Europe. And this Indofood Coffeemix is one of the brand that I like to drink in the …

When i was in my college days i really dont appreciate the taste of this Oatmeal. But now when i am working, i used to see my friend who always hand carry a pack of Oatmeal. I just so wonder what and why she just so in love to …

M&M’s have been one my favourite milk chocolate in color coated candy form. I like it better over the original peanut version of this chocolate. Infact, the minis are small in size and looks very cute. Easy to attract my son when he becomes cranky with few of …

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 …

Farley’s Rusks are made by those food giants Heinz and are something that just about every new mother buys for her new baby once they reach the weaning stage.
Funnily enough when my two little boys were babies they were never too keen on them, however now they are older- …

Wow and yum! These Pringles Stix have a pretty gosh darn good flavor to them! Of course, both butter and honey are things that I find really quite delicious, so I suppose it should not come as a shock to me that I really like these stixs. I am …

If you have never been to Panera Bread, there is one item worth stopping for. Actually, there are several amazing treats and sandwiches available at Panera, and I have always been more than satisfied. The bagels are always fresh as is all of the bread and produce. …

I was in one of my stingy modes when I went grocery shopping at the Gaisano Country Mall, Cebu City, Philippines this weekend. While looking at the freezer containing processed and preserved foods, I was struggling with myself on what breakfast food to buy.
I saw the Payless …

I really love mashed potato. Once upon a time my favourite was KFC’s mashed potato, but back at that time I was just a kid and the only place I knew which offers mashed potato was KFC. I love the gravy so much.
Later on …

One of the side dishes I decided to make with dinner last night was sweet corn from the brand Great Value.
I have had Great Value products in the past and have been happy with them for the most part but will confess this particular item was a disappointment to …

Last few days I’ve been checking out different cheap snacks. I must admit that they were all rather cheap and that I didn’t pay for any of them more than 50 Euro cents and I was quite satisfied with some of them while I wasn’t satisfied at all with …

I like having something nice and warm to drink halfway through my day, and I decided to try Campbell’s Soup at Hand for a somewhat cheaper and quicker alternative to heading down to the cafe every day. The first flavor I tried was Cream of Broccoli.
First off, the …

I was prodded to try this new ice cream, after hearing the upbeat raves from my friend. She’d said that once I tasted the ice cream, I would never be the same. I can honestly say that she was indeed right about that.
Magnum Classic is Belgium chocolate covered …

Stouffer’s Classic Italian Deli is a fairly light yet relatively flavorful sandwich that I like to have for lunch every now and then. This is not a heavy or a rich sandwich, but it is nonetheless enjoyable. Both pepperoni and salami can be found, along with provolone and mozzerella …

I care about my health. I’m going to be 33 soon and really don’t want to see myself having a heart attack by the time I’m 40 so I am making efforts to eat right.
That’s why my wife and I decided to try Campbell’s Select Harvest Soups when they …

Roli’s Napoleones really is a wonderful pastry. This is a local pastry that was only available in Bacolod, a province in the Philippines. Napoleones is a small square-sized layered pull pastry that has a sugar glaze on top of it filled with a custard cream in its center. This …

I didn’t care very much for this frozen pizza. Except for the cheese, it was really pretty tasteless. Neither the crust nor the tomato sauce stood out. The crust was thin, although not crispy, and didn’t taste like much of anything or break real easily when bitten into. The …

I like tacos on occasion, so I thought that maybe I’d like this particular Fiesta Side from Knorr. Turns out though that this Fiesta Side doesn’t really remind me of tacos and it also didn’t impress me all that much, either. What this Fiesta Side essentially is is rice, …

One afternoon I was walking near the beach, one of those lengthy and crowded promenades of varied backgrounds, when I got thirsty and entered into a shop of those who have everything and got close to the coolers to get a bottle of water but I found a can …

It’s well known that Olive Oil is a better oil to use as it’s heart healthy but good extra virgin olive oil can be very expensive.
My sister had us over for a lovely italian meal and told me that she uses PurOliva.
I decided to give it a whirl.
It’s a …

The Hunt’s Snack Pack Pudding Cups Vanilla come in a four pack for one dollar and ninety-nine cents. Although that works out to be about fifty cents per pudding cup, I don’t think these pudding cups are worth even that. Although I’m quite fond of vanilla, I don’t think …

When my boyfriend and I were in Los Angeles to view an art exhibit, we decided to stop at Denny’s for a cheap breakfast. We decided to share the Country-Fried Steak & Eggs because it sounded like too much food for one person —“ two steaks with gravy, …

One day, I was looking for something to eat that was light—”something that would go well with an ordinary fried piece of chicken. It wasn’t until I got home that I realized that this was a “Lean Gourmet” kind of meal. This means that …

I decided to make chili dogs last night and, in the interest of not spending too much (since I didn’t get paid until today), I ended up buying a bargain brand can of chili; Our Family.
When I purchased this, I remembered buying it before. But, I couldn’t remember much …

I found these Little Debbie Snack Pie - Chocolate variety pies to be decent, although certainly not outstanding by any stretch of the means. This pie is pure chocolate on the inside and chocolate lovers are sure to go bananas over this pie, especially if they place this pie …

I love to cook desserts. I like to create desserts even when it’s not the holidays. You will be surprised at how many good recipes call for vanilla extract. I’ve tried several brands of vanilla extract but none compare to McCormick Vanilla Extract.
When I take the …

My new favorite snack to chow down when I get hungry is the Kashi TLC Dark Chocolate Whole Grain Bars. They are filling, tasty, and made with nourishing ingredients that actually help nourish my body from the inside out, which I like. I even like that, there are no …

Since I decided to convert to be a vegetarian having a tofu in almost all of my dishes at home makes my cooking even more appealing most especially that I particularly make lots of dishes that need tofu on it as a good substitute for a red meat or …

If there were no such thing as chicken nuggets, a good percentage of Americans younger than, say, 25 years old would starve. Alright, I realize that it’s a stretch, but I do know that my six year-old daughter would probably eat far less and much less often than …
