Bumble Bee Tuna Salad Kits - 9/3.5oz

nice product, nice product worth every penny and i most definitely needed it for my diet. a purchase that you couldnt get a better price for. excellent product and a recommended buy for those fish eaters

I initially purchased a few varieties of the Bumble Bee Salad snack kits to take out deer hunting with me. I was looking for something easy to carry, didn't take up much room, was tasty, and would last for awhile without spoilage.

The kit comes with a 3 ounce can of tuna salad, 6 crackers, and a small plastic paddle to spoon the salad on the crackers. The tuna is in a metal can with a foil lid and the crackers are in a small cellophane (foil looking) pouch. The little plastic piece is just floating around in there.

After being carried and tossed around for a few weeks, I tore open a pack. The crackers did not hold up too well to the abuse and were mostly a stack of pieces and crumbs. The cardboard was splitting open allowing dirt to get inside, but at least the little plastic thing was still in there.

The taste of the salad was actually quite good. I did not think it had an overwhelming fishy smell which could be beneficial if you are eating it in close quarters to others who might not like fish. There is more than enough salad for the crackers which is a nice surprise as most snacks seem to make you ration the spread.

If you are on a diet, this meager snack is definitely not worth the 300 calories. If you are looking for something portable to take on the road, hiking, fishing, hunting, or a snack to send to a soldier in the field, this is a handy, self contained snack. If the packaging was a bit more durable to protect the crackers, I would say this would be pretty close to the perfect field snack.

Love these convenient lunch boxes. I am a big fan very flavorful and can store a number of them at the office.

I love these little packages. The tuna salad is so good, and the crackers are great. I bought these for my mom who doesn't get much time to eat at her desk, so she just fell in love with these. They have a long shelf life and need no refrigeration. She keeps them in her desk drawer, and she loves having them there for an anytime snack or lunch.

I tried one yesterday, and now I get it. They are really great, the crackers are fresh and tuna is really tasty. Now I'm going to order more for me. I also bought her the version with the peaches and a cookie too. It's the same great tuna salad and crackers, but with a little side of peaches and a cookie. Great deal.

Cherrybrook Kitchen Gluten Free Dreams Pancake Mix Chocolate Chip -- 18 oz

These are the very best gluten free Pancakes I have found in 4 years. Whole Foods used to carry them, but stopped. So I hunted them down and bought a case, thank god for Amazon. I took them to a workshop I taught in Hawaii recently and they were a huge hit with my clients. They use a very good quality chocolate chip and they melt in your mouth. Ahhhhh I will have to make them again soon... maybe tomorrow morning. lol

You will never be able that this is everything free!! My friends and family inhales the waffles I make from this mix!!

Post Marshmallow Pebbles Cereal, 10.75-Ounces Boxes (Pack of 3)

I jumped on these Marshmallow Pebbles because they are gluten free and looked like something similar to Lucky Charms. The marshmallows are identical but that is about where it stops. This cereal is extremely sweet -the pebbles have a somewhat strange smell and the color is something left to be desired. The marshmallows mask the flavor of the pebbles which I also think is off. Marshmallow Pebbles are okay in small doses, even my small children only requested one bowl when normally they would want multiple bowls of their "treat cereal." Sorry Post, but these aren't my favorite.

Sure was expecting the marshmallow pebbles pictured. But was sent the other kind with barney on the box. At least the box with Fred was actually consumeable.

The boxes I got with Barney have huge white round chewy marshmallows and giant round flat brown flakes. No color. It is nasty. The flakes dissolve before you can eat them and the marshmallows melt and disappear quickly. Also the flakes are so thin they just stick to the sides of your bowl or cup and to the bottom of your spoon.

