Nestle Coffee Mate
I like drinking a lot of coffee and I always keep a tub of Nestle Coffee Mate in the cupboard for those times when I am running low on milk to put it my coffee. I do like Coffee Mate but as I drink several cups of coffee …
Cedarlane Mushroom and Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales
I knew that I should not bother purchasing the Cedarlane Mushroom and Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales. I had a feeling I was not going to like what these tamales had to offer. Yet, I did, and it goes to show that I should have stuck with my gut. The …
Cedarlane Spinach and Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales
While the Cedarlane Spinach and Monterey Jack Cheese Tamales are not exactly what I would call a meal in itself, they sure are tasty! The spinach used in these tamales is quite delicious! It is fresh and crisp and strong in taste, too! Plus, they did not go easy …
Cedarlane Burrito Grande with Salsa
The frozen dinner “Burrito Grande with Salsa” by Cedarlane is one that I find to be tasty for the most part, although I found the salsa topping to really be unremarkable in its flavor and I felt that a spicier and richer salsa could have definitely enhanced my enjoyment …
Cloverhill Bakery - Raspberry Long John Cake
The Cloverhill Bakery - Raspberry Long John Cake is my least favorite of the three flavor varieties available. Unlike the strawberry and lemon flavors, I personally find very little taste in these pastries. The raspberry flavoring seems to be pretty insignificant. I know that if I knew how to …
Cloverhill Bakery - Strawberry Long John Cake
I personally prefer the Cloverhill Bakery - Strawberry Long John Cake over all the other long john pastries that this company makes and sells in the grocery stores. It may just be because strawberry is one of my favorite flavors to let rest on my taste buds, but I …
Cloverhill Bakery - Lemon Long John Cake
The Cloverhill Bakery - Lemon Long John Cake is something that I found to be mildly satisfying. The reason I use the word mild is simply because I feel this cake could have been better, but I cannot say I was overly disappointed in because I did enjoy it. …
Cloverhill Bakery - Cinnamon Bun
The Cloverhill Bakery - Cinnamon Bun is not something that I will be looking to purchase again because I did not enjoy the bun all that much aside from the soft dough. Oh sure, it was definitely sweet, but the problem I have is, there is too much emphasis …
Tai Pei Chicken Fried Rice
Tai Pei Chicken Fried Rice is, quite frankly, terrible. Everything about this meal is incredibly mushy and, well flavorless. About all I tasted was salt and peas. This meal is positively loaded with salt, so if you are watching your sodium intake, watch out for this meal! The chicken …
Goldcrest Artichoke Bottoms
Fresh artichokes are often expensive and what’s worse, it is a seasonal vegetable which you can only find when it is in “season”. When my husband asks for artichokes, I buy the Goldcrest Artichoke Bottoms which are in cans. The can is very practical to have as you don’t …
Ducros Spices
I cook all sorts of dishes from European to Asian cuisines. In my home, variety is the key to keep my family interested in coming home to eat their meals at the house and not elsewhere. In addition, as there are not too many reputable restaurants here, dining …
Mama Cozzi Pizza
I buy a lot of items at Aldi’s grocery stores. Most are pretty good and, save me money. However, they have a frozen pizza line called Mama Cozzi that is really disappointing. In my 6 year old daughter’s opinion (which I value highly), the final verdict is “Eweeyuck!” I …
Ritz Crackers
Ritz Crackers are just about the only crackers I can think of which are tasty enough to eat on their own. They are small, only two inches in diameter, so I sometimes just pop one or two in my mouth for a quick snack. They are crisp …
Keebler Chips Deluxe Cookies (Mini Rainbow)
I love chocolate and it’s especially hard for me to resist buying things like chocolate muffins and cookies when I go on a diet. For example, the last few times I went to the supermarket and went over the snacks section, I spotted the Keebler Chips Deluxe Mini Rainbow …
Keebler Fudge Shoppe Fudge Sticks
This week I bought my first package of Keebler Fudge Shoppe Fudge Sticks in quite some time. I have had them before, but it’s been awhile since I purchased them. I was in the mood for something different, though, and these were on sale, so it was …
Snickers Bar
I would not like to guess how many Snickers chocolate bars I have bought in my lifetime, but they are an absolute classic. As a Brit, I defiantly continued to refer to them as ‘Marathons’ for ages after the name was changed in 1990 as they were so …
Knorr Bean soup with pasta
