Bob's Red Mill Organic 7 Grain Pancake & Waffle, Whole Grain Mix, 26-Ounce Bags (Pack of 4)

Wow! I'm impressed! Whenever I see whole grain/multi grain on anything, I think of chewing saw dust. This mix makes great pancakes! I make'em more on the crepe side by adding more milk than recommended. Add some chopped walnuts (omega3) and apples and I'm in heaven. Add couple spoonfuls of applesauce if you want even more moist pancakes. Make some raspberry sauce (rasperry jam w/ water zapped for 10 seconds in microwave) and even my most finicky 2 year wolfs them up. Bon appetit!

As a basically lazy person, I have been looking for a healthy, whole grain baking mix that tastes good and doesn't contain any dairy products. Bob's Red Mill Organic 7 Grain is the real deal. The waffles were very tasty and I did not feel like I was gnawing on grit. My only addition is a bit of sweetener and soy milk. You cannot get any better than that. And it's whole-grains.

Addendum September 13, 2008:

I find myself using this mix much as someone would use any baking mix. It makes lovely scones and biscuits. I haven't tried any of the "impossible" dishes that rely on a well-known baking mix; however I suspect that Bob's 7-Grain Pancake and Waffle Mix would work splendidly in that capacity as well.

I've been buying this pancake mix since way before the Internet era. My parents lived in Oregon and when visiting we always went to the Old Red Mill to buy cases of this pancake mix to bring home. I can't recommend it more highly. I've read other reviews where they mention adding extra ingredients but, in my estimation, you don't need to add anything to this mix to make truly wonderful pan "cakes." In fact, I like eating them just with butter, no syrup, they're so tasty. My last cake I add molasses for a special treat.

For years I have been buying Hodgsen Mills Pancake and Waffle Mix...... I decided to try Bob's Red Mill and I LOVE IT!!! I wish I had tried it sooner. I received this yesterday and this morning I made them for my husband and myself. First thing he asked was, "What did you do different to these"? They're Grrrreat! LOL I explained that this was Bob's Red Mill Brand, and after tasting them I will be buying ONLY these from now on. They're whole grain, and Organic, and if you haven't tried them, do a switch, and see if you and your family don't love it.

Extremely versatile and convenient mix. For a little variety just add raisins, chopped nuts, chopped dried apricots, etc. to each individual pancake while cooking and prepare a whole bag at a time. It freezes well, individually wrapped in ziploc bags, and is ready for a quick warmup in the microwave without the mess of preparation. To avoid a tough pancake, heat frozen pancake for 1-3/4 minutes on medium on each side and then 45 seconds on high. Should come out just like it was freshly prepared. Have found that one pancake is quite filling and is sufficient to last until lunch. Enjoy.

Quaker Instant Oatmeal Fruit & Cream, Variety Pack, 10-Count Boxes (Pack of 6)

I eat oatmeal almost every morning in the fall and winter, this is by far my favorite variety pack. I stock up when it is on sale because I can go through a box a week. The variety pack is nice because it keeps it from getting monotonous. Peaches and cream is the tastiest and nothing beats hot oatmeal after shoveling snow or walking the dog.

Our house goes through at LEAST 2 full boxes of these individually wrapped bowls of Oatmeal per week. My stepsons wolf through 2-4 packs per morning, though they will consume any oatmeal put before them... they fight over the fruit and cream so we tend to stick to boxes of that.

Often they mix and match, dumping a packed of bananas and cream in with a packet of strawberries and cream. I don't mind, two growing little boys can eat as much oatmeal as they want in our house. You couldn't ask for them to eat a more healthy snack. The other thing that is nice is that my 7 year old can make his own. So on Saturday mornings when he's up before the rooster crows, he can come down and make his own oatmeal while he waits for everyone else to get up.

For the adults, Oatmeal still tastes great, and requires a lot less work then I remember my mom going through when I was little. It's excellent for your health and can actually lower your cholesterol.

