Ener-G Egg Replacer -- 16 oz

Ener-G Egg Replacer -- 16 ozI was so happy to find this product since my son has a severe egg allergy, but I was a little skeptical at first.

How well could it possibly work to flavor and bind food? Well, it's AWESOME!!!

I've used it in baked goods like muffins and cakes and it comes out perfectly.

This year I used it in our pumpkin pies and everyone in the family said it was the best they've tasted.

Also did some french toast with it. Even though the box says you can't make "scrambled eggs" with it I thought it was

worth a try since I just needed to dip them in the egg, milk mixture. Well, needless to say, we had to buy more bread

because we wanted to have french toast again the next day. =)

To begin with I am a vegetarian and do not have eggs. My review will be in 2 parts

1. For the seller: When I received my first package, it was damaged and the product spilled. On raising a complaint I was promptly provided a replacement and the overall service was courteous. Full marks to VitaCost

2. For the product: Ener-G Egg Replacer is a blessing for all those who don't eat or bake eggs. I have already used it for chocolate cookies and cake and the results are far superior than anything else I have used so far. Definitely recommend this product.

This is a must have in the kitchen for anyone who doesn't, or can't (i.e. allergies) eat eggs, and still wants to bake things. I'm a vegan, and I use egg-replacer all the time in my recipes. It's also just healthier than eggs, because it is plant based and doesn't have any cholesterol.

I'm a vegan and I've used and love this product many time in many recipes.I recommend this as a egg re-placer in all your recipes that call for eggs.

On the box it states it doesn't work well with most boxed mixes but I used it just fine! For cupcakes I used it with Betty Crocker's Super Moist Chocolate Fudge Cake mix with success.. Some tips: 1) Mix all the ingredients before adding this. It should be the last thing added at the end, mixed in, then immediately put what you're baking in the oven. 2) When it gives you the ratio of mix to water, I added just a tiny bit extra...like 1/2 tsp. 3) When mixing it to the water, use WARM water and remember to mix it with the water in a separate bowl until the lumps come out before adding it to your batter. 4) Keep in mind eggs would normally add substance to what you bake so without the eggs the end product is super light and airy....a little too much so. I personally recommend adding a little fruit/veggie to the batter to add substance and nutrition. (Black beans or zucchini for chocolate, apple or pumpkin for a spice bread, beets to a red velvet cake, etc.)5) What you're making won't rise much with this so fill your cake/cupcake tins a little bit more than you would if you weren't using this product....until you get a feel for how much your baked goods will rise with it in there I'd be safe and put foil or something under the pan in case there is spillage. For my cakes/cupcakes I usually fill them about 3/4 of the way up and they come out just right.

Klein's Naturals Raisins, Organic, 12-Ounce Tubs (Pack of 6)

Klein's Naturals Raisins, Organic, 12-Ounce TubsI have had better organic raisins. They are super duper sweet. I had two other brands already opened when I bought thse. These were far sweeter but less flave. Some may prefer that. Small and over sweet. Still. This is better than nonorganic.

Packaging is terrible. Most containers opened in shipping and caused dried up raisins, I thought. One container,of six, was sealed. Even the sealed raisins were dry. Pretty tasteless too.

Bar, Nugo, Family, Coffee - 15/1.76 oz,(Nugo Nutrition Bar)

Bar, Nugo, Family, Coffee - 15/1.76 oz,(Nugo Nutrition Bar)My family loves these...even my kids age 13, 15 and 16 use them for their backpacks and before althletics. This is their favorite flavor...it is not waxy at all, no bad aftertaste or gritty waxy feel in the mouth. I love how much protein is in them and the low calories...170! With the glycemic index being as it is, we stay full for longer...not the ups and downs of the high sugar rush.

Beech-Nut Stage 3 Homestyle Whole Grain Cereal w/ Raspberries - 12 pk

Beech-Nut Stage 3 Homestyle Whole Grain Cereal w/ Raspberries - 12 pki am very impartial to the these baby products from various brands. I feed them because they are easy and convenient. these product mentions that they are homestyle but any parents who tasted these food will tell you that they are anything but homestyle. I have this gripe about their marketing and nothing against the food.