My mother never used to make bean soups when I was little so I never had the opportunity to eat nor to get used to it. Actually she was preparing something like minestrone with beans but never a bean soup so when my friend offered me to try Knorr …
Cloverhill Bakery - Blueberry Donuts
Some supermarket grocery stores carry blueberry donuts made by Cloverhill Bakery. If your supermarket does not, do not worry, you are really not missing out on anything all that good. While I will say that the blueberry donuts are tastier than the cherry and strawberry donuts, the donuts still …
Cloverhill Bakery - Cherry Donuts
Cloverhill Bakery makes packaged cherry donuts that can be found in supermarkets. I personally wish that I would not have come across these donuts because then I would have never tried them. While the cherry donuts are certainly not what I would consider horrible, I must say that I …
Cloverhill Bakery - Strawberry Donuts
If you are at a grocery store and you come across strawberry donuts from Cloverhill Bakery, I recommend that you just walk right on by and do not pick them up. I purchased these donuts and I was disappointed in them because I did not find a good, noticeable …
Cadbury Flake
This chocolate is one of my latest addictions. I have been seeing this chocolate in a lot of supermarkets a few months backs, but I always bypass it. I never thought I would like it. However, while travelling in Namibia, I finally bought 3 pieces of this chocolate …
Mars Planets bars
I always like to try new chocolate bars and as I like Mars bars I thought I would try a packet of Mars Planets. These are basically little milk chocolate balls with three different centers – chewy, crispy and soft – which are supposed to be the different …
Conditorei Coppenrath and Wiese Toffee Cheesecake
Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese are a Germany company and today I picked up their Toffee Cheesecake from my local supermarket Heron for only £1.25. Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts and I thought that was a good price. I prefer chocolate or toffee cheesecakes to fruit …
Quaker Oats Quick Cook Oatmeal
For my breakfast, I always love to eat different food everyday. I don’t want to eat the same kind of food each day. But to start a day, I love having wheat or oatmeals. I always want to eat something healthy and stay healthy. But I don’t want to …
Milo 3-in-1 For Adults with Actigen E
I have to be honest, I am already in my mid-20’s but I am not among the people of my generation who just loves coffee. I can survive a day without a coffee and I prefer not to drink coffee. Although there are very rare occassions wherein a friend …
Great Value Chocolate Chip Cookies
As part of my household’s cutting-back budget, we have begun buying staples like shampoo from the dollar store and switching to generic and store brands of other things, especially foods.As such, we recently purchased our first tube of non-Toll House chocolate chip cookies and made the switch to Wal-Mart’s …
Tropicana Twister with Real Orange Pulp (Orange Juice)
With the flu virus always around us, it is important that we keep ourselves healthy to prevent being caught by this virus. I am always health concious and I do my best to eat and drink something which is good for my health. Well, orange juice or any fruit …
Nesvita Oatmeal
Oatmeal is always a perfect breakfast choice for people who are always in a hurry, who never had enough time to cook in the morning because of rush hour and fear of being late at work. I am one of these people and one of millions who consumed oatmeal …
McVities Penguin Biscuits
I remember my mum used to get Penguin biscuits in for me when I was a kid. They are very appealing to children as in a packet, each biscuit is individually wrapped, each one in a different bright color, with an arty picture of a penguin on the …
McVities Jaffa Cakes
Good old McVities Jaffa Cakes were around when I was a girl and they do not seem to have changed at all. I looked them up on the internet out of interest and they have actually been around since 1927 which shows what a winning formula they are …
San Mig Coffee Extra Strong
I love coffee and tea (but mostly coffee). When I have the time, I prepare it myself, brewing it as strong as I can. But I usually do not have the luxury of time, and so I have tried looking for instant coffee that is really strong. I stumbled …
Green Isle Crispy Golden Pancakes Triple Cheese
When I bought these Green Isle Crispy Golden Pancakes I was taken back to my childhood when Findus, I think, brought out a range of pancakes I used to like. I was a bit disappointed as these are not the same and are not as nice but I …
Roma Three-Meat Pizza
I came home for lunch today and was surprised my wife made a pizza for the two of us. I was thrilled about this, of course, until I actually tried it.
