Sugar Plum Spice Tea 20 bags

Sugar Plum Spice Tea 20 bagsNothing says, "Happy holidays," to me quite like homemade fruit cake or a cup of hot Sugar Plum Spice tea. I look forward to this Celestial Seasonings specialty every year, as it is normally available only from October to January. The roasted barley malt, chicory root and carob give it a rich, robust flavor--almost like a cup of mocha. Rose hips, natural plum flavor and chamomile flowers add a sweet, fruity taste akin to a fine plum pudding. Ginger root gives it that characteristic holiday zing. Try this full-flavored herbal infusion yourself, and your taste buds will dance with delight!

Was caught a bit off-guard when I was about to purchase this tea and noticed it contained roasted barley malt in the ingredients. Wasn't exactly expecting to find gluten in tea, but you can never be too careful.

I discovered this flavored tea during the Thanksgiving holidays, 2009 at my daughter's house. I am NOT a tea OR coffee drinker but she pressured me to try "this amazing flavored tea" and the rest, shall we say is history! Now I just can't start my day without it. There is no caffeine, however, and all natural ingredients but the flavor is perfect and it stands alone! I would recommend this to anyone, even those "non tea or coffee drinkers". It was introduced as a "Holiday Tea" so it is not supposed to be available throughout the year and it is now almost impossible to find EXCEPT through Amazon. Thanks Amazon and your sellers for making it available for me, all year long!

Arrowhead Mills Organic Maple Buckwheat Flakes -- 10 oz

Arrowhead Mills Organic Maple Buckwheat Flakes -- 10 ozI'm really glad I got a single box of these flakes at the health food store before buying a multi-pack online because I can't repurchase. In fact I shouldn't have purchased it at all after reading the box label at the store, but wanted to check the product out tastewise.

Buckwheat's not a grain, but a seed, and straight buckwheat is relatively low in carbohydrates, which is why it's great for diabetics or people who eat low carb. Unfortunately as a pseudo-grain it lacks binding properties which is why manufacturers tend to add a secondary grain product to help whatever it is hold together. A true buckwheat udon noodle would be lovely, for example, but too often there is more wheat flour than buckwheat and the final product gets carb-heavy.

Unfortunately, the case is similar here. Though this cereal is very tasty, buckwheat is coupled with rice flour (second ingredient) and sugar cane juice (third) and maple syrup (fifth). By the time they're done making this, it's 35 carbs in a cup (and less than a gram of fiber). That's like drinking a non-diet cola.

This could be fixed by the manufacturer lowering the rice content, and eliminating the sugar and maple, allowing us to choose our own sweetener, but I understand the world doesn't revolve around people restricting carb intake. Just wishful thinking.

But if you're a gluten intolerant person and have no blood sugar issues... this is your cereal... and I'm jealous.

Arrowhead Mills products are outstanding, and their buckwheat flour is one of our kids all time favorites especially in buckwheat pancakes where we do little more than add water, a little vanilla, water, and stir... so we figured 'what could be better than our favorite buckwheat pressed into flakes'? Well... almost.

These flakes have a great texture and are very crispy, and they do not lose their crispiness quickly when in the bowl with milk. There is also a hint of maple glaze about them that might add to keeping them from getting soggy.

They are really great with ripe, sweet peaches cut up and added to them, and they are excellent with strawberries and raspberries. However, by when served alone, with no fruit to sweeten the offering, they just do not get an A+ grade from us. Again, the texture and crispness is excellent, but the taste just falls flat -they do not scream "Buckwheat" at all... instead, they are kinda like a better frosted flakes product without the added sugar.

In our humble opinion, buy these instead of buying store bought frosted flakes but make sure that you have a nice, sweet, natural accompaniment to go with them. If you don't expect the earthy buckwheat flavor to really show itself, then you will not be disappointed. Glad we tried them and would do it again if another free shipping deal comes along.

Paleo People Granola

Paleo People GranolaVery yummy! It is an awesome Paleo alternative to granola. It is my favorite I have tried thus far. Add some fruit on top and you are set.

These guys make great alternative granolas -banana, apple, cocoa, and cappucino. A tasty, filling alternative to the junk we often reach for when hungry. Highly recommend, and my toddler loves this flavor too!

I am Not sure how they did it, but these have a chemical taste to me. I would not recommend it.

I really miss having banana nut bread and cereal so this was a happy find. Not only does it have banana chips and walnuts but almonds, pecans, dried cranberries, cacao powder, and much more ...what a tasty combination. This is a moist granola mix not your typical dry stuff. Just wish there was more in the bag but that's how it is with granola ...never enough. BUT for the price, there really should have been more ...so I knocked a star off for that.

Be aware that it's "manufactured in a facility that processes other products which may contain peanuts, tree nuts, soy, dairy, wheat and eggs".

This is a good Paleo snack that is good while traveling or when you do not have access to fresh snacks. I have tried a few of the flavors and think they are all good.