Traditional Irish Breakfast Links. 1lb

Traditional Irish Breakfast Links. 1lbOur family loved the breakfast sausages that we had in Ireland, so I wanted to see if I could find them here. Tommy Maloney seems to be the leader in the States.

My family and I really enjoyed the Moloney's sausages. Made in NY, they have much the same flavor and texture of the real thing in Ireland. I couldn't taste a difference. Note that these bangers are of the skinny variety -about finger thickness. They brown up nicely in the skillet and have a satisfying snap when bitten. If you want thicker bangers, Maloney has those as well. We ordered five of the skinny link packages and two 8oz. tubes of the black pudding (also good, if you like black pudding of course).

While we love the product, there is room for improvement in shipping. Our first shipment came on time, shipped by 2nd day air. Unfortunately, the meat arrived at a temperature of over 65 degrees Fahrenheit, not a safe temperature, so I had to discard the shipment. I should note that the temperatures in Texas at the time my shipment arrived were over 100 degrees F, and the package sat in the UPS truck all day long before being delivered to me. The meat was shipped in a cardboard box with a reflective bubble-wrap type of insulating bag. Inside of the bag were fully thawed ice packs and four fully-evaporated dry ice bags. The insulation just wasn't up to the challenge.

I called Maloney's and received friendly customer service. They promised that they would reship the sausages when they could (they only ship to Texas on Mondays). I requested that they ship with more dry ice and insulation.

The replacement package arrived as promised at a safe temperature. Still only one bubble-type insulating bag, but with extra dry ice bags. The dry ice had completely evaporated, but the standard ice packs were still mostly frozen.

Maloney's has a great product, but shipping & packaging is critical to their mail-order customers. I'd suggest some improvements. First, consider double bagging the shipments in the bubble wrap or using styrofoam. Both of my shipments had a lot of condensation on the outside of the bubble wrap which made the cardboard box soggy. A lot of condensation on the reflective bubble wrap means that the bag isn't doing a good job insulating. I've had luck getting frozen pizzas and other meats shipped to me in styrofoam boxes with no problems. Styrofoam is probably more expensive, but when shipping in the summer, especially to the South, styrofoam is the right tool for the job. Second, consider using more dry ice; the dry ice isn't surviving for the two-day trip. Third, the plastic containers on three of the five sausage packages were cracked open in shipment. The plastic containers are too brittle to be stacked in a shipping box without some other kind of protection or support (cardboard, perhaps?). The cracked containers meant that juices from the sausages leaked into the bottom of the insulating bag, which made things a bit messy and required me to repackage the sausages for storage. Ultimately though, the sausages were delicious.

Summing up, I love the product, and will order it again. If you miss your full Irish breakfast, now you can get it in the States. Customer service is great. Shipping, at least to hot parts of the country, could be improved. I hope that Tommy Maloney takes my suggestions in mind for its future shipments.

I finally found a source for those fantastic sausages I really miss here in the US. It took years to find them, but these sausages are great! Arrived before promised, delivered in dry ice. Cooked up and plumped up just like real sausages should. Tasted heavenly!

Purely Elizabeth - Ancient Grain Granola Cereal Original

purely elizabeth Ancient grain granola cereal original-12.5 ozThis tastes amazing, especially considering the whole grain and non-simple sugar ingredients. My issue is paying $8 per bag. That is not financially sustainable when you have a family to shop and pay for.

Love this granola more than any other. I love it plain, with yogurt, with almond milk, even sprinkled on top of a salad. Purely Elizabeth has great ingredients and the sugar they use is a low glycemic sweetener.

Arrowhead Mills Whole Grain Puffed Millet Cereal, 6-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12)

Arrowhead Mills Whole Grain Puffed  Millet Cereal, 6-Ounce BagsAccording to the hype on the bag as well as the nutrition information, this whole grain is quite healthy. I've been eating it for breakfast almost every day for several months, and it seems to get me off to a good start. Since the millet itself doesn't have much flavor, I fill a large bowl with 95% millet, and 5% granola sprinkled on top (plus some ground flax seed); I then add milk. I get granola with each bite, and it makes the whole bowl really quite tasty, without being overwhelmingly sweet.

