Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning

Slap Ya Mama Cajun SeasoningPros: Delicious on just about everything. Seller shipped quickly.

Con: Outrageous shipping costs. In order to justify it I ordered several shakers.

I enjoy spicy seasoning, but there was way-too much salt in it! You'll be drinking water all night!

I've been using this for over 5 yrs and wont try anything else. Ever since I tried other stuff, I keep coming back to this one. I also get the HOT and use it in conjunction with this one. Or the hot one in Chili is great. Im a guy so not sure of women will like it this way but i use it on my steamed veggies, meats and even sometimes eggs when I want a kick. For Split Chicken Breast with skin, I powder the top with this and a little of the Hot Version and make big slices in the meat so it can seep in. Then back for 45-50 min at 375. Good stuff!!

I wish I had heeded the other reviews that said this product was too salty. I LOVE salty food -I'm that person who no one ever wants to share fries with because I drown them in salt -so I didn't think it would be a problem for me. But even as a lover of food that is too salty, this product is WAY too salty... like, to an extreme level. It almost tastes more salty than actual plain salt, if that's possible.

It's really too bad, because the flavors are good otherwise. But it's impossible to add enough seasoning to experience the other flavors without making a weird too-much-salt face and chugging a glass of water afterwards.

This might be okay for use in cooking food that is bland to start with, like as a marinade for plain grilled chicken or maybe even as a steak rub (assuming nothing else you're using has any salt in it at all). But for anything that's slightly salty already, this is just too much. I tried it sprinkled on french fries and fried chicken, and I ended up having to wipe off the fries and throw the chicken away.

I bought this on recommendation from a southern friend and was very pleased with it. I find some seasonings to be too salty before they're too hot (spicy), but I did not find that to be the case with Slap Ya Mama. I'll be buying this again.

I purchased these for my 93 year old Grandmother. She loves pine nuts. She has seen many pine nuts in her 93 years. She declared Klein's Naturals Pine Nuts (Chinese Grade) to be the best she has ever tasted. She likes them so much she wants to give Klein's as gifts just to show off. She indicated the flavor, freshness and appearance make this a very high quality product.

I love these tasty nuts in my salad, over my steamed fish and almost in everything I eat. They have a small residual piece of fiber which is not noticeable when eaten with salads and meals but will be notice when eaten alone.

Flahavans Flakemeal Oatmeal 1.5kg

Flahavans Flakemeal Oatmeal 1.5kgAn Irish friend passed some of these along to me so that I could try them without risk and I must say, I'm impressed. My go-to porridge is Old Wessex Ltd. Scottish Style (sic) Porridge Oats but I love oats and wanted to try some from "the Auld Sod," so she very kindly surprised me with some from her personal stash.

I tend to prefer a sturdy rolled oat which these are not: they're small and thin. But they cook up to a comforting, creamy mass that's not only good with milk and a sweetener but plain with a bit of salt (which I always include) as well. The flavor is lovely--very "oatey," and like all whole grains, they stick to your ribs in a satisfying manner. Cooking one cup according to package directions yields two enormous servings that could economically and healthfully provide a delicious breakfast for several hungry children, if you're so inclined. Tip: try toasting them in the pot, stirring constantly (careful--they burn quickly), until they smell nice, then add your pre measured water and cook according to package directions.

My satisfaction was such that I was motivated to buy a bag of Flahavan's Jumbo Oat Flakes (they're also available organic) while shopping at our local Irish market yesterday and I fully expect them to be as good the Progress Oatlets. Now, if they'd just stock the Pinhead Oatmeal, I'd be a completely happy woman.

Update: not unpredictably, I like the (non-organic) Jumbo Oat Flakes even more than these and am glad I made the investment. I'd review them on their own but Amazon doesn't stock them. I'll buy the organic next time and my vendor has promised to order Flahavan's Pinhead Oatmeal as well. Since Amazon actually carries it, I'll review it once I've bought it.

