Gaea Sundried Tomatoes Tapenade, 3.5-Ounce Jars (Pack of 6)

Gaea Sundried Tomatoes Tapenade, 3.5-Ounce Jars (Pack of 6) Review



Bought this initially based on the positive reviews here, but couldn't convince my husband it was worth eating. Then we saw the recipe inside the cardboard wrapper for baked stuffed mushrooms. Turns out, you use a whole jar, plus a few other ingredients (cheese, mainly, no meat) to make a very easy appetizer-sized serving for 3 or 4 people. Wow!! The stuffed mushrooms are absolutely sensational. My husband now constantly reminds me to buy more of this stuff, and our guests rave more about the appetizers than the main course. We keep several jars on hand and give a surprising number away to grateful guests who want to go home and make their own. This is a real winner.

Gaea Sundried Tomatoes Tapenade, 3.5-Ounce Jars (Pack of 6) Feature

  • Pack of six, 3.53-ounce jars(total of 21.18-ounces)

Ty Ling Naturals Kung Pao Precooked Noodles & Sauce Meal, 11.6-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Ty Ling Naturals Kung Pao Precooked Noodles & Sauce Meal, 11.6-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) Review



This is a tasty and vegetarian meal most will like. The pre-cooked noodles were cooked just right, not too soft, not too hard. The Kung Pao sauce is spicy and delicious, with a delightful ginger favor. However, I have an issue with the cooking direction on the box. The direction tells you to put the noodles and Kung Pao sauce into the box all at once, and microwave them for 2-3 minutes. The thing is that the noodles are vacuum-packed. They slide out of the bag squeezed lightly together like a pancake. You will have to separate them vigorously with a fork--a task that takes at least 30 seconds or so. With the Kung Pao sauce in the box, you will have splashes all over the place. A better way to prep the meal is to put the noodles all by themselves into the box first, microwave them for a minute, and separate them with a fork. Add the Kung Pao sauce afterwards, mix in with the noodles and heat an additional 30 seconds or so. You will have a cleaner countertop after the cooking is done.

Ty Ling Naturals Kung Pao Precooked Noodles & Sauce Meal, 11.6-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) Feature

  • New Ty Ling Natural Noodle meals are convenient: the box contains a package of noodles and sauce, simply open each package, pour back into the box, and microwave
  • Ty Ling precooked noodles and sauce are made with quality Asian flavors and all natural ingredients, making these items great convenient meals!
These all natural Asain meal kits are a great way to bring the Chinese restaurant experience into your home

Annie's Homegrown Fruity Bunnies Cereal, 9.0-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4)

Annie's Homegrown Fruity Bunnies Cereal, 9.0-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4) Review



This cereal is great! It's all natural, so I feel good about giving these to my daughter. Much better than the artificial junk in Fruit Loops. The flavor is really good. The color of the cereal is not as vibrant as the box portrays, but it is all natural colors, so I guess you can expect that. My daughter loves this cereal. It's also a great dry snack. She often has it dry in a snack cup on the way to pre-school. It still has a little more sugar in it than I'd like, but at least it's real sugar! It's a little expensive for such a small box.

I got these chips during one of my exertions into my local Asian food store and have continued to purchase them as they were a huge hit in my family. The crunchy corn twists have just a hint of sweetness to add a delightful interest to this fast food experience. No overwhelming flavors, and I couldn't detect a distinct honey flavor - but I didn't miss it either. Highly recommended.

Reggie's Roast Jamaica Blue Mountain Irie Blend Whole Bean Coffee, 12-Ounce Cans (Pack of 3)

Reggie's Roast Jamaica Blue Mountain Irie Blend Whole Bean Coffee, 12-Ounce Cans (Pack of 3) Review



I've been a fan of Reggie's Roast for quite a while now. I've tried the Terrazu and the other blue mountain blend they offer and have been please with all of them. In fact I have all three set for Subscribe and Save!

I recently had gotten some pure Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica and I wanted to compare it to the Irie Blend from Reggie's. I didn't find it really comparable, but the Reggie's Roast has a great flavor for a blend and is a great way to get some Blue Mountain flavor for a good price. Out of all of the Reggie's Roast coffees I've tried, this has to be my favorite.

Reggie's Roast is a good quality coffee company and I will be staying with this company for my day-to-day coffee needs.

Sesmark Savory Rice Minis, Sesame Garlic, 5.25-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) Review



Found these in Florida a few months ago while on vacation. Love at first bite. I am a huge fan of crunchy snacks but I really have to watch the cholesterol intake. These are awesome. They taste so good you are convinced you are eating something decadent. You can fill a sandwich bag with these crispy little rounds and only be consuming about 120 calories for the serving size. They work well with dips but are just fine all by themselves.

Homemade Dressings Italian Garden Salad Dressing Mix & Rub, 3.3-Ounce Containers (Pack of 3)

Homemade Dressings Italian Garden Salad Dressing Mix & Rub, 3.3-Ounce Containers (Pack of 3) Review





At first I wasn't sure about trying this spice mix. I don't go much for vinegar-and-oil salad dressings. However, I do a lot of improvisation in cooking, and I mixed this in with some hamburgers. My teenagers really liked the flavor. I also spread this on top of a pot roast to add some herbal zing to it. And Wow! The pot roast was devoured.

This product has been pretty good so far, maybe I'll get around to mixing as a marinade or a salad dressing.
