Discount Dixie Carb Counters Classic Instant Mashers - Low Carb Potatoes Substitute


Hands down the worst "food" I have had in 6 months of Atkins eating, and very possibly vying for the worst thing I have EVER put in my mouth.

It looks like powder, floury coming out of the package. But with some liquid it comes to a reasonable look, simulating the appearance of mashed potatoes. That is where the resemblance ends. On the first bite, you start out with the hope that here is a product you can use. Nearly immediatly you will notice the textural difference. There is a grainy dustyness that is apparent. But, its bound to be different, so you power on. Texture is only part of it, and the difference is not horrible, just different.

Very very soon thereafter, your tastebuds will tell you the rest of the story. There is no "potato" taste. It tastes more akin to some sort of wheat product. Ok, whatever. But then you realise there is another taste. Something akin to alum powder. And it is horrible. So much so that you swallow quickly and wash it out, and take a rapid bite of something else to get rid of it. a few moments later, you will convince yourself that since you paid for this, you will try again. It couldnt have been all THAT bad. But it is. And the third little nibble 20 minutes later is equally horrible.

Later that night you may notice that it drys more like a dough than a mash, and wonder what happens if you bake it. The answer is nothing good. Same taste. Not worth the time.

Do yourself a favor and skip this product. I hate cauliflour, but even blended cauli is better than this. I am stumped to think of ANY food item that is not better than this. Not pickled pigs feet, for sure. I suppose Durian is a match, but I would literally rather eat worms. If you buy it, don't say I didn't warn you.Get more detail about Dixie Carb Counters Classic Instant Mashers - Low Carb Potatoes Substitute.

Cheap OrgraN Pizza and Pastry Multimix, 13.2-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 8)


This is a staple for our gluten free household. It is quick, easy, requires no additional ingredients other than water (may or may not add package of yeast). It makes a good pizza crust, is easy to handle without being too fragile. And believe it or not the crust actually browns on the bottom. Which is great for a gluten free pizza. Cooks well on a pizza stone, heavy mini pizza pans, or classic stainless steel pizza pans. It is a big hit with my school age daughters friends who cannot tell it is gluten free.Get more detail about OrgraN Pizza and Pastry Multimix, 13.2-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 8).

Buying Sans Sucre Sugar-Free Low-Fat Lemon Mousse Mix, 3-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)


The Sans Sucre Lemon Mousse Mix is a very good tasting and light diabetic friendly snack.

The lemon flavor is not overpowering and doesn't have a "fake" taste that other diet products seem to have.

The suggested serving size is a little small as we got 3 reasonable size servings instead of the four indicated on the packet. We also discovered that if you over whip it, the mousse mix makes a nice topper as well.

We also like the Sans Sucre Mousse Mix - Chocolate Cheesecake a lot!

Buy Brown Family Pancake Mix, Blueberry, 24-Ounce Bag (Pack of 4)


So-so pancakes with a heavy, bready flavor. Very salty. Includes tiny blue dots which add almost no blueberry flavor. Mixes from the grocery store are better and far cheaper, plus they come in an easy-open box instead of a cutesy sewn-up bag.Get more detail about Brown Family Pancake Mix, Blueberry, 24-Ounce Bag (Pack of 4).

Purchase Stonewall Kitchen Traditional Scone Mix, 14.37-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Order Jell-O Gelatin Dessert, Cherry, 3-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 24)


The jello gets a five star rating, but the price isn't a deal. I didn't do the math before I purchased this from Amazon, but I checked my supermarket for its price afterwards. The supermarket sells it for 65 cents, and the Amazon price for this item works out to 86 cents a box, so I guess I won't be buying it from Amazon again.Get more detail about Jell-O Gelatin Dessert, Cherry, 3-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 24).

Where To Buy Microwave White Bread Kit GF



My daughter was diagnosed with a wheat, egg and peaunt allergy at 2 years old. Trying to find wheat free foods that a my child liked was a Challenge to say the least! We threw away so many products that she wouldn't touch. I didn't blame her!! I tried them too and they WERE nasty!! The Fast n Fresh line was such a wonderful discovery! I now had a quick alternative for my daughters diet. She LOVES the bread. She begs me to make it so she can lick the bowl. I have made grilled cheese out of it. It turns out okay. Becareful, It burns quick!! She also really likes the pizza crust.
I agree with the other post. If your expecting a bread like consistancy, you will be disappointed. The bread is similar in consistancy to a pancake. I think it is rather tasty and I will munch on a piece myself. I has a pancake like flavor to it.
There is a review on the hamburger buns that has a rant on the sugar content. my opinon is that, there are so few products on the market for Wheat, egg, and gluten free, If they have to add sugar to make a good tasting product so be it. My daughter doesn't get much candy or sugar in her diet and I would rather not deprive her of a bread or pizza crust. Her diet is mostly protein and Fruit since those items are naturally gluten free.Get more detail about Microwave White Bread Kit GF.