BTW, the name is pronounced 'FLAvans (kinda like "taverns" without the r).

The product is very good. Best oatmeal around. This vendor is NOT. I've tried to get a response from them about the shipping and they have ignored 4 attempts. I paid for expedited shipping, which was more than the oatmeal, or the same and it arrived about 10-14 days later. They shipped it ground and took my money for 2 day shipping. All I wanted was the difference of ground/2nd day reimbursed to my account. I'll go to Ireland before I order from them again.

My family in Ireland always eats this oatmeal. It is very creamy and never lumpy. Really hits the spot on cold mornings. Sometimes I add raisins, cinnamon, brown sugar. It is wonderful and healthy too.

While in ireland, we found Whites oatmeal to be very good. Couldn't find it in U.S., so tried McCaans. Couldn"t eat it. Tried Flahavans. This is even better that Whites!! When we return to Ireland, it will be Flavahans.

My husband and I eat this every morning and never tire of it. Leagues better than American oatmeal ... wish we could get somebody here to start milling oatmeal this way. We call our morning bowl the oatmeal souffle. Not gluey. Light and delicious. I adapt the recipe on package to 1/3 cp oat flakes per serving, with one cp water. Always soak first or cook to boiling at medium. If you get distracted and it thickens too much add a bit more boiling water, cook a minute or two longer, and serve. Lowers cholesterol; great source of fiber.

Raw Revolution Organic Live Food Bar, 1.8 Ounce (12 Pack)

Raw Revolution Organic Live Food Bars, Golden Cashew, 1.8-Ounce BarsThe 'Spirulina & Cashew' bar is yet another great flavor option in the 'Raw Revolution' product line. First of all, as a bar competing against all others in the crowded 'energy/health' bar segment, it is excellent. Secondly, as a spirulina bar, it is clearly the best I have tried because it has a clean, fresh, and pleasantly subtle spirulina taste that is not overwhelming, plus it does not have the gritty texture commonly found in other spirulina bars. And, like the other 'Raw Revolution' bars, the 'Spirulina & Cashew' flavor has the right amount of sweetness.

The ingredients are what attracted me, raw and natural. However, I found them too sweet and they contain too much fat. "Good" fat, but made them too rich for me, I could only eat a few bites at a time...

I much prefer Vega Bars. They are 100% raw and are more functional, have sprouted flax, hemp protein, wheat grass, sprouted mung bean. They taste great also. [..]

These are really tasty! Don't let the green color fool you...I haven't had a snack as tasty in as long as I can remember. I keep these in my glove box for snacks. They are very filling-most times I can't finish the entire bar.

In my attempt to buy healthier snacks that don't have high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners and processed sugar, I discovered these Raw Revolution bars. They are GREAT! We've tried several flavors and love them. They are great for on-the-go snacks and are made with whole ingredients.

These bars have a pasty consistancy and are greasy with a slightly off-taste (in my opinion). They are very sweet and are, indeed, filling so they are great in the car when trying to avoid fast-food but I only like them enough to use them as a last resort. Great ingredients though and probably very good for the body.

Julia's Pantry Organic Whole Grain Yellow Grits Steel Cut, 16 Ounce

Julia's Pantry Organic Whole Grain Yellow Grits Steel Cut, 16 OunceThese are wonderfully tasty grits! Not at all like the bland stuff at my local grocery. They're not 5-minute, but they are really worth the extra time and effort.

These are ironically too gritty. The texture is completely different than any other grit I've had. I was trying to find an organic grit as opposed to commercial brands but we couldn't even eat them....

Victoria Austin

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM) As a serial cereal eater, I have had my bouts of addiction throughout my life from Apple Jacks and Count Chocula during my early childhood through an extensive adolescence with Sugar-Frosted Flakes, a short-lived health-oriented period with Bran Flakes and of course, my self-deceptive dieting tactics using Special K. My latest has been Kashi's Heart to Heart, which I find flavorful and filling. There is a slightly sweet taste which has something to do with the light honey glaze on the Cheerio-looking rings, though the most pervasive flavor is a toasted oat. I don't find a need for sugar, but I do like to pile up blueberries if I have them in the fridge.

