Brand Name Food Products

Pros: Easy & fast to prepare
Cons: None

We first bought Kraft Easy Mac 'n Cheese several months ago, after much pleading & begging from our 2 children. I was a bit hesitant at first as this product is prepared in the microwave, but after preparing it the first time - I was hooked!
...

Pros: Easy and convenient
Cons: A bit pricey

First let me say that I am a tea drinker. I drink tea all day. But I do love a good cup of coffee and always order coffee when we go out to restaurants. It's a delicious change of pace for me. Since I don't drink much, it is a waste for me to make a...

Pros: Tastier,more tender, quicker cleanup
Cons: none

I started using Reynolds Oven Bags about two years ago. I saw them on my grocery's shelf while looking for sandwich bags. I read the package and decided that I would give them a try. Now I am never without them in my pantry.

The oven bags come...

Pros: good flavor, melts real good, cheap
Cons: it's not butter

I know this is a very weird thing to write an epinion about-margarine. Actually it is almost embarrassing to add this to my collection of
fine;0) writing, but I think someone needs to cover this area. I am a butter freak. I hate margarine. It...

Pros: No Calories
Cons: Lacks Some Flavor, Price

Lately I was in one of our local dollar stores and saw Crystal Light on the shelf.

First off, I know what you're saying! A dollar store? Yup, everything is a dollar. Secondly, you're probably saying, are the products still good? I always...

Pros: Fresh, quality, easy to use, convenient, no calories.
Cons: Unsure if it can be found in every grocery.

THIS STUFF IS GREAT! My mother-in-law has a cabinet full of jars filled with spice concoctions that have weird names, have been there for at least a decade and which all taste artificial. I was extremely reluctant to try Cajun's Choice creole seasoning...

Pros: Delicious light muffins, great tasting topping
Cons: A bit more expensive than other brands

I discovered Duncan Hines Blueberry Muffin mix when I was pregnant for the first time. I had a craving for blueberries and the box advertised that it included fresh wild blueberries. Yum! Actually, I needed to increase the amount of fruit I was eating,...

Pros: Price, homemade taste
Cons: none

I love to cook but I am a person who likes to make my own recipes especially during the holidays but this last Christmas I had too much to do and my time was running out. I still had 20 dozen cookies to make so I resorted to buying a boxed cookie mix....

Pros: Great Caribbean jerk rub.
Cons: Turned my kitchen into a pepper-spray plant!

I'm sure that this sounds strange to many. We LOVE Big Bubba's Rubba jerk rub--when grilling outdoors. However, we hungered for jerk chicken in January--in New England, and when I broiled it in the kitchen oven I drove us right out of the house! There...

Pros: You'll easily look like an international, gourmet chef.
Cons: You need to be a bit daring.

OK-so it's not "Kraft" or "Heinz", but if you like Indian food, adding the Sharwood brand name to your kitchen shelves is a great idea! Sharwood is a UK company which is a category leader in ethnic food manufacturing. They make a wide...

Pros: Great vanilla flavor
Cons: pricey

Now don't get me wrong... I am a chocolate hound. I love just about anything with chocolate, but hold the chocolate covered bugs please.
When I went to a friends house and she pulled out a carton of Breyers Vanilla ice cream, scooped it into bowls...

Pros: Iams dog food is great for your dog's coat and body, and you can find it for 1/2 price on Pets.com
Cons: none.

(Note, this is a repost of a review I posted in a wrong category. Although this category isn't entirely appropriate either, I think this review will find more dog owners who will profit from my experience in purchasing dog food. This is NOT an attempt...

Pros: Rich and flavorful, goes on sale a lot.
Cons: A little expensive at regular price.

I'm not a big ice cream fanatic. My husband, on the other hand, is. He likes any flavor and can eat the whole container if I would let him. Recently our local grocery store had Breyer's ice cream on sale 2 for $5. I believe this is quite a lot off of the...

Pros: Tasty, easy, convenient and cheap.
Cons: It isn't cooked by someone else!

Sun Bird products have been around for a long time. They don't advertise (so their name isn't well known), they're cheap (so they're not thought of as fine dining)...but, when combined with meat and some fresh veggies they make a terrific tasting,...

Pros: great tasting cookies
Cons: none

Did you know that Girl Scout Cookies are the 3rd highest cookies sold in the US? If you didn't know, they are. I guess that explains that they are the best cookies. You can only get them by buying them from a Girl Scout and a portion of the money goes...