I have had Roma pizzas in the past and was looking forward to the 3-meat one we had in …
Girl Scouts’ Lemonades
Girl scout cookies are pretty popular. Everybody has their favorites, a lot of people really seem to dig the thin mints. We bought like, a year’s supply quite some time ago and we still have a ton of boxes left. Surprisingly, they’re still good. I, …
Nescafe Chocolate Flavored Coffee Mix (Choco Fudge)
My family loves coffee and tea. But we are lazy to prepare one from scratch and so we make do with prepared coffee or tea mixes. My mother loves to buy Nescafe Chocolate Flavored Coffee Mix in Choco Fudge while I prefer hazelnut flavor. When I ran out of …
Owl Teh Halia Instant Ginger Milk Tea
My extended family is addicted to coffee and tea. Wherever we go, we try to sample the local version of coffee and tea and discoveries are shared freely during family gatherings or in our online group. A cousin who works in Singapore sent over packets of Teh Halia Instant …
Sunsweet Prune Juice
I have got into the healthy habit of drinking a small glass of Sunsweet Prune Juice every morning with my breakfast and I have noticed a difference to my digestive system. I have to admit that I do not like prunes at all and since trying them as …
Tesco Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake
Cheesecake is one of my all time favorite desserts but it has to be a quality cheesecake or I will not buy it. I find a lot of cheesecakes to be a let down but this Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake from Tesco is delicious. I only recently discovered …
Mars Ice Cream
I know we are approaching winter but I am reviewing the Mars Ice Cream anyway because I buy this in for my freezer all year round, they are so delicious. They are basically small choc ices – shorter and fatter than Mars bars – with the same milk …
Balconi Mix Max Chocolate Snack Cakes
Dolciaria Balconi is a famous brand of confectionary in Italy and at my local bargain Lidl supermarket I picked up a packet of Balconi Mix Max for a mere 99 pence. I thought this was a bargain because you get ten of these snack bars in a packet …
Willards Cheese and Onion
I love snacking even though it is not so good on my waistline what will all those salt, fat and empty calories. But these are what make chips so tasty and good to eat they are nearly as sinful as chocolates. Salty snacks are my favorites and when I …
Kraft Manhattan Gummi Land
I purchased these sweets for my kids who deserve the occasional treat once they finished their homework. My oldest daughter is particularly hooked on sweets. As I saw it was from Kraft I thought they must taste good. I also looked at the see through cellophane and thought it …
Cloverhill Bakery - Jumbo Chocolate Honey Bun
The Cloverhill Bakery - Jumbo Chocolate Honey Bun is not something that I will be purchasing again. It really was not something that I found to be satisfying in any sense of the word. I much, much prefer the non-chocolate version of this honey bun because the chocolate variety …
Cloverhill Bakery - Jumbo Glazed Honey Bun
While I most certainly cannot say that the Cloverhill Bakery - Jumbo Glazed Honey Bun offers much at all in terms of nutritional value, I most definitely can say that it is full of flavor and filling as well! The sugar and the honey certainly do a number on …
Cloverhill Bakery - Cream Cheese Danish
The Cloverhill Bakery - Cream Cheese Danish is a tasty pastry that I think will appeal to those that enjoy the flavor of cream cheese and do not mind some sweet icing. Maybe some is a little bit of an understatement considering there is actually quite a bit of …
Cloverhill Bakery - Strawberry Cheese Danish
The Cloverhill Bakery - Strawberry Cheese Danish is a little better than the cherry cheese danish, although I do personally feel that it could stand some improvement. The improvement that I am referring to is a richer strawberry flavor because the strawberry flavor that is in place now, while …
Cloverhill Bakery - Bear Claw
The Cloverhill Bakery - Bear Claw is something that I was only mildly satisfied in when I tried it. The reason I was not blown away with this pastry is in part due to me not being able to taste much almond flavor. That is, after all, the main …
Cloverhill Bakery - Blueberry Cheese
The Cloverhill Bakery - Blueberry Cheese danish is one that I really do not care for very much. Part of the reason that I was disappointed in this danish is because I did not find the blueberry flavor to be particularly rich or impressive. While I could most certainly …
Cloverhill Bakery - Cherry Cheese Danish
The Cloverhill Bakery Cherry Cheese Danish is a danish that at first, I did not care for too much, but after my first one, the taste began to grow on me. While I cannot say that I am not positively crazy about this danish variety, I can say that …
Cloverhill Bakery - Apple Danish
I do wish that the Cloverhill Bakery Apple Danish had a richer cinnamon flavor to offer to complement the apple flavoring, but unfortunately, this danish falls somewhat sort when it comes to the cinnamon. At times, I had a difficult time tasting the cinnamon and that left this pastry …
