Go Raw Real Live Apricot Bar, 10 - 12 gram Bars

Go Raw Real Live Apricot Bar, 10 - 12 gram BarsI can't quite remember where I discovered these bars, but I have been eating them for several years. The texture takes a little getting used to at first; they are a bit stickier and chewier than your average "power bar"--and perhaps a little sweeter than you might expect. They hit the spot for a quick snack before the gym or in between meals, and I am gratified to know that my body is getting some much needed omega-3s and nutrients in the process!

I love apricots and like some of the other Go Raw bars. However, this product reminded me more of fruit leathers that children eat. It was even difficult to give away to my healthy eating friends. I would not repurchase.

XO Baking Co. Pancake and Waffle Mix, 16-Ounce

XO Baking Co. Pancake and Waffle Mix, 16-OunceThis is hands down the best GF pancake mix ever. My daughter and husband both very picky did not know it was GF and LOVED it. So glad I don't have to make seperate sunday breakfast for me anymore. The whole XO line is absolutely delish.

A good gluten / yeast free alternative! My wife is on a yeast free / sugar free /dairy free diet and loves these. The whole family loved these. The waffle recipe calls for adding milk we use almond milk with good results! Try adding a little vanilla or sugar free jam to the batter for an awesome taste!

My son has allergies to gluten, dairy, eggs, soy and nuts. I ordered this pancake mix to add to a long list of trials of allergy-free pancake mixes. I'm sad to say that I used the entire bag trying to make the recipe work with egg replacers and it just didn't cook. Unfortunately it was a waste of 10 bucks.

We have been gluten free for about 4 years now and I was so excited to try this new product, but my family was a little disappointed with the texture of these pancakes.

Who doesn't cringe when they hear "gluten free"? Especially kids.

THIS product is delish kids (and adults) who turn up their noses at GF love them. Texture is atypically light for GF products. A tad on the sweet side, but lots of folks like that. . they make delicious pancakes, and can subsequently be used as crepes for jam and/or fruit, or to make sandwich rolls. YUM!

Honey Bunches of Oats Honey Roasted, 18-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 5)

Honey Bunches of Oats Honey Roasted, 18-Ounce BoxesThis is not a review on the product itself, just the batch we received from Amazon. We have been buying Honey Bunches of Oats for years and love it. This is the first time I placed an order with Amazon hoping to save a little. For whatever reason, all five boxes we ordered had unprocessed pieces of corn kernels; hard, be-careful-not-to-break-your-tooth-on-it corn kernels. It was so bad we contacted Post and requested replacement. My guess is there are more boxes out there with the same issues, and as a bit of a cynic I have hard time believing Amazon wasn't aware of this. Shame on you Amazon for letting this slide!

After reading the reviews, I still decided to order this for some reason. I thought "Honey bunches is honey bunches", but I was wrong. Very stale and gritty, not enough flakes compared to what I buy in the grocery store. I'm not sure what's going on, expiration was 1 year out.

Honey Bunches of Oats is one of my favorite Breakfast Cereals. The flakes and the clusters complement each other very well. Kind of High in sugar, but it does put some more oats in my diet.

I caught this during one of the really low-priced deals. I am honestly not a big cereal person, but this stuff is so good that it's my go-to when I'm feeling a sweets craving coming on. Instead of having a bowl of ice cream for desert, I'll have some honey bunches of oats. It can't be THAT much better for me but I figure the oats instead of sugar have to do some good!

The price was great, and the cereal was great. It wasn't out of date like S&S items can sometimes be, and the expire date was reasonable enough to let me eat it all up in time. I'd definitely recommend and will buy again when the price is right; not much else to say about it :).

Want Honey Bunches of Oats Honey Roasted, 18-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 5) Discount?

Pros:

Received prompt delivery

Well packaged for this bulk item

Pricing was dirt cheap

Cons:

Opened the first box and it is nowhere near the same great tasting cereal I've eaten for years.

My opinion on the cereal in general*

If you like crunchy, sweet but not too sweet cereal this is for you. I used to eat it because I thought it was healthy yet tasty. Probably not so much, but I still love it. What is it with Americans and our attachment to favorite cereals?

PSI will update review after tasting another box. If it's the same will contact Amazon.

**UPDATE

These boxes expire on 10/13/2011 (Don't know the average for cereal, but roughly 11 months after purchase)

The taste has improved, don't know if it's because I got used to it or what. I will up the rating by one because it does not taste great.

Irish Jumbo Bangers. 1 Lb

Irish Jumbo Bangers. 1 LbThe bangers were as good as what I had when I was over seas. A+ I will buy more later. Very good product and great shipping.

The Bangers tasted just like home in England even though they are Irish Bangers!! They arrived very very quickly and safely. Anyone homesick for food from United Kingdom then this is the next best thing. Love them and will be ordering more soon!

As a first generation American I have visited family in Ireland for many years. I have always enjoyed Irish sausages daily while there, with Chef's Brown sauce of course, and a cup of Barry's gold tea. The amazing thing is now, thanks to the internet, I can have all three anytime I want. I have ordered Galtee's and Donnelly's before, but no brand, and I truly mean no brand, can compare to Tommy Maloney's. Throw them in a baking pan with a touch of olive oil in a 320' oven, turning frequenty, and you will get the most lovely, perfecty browned and tasty Irish sausage... just like they serve in Ireland. Morning or night, they never disappoint. Add a cup of strong Barry's Gold tea and you'll be transported instantly. Order Tommy Maloney's with confidence.

