Dollar Tree Bakery Fresh Molasses Cookies
I’ve only come across these cookies at the Dollar Tree. They sell a couple different varieties, and they’re all pretty good. Molasses cookies tend to be really chewy because of, well, the molasses. These cookies are no exception. They are indeed very chewy, and they are especially good when …
Mango Sorbet
Mango is one of my favorite flavors and I even love the fake mango flavor used in candy that doesn’t usually taste anything like the real fruit. New Zealand Ice Cream is kind of hit or miss with me, while some of their flavors are worth the inflated price …
Farley’s Rusks
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- …
Harvest Snacks Chill’n Ranch Tortilla Chips
These tortilla chips proved to be a disappointment because they are supposed to be ranch flavored, but I tasted very little ranch on the tortilla chips. I could have almost mistaken the tortilla chips for being plain had the bag not had the word “ranch” on the front. I …
TGI Fridays Buffalo Wings (Frozen)
If you want the taste of buffalo wings like you would get at a restaurant, but dont’t want to leave your house, try these great buffalo winfs by TGI fridays. They arn’t as good as if you had gne to the restaurant and purchased them, but they still …
Yo Mama Frozen Yogurt, Hong Kong
I love frozen yogurt and I need my fix at least once a week. I went to a trip to Hong Kong and surprisingly, yogurt isn’t everywhere unlike in Manila. When I saw the Yo Mama shop in Windsor House, Causeway Bay, I of course tried it …
Itsy Bitsy Cookies
I’m not sure if it’s a Jamaican product, but Itsy Bitsy cookies first came on the Jamaican market in the nineteen nineties. I can remember because I was in prep school at the time and many of the children there used to carry them to school or even trade …
Tazo Organic Chai Spiced Black Tea
I recently picked up a box of the Tazo Organic Chai Spiced Black Tea and I must say it is so tasty. I love that this tea is made from organic ingredients such as black teas, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger root, cardamom, cloves and star anise. These ingredients combined …
Quick Eaze Gravy Mix
Quick Eaze Gravy Mix is what my kids call the cheating way to make gravy. I guess they call it that because as the name implies it is easy to make gravy from their mix. All you do is add 1 cup of cold water to the season packet …
Almond Crunch from The Classic Confections
Like most people, I adore chocolates. I especially like them with almonds. I read about an allegedly delicious concoction in a magazine that is baked and sold exclusively by The Classic Confections. They started out as a home business making delicious desserts with chocolate cake as their bestseller. Eventually …
Golden Fiesta Cooking Oil
I normally do not eat fried or deep fried foods. However, for days that I want to fry something, I use the correct oil required for the correct diet. Olive oil is the most heart-friendly material but it is very expensive. There are lots of locally-produced oil in my …
Coffee Compliment
I think Coffee Compliment is a long standing brand of coffee whitener as I am sure I can remember it from my childhood. According to the label it is a blend of dried glucose syrup, hydrogenated vegetable oil and milk proteins. So it is more than just …

Cedarlane Three Layer Enchilada Pie
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. …
Veetee Dine In Basmati Rice and Mushroom
Rice seems to be such a simple thing to cook but I have not yet mastered the art of getting it right ie. nice and fluffy and separated. But I love rice and this packet of Veetee Dine In Basmati Rice and Mushroom looked so tempting on the …
Giant Chewy Sweetarts
One of my roommates in college really loved the chewy sweetarts but she especially loved the sour ones. I never really liked sour candy and the smell alone was enough to drive me crazy. I never really liked the candy at all, but I was kind of intrigued when …

Multi Grain cheerios
The other day I was at my friends house and I spent the night so when morning came around I was pretty hungry for breakfast. There wasn’t really anything good to eat. I didn’t want any pop tarts that were high in sugar and there wasn’t much good …
Little Debbie Marshmallow Pies - Chocolate
I like these Little Debbie Marshmallow Pies - Chocolate variety more than the banana variety because at least these chocolate flavored ones have some flavor! The chocolate flavor is much richer and more authentic than the banana variety. Where as with the banana variety, the banana flavor was detrimental, …
Betty Crocker Homestyle Creamy Butter Mashed Potatoes
Betty Crocker Homestyle Creamy Butter Mashed Potatoes is the most recent variety of these pouched, easy cooking mashed potato products that I’ve tried. I buy them because they are about as quick and easy as you can get when it comes to cooking mashed potatoes.

