Cathy Ferguson‘s winning Montreal Deli Style Dip for Recipe to Riches comes in a small $3.99 container but packs a punch of flavour. I wish the packaging did more to share Cathy’s amazing personality. It was the only part of her product that was a tad bland because her food was not. Serving it Cold It is […]
2012 President’s Choice Holiday Insider’s Report: Part 2
Click here for Part 1 of the PC Holiday’s Insider’s Report reviews: chips, chocolate and tortas! Part 2 consists of even more snack food. I saved the best for last! Snack Mix Asian-Style I absolutely love the sesame crackers that come with the Snack Mix Asian-Style. It is interesting they added wasabi (and horseradish) peas to the […]
Don Harquail’s President’s Choice & Recipe to Riches Triple Nut Toffee
Don Harquail‘s Triple Nut Toffee is the winning treat from Recipe to Riches‘ exciting new category: Candies and Chocolates! A toffee filled with nuts smeared over graham crackers and topped with buttons of chocolate was definitely an innovative idea. I love that they incorporated Don’s magic touch with orchids in the depiction of him, as well as that […]

Product Review: G.H. Cretors’ Popped Corn
Flavoured popcorn… One of my favourite treats, especially for movie-watching! With Reg and I both being sick for weeks now, we have been home watching a lot of movies and G.H. Cretors‘ flavoured popcorns kept us company and alive for days. “It all began in 1885 when Great Grandpa Cretors invented the popcorn machine and […]
President’s Choice Recipe to Riches Mini Cheesy Bees’ Nest
Lucky me! I got to try the winning product for the Recipe to Riches desserts category right away. The winner is Jay Keary of Nerepis, NB, and his recipe was for Mini Cheesy Bees’ Nests. I love his heavy metal rock star attitude and totally disagree with the marketing group who insisted “bees’ nest” was unappealing. I think […]
Coffee Soda Float & U-Fizz Kit Product Reviews
The Artisan Soda Workshop let me down with their homemade Fresca and failed to wow me with their apricot soda. As a result I was a little nervous about making their coffee soda float but it just sounded too damn cool not to make. Also in this post is a review for ThinkGeek’s U-Fizz Drink Carbonation Kit […]

Product Review: Awake Caffeinated Chocolate
When I read the email that said Awake Caffeinated Chocolate was on its way to my doorstep, I laughed and kind of said, “Noooooo!” at the same time. Oh man, I thought. This product is not for me. Each bar contains 101 mg of caffeine. According to their product information, it has the same caffeine […]