A McGovern from Cavan!

If we run out of this (and other) Tommy products for Breakfast on the weekends the kids and hubby really get grumpy, the black pudding, these and the thinner bangers are all GREAT!

I used then as part of my English husband's Full English breakfast for his birthday.He said they were perfect. Just like home. You could taste the Rusk.

I was glad thatI was using them the next day as the ice packet was no longer frozen and the meat products were barely cool.

Maple Walnut Granola, 1 lb.

Maple Walnut Granola, 1 lb.I'm not a fan of granola by any means: at least not until now. I have tried making my own on many occasions but the mess, expense, amount of ingredients to keep on hand and the less than satisfactory results have pretty much turned me off. I purchased this product in 3 flavors as a last ditch effort: Cherry Walnut, Almond and Maple Walnut. They arrived together in 2 days, well packaged, fresh and crunchy. Did I mention FLAVORFUL? I am a true convert. This is the best. While I like all 3, my favorite is the Maple Walnut, followed by the Almond and then Cherry Walnut (mostly because the huge dried cherries taste more like golden raisins than cherries, but still very good. I should also mention that while the dried cherries are about the size of the bowl of a teaspoon and look like they are soft and pliable, they are very hard and take a lot of careful chewing, after which they become sticky. I didn't find that texture pleasant). And when the ingredients listed walnuts or almonds, I figured it would be microscopic smooshed up pieces mixed in so small I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a sesame seed and a piece of walnut or almond. BUT, the almonds are large pieces or whole almonds while the walnuts well, the walnuts are planet-sized: sometimes 1/2 of an entire walnut and there are tons of them in a single bag of this granola. The maple walnut is the only one I find a bit on the sticky side, but not like caramel popcorn sticky-just a bit tacky. I've already used this in yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, as a snack in mid afternoon, in salads, pancakes and yesterday morning, I made Bisquick biscuits and added some of all 3 flavors as an experiment. The biscuits were marvelous. Now, if I could only remember WHAT I did so I can make them again with the same success! Try this. I don't think you'll be disappointed. If you are, you can send it to me!! :)

It was excellent, chock full of walnuts, slightly sweet, and nutritious, but compared to other brandsI thought it was overpriced.

Wonderfully tasty granola, that arrived quickly. I've bought a few items from this company and have been happy with them all so far.

This is a good all-around cereal, snack or for use in cooking. Cold with milk for breakfast, with warm milk for an evening snack or just plain as is for a quick on the go snack. I even used it in some muffins the other day. Versatile, good for you and tastes so good too.

I ordered three packages of granola and expected all three to be equally tasty. They weren't. Since I cannot remember which one was not particularly good, I'm reluctant to re-order granola from this terrific company.

Southern Rind-On Bacon by Striplings (1 pound)

Southern Rind-On Bacon by StriplingsI was so happy when I received my rind-on bacon. I haven't had it since I was a child and just the smell of the bacon cooking immediately took me back to my childhood. I will definitely order more and definitely would recommend.

Some of the best bacon I've eaten. Definitely will order more and pass this product info on to my friends.

Authentic Hollandaise Sauce - Delouis Fils - pack of 4

Authentic Hollandaise Sauce - Delouis Fils - pack of 4I've made my own Hollandaise for many years based on several recipes I was able to garner from some of the 5 star restaurant's chefs, and they were all palate pleasers. I decided to try a bottled one in order to save the time it takes to make it at home. After reading the 1st and only review for this product (which was a 5 star...I think the customer might have been trying to get someone else sucked into buying it!), I decided to try it. I purchased 4 jars. BIG mistake! This is the WORST TASTING Hollandaise I could ever imagine! Tried it at room temp, then tried heating it to see if the bitter taste would go away but to no avail. This stuff is horrible! The only nice thing about the product is the shape of the jar. I'm going to make a huge batch of my own home made Hollandaise and store it in the jars. Thought about giving the three unopened jars away, but I don't have any enemies I hate THAT much! I poured their contents down the toilet (hope it doesn't ruin my sewage system!) and thoroughly washed the bottles for my own use.

If you're looking to have a great Hollandaise sauce at home, I highly recommend you MAKE it at home!

This is a really fine hollandaise that keeps indefinitely in the fridge after being opened, or on the shelf before opening. It's just the ticket for a quick Eggs Benedict. The maker's Bearnaise is not always available, but to turn this into a creamy Bearnaise, all you have to do is microwave some tarragon in a tablespoon of butter, then stir in the Hollandaise.

I have been buying this product at Whole Foods for years, but I was thrilled to find it on Amazon, which saves me a longish drive. This is a dream product that lets the home cook prepare some really special dishes, and I recommend it highly.

I had been purchasing the same brand only in plastic containers. This is far superior, more flavor even though a little thinner, the taste is outstanding. Will buy the "jar" variety from now on.
