Organic Dark Chocolat Brazil Nuts (4/4oz)

These are excellent candies.

I recently had read that Brazil nuts were healthy, and i'm not crazy about them alone. I also prefer milk chocolate WAY more than dark, so i chose these in hopes that i would be able to hold back and not eat them by the bagful! (Thus cancelling out the health benefits!)

Well, they are very delicious. Both the chocolate and the nut taste very good, and the nut is crispy which makes the whole candy very enjoyable.

I will try my best to eat them in moderation. They come in small bags. I would highly recommend them.

Quaker Steel Cut Oats 24 oz (4 pack)

I grew up on various hot cereal products and frankly, I loved almost all of them. My wife however, didn't like ANY of them. One day as we sat in the restaurant of a nice bay area hotel, she ordered 'steel cut oatmeal' for her breakfast... and I joined her. She loved it.

I found Quaker's Steel Cut Oatmeal hard to find...but definitely worth it! Thank goodness for Amazon... the Sears Catalogue of this century!

I've eaten both the Quaker Steel Cut Oats and the McCann's Irish Cut Oats. Of the two I think the McCANN'S Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal, 28-Ounce Tins (Pack of 4) has a bit better flavor. The McCann's brand seems to taste nuttier.

As to the Quaker Steel Cut Oats: Not bad for something you can easily buy in most grocery stores. The cooked oatmeal is not mushy or pasty but has a bit of texture. Also, I had no problems with "rocks" as the oatmeal cooked up tender but a bit chewy.

Recommend with caveats given.

Great product, very nutritious and healthy. I have it at least 4 times a week and love to add raisins to it to make it better!

I've started to move to steel cut oats from standard Quaker oatmeal. I've tried 3 different brands so far including McCann's. I have a certain amount of attraction to Quaker's steel cut oats. In a sense I agree with the one star that said they tasted like rocks, because they are the most chewy oats out there. They're in a class of their own, probably twice as chewy as McCann's, even with extra water. So, if you like the chewiness of steel cut oats, this is your brand. If you find McCann's just right, this will probably be over the top for you.

Fix it how you like, I personally recommend raisins, brown sugar, and cinnamon, mixed with hot water straight from the kettle in a large bowl, then microwaved for 90 seconds. It boils for most of that, and still remains quite chewy, and quite good.

I reviewed this before and as I said I was very happy with it.

I will order again when I run out of these.

Love Grown Foods Oat Clusters and Love, Sweet Cranberry Pecan, 12-Ounce (Pack of 3)

This granola is super tasty and also healthy. The ingredients are pure and simple, there are no surprises when you read the label.

I have not tried the other flavors that Love Grown makes, but this "Sweet Cranberry Pecan" is to die for! It's got a cinnamon and pecan taste and the dried cranberries give it a chewy texture when you get one in your bite. It's not overly sweet, just about the perfect amount of sweetness for my taste.

To the reviewer who gave this product 1 star and said it was not clustered sounds like your bag got smashed. That is probably the fault of whoever handled it either during storage, packing, or shipping and it's not the fault of the manufacturer. This stuff is clustered, crunchy and delicious!

The only problem is that it's addictive! You might find yourself wishing you had ordered more :)

Good job Love Crunch, I'll be trying some of the other flavors next.

My family and I think Love Grown is the best Granola and a great value through Amazon with the monthly repeat purchase program. We purchased Love Grown at City Market in Colorado, but recently moved to Minnesota and could not find a retail seller. Contacted Love Grown and found that it could be had through Amazon...shared the Love with extended family over the Holidays with great feedback as well. And yes the product is "naturally" Gluten Free...unlike some of the other similar priced product sold. Try it you will be happy you did

Goes with milk or coffee not overly sweet but just the right balance. Good to have at your desk when you a handful of something quick that is not cookies, chips, candy, or other typical office/vending fair.

Better Oats Oat Fit Instant Oatmeal ~ Maple & Brown Sugar ~ 5 Pouches per 4.9 oz Box (Pack of 3 Box

A colleague has been making Maple Brown Sugar oatmeal at work and it smelled soooo good! I tend to shy away from instant oatmeals because they are so high in sugar and don't have a hearty consistency, so I was delighted to try Oat Fit from Better Oats. Others reviewers are right, though... this product is SO much cheaper at Target!

I picked some of these up at Target, and was very pleased to find instant oatmeal with no sugar, yet still a hearty and pleasant taste. I was hoping to find them available in bulk, possibly the nearest Target with a grocery is quite a distance from me but these prices are ridiculous, when I managed to get them from the big T on sale at a buck a BOX, rather than more than that *per pouch*. I guess that next time I'm in that area, I'll simply be cleaning out their available stock.

It would be nice if there were an even number of pouches per box a 100-calorie packet is mighty tiny if you're not anorexic. Two pouches make for a nice, rib-sticking meal, though.