I have to admit that I have used it as a dinner replacement on really lazy evenings. The best part is that the low-fat, low-sodium cereal is heart-friendly (thus the name) with one gram of soluble fiber per serving. The box claims 11 servings of 3/4 cup each, which for a cereal lover, is a stretch. I've been lucky to eke out eight bowls since I tend to overflow the bowl. Still, the calorie count is reasonable at 110 of which only 15 come from fat. For a price that is on par with local retailers, Amazon delivers the cereal in cases of six boxes, which I think is a reasonable medium-term amount.

Heart to Heart really is the best cereal Ive ever tasted. A couple of months ago my mom and I were shopping at Rite Aid buying toilet trees and then I came across this cereal, Heart to Heart. I looked at the back and found out that its low in calories. I had been trying to find a cereal that tasted delicious but is also low in calories and hadnt found one until I came across Heart to Heart Cereal. It also lowers cholestrol and it also lowers blood pressure. It doesnt have a bland taste like lots of low calorie cereals do; it has a honey flavor to it which is wonderful :) I eat Heart to Heart every morning, Ive lost a lot of weight (maybe because I start my day off eating Heart to Heart Cereal), and I totally recommend this cereal to anyone. You will LOVE it!

I have been eating this cereal every morning for breakfast for a few years now. It is just "heavy" enough to be satisfying until a mid-morning snack. I tried granola, but it's too "heavy" for me. I like a lighter breakfast, but need more than fruit. So this cereal is perfect. It has a mildly sweet nutty flavor and stays crunchy until the end. Reasonably priced with healthy ingredients...it's great!

This is the first oat-based cereal that I have enjoyed. I like it straight from the box, with 2% milk, or occasionally with orange juice. When I travel and may not be able to find it, I pour it into quart-sized zip-lock bags and take some with me. It's also good as a snack when flying. I've compared the label to those on other Kashi cereals, as well as the run-of-the-mill stuff, and this is better.

La Vieja Fabrica Jams

La Vieja Fabrica Jams, Strawberry Delight, 12.25 OunceMade with SEVILLE oranges, which are slightly bitter, this is a most EXCELLENT marmalade for about $4.33 a jar! This is a six pack of 13.5 ounce jars, but if u like marmalade that's not too much to have on hand, and, unopened, it keeps forever since it's acidic and canned. A worthy investment to beef up your pantry! Recommended!! Ingredients: Sugar, Seville Oranges, Citric acid. Per Tlbs: 50 calories, 13 carbs, zero fat, zero protein, zero sodium. Imported from Seville, Spain.

I love marmalade. I buy all the imported ones I can find as they are more bitter and not as cloyingly sweet as those in the USA. Thus far, my favorites have come from Ireland and the good old stand by is, of course, Keillers. But now that I've tried this, I'm sure it is far superior to any I've ever tasted. A perfect blend of bitter and sweet with a great texture.

Without doubt this is the best tasting jam I have ever tasted that is the organe mamalade flavor. It has a great balance of taste and sweetness that I just haven't found in other jams. Imported from Spain, the product must have a great source of oranges which truly delivers on the taste. I haven't tried the other flavors yet but after tasting this jam they will also get purchased as well.

I use this jam as a sweet relish on hot dogs and hamburgers, also occasionally with steak or pork chops or roasts. If a person didn't like the sweetness, it would be simple to mix some pickle relish with it (I like the sweetness, so haven't bothered) you could also add minced onion and/or peppers for a spicier relish.

I usually make my own jams, but this is a much better recipe than mine. Low sugar is a very nice plus. Naturally sweet and lovely texture. I will buy this again!