What a disappointment!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought peaches and strawberries flavor in my grocery store because they were on sale. I noticed they were the most expensive ones there so I figured that must be the best there is. How wrong was I. First thing that hit me was how sweet they were. I could barely finish eating. Then I looked at the label and found far too many artificial ingredients. But that's not all. I noticed that peaches and strawberries are strangely similar in taste and shape. After reading a label I found out that they do not even put real strawberries and peaches in the oatmeal. Can you believe that? The most expensive oatmeal on the market and no real fruit. What they do is they put artificially flavored apples in there. Company with such experience in oatmeal making can't afford to give its customers REAL FRUIT? What a shame. I will never buy any of their products. Never!. Oh just to compare what there is available on the market please visit Traders Joe. I found blueberry flavor with REAL blueberries, cranberry with REAL cranberries. So it is possible to make a great product you just have to make an effort QUAKER and stop fooling your customers.

I got these when I lived at a student apartment, had no car, and the closest grocery store was over a mile down the road. So it was nice to order my favorite food in bulk and just go the mail room and pick it up.

This assortment is a great alternative to the same flavors over and over again. I do find that they arent as filling as others but I think that has to do with the "cream" aspect. I gave all the peaches away as I don't like peach but everything else is delicious. I was also pleased to see that there are not many more calories in these as the regular flavors

Celestial Seasonings Teas

I highly recommend this tea to anyone who likes Earl Grey tea, it has a wonderful balance of black teas and bergamot. I prefer a strong flavored tea so I brew mine a few extra minutes. The bad news is I no longer have been able to locate this tea, the only place I have been able to obtain it is Amazon and the last time I checked they are out, hopefully they will restock it again.

I love this stuff. I drink my tea without sweetener and this tea seems to have a natural sweetness that you can smell.

Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Cereal

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of cereal is Frosted Flakes. Had to get this the first thing, when I've realized I had to live on campus. I was worried that it might be stale, but it's crispy as ever. No worries about its freshness, although it's from online market.

Good ol Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. Four large boxes. This is a supply that will last for a few months if we both consume them.

I buy a lot from Amazon, but have never purchased grocery items from them. I thought I would take a chance on a less that 12 dollar purchase for four boxes of one of our favorite cereals and it paid off. I was a bit concerned that the product inside the box might be reduced to crumbs due to the shipping, but was quite happy to find out it is all in good shape. The expiration date is July 2012, plenty of time for us to use the product. I'll be going back for more and will consider other products, as well. By the way, the cereal is almost $2.00 cheaper than I pay for it at the grocery store. And, the size of the box is the big family size! Buy it!

Country Choice Organic Multi Grain Hot Cereal, 18 Ounce Canisters (Pack of 6)

The Country Choice brand is domestically produced and certified organic by Oregon Tilth.

I bought the Multigrain Hot Cereal the first time by accident instead of the steel cut oats but decided to try it rather than return it and was pleasantly surprised.

It contains rolled whole grain rye, barley, oats, and wheat in that order. It is a great hot breakfast on a chilly morning and a nice change from oatmeal. I like it slightly undercooked and topped with a sliced banana and raisins with a splash of milk.

As far as nutrition, a half cup has 5g of fiber!

Even if you don't like oatmeal, you might want to give this a try.

This review refers to Country Choice Multi Grain Hot Cereal -

For the last few of years I have been hooked on the Irish style Steel Cut Oats. At first I was buying the McCann's, and then I stumbled onto the Country Choice(also Irish style steel cut), which I found just as tasty and satisfying a meal but at a much better deal here. The Steel Cut Oats have a very different texture from regular oatmeal creamy but a little chewier feel which I really liked and also it was a meal that kept me going until lunch time without feeling hungry. The steel cut usually takes about 25-30 minutes to prepare and I found they are well worth the wait.

So seeing these and the reviews saying how good they were, I thought I'd add a little variety to my mornings, and reap the benefits of some other type of whole grains. The first thing I found was that these only take 5 minutes max to cook, and I had to make several attempts(even following the directions) to get it to where it wasn't either still sitting in half the water or had absorbed it all before it was actually finished cooking. So getting the ratio of cereal/water part down, I still felt these grains too mushy for me if I used less water, they would cook too fast. They tasted okay just okay I thought the cereal a little on the bland side and have to add honey or something extra.With the oats I could just add some blueberries or raisins or sometimes a tiny bit of a butter substitue just to have a little variety each morning, but the truth is they (the oats) are good enough to eat without anything added at all.Also, I did not feel as satisfied with one serving of the multi-grains as I did with the oats, getting hungry a couple of hours later. So I was a little disappointed with these. I will still use these multi-grain on ocassion(they are not bad, just not as good as I thought they would be)and there is even a recipe for Applesauce Multigrain Muffins which I might try out, or use in some other baking in place of flour.