I discovered this oatmeal quite by accident last year while looking for something whole grain to have for breakfast on a path to eating healthier. Since I'm diabetic as well, it's important the carbs not be outrageous as well. It needed to be quick, nourishing and taste good enough I'd stick to it. Since then, I've had this oatmeal for breakfast at least 5 times per week since my first discovery. I even take it on vacation (when I can and know I have access to a microwave). It's filling, I love the taste and it's good for me. I've lost quite a bit of weight in the past year, all in part of eating healthier and exercising more.

Hard to find something for work to eat for breakfast that I can store in my desk drawer that doesn't take a ton of space... This is so good--not too sweet, so, so so easy to make--just90 seconds in my big soup mug and it is ready... the package doubles as the measuring cup for the water... I got a case at costco of the cinnamon roll and the maple and brown sugar... probably like cinnamon roll the best...

This is an extremely great instant oatmeal that is healthy for you and very delicious. My sister-in-law introduced this product to me and with the first spoonful I fell in love with it. You don't even need a measuring cup for the water, you fill the empty pack you're using with water to the line and add it to your oatmeal in the bowl.

Ener-G Foods English Muffins, 14.8-Ounce Units (Pack of 6)

I'm not sure why no one seems to like these very much! They are pretty good to us. I haven't had a problem with them falling apart and they're easy to slice for toasting. My son,(who is the one on the GFCF diet), is extremely picky and suspicious of anything new, ate these muffins without hesitating. I sometimes poke a hole in the middle and serve as a 'bagel'. These are a regular staple in our house.

If you need gluten free, non-dairy and no egg, pickings are pretty slim.

If you use a really sharp serrated knife and work carefully, you can split them successfully.

Great for mini-pizzas!

These are ok. I like the sweet potato ones better and both have good fiber content.

Ener-G Foods English Muffins, 15.1-Ounce Units (Pack of 6)

These are one of my favorite gluten free items and a regular item to keep on hand. I take for lunch and toast and very filling and easy but cheaper than going to fast food places. I use for mini pizzas, Hamburg buns, bacon, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast, chicken sandwiches, etc. Easy to take on trips or friends and family to eat. Must toast or bake for best favor.

How can you go wrong with buying these in bulk for less than $3 per unit when they can run as high as $5 per unit retail?

Art of Appreciation Gift Baskets Victorian Lace Tea, Spa & Treats Clock Gift Chest

I ordered this for my step MIL because online it looks like a full size gift box, and several of the other reviewers raved about how great it was so I thought I'd give it a try. The box is a little on the small side but is decent. Once you open the shrink wrapped box to get everything out it looks VERY skimpy. I paid almost $70 for it, and it looks like it might be worth $20 if that -and that's only because of the box. The "truffles" and "english tea" as well as the "angel candles" all look like they're from the dollar store. I'm VERY disappointed with this product.

I purchased this item for my company's Mother's Day raffle based upon pictures and positive reviews. I was running out of time, had no time to shop myself and so Amazon was the solution. The item arrived damaged, not enough padding in the box, actually there was no padding at all. The contents arrived all closed in the box too, not nicely displayed as in the picture. The items were cheap dollar store type items, not worth 49 bucks!

I initially tried to return the item, only to get a response that this item is not eligible for return!! After calling Amazon, I learned I could still get a refund, but that they would not accept the product back since it contains some food items. I'm glad I got the credit back on my credit card, so I was able to get something else for this raffle instead. My recommendation, go to the local gift shop and check out your purchase directly. Do not get this item!

Please dont be fooled into buying this item, as it cannot be returned! The box is beatiful the clock is for show does not work, and the items in the box can be found at your local dollar store, and are not as described. Most would think that a description of Victorian Lace Tea, would in fact include Tea, which shows both in the picture and in description..it does not! It also does not include a porceline picture frame described,and shown in picture but replaced by a plastic photo album. I buy everything from Amazon, and am shocked they would allow this to happen.

I paid for a beautiful gift like the picture but i got an article that looked used! The white paint was yellowish. It's a old box with oxidized and broken lock. I throw away the cookies because don't have expiration date.

I bought this gift for my cousin who's celebrating her 80th birthday and she seems happy and pleased about it. I'm kind of disappointed that in these days of age the standard shipping takes 7 full days. I guess i under estimated the standard shipping mail service (thought 4 or 5 days would be enough time)and she didn't receive on the date of her birthday.

Simply Granola Low Carb, Gluten Free, Sugar Free & Vegan

Watch your portion size. Just because it says low carb, doesn't mean you can eat the whole bag. But, on a side note, this is some yummy granola! My husband is pretty picky about his granola and he critiques the various flavors he finds. He really like this as well and he hates the sugar free stuff I try to get him to eat. I actually tried to make my own version of this after I tried it, but I had an EPIC FAIL that included have burned and half mush granola. I would buy this more often, but it is a bit too expensive for me. I would love to have this on some yogurt, but they did away with the SF carbsmart yogurt in my area. Still looking of course! If only they had some plain soy yogurt... no sugar added... I would be in HEAVEN! This product is worth buying once just to try.

