Oskri Coconut Bar, Original, Gluten Free, 1.9-Ounce Bars (Pack of 20)

I have been a bit disappointed with one of my favorite snacks the last year or twoJennies Coconut Macaroons. For some reason they just have not been as good as I have experienced for the last decade or more that we have enjoyed them. I was disappointed as so many companies have compromised the original purpose of making non sugar laden snacks, including using carob in place of chocolate.

Jennies used to have bothusing honey instead of sugar.

Well, this past Christmas I got a package of Oskri Coconut bars. I was not sure what to expect as the ingredient list is pretty simpleBrown Rice Syrup and Coconut!

When i opened the first bar, it was complete excitement. These bars are DELICIOUS.

Not as overwhelmingly sweet like Jennies, these have a delicious sweetness that is subtle but fulfilling. The bars are wrapped and very easy to eat. Moistness is wonderful and the flavor is delightfully simple!

I liked these so much that not only did I end up getting a subscription of them, but I found out my mother did so too!

These are wonderful simple bars if you want a nice snack that is not overly sweet yet satisfying. I highly recommend them.

My husband loves this product and eats them frequently. I personally do not care for coconut but have found these to taste similar to the cocont part of an Almond Joy or Mounds candy bar without the super-sweetness. They consist of only two ingredients which is appealing to a few of our food conscience friends.

Coconut seems to be one of those things that people either love or hate. For me, I love it. I've always loved coconut since I was a kid.

These Oskri Coconut Bars (the original ones) are nothing but delicious coconut and rice syrup (to add sweetness and probably help with making the composition into the bar shape they are). These are like macaroons shaped into a bar except these bars aren't near as sweet or sticky as some macaroons nor do they have the multitude of ingredients many macaroons do. I like them.

One caution would be for diabetics and those watching their glycemic index and intake. Rice syrup can have a higher GI that table sugar so something to be aware of.

I do not know the origin of the coconut used in these bars and was not able to find any information on the Oskri website regarding ingredients used. I would like a little more disclosure on the company and the manufacture of the bars. I know the website talks about importing some of the Sesame bars (although they appear to no longer do this). Scant information on the company so I would really be a little more comfortable with more available information and the source (Country of Origin) of their ingredients.

Otherwise, a delicious bar which is well complimented with a couple squares of 90% Dark Chocolate by Lindt. Lindt Excellence Supreme Dark Chocolate 90% Cocoa, 3.5-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)

Back To Nature Classic Granola, 13.5-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 6)

This granola is great!! It has no nuts, which is hard to find in granola so I can use it in recipes that my daughter in law eats, who is allergic to nuts. It does not even say it is produced in a facility that processes nuts. It is fruit juice sweetened, low in fat,and simply delicious.

After trying multiple brands and flavors of granola, this one tops them all. I mix this granola with fresh fruit every day for breakfast. Very low sugar content. No cinnamon, raisins, or nuts, no flavors to interfere with the fruit. When a plain granola sells out every week in a cowboy town in Texasyou know its' good stuff! Buying it in bulk from Amazon from now on!

We have enjoyed the Back to Nature Classic Granola for several years, and suddenly it is almost impossible to find it locally. Recently, I was able to purchase another hard-to-find product on Amazon for my daughter, so I decided to try Amazon again for the granola. The order arrived quickly and very securely packaged. I was skeptical about buying 6 pouches at once,but they had an 8-month expiration date. The first package we opened was very fresh. A very positive experience!

I purchased this as a gift for my ex girlfriend's family. Even though we are breaking up, I wanted to thank them for their hospitality over the last year I was very pleased with the product when it arrived. For the cost, you get plenty, and it looks nice, especially if you would add a bow and some plastic wrap to the package. Unlike some of the other like products on amazon, you aren't mislead on the quantity of items receivedwhat you see here, save for the flowers and ribbon of course, is what you get. I hope her family appreciate it, and remember me as a good guy.

Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce 32 oz

I agree with the first reviewer. It is absolutely the best. It does cost more, but it is worth every penny, because it tastes like it came right out of an Italian kitchen. I bought two bottles of this sauce and made a delcious lasagna with it. I browned 1 pound of ground sausage, 1 pound of ground beef, added the 2 bottles of sauce, and then added 2 fresh cloves of pressed garlic. In between the layers of the meat sauce and pasta, I added lowfat cottage cheese, freshly chopped parsely, and grated sharp cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. You could use this sauce in so many different ways and would never be disappointed with the outcome of your meal.

This sauce is handsdown the best I have ever had out of a jar. A little pricey compared to the regular sauce but this is remarkably better.

I have always loved this sause and have used it for years feeling guilty the whole time.

My grandma would kill me if she knew I was using Jared sause, but no more.

They have stopped using San marzano tomatoes and is no way near as good.

Back to making my own sause..