The nutritional facts are pretty close per serving; Multi grains have 1 gr fat,Oats have 3(1 of polyunsaturted, 1 of Monosaturated); Multi130 calories a serving, Oats 150; Neither have any cholesterol or sodium; oats have 1 gr of sugar,multi 0; both have 5 g's of protein; fiber 5 Multi, 4 Oats; and of course everything comes from the oats/grains themselves, nothing is added to either. Both are orgainc.Both are very healthy foods.

So I would suggest to try one carton from your grocery store first, before investing in a multi-package deal which by the way is a really good deal for both compared to my local markets.

Remember to breathe, Eat Healthy...and Enjoy.....Laurie

I wanted a break from oatmeal every morning although I do love the taste and texture of real, old-fashioned oatmeal.

I decided to try this and I was pretty surprised at how good it is and much I loved the texture. I do not see how you

could improve the product, as it it spot on perfect. I gave it 5 stars.

Have been eating this cereal for almost 10 years. Have to order it online. Moved from Calif to FL -couldn't find it locally. Besides being healthy w/lots of fiber, I only add water (not milk) after cooking and save extra calories. Has a good, nutty taste.

Apricot Syrup

I was expecting a more intense apricot flavor. I will not be buying this product again.

this product was good but the cost to have it delivered and the size of the bottle made it to expensive to buy it again. I thought the items cost was alright but the mailing cost was double the products cost.

Familia Low-Fat Granola Cereal, 21-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

After reading the positive reviews I decided to try this cereal. I'm not impressed. It's too sweet with lots of sugar. There are 14g of sugars per 2/3 cup serving. Some ingredients like the dried fruit and oats are hard while others like the cereal flakes are soft and absorb milk. If you let the hard parts soften up with milk the flakes turn into mush.

Familia makes a lot of great cereals and I'm surprised they let this one out the door. They must think Americans are sugar-crazed Coca Cola addicts. I really like the Familia Low-Fat Musli and suggest you buy that instead.

On the plus side this cereal has a lot of dried fruit. It tastes good if you eat it quickly before it gets to soggy.

The granola itself is very tasty and I like the idea of lower fat. Only problem is the raisins are way too hard. They don't add anything to flavor and someone could chip/break a tooth if not careful. Take the raisins out and it would be great.

I bought this on a whim trying other granola's that were sweet yet tasty. I like to mix granola with cranberries that are also very sweet. Finally I found a granola that is extremely tasty without the sweetness. Once I acquisition unsweetened cranberries I will create a powerhouse of flavor and enjoyment. Recommended Hope this helps

Homemade Granola - 1 lb Bag

The Amish are known for growing their own foods, marketing their own produce, and respecting nature (all organic) in the process. It should come as no surprise then that this Amish HOMEMADE GRANOLA lives up to some very high expectations and standards. The cereal offered here in promptly delivered 1 pound bags carefully packaged contains rolled oats, unprocessed wheat or oat bran, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, pineapple and bananas, honey, wheat germ, coconut, almonds, vanilla, honey, cinnamon, brown sugar and vegetable oil.

Not only a fine breakfast treat or hearty snack, this granola can be incorporated into granola breads that make date-nut or banana bread seem outclassed. For flavor and nutritional value, this is a solid product. Maybe the first order will be for one pound, but chances are after that you'll order at least five bags at a time. Compared to store prices this is a bargain. Grady Harp, April 12

Quaker Instant Oatmeal Value Pack Maple Brown Sugar, 27.3 oz, 2 pk

I BOUGHT THIS OATMEAL BECAUSE THE PICTURES SHOWS IT IS THE QUAKER CLASSIC RECIPE AND IT IS NOT. I HAD TO SEND IT BACK BECAUSE I CAN NOT EAT THE NEW OATMEAL DUE TO STOMACH PROBLEMS.

My family loves the classic recipe and I can't find it in our local markets anymore. The new Maple and Brown Sugar taste and smells like burnt carmel corn and you can't get the smell out of the kitchen. Anyway so glad I found this, it will keep me stocked for a little while.