Big Sky Granola Honey Almond Granola, 12-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 6)

Big Sky Granola Honey Almond Granola, 12-Ounce PouchesThis granola is incredible! I tried it at Publix supermarket in florida and was hooked. It's unlike all the clone granolas out there. It's loaded with almonds, oats and honey. It comes in a big slab that you can eat as a snack or break up as a cereal. So addictive and very healthy!

I highly recommend it. The original and cranberry are very good! The honey oat is ok, in my opinion.

I am very disappointed with Amazon. I have been purchasing items from them for many years. As a matter of fact a few of my friends call me an Amazonaholic. My issue is that I have been purchasing this product for quite some time. The last time I ordered two 6 pack of this honey almond granola. When it arrived I received one 6 pack of what I wanted (the two large squares in a pouch) and another 6 packs of this horrible cluster granola that is hard as a rock. I called Big Sky and they obliged me by sending me the product that I wanted. Now this time I ordered it again because the description read the same and once again they sent me not 6 but 12 packs of those nasty hard granola. I got dupped into paying over $60 for something I didn't like, didn't want and can't return.

Fabulous snack. Eat a chunk in the morning as breakfast on the go. Unbelievable, addictively good, great

I've never had anything from Publix THIS GOOD. I bought it by chance once, loved it for a whole week, and then couldn't find it again for a month. It was on sale and I snagged a bag. This is seriously the most delicious granola I've ever had! I can even taste a bit of milk from the way they cook it, it's seriously worth trying. And for 6 pouches at this price? STEAL.

Used to get this at Whole Foods or Kroger, but availability was spotty. So we checked Amazon and low and behold there it was. This stuff is very tasty and nutrionally balanced. I eat it most days for breakfast with Goat Yogurt. Sprinkle some blueberries and now it's dessert!

72 Layer Cream Cheese Biscuits

72 Layer Cream Cheese BiscuitsThese are the exact same biscuits that I ordered from another source for more than THREE TIMES the price. They are, without a doubt, the most delicious, rich, yummy biscuits that you have ever eaten. In addition, they are shipped with dry ice so they arrive frozen, you put them directly into the freezer and then bake them frozen at the time you want them. They are divine. I'm never baking biscuits or rolls for holiday occasions again....the time, energy and effort required just isn't worth it when such heavenly biscuits are already available. My family is addicted to them.

OMG!!! I am so glad that I ordered two dozen of these biscuits because they are so GOOD! They arrived frozen and they bake up nice and high, very tender and you can taste the cream cheese layer by layer. They are perfect as an addition to a savory meal or as a dessert or breakfast. For example, the day they arrived I made a dozen for a steak dinner that night, the next morning I had a taste for something sweet for breakfast so I decided to use two of the leftover biscuits with some brandy butter from Dean & Deluca with some fresh strawberries, blueberries and Reddi-Whip and I had a delicious breakfast. I highly recommend these biscuits!!!!!

Historic Lychburg Tennessee Whiskey Sweet Tater Butter

Historic Lychburg Tennessee Whiskey Sweet Tater ButterI enjoy carbohydrates. My guess is that you do too. Sometimes they get to be routine and boring. A trip down to old Lynchburg will renew their awesomeness. I made roasted new potatoes and sauced them with this, served a side of scalloped potatoes, garlic bread and pasta alfredo. Angel food cake for dessert. Great meal.

A little salty so serve lots of soda pop to the kids.

Nature's Path EnviroKidz Organic Gorilla Munch Cereal -- 10 oz

Nature's Path EnviroKidz Organic Gorilla Munch Cereal -- 10 ozIt is the 11th of May, 2011. My doctor has just informed me that my Jimmies are terminally rustled.

I had no idea how to react. Would any reaction I had be legitimate? Or would it be tainted by the state of my Jimmies?

I've been living with RJS (Rustled Jimmy Syndrome) for almost a year now. I've tried more "cures" than would intimidate even a cancer patient. At first I tried wearing a three-wolf shirt. It helped with my self-esteem, but it didn't do anything about my Jimmies. I even tried buying a $2,000 HDMI cable, hoping the multidimensional X-Rays that would be exuding from my television would be enough to unrustle my Jimmies on a molecular level. That was $2,000 wasted.

I had no hope. That is, until I found Gorilla Munch. The primary ingredient in Gorilla Munch, Love(tm), provided high enough levels of necessary nutrients to unrustle even my Jimmies! After consulting my doctor, I've received the news that the rustling in my Jimmies is in regression, and I should expect to have completely unrustled Jimmies by August 2012.

I cannot thank this cereal enough for what it's done for me.

Before buying the gorilla munch my jimmies were always rustled. Now all I can say is one bowl a day keeps the rustles away. 5/5

I would really recommend this cereal for those who experience frequent rustling of their jimmies. When I feel like my jimmies are rustled or are soon going to be rustled, one bowl of Gorilla Munch amazingly unrustles them, much to my pleasure.

Everyone knows the old saying: "A box on the table keeps my jimmies stable." But is that just more of an old wives tale, or does this archaic rhyme actually hold some truth to it?

