Better than Primal Kitchen's avocado mayo in my opinion

Better than Primal Kitchen's avocado mayo in my opinion. I still prefer regular mayo, but I use this one when I'm doing Whole 30.

Being Spanish I know my Tomate Frito - this is a good option. I prefer Orlando as it tastes better; but i can't get that in the USA and so this is a great second alternative - ludicrously expensive though!!

Really a good lowfat mayo alternative. I use this for E meals on THM and it adds a nice flavor.

I have been trying to find an olive oil only based mayo for quite some time and have tried to make it myself several times but haven't been able to get it to where I really like it.  The combination of the avocado oil (which is so good for you) and the limited ingredients in this mayo make me very happy.  The flavor and consistency is great. It is tangy and I can see how some may not like that.  will definitely be ordering more.

I am always torn between buying the yummier peanut butter with the icky trans fat and the healthier peanut butter that doesn't taste nearly as good. Well, actually, I'm not torn, I've just been buying the  icky tasting organic, need to be stirred type peanut butter. I saw the Skippy Natural in the store and quickly scanned the ingredients. No hydrogenated oils... sweet! The ingredients are roasted peanuts, sugar, palm oil and salt. I do realize that peanut butter is healthier without the oil, sugar and salt, but I also know that it's nearly impossible to have the best of both worlds, so it's a trade off. With Skippy Natural I get healthier peanut butter and a fabulous taste! Plus, when I compare it to the nutrition facts in Adams Natural Peanut Butter here's what I get:

  --------Adam's  -  Skippy Natural  Serving size 2tbsp in both
Calories  -  200  -  190
Total Fat  -  16 grams  -  16 grams
Sat Fat  -  2.5 grams  -  3.5 grams
Sodium  -  105 mg  -  150 mg
Total Carbs  -  6g  -  6g
Protein  -  7g  -  7g

So, we're not looking at the much of a difference at all. I will take the better tasting peanut butter in this instance. If the nutrition was severely compromised then I would make a different choice, but not in this case! Now every time I see someone at the store reaching for the gross, hydrogenated peanut butter I want to show them this and compare the ingredients for them and explain that it tastes just as good as what they're planning on getting. I politely mind my own business and move along. I would be awesome if they marketed this stuff better though.  Grab a jar and a spoon and try the creamiest, yummiest peanut butter without the unnecessary trans fat.

I have been on South Beach for four months. I've tried several recipes from this book, including:

The Balsamic Glazed Salmon (yum), Eggless Caesar Salad (good, but I tweaked), Cajun Chicken Salad (sliced chicken breast on top of a salad, not a salad like for sandwich filling), BBQ Sauce (ick), Swiss Cheese and Vegetable Omelet (yum), Warm Spinach Salad with Mushrooms, Shrimp Scampi (double yum), Chicken with Goat Cheese and Spinach (YUMMY!!!!!), Turkey Parmesan (good), Baked Pesto Chicken (pretty good), Mustard Crusted Steak (good), Stuffed Baked Tomatoes (crappy tomatoes - will be much better with my homegrown garden tomatoes this summer), South Beach Chicken Paella (which was surprisingly good), Provolone Chicken Melts (good and easy, but I will tweak to make better), Almond Energy Blast (ick - needs tweaking), and Sesame Green Beans (yum).

Despite trying so many, there are still many recipes I plan to try in this book, including:

Buttermilk Waffles with Jam, Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes, Savory Ham Egg &  Cheese Crepes, Spiced Oatmeal with Dried Apricots and Walnuts, Dutch Apple Pancake, Autumn Veggie Soup, Rustic Tomato Soup, Multigrain Watercress and Cucumber Tea Sandwiches, Creamy Tex Mex Bean Dip with Baked Tortillas, Greens Chicken and Citrus Salad, Turkey Salad with Pistachios and Grapes, Tricolor Salad, Green Leaf Pear and Goat Cheese Salad, Brown Rice Tomato and Cucumber Salad, Warm Salmon and Asparagus Salad, Steamed Halibut with Bell Pepper and Summer Squash, Salmon Cakes, Rigatoni with Turkey Sausage and Mozzarella, Chicken Quesadillas, Rosemary Pork Medallions with Chunky Applesauce, Beef with Asparagus and Mushrooms, Warm Steak Sandwich with Roasted Pepper Mayo, Quinoa Pilaf, Nutty Brown Rice, Sauteed Mushrooms with Thyme, Fruit Salad with Lime and Mint, Creamy Dreamy Strawberry Vanilla Shake, Orange Poppy Seed Cupcakes, Chocolate Berry Cups, Chocolate Walnut Macaroons, Lemon Olive Oil Cake

I am looking forward to trying even more of the Phase 2 and 3 recipes. It has definitely been a great resource. The recipes are all fast to prepare and most of them seem to include simple ingredients. A few get adventurous, but that's ok, I am trying to be more adventurous!!! :)

I've been trying to find "that" cookbook for several years - the one that doesn't have 15 ingredients in every recipe - that helps a new cook (or just an amateur) become more familiar with technique without spending $50 on each meal.  Those books include the Cooking Light Annual 2009, the Cooking Light 5 Ingredient 15 Minute, Weight Watchers (pick one, any one), the American Heart Association, and two Jamie Olivers - Naked and Food Revolution.