It's cheap, healthy and filling. Just make sure you have plenty of pantry space, as you get twelve large bags with this order.

Arrowhead produces several puffed cereals but this is my favorite. First off, it doesn't get soggy. You can take several phone calls or even a shower and come back and find this stuff is still holding up to the milk. And because the kernels are small it's ideal for someone like me with jaw problems. The flavor is similar to popcorn, just milder. Only downside is that occasionally you'll get a bag where they haven't done such a good job of eliminating the hulls...bothersome buggers that have a tendency to cling to your gums etc. I start every day with a bowl.

Buy Arrowhead Mills Whole Grain Puffed Millet Cereal, 6-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12) Now

I actually like this cereal more than the [N ..] organic brand because it is easier on my stomachnot sure why since this does not seem to be organic. However, note that this brand has a LOT of hulls which can spread and float around when you first open the bag. So beware and brush your teeth if you have anywhere special to go after consuming this. They will get stuck in your teeth.

You might also want to keep tabs on this product's price which seems to fluctuate significantly. Right now, it is over $31 WAY TOO EXPENSIVE for puffs, especially considering this is not organic.

Leila Bay Trading Company Apple Cinnamon Granola, 12-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3)

Leila Bay Trading Company Apple Cinnamon Granola, 12-Ounce PouchesThis is my first order of this product so I can't say if it was a batch issue or if it is the general texture of the granola. Some of the pieces were so hard that I literally thought I was going to break my tooth. Similarly, the raisins have the chewiest consistency I've ever tasted in a raisin. Contrasting the hard/chewy, a good bit of one bag was completely pulverized. I don't know if that's a shipping issue or if that was intentional in the product's presentation. It is odd if you grab it by handfuls/spoonfuls because sometimes you get a hearty mix and other times you get dust.

The taste of this granola is outstanding. It comes close to being in my top 5 favorite brands. I will definitely order again and will update on the next batches texture. I do recommend this to others. If you eat slowly and have solid chompers, you should be fine.

My son absolutely LOVES this granola!! It's full of flavor and just the right consistency. If you don't have time for a bowl full of granola, you can just grab a handful and go. This company makes several flavors of granola and all of them are tasty, but first place taste goes to the apple cinnamon!

Special K Protein Bar, Strawberry (1.59-Ounce), 8-Count Bars

Special K Protein Bar, Strawberry, 8-Count BarsI ordered the first box and it sat on the shelf for a few weeks because I was afraid to try it. Protein Meal Bar? It had to taste bad. Boy was I wrong. Capital letters WRONG!! It has 10 grams of protein and fiber and vitamins, so its good for you. Keep it in the house for those days when you're hungry and you can't stop for lunch or give them to the kids for treats.

Glutino Gluten Free Breakfast Bars, Blueberry, 5-Count Boxes (Pack of 6)

Glutino Gluten Free Breakfast Bars, Blueberry, 5-Count BoxesIf you're diabetic/gluten sensitive this breakfast bar is great to have on hand. How fortunate to have products like this available. I don't know how people did it 20 years ago. I carry the bars with me and it's a perfect snack during the day or in a pinch when I can't eat a regular meal. Blueberries are a great antioxidant as well. Thank you Glutino! Hoping to see more products like this become available!

I personally hated these, but I also hate fig newtons and I didn't buy them for myself. I bought them for my 4 yr old son who is on a gluten-free casein-free diet and is very picky. My son needed a snack option and we wanted to sneak some fruit into his diet. Surprisingly enough, given the reviews and my own opinion, he absolutely LOVES these. So, if you have a child on a special diet, it is probably worth buying a single box and trying it out... you just never know with kids!