I, like many others, had a tough time making it through the day. I would drag myself out of bed at 7'oclock, and sigh as I began my daily routine. Shave, shower, put on my suit, hastily eat a bowl of Cheerios, and then hurry out the door. That's when I would begin to feel my jimmies being rustled. Sitting there, stuck in traffic, as a BMW cuts me off. I finally pull into the parking lot, and somebody has stolen my usual parking spot. My jimmies become rustled even further. I get into the office, head to the break room to get a cup of coffee, and there's nothing left in the pot. It's only 9'oclock in the morning, and already my jimmies have been extremely rustled. By that point I figure my jimmies cannot be rustled even further, when my boss comes in and yells at me for only working 12 hours yesterday. What he doesn't know is how late I stayed up working my *ss off for him, only to have my wife walk in on me making cereal at 4'oclock in the morning. She asked me, with stress in her voice, what I was doing up that late and I reluctantly replied, "because I've lost control of my jimmies..." By lunch time, where they're always out of hamburgers, my jimmies lay on their deathbeds from the constant rustling.

I didn't think there was anything I could do. I had come to accept the fact that my jimmies may be eternally rustled, a condition my physician diagnosed as Rustled Jimmie Syndrome, or RJS. I looked on the internet for answers, but it seemed like nobody knew how I could keep my jimmies unrustled. Finally, somebody contacted me with a tip: "There is no need to be upset, try the cereal Gorilla Munch. A box on the table will keep your jimmies stable."

At that point, I was willing to try anything. I rushed to Whole Foods and found a box of Gorilla Munch. Even after just looking at the box, I could begin to feel my jimmies becoming unrustled. The gorilla on the front had such a calm look to him. I got home a placed the box on my kitchen table. That gorilla on the box seemed to stare in to my soul, as if trying to hush me, and plead with me, "Shh, no tears. Only dreams now." After my first bite of the delicious cereal, I could tell my jimmies were heading back to a peaceful, unrustled state.

The next morning I went through my normal routine, but this time, I munched on breakfast with my new gorilla friend and his amazing cereal. The world seemed brighter, as if that gorilla's laid-back, calming attitude had pulled a golden blanket of deliciousness over my jimmies and tucked them into bed. Suddenly, being cut-off didn't rustle my jimmies. They were no longer rustled by having my parking spot stolen, or even there being no hamburgers left at lunch. Even after a yelling from my boss, my jimmies remained unrustled.

I cannot recommend Gorilla Munch any more highly. I'm a new person. You cannot even imagine how unrustled my jimmies are.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the rustling of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, unrustles the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the unrustler of jimmies. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to rustle and destroy My jimmies. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon rustlers.

Here's what we got. 6 1 oz bowls which sell for 1.09 ea at Target or Walmart add the shipping and the cost of 2.00 for ea total came out to be 3.99 for ea 1 and I repeat 1 ounce container (a large box of cheerios in the supermarket doesn't cost 3.99) We will never do business with these folks again. No customer service at all. We have given up not worth the aggravation anymore.

I love these. They are so easy for our 16 month old to eat independently. I always have one in my purse for when I am at the store or doing errands. So easy to take out and give our baby when hunger comes on suddenly. They can be a little bit crumbly, so I personally prefer to give them to our baby when we are outside rather than in a carseat or somewhere else that is harder to clean up. It's not a huge issue at all. Eating in the shopping cart or in the kitchen, for instance, is fine. I prefer these strawberry ones over the grape (or at least our baby does)!

Wheatena Hot Cereal 20 oz - 6 Unit Pack

Wheatena Hot Cereal 20 oz - 6 Unit PackThis is the great cereal of my childhood (which used to be produced in a town named "Wheatenaville", honest! It has tons of fiber and a nutty taste and really stick-to-the-ribs breakfast. Even my little 18 month old grandson loves it.

Glad I could find it at Amazon. However, one caveat: the price that its sold at plus shipping makes this a gourmet indulgence indeed. Buyer, beware. You've gotta love it to buy it. However, I bought a case of it anyway.

The product specs describe it enough and so have the other reviewers. It's a HOT breakfast cereal. Best to add just a pinch (not more) of salt when you cook it to bring out all the flavor. When done, add milk (I like it just right, not too thick and not too runny) then a dash of sugar (or some Splenda). Especially on a cold winter day, you have yourself one of the healthiest cereals around. For sure!

Stash Tea, 30-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6)

Stash Premium English Breakfast Black Tea, Tea Bags, 30-Count Boxes****

Stash's Chamomile Caffeine Free Herbal Tea is one of their totally natural teas, containing only chamomile flowers. It is rather weak, but a fine tea---just use two teabags. Many people will find this tea too subtle. I think that Stash's more natural teas seem to be a little weak and undistinguished, while their flavored teas are super-powerful, erring on the side of too powerful for me, overwhelming the tea drinker with all types of strong added flavorings. If I had to pick, I'd always take subtle, as you can make these teas, like this chamomile tea, stronger by doubling up on the bags, but you can't make the strongly flavored teas weaker or less annoying.

Stash Tea had their 35th anniversary last month, so they've been around a while, and they are moving in the direction of more organic and loose teas, more true flavors instead of added flavorings. I appreciate that their chamomile is so pure, but wish it could be a little more flavorful.

Still, recommended.