Shop For The Cravings Place Dutch Chocolate Caken Mix, 25-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6)


After trying every cake mix around to accommodate my son's numerous allergies, this one not only fits the bill but it is really delicious. It is rich with tasty chocolate and is plenty light, unlike so many other GF products. The leavening is already included, so there is no fussing with egg-replacer--all that is needed is water and the oil of your choice. This is one cake that the entire party likes! Highly recommended! Also check out all of the other Cravings Place products--all are terrific.Get more detail about The Cravings Place Dutch Chocolate Caken Mix, 25-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6).

Sweet 'N Low Gingerbread Cake Mix Best Quality


Wow.
This gingerbread is terrible. Truly terrible. Inedible, even. It's not just because it is sugar-free. Of course sugar-free cake is going to be a little different and less rich. But this is way, way worse than other sugar-free baked goods. I have had sugar-free chocolate cake and loved it. THIS mix is terrible. There are many reasons:

- The batter is like a mousse, that just gets hard when it bakes. So it looks like crap because it doesn't smooth out as it bakes. Every spoon-mark is still there when you pull it out of the oven. It looks really weird. You could not serve it to company.
- The cooking time on the box (for the loaf pan) is ten minutes too long.
- There is no ginger taste, or cinnamon, nutmeg, or spice flavour in this "ginger" bread. It is flat and tasteless.
- The lack of other flavours allows the nasty aftertaste from the Sweet & Low(tm) to bloom with full force.
- The gingerbread is lacking in body, because it is as light and fluffy as a mousse. It is not helpful for dieters because it is not satisfying to eat because when you eat it, you feel like you haven't eaten anything. Strangely, this gingerbread mousse is also rubbery. Rubbery stiff mousse that dissolves in your mouth.

The overall experience is like biting into a vaguely sweet sponge. Then it dissolves. And then the bitter chemical aftertaste kicks in.

I have NO IDEA how a slice of this gingerbread could be 160 calories. There's nothing in it, it tastes nasty, and it is gross to chew on! You can have a gingerbread Pop Tart(tm) for 200 calories, or a bakery gingerbread cookie for 120 calories, and they are full of fat and sugar. How can this sugar-free, taste-free, light and fluffy rubber crap be 160 calories?Get more detail about Sweet 'N Low Gingerbread Cake Mix.

My husband loves rice pudding, and so when I saw this on a grocery shelf I bought a box to try. It is delicious and easy to make--just as tasty as any homemade I have tried. After that first purchase I was unable to find it on store shelves, so I bought in bulk from amazon.com.

Low Price Cinnamon Monkey Bread (Single Pack)


I had planned on making monkey bread from scratch, but serendepitously, I discovered this mix on Amazon. It tasted absolutely amazing! It was really easy to make - you make it from scratch, but the package provides all the ingredients. The dough rose really, really well and the cinnamon sugar combo was the best I've ever tasted. This monkey bread has made me swear off Cinnabon forever. It really is just as good as anything I've had commercially made!Get more detail about Cinnamon Monkey Bread (Single Pack).

Save Microwave White Bread Mix Refill GF


I have 2 kids on a gluten free diet. We have to pack their lunch everyday for school, which is hard to do because all the bread they don't like unless they can put water on it and heat it up to make it soft. BUT with this he said it was perfect. Nice and SOFT!! Now he wants me to buy more so he can take it to school for lunch! it is pricey but what gluten free food isn't. For about $5.50 I can make 4 sandwiches.Get more detail about Microwave White Bread Mix Refill GF.

Cheapest Betty Crocker Warm Delight Minis - Chocolate Raspberry Decadence, 2.46-Ounce Packages (Pack of 9)


A friend introduced me to these about 6 months ago, and they have become a staple ever since. My weakness is dessert. I can stick to my diet all day long, but in the evening I MUST have some type of baked, preferably chocolate, dessert. I was having a very hard time finding something to fit the bill, satisfy my sweet tooth and still stay on track - sorry those 100 cal cookie packs were not cutting it lol. I had feared that these would taste 'fake', but surprisingly they are very yummy! They are so much better and easier than the "No Pudge" mix. Completely hit the spot, leaving me satisfied, especially during that time of the month. Personally, I don't always mix in the accompanying "flavor pack", so you can also have plain chocolate flavor when you prefer by just omitting it (although the flavor pack taste is not overwhelming). I like to add fresh strawberries and some ff/sf cool whip for a real decadent low calorie treat. Couple tablespoons of water, and 35 seconds in the micro and voila!
I am so happy Amazon finally started carrying these. When I can find them, I usually pay $2.49-$2.99 each a pack. These work out a tad cheaper. I have also tried the larger sized ones and believe it or not, they are a little too rich and 3 quarters the way through I got that "ate too much/sick" feeling. I definitely appreciate these for the single serving size - makes my cheating guilt free.Get more detail about Betty Crocker Warm Delight Minis - Chocolate Raspberry Decadence, 2.46-Ounce Packages (Pack of 9).