I have always been a fan or Rao's Marinara sauce and willing to shell out the premium price of $7-$9 a bottle. However of late (I would say within the last 3-6 months) the recipe or process has apparently changed. The sauce is no where near as fresh tasting as it once was. The sauce is now more homogenized and bland to the point that I will no longer shell out the premium price for a product that is no better then sauces selling for $2 a bottle. It is sad that the company has cut corners in the way that they have (perhaps they have expanded production and are using a new supplier). I hope that they return to their original recipe or drop the new manufacturing source.

Considering the price point and the average quality I would rate the current product as poor.

I would be interested in other opinions.

Sign me an unhappy customer.

Just thinking about this stuff makes me hungry. I added a bit of red wine to give it a little kick, served it over some Rustichella Pasta Penne and my family ate the whole batch. Absolutely great stuff.

J&D's Natural Bacon Salt(Pack of 3)

This is a fantastic idea but I wish I had tasted it first. There is a bacon-like taste but the smoke flavoring is overpowering. In moderation, the taste is pretty good. If you like liquid smoke, you'll like this.

When these products were offered as the deal of the day, I read up on them and started salivating at the prospect of all that bacon taste in a jar. I also researched the J&D website to check out the nutritional info and found that all the other bacon salts except the natural one contained MSG. So I went with the natural.

The product has a very smoky aroma, but underneath it all you can still tell it is salt lots of salt. I think the paprika must add a lot to the sensation of bacon, as well as the smoky smell and flavor.

I have tried this on a few things and it does give food a bacon flavor although of course it is no substitute for the real thing. It's healthier, though; while it still has lots of sodium at least it has none of the other bad stuff. It is good to use as a condiment to sub for bacon when you have the craving but don't want to spend the time making it or eating it and getting fat. I give it three stars. It is good to have around and serves a purpose, but it is nothing fantastic.

I guess I expected too much of this product. I wanted a salt that actually had the taste of bacon. Try as I could, it was very difficult to discern. I did not like the "garlicy" after-taste either. Don't remember ever eating bacon that had the taste of garlic. If this were re-manufactured as a smokey rub, it might make the grade.

Want J&D's Natural Bacon Salt(Pack of 3) Discount?

What a disappointment! First, this product should not have the name Bacon Salt. If you are familiar with the infused salts made for gourmet cooking with flavors such as thyme or rosemary, you will notice that this is a flavoring powder and not a salt at all. The predominant flavor is sort of a yeasty garlic and paprika with a small amount of smoke. There is practically no bacon flavor whatsoever. I tried the so-called natural product since I am allergic to monosodium glutamate. This product makes the claim "No MSG Added", but fails to inform the consumer that they have added autolyzed yeast extract instead. As anyone who is sensitive to MSG should know, autolyzed yeast extract itself contains free glutamates. It is a not so clever ruse to add MSG while claiming none has been added. Even the FDA is aware of this deception and has gone after a few of the larger offenders with truth in labeling claims.

My recommendation is that unless you cannot eat bacon, you might try preparing your own bacon salt at home. There are some great recipes for making things like bacon jam and spreads using real bacon and I am sure making a true bacon flavored salt would be a simple trick. The product concept is great, but the execution is horrible.

GOLEAN Crunchy! Bar

If you're a former junk food junkie like me, then you'll get an idea of what these things taste like when I describe them as a more fibrous (chewy) version of rice kripy squares with a chocolate coating on the bottom. They really are that delicious. And at 170 calories with 4gm of fat (1.5gm saturated), 9gm of protein, and 5gm of fiber, they are a healthy alternative to many other types of snacks that one could indulge in (pastries, candy, etc).

These are easily my favorite protein bar and I've tried over a dozen kinds.

Edit on 9/27/07: This review pertains to the chocolate peanut Go Lean flavor. I just noticed that Amazon is grouping reviews for all of Kashi's bars together, so without specificity in the review it's impossible to know which product is being reviewed.

If you are on Weight Watchers, there is no better snack bar. I eat them for breakfast and, get this, they are only TWO POINTS. You can buy Weight Watchers own bars and they are about one-third the size. These are satisfying and come on, they have one side that's coated in chocolate! I also like that they have plenty of fiber five grams, and are loaded with many essential vitamins. I bought a case of these bars and am about to buy more.

YUMMY!

This bar tastes very good! The consistency of it, however, is like a rice cake. That kind of stale popcorn texture. But the taste more than makes up for that. High in fiber and protein makes this bar perfect for an on-the-go meal. This bar doesn't keep you full as long as the Regular Kashi GOLEAN bars, but it does curb you appetite for a while.

I just submitted a review of the Chocolate Peanut Bliss bar, a product I've been enjoying regularly for the past couple of months. This bar is very similar to the other flavor in terms of nutritional information as well as consistency, but I don't like this one quite as much. To me the "caramel" flavor in this bar does not much resemble caramel and actually has a bit of a malty flavor. I do enjoy these on occasion for variety, though, and obviously some other reviewers liked the flavor of these more than I did.
