Green Mountain Coffee, Dark Magic (Extra Bold), K-Cups for Keurig Brewers

Dark Magic is for coffee drinkers searching for something bolder than the breakfast blends and flavored coffees ubiquitous on supermarket shelves. Whether it will satisfy depends on what you normally buy at coffee shops. My wife favors a latte or mocha, so she found Dark Magic too strong. I prefer an Americano,...

Lyons Original Irish Tea. 80 Bags

I first tried this unforgetable tea while visiting Ireland for the first time. I was hooked. I never went back to coffee again. It is mild without the usual after taste that you sometimes get with tea. Try it with whole milk for a most satisfying flavor. It is the best tea I have ever had. Since returning to...

Life Cereal Cinnamon, 15-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

This is one of my family's favorite cereals. Even my son likes it, and that's saying a lot. It's light and crunchy, full of cinnamon flavor with just a touch of sweetness.Low in fat and calories, sugar is not too bad in my book (that's always debatable depending on who you ask, but I don't think 8 grams per...

Malt-O-Meal Original Hot Wheat Cereal 28 oz - 4 Unit Pack

"Childhood's Calling," or so the slogan goes for Rice Crispies. But I do indeed associate Malt-O-Meal with childhood. I bought this product because I wanted a quick hot breakfast, and unfortuantely, many stores in the DC metro area do not seem to carry this hot cereal. Thankfully, Amazon does. I love the wheaty...

Froot Loops Cereal, Sweetened Multigrain, 17-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 3)

This is a 3 pack and the price is pretty darn good, this price is cheaper than you'll find 17oz boxes on sale in the local supermarket. But you'd have to buy 3, but that's not a hardship for those who love this cereal. However, I've noticed that the new boxes with the word "Fiber" on it taste a little different...

Fiber One Chewy Bars Oats & Chocolate 36- 1.4 Oz Bars

I looooooooove Fiber One bars! The Oats & Chocolate flavor is my favorite. They taste soooo good! We buy them in the big packs at BJ's because my husband & I each have at least 1 every day. They are filling enough that I can eat that for breakfast, or for a quick snack on-the-go. We used to eat Quaker...

Bakery On Main - Granola Gluten Free Nutty Cranberry Maple Family Size

Any and all of the Bakery on Main cereals are a hit at our house. They are gluten free, first and foremost, but they taste really good, too, so that is also plus.this is the most delicious granola I have ever had. It id crunchy and sweet and goes great with yogurt.Buy Bakery On Main - Granola Gluten Free Nutty...

Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Steel Cut Oats -- 24 oz

I had never eaten steel cut oats before and didn't realize that they took 10-20 minutes to cook. We usually eat them on weekends when we have more time in the morning. They are very tasty!My family ate oatmeal everyday for breakfast as long as I could remember. But it made me sick and I eventually stopped eating...

Aunt Jemima Old Fashioned Grits, 80 oz, 2 pk

Suprise that Aunt Jemima now carries Grits and in my opinion they are FANTASTIC!! They are certainly going to be at the top of my grocery list. Packaging needs improving it was hard to find a bag of Grits on the grocery shelf that was not ripp...

Green Mountain Coffee, Breakfast Blend Decaf KCups, K-Cups for Keurig Brewers, 12 Count Box

This is some of the best coffee I have ever tasted. I served it after dinner on Christmas and got rave reviews from everyone!!Thought I would try it, since the store was out of Folger's Decaf. Very disappointed; a weak,flavoless brew with a strange aftertaste. I cannot recommend it.Buy Green Mountain Coffee,...

Bewley's Gold Blend Tea Bags 80's

I'm really a coffee drinker, but after drinking this every day in Ireland, I'm hooked. Brew up a nice strong pot, pour in some milk and enjoy with some biscuits (That's cookies over here).I was highly recommended to stop at Bewley's Cafe while I was in Dublin, and was definitely not disappointed. The lingering...

Nature's Path Organic Toaster Pastries, Frosted Berry Strawberry, 12-Count Boxes (Pack of 6)

First, let me say that I do NOT like regular Pop-Tarts. I've tried them, and they tasted like overly-sweetened cardboard with a definite strange aftertaste. I'd only eat one again if there was absolutely nothing else in the house.I tried Nature's Path Organic Frosted Strawberry Toaster Pasteries simply because...

PranaBar Organic Energy Bars (Pack of 24)

These bars are great tasting and mine are VERY fresh. They also are much healthier than other bars that you can take on the go. My husband and grown kids also love them so they are going fast at my house.It is great to have bars like these that you can take on trips. I travel a lot for work and it is so nice...

Glutino Gluten Free Breakfast Bars, 7.1 Ounce

Being a cherry flavor enthusiast, I had high hopes for these. My first bar was quite burned. So it tasted a bit ashy. It was chewy and not the most pleasant consistency. The cherry jelly inside was kind of tough. It reminded me more of a cookie than it did a breakfast bar.I'm going to try warming these for 15...

Emerald Blend Premium Trail Mix, 5.5 Ounce Pouches (Pack of 6)

Purchased these during a fantastic Grocery Deals promotion. I am in my car a lot for work and find that I don't eat properly. One of my NY Resolutions was to at least find healthier ways of eating poorly :) . The best thing about this mix is NO RAISINS. I am one of those people that dislike raisins and it has...

Healthy Times Organic Baby Food, 4-Ounce Jars

It's much wateryer than I expected, and that's good. Muesli can be too thick for babies still being spoon fed. Baby boy eats it more voraciously than other products (Earth's Best, Happy Baby, all the other organic&healthy pre-packaged baby foods. Love the price, too. And the subscription feature is fabulous....

J&D's Bacon Salt Sampler 4-pack

Like so many others, we love bacon but must avoid it for health reasons. So when we heard of this product -and its companion spread, Baconnaise -we ordered every flavor made, for ourselves and for gifts to family and friends, from Amazon and from the company website.We weren't disappointed. Every flavor is authentically,...

Bar Sesame and Peanuts with Chocolate (12 Bars) 1.40 Ounces

I would check on expiration date with the seller before making a purchase. I ordered a variety of the bars. Several were close to expiring. HOWEVER they are delicious and overall was satisfi...

Life Cereal, Maple and Brown Sugar, 13-Ounce (Pack of 4)

When I first tried this cereal I was reminded of maple and brown sugar oatmeal I had as a kid. It has a great maple flavor, the texture and consistency is very much like regular Life cereal. It doesn't have a real sugary taste, just the maple flavor stands out. The flavor added to milk is outstanding. You could...
