Kellogg's Corn Flakes, 36 oz

Kellogg's Corn Flakes, 36 ozThese crunchy flakes have been a favorite of mine for a long time. Though I usually tend to prefer a sweeter, more unhealthy cereal to start my day, these are a good change of pace. If I get tired of Cocoa Puffs, I just whip a box of these out of the pantry and I'm set. Overall, great, plain tasting cereal, with nutrition abounding in every bite.

Warning to potential buyers: This cereal gets very old and boring very quickly. If you're like me, you'll only eat this twice a week and stick with Lucky Charms (or something) the rest of the time.

Good 'N Hearty® Instant Oats 8 Pouch Maple & Brown Sugar

Good 'N Hearty® Instant Oats 8 Pouch Maple & Brown SugarI recently tried the Apples & Cinnamon, it has much less sugar than Quaker, has no preservatives or ingredients I can't even pronounce, has the added benefit of flax seed and overall was delicious. I am DEFINITELY switching to this brand for good and would strongly suggest it for anybody looking for the health benefits of oats/flax without too much added sugar or other fillers.

I tried this oatmeal. It was too "natural" for me. I don't like the flax and found the flavor to be bland. If I wanted my food to taste like that I would buy bulk horse feed from the feed store down the street.

Better Oats Oat Fit Instant Oatmeal ~ Cinnamon Roll Flavor ~ 5 Pouches per 4.9 oz Box (Pack of 3 Bo

Better Oats Oat Fit Instant Oatmeal ~ Cinnamon Roll Flavor ~ 5 Pouches per 4.9 oz BoxWell I just heated up my first bowl of Oatfit and was ready for some warm good oatmeal on a cold morning. Unfortunately I had to spit it out after the second bite. It is extra mushy and it leaves an awful after taste. Very artificial and almost bitter. For an extra 60 calories I rather stick with their other lines.

I bought this for a camping trip and would definitely eat it again at home. Unlike everyone else, I do not taste an aftertaste or artificial taste with these. I also used less water than called for so mine isn't mushy when I mix it up. All of the regular-sugar instant oats are mushy IMO, so this product is no better or worse on that score. But zero sugar is wonderful I hate the standard instant oats because you might as well be eating cookies for breakfast. I DO wish this company would ditch the artificial sweeteners and opt for something like stevia. Yes, I do like these but still prefer my home-cooked steel-cut oats or old fashioned oats, but in a pinch these are A-OK.

Low carbs, low sugar, high nutrition, controlled serving, tastes great. Sold! Easy fix for busy mornings, great for an afternoon snack at work or home. Eat with fruit or low sugar or sugarless jam and it's a dessert.

I've tried many varieties of the the Better Oats oatmeal, and up until this point, most have been exceptional. I had high expectations for the cinnamon roll flavor, but this product is truly terrible. It has a chemical flavor that is not just bad, but overpowering, and no texture to speak of. I couldn't even finish one bowl and threw the rest of the package away.

If you haven't tried Better Oats before, don't start with this one, it will ruin your interest in the others! Try Cinnamon and Spice, Apples and Cinnamon, or Blueberry Muffin varieties. The Blueberry Muffin is heartier and holds up as a meal, and the other are perfect for a sweet snack or light dessert.

The box says no sugar added but don't be fooled. It's overly sweet with a strong unpleasant artificial flavor. I couldn't finish it and had to stop eating by the 4th bite.

Harmony Valley Vegetarian Sausage Mix, 5.7-Ounce (Pack of 6)

Harmony Valley Vegetarian Sausage Mix, 5.7-OunceI have been searching for a non meat replacement for sausage. one of our favorite family breakfasts is biscuits and gravy. the ground

beef replacement with my seasonings is ok but this sausage mix with seasoning in it is much better. the fact that it is on the pantry shelf and I don't need to worry about freezer space like with Boca is an added plus. The price is about the same and I don't need to go further than the front door for it. I am glad I took the time to search of it on Amazon. Thanks.

I was very happy with how much one package made! I made more than 8 patty shapes and had plenty left over that i broke up for nachos and spaghetti sauce. The nice mellow spices in this mix worked well with both.Great product to use as a meat substitute!

I'm not a vegetarian but trying to cut down on my meat intake. I must say that this sausage tastes better than the real thing in my mind. I actually use it as a ground meat substitute in chili and other meals. I highly recommend it!

Directly from the company:

Yes, our newest packaging has a little round sticker on it that says "GMO Free." Depending on when/where you saw our package it might not have had it yet. The GMO Free sticker is new as of 2012.

I never dreamed a packaged alternative to Gimme Lean could be this good. Versatile and and easy to prepare. Fries very well! Price is good and it arrived with decent shelf life date

Kashi Heart to Heart Whole Grain Crackers, 8-Ounce (Pack of 5)

Kashi Heart to Heart Whole Grain Crackers, Roasted Garlic, 8-OunceHaving grown up with Triscuit as an occasional treat, I was delighted, not to mention a bit nervous, when Kashi put out their own version of the "woven" whole grain cracker. Previous attempts have, in my opinion, missed the boat, and Kashi, for whatever reason, has been putting the occasional odd ingredient in some of their products making them inedible to certain parts of the population. Kashi Heart To Heart Whole Grain Crackers Original are one of their sure hits. There is no dairy included in these crackers where there is in some of Kashi's other crackers.

The texture is perfect lending the cracker an excellent bite as well as denseness that will hold up to whatever you want to put on them--I haven't tried it yet but I suspect that they will even hold a bit of sauce. Little pizzas!

The taste is close to Triscuit but not the same. If I were to have a side-by-side taste-testing of the two crackers, the Triscuit would fail for two reasons: The Kashi cracker is a bit thicker and provides a more satisfying crunch. Additionally, the Kashi cracker is far less salty than the Triscuit. I have not compared the sodium counts here, just the flavor.

All in all, I highly recommend Kashi Heart-to-Heart Whole Grain Crackers for flavor, crunch and this: when that emotional need to ar#@!gh comes, these crackers make a lovely foil to keep you from doing just that. They are also a great munch.

We love these crackers. They taste great, but they aren't too salty or oily, like a healthier version of Triscuits. They go really well with sliced cheddar cheese and our kids love them.

Purchased these for a nice snack while sitting at work. Most office snack-bars and vending machines have candy and chips which taste great, but aren't exactly great for you. These little crackers are just as tasty and are healthier than what the vending machine has to offer. Also, great at parties with meats and cheeses. And for those that are worried the garlic flavor is not overpowering, but you definitely know it is there. Overall a great buy and in the 5-pack option, not a bad deal either.

We have bought a lot of Kashi Heart to Heart crackers since DH had a heart attack last year, but we've never tried the originals. I didn't realize it, but these are the woven wheat type of cracker like Triscuits, not crackers like the other ones we've been buying. They are not as salty as Triscuits (or they couldn't claim to be heart-healthy), but if you make heart-healthy spreads to put on them using flavorful salt substitutes, you won't miss the salt. They can be used for everything you'd use Triscuits for. I'm really glad these are available.

I've got to admit that I'm not too crazy about the taste of the crackers alone but I recognize their superior quality and health-given benefits. So dip them in my healthy soups and sip my allotted red wine. They're greeeeeeat! :)