Buying 123 Gluten Free Peri's Perfect Chocolate Bundt Poundcake Mix, 38.08-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 3)


I have not tried this brand before today, because in my B&M store it is 19.00 a box.(I still thought it was high for a cake mix on Amazon, but bought it anyway). It is really wonderful. I found that it made a reg. bundt cake and a loaf pan ( so many Wfgf mixes make a single layer). My bundt pan must be smaller because the first time I filled it too full and had an oven issue and this time I was able to fill a loaf , and a bundt pant 3/4 way up , and they rose right to the top of both pans. My family loved it enough to fight over who was going to get the last box for their birthday cake.. and I loved it enought to eat the whole piece , something I hae seldom done since the WFGF diagnosis . This is really yummy , and I will buy it again.Get more detail about 123 Gluten Free Peri's Perfect Chocolate Bundt Poundcake Mix, 38.08-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 3).

Buy Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix- 7.5 lb box


This brownie mix creates dense, chewy, chocolatey, deliciously San Franciscan brownies. It is amazing. The Ghirardelli chocolate makes the difference.

You will never use another brownie mix again.Get more detail about Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix- 7.5 lb box.

Purchase Arrowhead Mills Cookie Mix, Chocolate Chip, 12.9-Ounce Units (Pack of 6)


I thought it was funny that I bought this product without knowing it was a mix. I read the header very quickly and just thought it was packaged cookies. But no, it is cookie MIX and I guess I should have noticed that since it is right in the title.

This is the first time I have ever tried baking with a cookie mix. If you are used to the convenience of the cookie dough that you buy wrapped up in plastic logs then you might be in for a bit of a surprise. Mixing up the dough can get VERY messy (it is extremely sticky). However, with a cookie mix like this you have a lot of flexibility in the ratio of ingredients (I like to add some extra butter to make the baked cookies more chewy). Also, this mix has really large chocolate chips in it--I love that.

I removed a star for the addition of 'natural flavors' in the mix.Get more detail about Arrowhead Mills Cookie Mix, Chocolate Chip, 12.9-Ounce Units (Pack of 6).

I bought the Hogan's Brown Irish Soda Bread to help our travel group revisit Ireland. One of our very favorite things while in Ireland was the incredible soda bread, served with every meal. Hogan's was the easy (very) and sure fire way to recapture the fun. The flavor was excellent but perhaps not quite as dark and deep as the breads we had been served. That was probably just a regional difference, as the Hogan's was wonderful.Get more detail about Hogan's Brown Irish Soda Bread Mix, 16-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4).

I don't rate this 5-star because of it's high sugar content. Nevertheless, I consider it a kitchen staple. This is one of the few flavors I use (Cranberry is also good) to turn the "dessert" course into VEGETABLES! I grate/finely slice/chop vegetables and nuts (green colored vegetables, such as green cabbage or celery yield the most attractive result with Lime)and stir them into the Jello before it has completely solidfied. Use LOTS of vegetables--the role of the Jello is simply to bind them together & add color.Get more detail about Jell-O Gelatin Dessert, Lime, 3-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 24).

Low Price Dixie Carb Counters Country Biscuit Mix


The first time I made the Dixie Carb Counters Country Biscuit Mix, I thought they were dry little sand biscuits. It came with a second bag so I tried the suggestion on the back to add shredded cheese (I also used some garlic powder to taste). It really reminded me of the Red Lobster Cheesy Biscuits you get at the restaurant. My husband couldn't believe it when he saw me eating the biscuits again since I almost choked the first time! The biscuits came out moist and tasty when I used the shredded cheese so I really warmed up to them after I made them a little differently.Get more detail about Dixie Carb Counters Country Biscuit Mix.

Cheapest Deluxe Cupcake Studio Baking Activity Kit


WOW this was super expensive BUT it actually was verrry tasty! We purchased it at Toys R Us on Clearance for $9.00. we failed to read on the back of the box as to what actually was in this kit - there is nothing other then the cupcake mix, frosting, liners, sprinkles and a tube to use for decorating. The tube was very hard to fill, but once filled it really was quite fun for the kids (6 & 4) to draw on the cupcakes. It doesnt supply the food coloring which for this price you would think they would. Fun cupcake decorating ideas in it though - very easy for kids to understand! It was fun and very tasty BUT I would NEVER EVER buy it again for that much! Insanely expensive! i will take the information I learned from this and make cupcakes from scratch and let kids draw items on them with the information they gave!Get more detail about Deluxe Cupcake Studio Baking Activity Kit.

I love this cookie mix because the dough holds together perfectly, even through multiple rolling-outs. When the dough gets a little room- temperature the cut cookies still hold shape! Baked, they are a soft cookie yet sturdy enough for lots of decoration. They taste a little less sweet than a regular sugar cookie but I prefer that since the icing is nearly pure sugar.