Update 6/1/13. Of course I was frivolous and bought this twice more. I just loved it so much that I had to have it again. Ad yes this was after two more desperate attempts to make my own. Needless to say it dresses up some fage yogurt or vanilla ice cream, not to mention as cold cereal. I hate to admit it, but I will probably buy it again.

I like the product and may order it again. However, I felt it was a little expensive for the size of container you receive.

Not bad for a low-carb granola. Does not compare well, taste-wise, to standard granola. I mixed this with my other low-carb cereal and it adds a nice additional dimension of flavor. I did not like it enough to eat it all by itself, however.

It is nice to find something that isn't the same thing you are stuck with at chain stores.

The granola is great for toppings. I live in northern California and down the road is a fruit stand... fresh peaches, strawberries, blackberries.With the granola on top you can eat it cold or top sweetened fruit and warm it... it's like cobbler!

Belle Chevre Go "Fig"ure Breakfast Cheese

I must confess, this fig spread is one of the most delightful things I have ever eaten. I am not normally a big fan of fig, but fig and goat cheese is such a perfect combination. The spread is light, airy and has just enough sweetness. I open this small container and the next thing I know, I'm using my finger to get the last little bits of delishousness out. This is my favorite flavor of Belle Chevre's spreads (a close second to Pimento).

Pacific Natural Foods Hazelnut Non-Dairy Beverage, Chocolate, 8-Ounce Containers (Pack of 24)

Rich, Creamy, Delicious!

The taste and texture is irresistable. Read my review on the almond chocolate version, which this item is quite similar to. Except, I have to say this one is even richer and a favorite.

PROS: Healthy, Low sodium, Vegan, Gluten free, Vitamins, doesn't have to be refrigerated, portable as juice box size, dangerously delicious. And amazon.com seems again to have the best price on this with free s&h for $25+ orders. The peel tab comes off so easily, even better than the almond version.

CONS: If you have (i.e. kidney failure) restrictions, it has more protein than the almond version (which has 1g), and this one has 2g, though is still on the low side.

Drink with delight!

I cannot drink regular milk due to lactose intolerance, so I've been searching for replacements. I tried almond milk and soy milk. They were decent, but nothing I would think about drinking daily. I heard someone mention hazelnut milk and I searched for it on Amazon. It is by far the most delicious milk substitute I've ever had. It's creamy and the packaging is great for taking to work. I recommend this to anyone who loves hazelnuts and needs something different to drink.

I am a dairy lover. While there's nothing wrong with drinking "regular" milk (others might diasgree, but I love my milk...I live in WI, what can I say!), I have tried various alternatives to milk to try and at least reduce my overall dairy consumption. The only problem is that I really don't like the taste of almond, rice, or soy milk.

I recently bought some chicken broth by Pacific Natural, and I really like their company. I decided to see what else they have to offer, and found this chocolate hazelnut milk. Chocolate milk is a real weakness of mine, so I decided to give this stuff a shot as a bit of a healthier alternative. I was afraid I wouldn't like it because it is sold in bulk (I can't find it in stores near me), but to my delight, it is delicious! While it does not have the full body of real chocolate milk, it has a wonderful chocolate taste. This stuff reminds me of SlimFast or other choclate diet shakes in terms of the thinness of the milk as compared to real chocolate milk.

I love that the packages include four boxes with straws, like juice boxes. That definitely helps control portion size and also allows one to easily throw a container for an on-the-go beverage. I also like to put chocolate milk in my coffee, and this stuff works just as well!

So, from a dairy lover and from one who has not really enjoyed other milk alternativesthis chocolate hazelnut milk is awesome. When I use mine up, I will definitely be buying more!

Very easy to digest, great to mix with yougurt, milk, fruits, anything. Not sugar added which is really good! Plain original taste! Delicious.

This is a tasty low calorie cereal, enhanced by some fruit and very little liquid to make a great breakfast. I've eaten it for years, buying several bags at one time which never grow stale.

I live on a low carb diet which I enjoy. Kamut was included in a recipe in Atkins low carb cookbook, so I bought it. It is definitely not worth the cost. Taste and texture are unappealing and it's not as low in carbs as many other tastier products.

Quaker Oatmeal Squares Cereal Cinnamon - 16 oz (4 pack)

This product tastes great and is reasonably healthy. It delivers exactly what it promises. It is well-packaged as well. Buy it.

We love this cereal at our house. Like all boxed cereals it is expensive and I thought I might be able to save on Amazon. Well, for me a 16 oz box often costs $3.99 to $4.29. Four boxes for over $25 is $6.29 per box -and that doesn't even include shipping! RIP OFF!