This book compares most closely with Naked - and for good reason, it's the one I'm using most right now as I "return" to the kitchen.  As someone who can handle a knife but doesn't have confidence throwing things together, I wanted a book that helped me learn the basics about flavors, and building a repertoire of skills in the kitchen.

I think - and it's early - that Alice's book does just that.  After reading the first few pages three days ago, I was able to walk into my local Whole Foods and buy some basics, and know that I could probably make 3-4 days (if not 5) worth of meals out of what I'd bought.  I spent less than $50 and so far, I haven't had a bad dish.

What I like is that I'm doing exactly what Alice promotes in the intro - by learning a few skills, and practicing them, I'm hoping to be more likely to cook at home this year, with fresh ingredients grown locally.

Even if I can't get all that right - maybe it's frozen, and maybe it's not local - I already know I'm eating healthier.  That's half the battle.  Thanks, Alice and friends!

Please read the review I wrote for Lziano Chilero.  That info was intended for SALSA LIZANO.  Sorry for not reading more closely.  I just saw "Lizano" and took off.

I copied this from my other review so this one would be current

I learned of Lizano salsa while visiting in Costa Rica, used it while there, and brought half a gallon home, because I had no idea it would be available up here. It's great for everything from eggs, to sauces, steaks, just anything that needs that needs a little "kick" without being too spiicy hot. Stir some to taste in mayo for a great salad dressing, but hey, I'm giving my secrets away.  Another one is that this stuff is incredible in Bloody Marys.

This product was so inexpensive and vegan so I had to try it. I believe that it tastes more "mayonnaisey" than I prefer, but it's nothing adding a bit of sriracha can't fix. I use this on everything - potatoes, salad, even pork chops! I love the flavor! At this price, I'll be buying more.

I bought the 5-pack a while ago and have been cooking each pack on and off for about a year and a half.  I just finished making the last packet and finally tweaked it to my liking.  I LOVE butter chicken at Indian restaurants, but I found that if you followed the instructions exactly on this packet, it doesn't taste anything like what I get in the restaurants (please no arguments about "authenticity").  What I did this last time was add MORE butter (around 5 tablespoons...closer to 6), add about 1/4 cup of 2% milk instead of 1 cup of water, about 3 tablespoons of honey, salt to taste (I usually hate adding additional salt when using spice mixes) and coconut milk instead of heavy cream at the end.  I have not tried any other butter chicken spice mixes, but I do like the Kitchens of India one for its nice spice kick.  Not too spicy hot, but enough for you to notice and enjoy while tasting all the other flavors.  It's definitely cheaper than going out, and it's nice to know that I can get close to what I get in the restaurants whenever I get a butter chicken craving.

I purchased both this white chocolate sauce as well as the Ghirardelli version. This one definitely tastes better than the other, however it is super sweet so I can only handle it in small amounts. It's an off white creamy color and comes out relatively thick. I prefer white chocolate over any other chocolate, so I'd recommend this to others who feel the same. Definitely hits the spot.

My family and I absolutely love this stuff. We can't convince the kids to go 100% Paleo like their father and I have, but this is one of the things that they will eat. Tastes close enough to store-bought mayo that I don't notice a difference. It's just a dressing anyway, so taste isn't a huge deal to me. Just need enough to make the food not so dry and add a little kick to it. If you're Paleo and miss mayo, you won't regret using this stuff.

I want to thank Primal Kitchen for making a healthy salad dressing that is also low FODMAPs! So excited about this, especially for those moments when you're too lazy to make your own.

*Disclaimer...I bought this at Whole Foods, so I'm purely reviewing on flavor, not on shipping or supplier*
Personally, I thought this tasted like an expensive Miracle Whip, which I don't remotely like.  I don't feel it's really a mayo product but more a 'sandwich spread' like Miracle Whip.  If you like the flavor of Miracle Whip but want natural ingredients, then you'll love this sandwich spread.  If you are looking for more of a mayo flavor than try Primal Kitchen.  I think it tastes more like mayo and less like a natural MW.

Unfortunately I just don't like avocado oil mayonaise.  The taste is wrong to me and kind of vinegary, which I dislike.

This is the second of these Gits Ready Meals that I have tried. My first was the Jeera Rice & Dal Tadka. This second is the Paneer Makhani. Both are about the same--not bad for a heat-up Indian meal, but not amazing. The ingredients are phenomena for processed food. It's all ... food. Like, actual food. No unpronounceable chemicals or bizarre preservatives. Just the same things I would put together in a pot if I was going to make the same dish.

Perpetration is easy. The rice and dal come in two separate bags, and you can either microwave them or heat them up in boiling water. I went with the water method again. They recommend 3-5 minutes, but I kept it in for 7 minutes. It still wasn't as hot as I would have liked. More lukewarm, and the rice was hard and clumped together. I think for my next experiment I will go with the microwave and see if that is any better of a preparation method.

The flavor was good. It wasn't amazing. Like with the Dal Tadka,  I wish had been a lot stronger. This is "mild," which I'm not a huge fan of.  I "improved" the flavors on my own and using my own spice bottle, which definitely made it better. I know not everyone likes things spicy, but this was on the bland side. Still, yummy once I fixed it up a bit. The paneer was chewy with good constancy. It's definitely not on par with fresh made Indian food, but a nice substitute for when you need it!

All in all it was pretty good. Definitely a level above standard processed food, and the ingredients list can't be beat!
