If you are looking for a great sugar free organic apple sauce for your little one (or even for you!) ... It comes in this adorable packaging that has a squeeze top for moms and dads to easily wiggle the applesauce into a bowl. Or, if there isn’t a spoon in sight, an older child could suck it right out of the top.

However, in today’s mail were six different flavors of organic hard candies by Hillside Candy’s Go Naturally brand . ... What was especially nice was you could actually taste the unique honey flavor – it was not some generic sweet taste. ... The cherry and pomegranate were fruity and sweet but did not necessary taste like their respective fruits.

Pinot Grigio, shiraz, merlot and more, are carefully paired with the ingredients, and they end up succeeding in providing a great, and very different, taste. ... The second was that as opposed to many jarred puttanesca sauces, which are ridiculously spiced, the heat of this one was slight and subtle. ... I realized later that the added spice was provided from the wine, like a good Pinot Grigio would, as opposed to hot pepper flakes.

She had a really cute reusable bag but it was stolen hence the review of Flip & Tumble. I particularly like that the Flip & Tumble 24-7 bag is so easy to roll into a ball. The ball I keep in my purse when shopping and in one easy step it becomes a shopping bag when grocery shopping.

Krispers made me smile with their Salt and Pepper and they continued to quench my potato chip thirst. The Sour Cream & Onion Baked Rice Krisps are not as good as the Salt and Pepper but still decent. They're healthier for you than normal potato chips, the Bake Rice Krisps are cholesterol free and lower in fat.

I do not want to go into all the details of this natural product, so check out their website, but below are my results of my research into the effectiveness of MultiFresh . ... In fact, I kept a few vegetable leftovers a bit too long in the fridge, just to test the product and I am proud to say the odor was disguised. In the office the odors of life seem to dissipate into the air, but I know it’s actually being trapped my MultiFresh’s volcanic properties.

I used Dave’s Roasted Garlic & Sweet Basil Sauce in layered eggplant parm dish with spaghetti squash (as the pasta) and it was decent. ... In order to make the dish, I sautéed the squash with garlic and spices and added zucchini on top of that and then breaded eggplant on the top of that. I placed sauce and a few sprinkles of asiago cheese on the bottom of the dish and in between each layer of vegetable.

Loaded with Omega-3 and 6’s, protein and fiber, this cereal is more than just a cereal. ... Add the protein from the yogurt and I just had well over 20 grams for lunch. ... It’s not the pet you have on your kitchen windowsill, but rather a high protein, low calorie, high fiber, gluten-free old school seed that the Aztecs used to eat and use as currency.

Newman’s Own Organics repackaged their line of Newman-O’s in two sizes and added some flavors. Good new for all you O fans. They are delicious! The Ginger O’s were my favorite. They are spicy and creamy, and filled with gingery goodness. Dunking an O in soymilk or hot chocolate makes this treat complete.

The Mint Crème is wonderful as well. It’s got the right balance of mint and chocolate leaving me satisfied with every last bite. The original is no joke either, but pretty plain.

I’m not sure what my favorite flavor of the different varieties of the Organic Soy Delicious Ice Cream sandwiches, but if I were forced to choose, it would be the Pomegranate Mini.

We have enjoyed Purely Decadent’s dairy free ice cream in the past and there are four new flavors that we recently sampled. Read below to see what I thought of them.

The four flavors are Snickerdoodle, Key Lime Pie, Belgian Chocolate and Dulce de Leche.

First up, Snickerdoodle. If you have not heard of Snickerdoodles, they are simply one of the greatest cookies ever. It’s like cinnamon sugar cookie but better and this dairy-free dessert captures the cookie’s flavor into the ice cream without fail. It’s very smooth with chunks of brown sugar flavor that screams to be enjoyed!

Spices in convenient grinder packaging are not a new idea but organic spices are. I have been actively using the Garlic & Herb Sea Salt, the Chile Seasoning, the Italian Seasoning and the Rainbow Peppercorn Seasoning recently and they are all hits. I like the easily-fresh-ground spices, the fun lid for easy measuring and, of course, the flavor.

The Italian Seasoning contains the traditional Italian spices like basil, oregano, salt and pepper. It’s very fresh tasting and works really well in pasta sauce and salads. It is sort of salty, however.

Making salads is an art and I think I made a Mondrian with my creation. Mixed baby romaine and other greens with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, grape tomatoes, Equal Exchange Cranberries and Pecans and some Italian seasoning. No dressing is even required!

With 9 flavors to choose from, you can indulge every night of the week without repeating a flavor. You are only going to get my opinion on a few today, so you will have to check back for the rest.

Mixed Berry is up first. Full of blueberries, raspberries and strawberries, this sweet and bitter treat is a hit. The smooth texture is lovely and an instant classic.

Bake-dried organic apples and a touch of cinnamon makes this simple fruit snack both healthy and tasty. There is really not much to say with respect to the taste since there are just two ingredients. The baking process dries out the apples well enough, but they are not too crisp nor too soft. The healthy apple snack is 100% organic and worth trying out.

Bare Fruit offers many varieties so check them out.