Milo is the tonic food drink my kids are enjoying everyday. Because of their being actively involved in sports and other extra-curricular activites, they need an energy drink to sustain them to finish their tasks. I have been trying many products in the market but …
Don Miguel Beef & Cheese Mini Tacos
These little taco bites offer quite a bit of flavor for something so small. I admit that my expectations weren’t that high for these small tacos, but maybe that’s part of the reason I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor they had to offer. First of all, the exterior …
Izze Sparkling Clementine Beverage
I am no stranger to the brand Izze. As a person who is trying to set aside soda, Izze sparkling beverages are life savers. Which is how I came to try Izze Sparkling Clementine. As you can imagine, I was not hesitant in grabbing a few of bottles.
What I …

Jimmy Dean Croissant Sandwiches - Meal Size
I’ve eaten similar products to Jimmy Dean Croissant Sandwiches, but not this exact one until now. Specifically, this is the ‘Meal Size’ version, which contains four croissant sandwiches to a box. These croissants are a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich.
The ‘meal size’ sandwiches are, indeed, larger than …
Little Debbie Be My Valentine Cakes - Vanilla
I find these Little Debbie Be My Valentine Cakes - Vanilla variety to be a tasty treat to have during the month of February. Since it is a Valentine’s Day treat, it is shaped after a heart. I really like vanilla, more so than chocolate, so I like these …

I like Mentos candies very much because they are very good and also they don’t make me hungry after I eat them as they are not too sweet. I used to buy them very often and I always had them in my purse so I could eat one or …
Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes
I’ve eaten Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes since I was a little kid. My parents raised me on Kellogg’s cereal, and this one has always been my favorite. Whether Tony the Tiger had something to do with it, I don’t know, but the taste of the crunchy corn flakes …
Yoplait Original Strawberry Kiwi Yogurt
I was shopping in the dairy selection of my neighborhood Walmart, looking to stock up on yogurt. Usually I go for my favorite most trusted brand, but I’m all for trying new brands when the opportunity shows itself. Given that I’ve indulged in Yoplait in the past, I didn’t …
Kelloggs Multi grain Peanut Butter Cheerios
I had not even heard of peanut butter cheerios before but must admit that the thought has crossed my mind that there should be more peanut butter flavored cereals. So, when I walked in to Wal Mart I was so excited to see that my dream came …
Lean Pocket Ham and Cheese
Because of my previous experience with the Lean Pocket Philly cheese steak, I wanted to expand my lunch menu to another pastry sandwich: The Lean Pocket ham and cheese. I’ve had the Hot pocket ham and cheese and they are the best, so I thought the Lean Pocket ham …
Selecta Choco Almond Fudge Ice Cream
Selecta has done it again. With this new flavor, they have created another “supreme”.

Solevita Orage Juice

The container of the juice is blue with big oranges …
Alpine Sterilized Full Cream Milk Drink (Reconstituted)
I was looking for Nestle Sterilized milk at Mercury Drug convenient store when I came across Alpine Sterilized milk. What I know with Alpine is the one in purple and in can. This is the first time I learned that like Nestle they already have one that is in …
Lero Green tea with lemon fruit juice
I’ve always liked Green tea but never the one you have to prepare by yourself because that one always tastes really bad, it is very bitter and it really stinks, specially when it gets little bit cold. So now I don’t even buy those green tea bags, if I …
Eggo BakeShop Swirlz Strawberry
Remember those ads on tv in the early 90’s for PopTarts? They basically said that PopTarts were a complete breakfast. Of course I never believed it. Well, I wouldn’t rely soley on Eggo BakeShop Swirlz for breakfast to get me through the day. However, it’s excellent as brunch, a …
Goldilocks Fresh Lumpia

Java Monster from monster brand energy drinks, are hands down my favorite energy drinks. The Irish Blend Java monster is by far my favorite of all of these. It tastes similar to a cup of coffee with a shot of Bailey’s, or Irish creme in it. I used to …

Millville Honey Nut Crispy Oats Cereal
“Millville Honey Nut Crispy Oats Cereal” is a cereal that I purchased at Aldi as a cheaper alternative to “General Mills Honey Nut Cheerios”. At Aldi, for a 12.25 ounce box, I paid approximately $1.49. It’s a pretty good value compared to what the stores want for the national, …

Mrs. Freshley’s Old Fashioned Brownie
Here is yet another brownie from Mrs. Freshley’s that I simply did not find all that remarkable or satisfying at all. Mrs. Freshley’s Old Fashioned Brownie is a little different from the other brownies made by the company, but I must stress the word “little”. I really do not …