Kellogg's Rice Krispies Gluten Free Cereal, Whole Grain Brown Rice, 12-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4)

My son has autism and is allergic to gluten among other things. I was so excited to see that Rice Krispies had come out with a Gluten Free version until I read the ingredients. BHT is NOT healthy! It is an ingredient in jet fuels, rubber, petroleum products, electrical transformer oil, and embalming fluid. The MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for BHT says the following: Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Combustible. Ingestion causes Abdominal pain. Confusion. Dizziness. Nausea. Vomiting. The substance may have effects on the liver. The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms. When Chex went gluten-free, they did the same thing. Yes, taking out the gluten is healthy, but adding BHT is not! I would have loved to have been able to buy my son "normal" cereal, with cute characters on the front. He would have loved it, but in the autism community, we are trying to get the toxins out of our kids, not put them in. I will continue to be a Erewhon Twice Rice Cereal customer. At over $4 per box, the price is steep, but I know the only ingredients my son is ingesting are organic brown rice, organic brown rice syrup, honey, and sea salt and he loves it. Shame on Kellogg's for putting BHT in our children's cereals!

These taste just like the Rice Krispies I remember as a kid!! I cannot even express my joy in being able to make AND eat Rice Krispie treats with my children. It is a tradition that many take for granted, unless you can't have gluten. These Rice Krispies still provide the "snap, crackle, pop" like the original version but don't contain gluten. I think I need to start a weekly delivery via subscribe and save. They make me feel normal. :)

Another reviewer was upset about the price being more than regular Rice Krispies) and though this does upset me too, it became a small issue after I tasted the gf version of Rice Krispies. They taste just like the regular version and I am so excited about making GF Rice Krispie treats! They are still cheaper and taste better than any other GF rice krispie type cereal. I am not sure when or if GF Rice Krispies will be available at a store in my area-so THANK YOU for making these available to us here online!

One of the main draws of this cereal was not only that it was gluten free, but also that it was made with whole grain brown rice. Whole grains both taste better and are better for you, and with the variety of whole grain products on the market today, there is no reason why anyone should settle for less. Unless, of course, you are gluten-free, and then your problems take on an entirely different nature. So it is with an eye for health and not just for Celiacs that I write this review.

First of all, as a gluten-free cereal, it does what it sets out to do: recreate the experience of regular Rice Krispies. And it does! The familiar snap, crackle, and pop are there, and though the cereal gets soggy a bit more quickly than the original, the diference is negligible. And of course, since there's no gluten, it won't make those of us who are gluten-sensitive sick.

But nutritionally, how does it compare to its gluten-laced counterpart? Well, first of all, it's heavier. The serving size is merely one cup compared to the original's 1 1/4 cups per serving. But one serving of each is still 33 grams. The gluten free version is very slightly lower in calories (120/serving as opposed to 128), but a little higher in fat (1 gram of fat and 10 calories from fat as opposed to 0.3 grams of fat and 3 calories from fat). It seems like a lot, but both are still extremely low-fat, and a serving of gluten-free rice krispies has a whopping 2% of the daily recommended amount of fat. Interestingly enough, the original has 0.1 g of saturated fat, while the gluten-free version has none at all.

The gluten-free one is lower in both sodium (190 mg vs. 299 mg) and sugar (

Joe Roundy Egg Ring Pack 6 -Perfect for Breakfast Sandwiches - Wholesale Price

I use these at least every weekend for eggs or pancakes. Easy to use, I spray once before putting in pan, but not really necessary. They are easy to clean, which I do in the top rack of my dishwasher. My grandchildren love these because of the egg faces.

Batchelors Beans 420g(14.8oz)

We visited Ireland last year and enjoyed the full breakfast. When we wanted to recreate it at home, I researched the ingredients and found that the baked beans are in a tomato sauce, not brown sugar like the American variety. I ordered these and they were perfect! Tasted just like the ones we had on our trip. Thanks!

Glutenfreedas Cranberry Cashew Honey Granola (8x10.5oz) ( Value Bulk Multi-pack)

My grocery store stopped carrying this brand of Granola and I was very upset. Was so glad when I found it on Amazon. Tried different brands but it just wasn't the same. As far as Gluten Free goes, this is the best and may even beat all the others as far as I am concerned. I would highly recommend it. I usually add raisins, chopped pecans and some ground flax seed to make it even better and eat it with almond milk.

