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.

Earnest Eats Granola Plank, Blueberry Vanilla Crackle, 3-Ounce Planks (Pack of 6)

Earnest Eats Granola Plank, Blueberry Vanilla Crackle, 3-Ounce PlanksLove the product! It's filled with healthy things and tastes great. You do have to remember that one plank is supposed to be 2 servings.

I was a huge fan of the blueberry planks. Up until March/April the company stopped making them. My subscribe service with Amazon was placed on hold. I emailed Earnest Eats to ask if they were discontinuing the product. I got an answer that they were looking for a different manufacturer.

Fast forward, they shipped their product to Amazon. I got notice that I would receive my order for this month. However, when I got it, its not the same thing they changed the recipe its a freaking cookie.

Basically its a bigger form of their trail bar line maybe twice as big. Its not crunchy or cracklely. This new version sucks.

It totally doesn't even look like the item on the amazon photo right now. It looks like their Earnest Eats Baked Almond Trail Mix Bar. If I wanted that I would have bought that.

Fantastic Granola Bar. Not the typical cardboard with flavor and some nuts. This one has great body and texture, along with fantastic taste. I work out on the ocean and some days I never know when I will get back in so these are my emergency lunch supply and do a fantastic job.

I recently purchased a cran lemon zest food bar from Earnest Eats (aka Honest Foods) at a health food store. I don't usually buy these things but I was starving and I liked that the packaging was clear so I could actually see what was in the bar. It was absolutely delicious! I have not seen this brand around very much but I will certainly be on the look out for it now.

This is an oat cereal bar, plain and simple. Thick "planks" of chewy oats and some other big, puffed cereal with a few almonds and blueberries tossed in. I was completely disappointed, especially at the price I paid for these bland bars and also at the lack of many berries and nuts. I loved the trailmix bar from this company but this thing was way overpriced and tasted so "oaty" that my daughter wouldn't eat more than a few bites. We swigged lots of liquid after eating thinking a bowl of actual oatmeal would have been more pleasurable.

Incidentally, the 5 star review above mine isn't even for this particular bar...

French Breakfast Radish Seeds - Raphanus Sativus - 3 Grams - Approx 300 Gardening Seeds - Vegetable

French Breakfast Radish Seeds - Raphanus Sativus - 3 Grams - Approx 300 Gardening Seeds - Vegetable Garden SeedFrench Breakfast radishes are a real garden treat. I plant them every year and am rewarded with fresh radishes from the garden each spring. This is an early spring crop, so plant as soon as the frosts are over. I plant a row each week for 4 weeks to get a continual supply of radishes. French Breakfast radishes have a red body with white tips. They are about 3-4" long and take about 28 days to mature. Do not leave them in much longer than this or they will get pithy (hollow). Water regularly to ensure even growth and prevent spliting. These are easy to grow and very mild and tasty. They are generally not a "hot" radish. Fine for eating whole or slicing on salads. Grubs tend to enjoy these radishes, so you may want to consider a grub killer before planting.

The French Breakfast Radishes are awesome, tasty little guys. And they're not just for breakfast anymore... snacks, salads, even plate eye candy. I really appreciate Amazon's "long tail" in supporting specialized vegetable items.

As an avid gardener I found these radishes to be good in size and taste and were an asset to the table.

Holly's Au Natural Oatmeal, Cranberry Almond, 16-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Holly's Au Natural Oatmeal, Cranberry Almond, 16-Ounce BoxesI tried this oatmeal after reading positive reviews and listening to the sales pitch of a home shopping TV host. It's OK oatmeal. Sure, in comparison to instant oatmeal, loaded withi sugar, it's better. But any whole oatmeal product from the health food store, or even Quaker oatmeal (not the instant) is just as good. Holly's oatmeal contains bits of dried fruit and nuts which is not that big of a deal. Any steel cut oatmeal or even Quaker whole oats can be made with fresh fruit, and a sprinkling of flax, nuts, or anything you desire to make a hearty healthful bowl. Holly's is over-rated. Holly sure has some gig going for herself. I rate it average, not better, than other types of oatmeal except for the instant kind.

I thought this would be good, as I love cranberries and almonds, but it is beyond anything I've ever tasted!!! At first I thought that 6 packs at one time would be too much. It turned out not to be enough!! This is the most awesome food I have ever tasted. I have gotten to where I eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and then a snack late at night). I just can't get enough of it. It is creamy, delicious and fulfilling, not to mention healthy. I'm ordering more immediately.

Holly's Oatmeal is good but I'm not sure it rates the rave reviews others give it. If I didn't know there were almonds in the cereal I wouldn't have been able to identify them. They are pretty tasteless and look more like little wood chips than almonds. Also, there are not nearly enough cranberries in it. Not your mother's oatmeal--that's for sure. Mom would have been a lot more generous with the almonds and cranberries.

I usually like Holly's oatmeal but this flavor combo wasn't for me. I did give it to friends who just loved it, so even though I didn't care for it I would have to say others did. Maybe I just didn't like the almond....