Original Review:

I don't eat a lot of different foods because I'm very particular. But these bars are good to me. They taste like a normal fruit bar so they pass my test! Just don't eat a lot at once or they will probably make you sick. The flavor, texture and size is nice. If you have a gluten free diet, I think you should try these. If you have a normal diet, these may be nasty to you. I like them and may buy again but try a different flavor.

Since we have to buy 6 boxes in bulk, I wish there was an option where we could choose more than one flavor in our order. But overall, I'm happy with this product.

Edited Review:

I have been sensitive to gluten since 2009, so I'm used to eating really nasty gluten free foods. Now that I've tasted a lot of store bought and homemade bars, I had to change my review. Now the bars are not as good when compared to other brands...but are not the worst I've had. A person not on a special restrictive diet would not enjoy them. I'm on a gluten free diet and I no longer enjoy them. Times have changed and the gluten free world is getting better, so you may want to do your research and seek out better brands or even make some yourself. They're okay, but not great.

Post Cocoa Pebbles Cereal, 15-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4)

Post Cocoa Pebbles Cereal, 15-Ounce BoxesThere are a small number of companies that make gluten-free food, and they don't bother to talk about it. These are, and as far as I can tell from reading the celiac boards, always have been gluten-free.

Other than that, well, they're Cocoa Pebbles.

Note; I use them for pie crusts on gluten free vegan pudding pies: coconut milk, agar agar, agave nectar and vanilla. If you want the recipe, please feel free to e-mail me--it's going in the cookbook.

Cocoa pebbles is a tasty breakfast cereal. It goes over very well with small children, especially the chocolate milk that is left in the bowl after the cereal pieces are eaten. I don't like that there are usually a few hard pieces left over in the bottom of the bowl. I wish all the pieces would be soft and edible.

Kellogg's Raisin Bran Cereal, 1.25-Ounce Bowls (Pack of 96)

Kellogg's Raisin Bran Cereal, 1.25-Ounce BowlsThis is one of the most marvelous items that I've purchased to date from the "Grocery" section of Amazon. These containers, which I think of as "motel morning" portions, are extremely convenient and quite delicious, presuming one is a Raisin Bran fan. Likewise, no matter how long the food stays in storage, my cabinets, or in the crate sitting in this cluttered abode's back room, I note that the little, light plastic, sealed containers never seem to let the bran or raisins go stale or lose their taste. I'm now working on my third crate of these little wonders. I suspect that most readers would skeptically snicker at this reviewer's infatuation with such a mundane product, but one should always take matters involving quenching of the munchies seriously, especially at an advancing age when the ol' love-beaten, soul-searching heart needn't be weighed down with the added burdens of fat, cholesterol, salt, sugars and other modern processed sludge.

This cereal is great for everyone and the portion is perfect for those who do not know when to say that's enough. It's like a weight watchers meal already portioned for you.

I now prefer this product to its boxed form. It is portion-controlled, and can be consumed in the bowl provided (i.e., the number of servings it will provide is known in advance, and one can avoid clean-up if desired). I find re-using the bowls useful (freezing left-overs, disposing of messy kitchen wastes unsuitable for discarding in plumbing, etc).

I purchased this as a way to save money on Raisin Bran, a cereal one of my sons enjoys. Granted, he'll eat two packages for breakfast. But depending on what I have to spend in the store, I'm sometimes saving money.

If you like the cereal and have the room, this may be an option for you. Likewise, they offer a convenience in the form of portability. But you should do the math yourself to see if the economics make sense.

General Mills Cocoa Puffs Cereal Bar, 1.4 Ounce -- 96 per case.

General Mills Cocoa Puffs Cereal Bar, 1.4 Ounce -- 96 per case.I was pretty pleased when I tried this item after a recent food service show. There is a very strong chocolate smell and taste. One bar has 150 calories (30 from fat) and 9 grams of sugar (versus 16 in the old Cocoa puffs cereal and milk bars). The texture is different, it looks more like cocoa krispies than puffs and my jaw hurt from chewing so much but overall it is a nice option for people (especially kids) who don't have time to have a sit-down breakfast in the morning.