Gerber Graduates Breakfast Buddies - Apple Cinnamon Cereal, 4.5-Ounce

My son likes them very much, so I have no complaints. 9 more words required, now 5. 3 more words

My daughter doesn't like the other 2 flavors, she will only have this one. And this is as convenient as it gets, because I'm not a morning person, nor do I myself enjoy breakfast. So it's very easy to give her something that is healthy and easy to serve at 8 am.

This is my grand-daughter's favorite breakfast....although she likes all the flavors. These little toddler meals are simple, easy, and best of all, loved by my little munchkin (17 months old). She lives two hours away with her mother, who is in college, so I send these meals to her apartment so that she has them there, as well as when she's with me (every other week). They may be a little costly and not on a college student's budget, but I'm happy to ensure that my little munchkin has healthy meals that she loves and that make her feel independent (she can feed them to hershelf). The size of the meat and carrots and green beans are perfect for a toddler.

Gerber 2nd Foods Chicken and Chicken Gravy -- 2.5 oz

There aren't any reviews on here, and it may be cheaper to get this at your local grocery store, but I thought I'd share a little.

My vet says this food is great for sick cats, as it doesn't smell like canned food but it gets something in their belly. Can't speak for babies, but even when she's refusing food due to medication or illness, she will still eat a little of this baby food.

Now if only they made a pumpkin flavor I could give to my cat...

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!

Freedom Foods Tropico's, 285-Gram Boxes (Pack of 5)

read about these on the celiac diva's facebook page. decided to give them a try and WOW! no gluten, casein, soy and most importantly .... they taste FANTASTIC! very appealing colors (all natural) so the kids will love them too. Highly recommend everyone try these!

The product itself was fine. I bought it for my son's preschool, as he's very sensitive to food dyes and they were planning to do a "froot loop" project. I figured the 5 boxes would be a good donation to the school to use in place of artificially dyed cereal rings with all of their classes. While the rings were a little smaller than the typical "froot loop" and the colors were not quite as bright as shown on the box, they were still colorful and the teachers tell me the kids thought they tasted good, too.

Unfortunately, as with many other reviewers' experiences, I received only one box instead of the five that are stated as coming in the order. I contacted Amazon and they quickly sent me five new boxes at no charge, but it seems like this is an ongoing problem that certainly needs to be addressed. While Amazon gets a thumbs-up for their quick fix and good customer service, I shouldn't have had to request a new order in the first place.

I purchased a case of Tropico's after seeing them advertised on a gluten free blog. I was skeptical but once I received them (very quickly I might add) I was not disappointed. The texture is virtually identical to the gluten-fruit loop version. They have a nice sugar coating and are very colorful. The flavors are all natural so its obviously NOT identical to the traditional version's flavors but you can avoid all of the chemicals and colorings so its really a bonus. My kids love these so much, for breakfast and to use in craft projects. Great job Freedom Foods!

This cereal tastes great. The colors aren't quite as bold as what is shown on the box, but it uses natural food colorings, so I could really care less. I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars only cause it's so expensive and the box is a little bit smaller than a normal cereal box. If it were bigger or less expensive, I would have given it 5 stars. But otherwise it tastes great. Also, I ordered this and it's supposed to be 5 boxes of cereal in the order, I only received 1 box. I contacted Amazon and they actually overnighted me a whole new shipment of 5 boxes, that arrived on a Saturday morning. Great customer service! Thanks!

Kind Healthy Grains Cinnamon Oat Clusters with Flax Seeds -- 11 oz

I have used this product for a couple of months and I love the taste and the fact that I have grains in my morning yogurt concoction! I put it in Greek vanilla flavored yogurt along with blueberries, sliced almonds and local honey! I am satisfied all morning long without needing a snack. The great part is I have almost all food groups in my breakfast and it is gluten free! My only complaint is that Amazon is charging w-a-y too much for this little bag of grains. Everywhere else you can get it for 4-5 bucks! Why are you charging so much Amazon? You need to renogotiate with your supplier!!

This granola was good but not $8 good. I probably won't buy it again unless I can get it on super sale.