Ditto to what the other reviewer's have said. This oatmeal is so good. I make mine with water, and it is a hearty, satisfying breakfast or snack. And look at the nutrition! All kinds of good grains make this even more nutritious that plain oats. The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is that there are so few cranberries in it. I often will have a whole bowl with only 1 or 2. Right now I'm eating a bowl that doesn't have any. Otherwise, this stuff is perfect.

Mrs. May's Trio Bar Variety Pack, 1.2-Ounce bars (Pack of 20)

Mrs. May's  Trio Bar Variety Pack, 1.2-Ounce barsI loved the taste of this product but just noticed they are made in China. I contacted the company to get more information. They said they test for quality but in fact the list they gave me was for bacterial contaminants only. They do not test for lead or other heavy metals, just salmonella, aflatoxin and microbiological testing. And they do not own the factory, they just contract out the production and inspect the factory.

As for the ingredients, some of them are from China, such as the malt syrup. And the US ingredients are shipped all the way to China, the product is made, then it is shipped all the way back. This was to cut costs according to a business journal report on the company. I hate to see what the carbon production is for each bar based on that practice. And for the price they sell the product for, which is quite expensive, this way of saving a buck speaks poorly to the company's ethics. I for one will no longer buy this product.

Country of origin is part of my decision making process. I am posting this for others who may have similar concerns.

I picked up a case of these at costco because I was curious. they were a great price, and the ingredient list looked good. My first impressions were that they were Waaaay too hard and crunchy I felt like I might break a tooth on these things! But maybe someone younger would not worry so much about that :). My second concern was when I read the small print that these are manufactured in China...not so good in my book. As everyone has seen, in recent years china's foodchain has had some tremendous snafus and quality control issues, which I doubt are resolved yet. I also am weary to support a company that would ship snack bars all the way from china to save a few cents on each. Currently I'm using both "Bora Bora" bars and "Oskri" mixed nut bars, which I think are both much better quality (and much easier on my teeth, and organic, and made in North America, blah blah blah). But these will cost you some more. Bottom line, if you don't fall in love with these, or you share my concerns about China's quality control on basic food ingredients, then just shop around...

Purchased two boxes in the past. Latest order tasted very different and was stale (kind of had a moldy taste but no visible mold). Called Mrs. May's and they said there was nothing they could do about it. These are a product of China and the bars tasted really different like they had bad ingredients or had gone bad. Mrs. May's representative was not concerned and treated me like I was trying to scam them. Great product idea but I won't be buying any of their products in the future. Read the label and consume at your own risk.

The box shows Best Before Feb 28 2010, but they taste stale. Some bars are broken in pieces. I wonder how long they have been on the shelf? Very disappointed.

Nature's Path Organic Optimum Slim Cereal -- 14 oz

Nature's Path Organic Optimum Slim Cereal -- 14 ozI really like this cereal 9 grams of dietary fiber and 9 grams protein per serving so it keeps you full until lunch. Quick and easy just add some fruit and milk and enjoy. Very tasty too which is important for repeat business. I came over to amazon today to see if I could order it here at a better price.

Great cereal. Has all the good ingredients and what I like about it is that its not sugary or sweet and just perfect for morning breakfast.

Post Fruity Pebbles Treats, 8-Count Treats (Pack of 4)

Post Fruity Pebbles Treats, 8-Count TreatsI purchased these for my son who is on a gluten free diet. It's hard to find individually packaged treats to send to school with him that don't dry out or get crumbly.

He likes how they taste, and thinks they're great.They're not priced as high as other gluten free treats, and while they're not healthy and they have dyes and all, they work for him as a treat.

Larabar Chocolate Chip Brownie -- 16 Bars

Larabar Chocolate Chip Brownie -- 16 BarsI have been purchasing Larabars for the last couple of years--they are perfect for travel and especially pack well if left in the car etc through cold or heat. I saw the excellent price on Amazon and ordered the Chocolate chocolate chip bars--they are fabulous tasting and so is the price ( 17+$ plus shipping and taxes). YOu won't find them cheaper anywhere else....

Unlike so many other health food bars, Larabars are actually healthy. Each flavor only contains 3-4 ingredients...all of which are completely natural and easily identifiable. The base of Larabars is always dates...they give them the sweet flavor and texture without added sugar. These chocolate brownie bars also contain cocoa powder, small chocolate chips and nuts (walnuts and almonds). I've tried all all of the Larabar flavors and this flavor is my time tested favorite. If you are trying to eat right, but still have a sweet craving now and then, these bars will definitely work...the texture is exactly like a brownie and the taste is very close!

These are all natural meal replacement bars that really pack a punch with protein. TOTALLY worth the buy! They come in all different flavors and I love them all!

After reading the reviews, I was excited to try these bars. Everyone had positive things to say about this, and all the other flavor larabars. Unless you love date paste (from the fruit), you will hate these bars! They are exactly that--chocolate flavored date paste. They are the worst gluten free food I have ever tried. I thought that these bars, compared to the fruit ones, would at least be more chocolate-y than fruity. Nope. They taste horrific. There isn't even any positive comment I can make about these bars. If you like the bars, save your money; buy date paste and just eat it. GROSS!
