just got mine in the mail yesterday... all i can say is WOW! no funky protein after-taste or anything - this stuff is GREAT! mine came out to 30p/18.6c/5f

Any picture of the final product? How big is it? Sounds interesting!
@Francl27 i didn't get to take a picture before i ate it all, but here is one i grabbed from Instagram -
That looks... delicious, actually! How long did it take to make? Can you prepare it in the microwave inside of a cup/mug? How much was shipping? Never heard of them before!
@hgycta its only 2-3 minutes in the microwave using whatever microwavable container you choose. i bought the 5 pack and shipping was $6, but there is a rewards program and you receive a discount code with your order to use going forward.
I contacted them about free samples (I'm cheap too, don't worry @Francl27 xD), and unfortunately they don't do that. However, they said something about a referral program? Do you know anything about this? I would love to give you credit if I purchase them (which I probably will if I'm honest with myself) so you can hopefully receive a discount or something on your next purchase!
It sounds interesting, but I am sure there are recipes floating around that you could make a similar cake for half the price.
It wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to pay shipping on top of the price.0 -
Found the Choco Chip Oreos at Wal-Mart, & I liked them more than the Blueberry Oreos I bought at the Grocery Outlet. The Blueberry Oreos were alright, but I wasn't a fan of the blueberry icing.
The Choco Chip Oreos still don't taste like cookie dough, but it's at least a closer attempt than the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Oreos. I love how the cookie part actually looks like a chocolate chip cookie.
Still have to say my favorite cookie recently has been the Keebler Birthday Cake flavor (the fudge stripe version).1 -

No matter how I did them, 18 times out of 20 they wouldn't peel easily. So I bought some at the grocery store already cooked and peeled. Best idea I've had in a long time. Beware they have a rather short shelf life.
Oh my goodness, I used to have the same problem but I just can't pay that much for the prepeeled. So I found the following fail safe method:
1. Bring water to boil
2. Place eggs gently into boiling water
3. Allow to come back to a boil and boil for 1 minutes
4. Turn off heat and cover and leave for 11-12 minutes
5. Drain and put ice and a little water and let sit until completely cooled
6. That shell will peel right off! I gently crack them all over and then roll between my palms and they will usually slide right off - I'd say 98 times out of 100
Not a new product, but a new method perhaps?
Mine are never cooked enough when I do that either! Drives me nuts. Got to try them in the instant pot next.
Instant pot/pressure cookers do them perfectly, and makes them really easy to peel for some reason.
Just got to figure out the timing!AngryViking1970 wrote: »My no-fail HB egg method:
eggs in pot, cover with cold water
bring to a boil, remove from heat and cover
let 'em sit for 15 minutes
drain and rinse with cold water
It's what I've heard, but with 14 minutes, and it doesn't cut it. Would one minute really make a huge difference? I'm thinking maybe 'bring to a boil' isn't clear enough... at least for me LOL.
Hmmm...well I bring to boil enough so that I hear the eggs rattle around in the pot a little, then turn the flame off.2 -

Posted about these in another forum but thought I'd post here too. Available in 3 flavors. Macros and ingredients are comparable to Quest. Has anyone tried them?
I saw these and they look super similar to quest. I havent seen yet in any stores but I am eager to try them. Still searching for a bar as good as old quest lol.
Powerbar is using soluble corn fiber as well so I'm guessing the taste/texture is pretty similar to Quest.
Darn, I hope they taste better. I will be on the lookout for these. Wonder where they will be available first, maybe target. Wegmans usually doesn't get the newest stuff until awhile after.
A bit off topic, @Noreenmarie1234, but I just wanted to say I appreciate your foodie input on this thread. Cheers! 1 -

When I tried Victory bar from Oh yeah -cookie dough I stopped searching - Give it a try if you have not already.

Whoa those flavors sound pretty awesome from looking at the site.0 -
I just tried the new iced coconut milk caramel mocha macchiato (or whatever it's called) from Starbucks. IMO not worth the calories. It's not bad, but it's not that exciting. Because it's cold, the syrups don't dissolve, so you get weird lumps of syrup sucked up your straw.0
-
has anyone tried these yet? i keep seeing them on IG.
I haven't tried them YET, but I just got a free sample mailed to me. They were sending some samples out to the first so many people to request one (found out about it through FREEFLYS), but once it gets here I'll be sure to let you know what I think!mathandcats wrote: »I just tried the new iced coconut milk caramel mocha macchiato (or whatever it's called) from Starbucks.

That's usually what happens with macchiato drinks; the sauce drizzle sinks to the bottom and you get chunks of sweetness overpowering occasional sips. I loved it. I loved it so much.0 -

Still not in Quest labs here...
And I found the new Artic Zero flavors AND the Halo Top birthday cake flavor... but I'm just not spending $4.75 or $5.75 for a pint for something that just won't be as satisfying as real ice cream. It's just ridiculous.
So I guess I'm just laying off the ice cream for now...
I thought about getting another pint of Halo Top last week, but I got lazy and cheap. At Fred Meyer, they had this:
Way cheaper and the difference was only 20 cals a serving.
It actually isn't that bad and I will probably buy this again.
When I was at Fred Meyer, I also saw this in the freezer:
190 cals a serving. I thought it was pretty good. Needed some moar pistachio nuts, but there were plenty of rich honey veins running through this. Nom!

Tried Sam's Choice Cookie Butter Ice Cream on Monday, & it's delicious! A few times I noticed it was a bit icy, but I loved the cookie bits & it had a great cookie butter flavor.0

Was the protein pretty similar for this and Halo Top?0 -
No, but I am going to be honest and say I only choose to eat Arctic Zero/Halo Top/Breyer's no sugar added on the basis of calories alone. The fact that AZ and HT have fiber and protein is really a secondary concern, particularly since I go over my protein and fiber macros basically every day anyway.1

Of all places I found this at the Dollar Tree today, and well, I had to try it. While I personally wasn't blown away enough by it to repurchase another one (I prefer way more cream cheese frosting), it was actually very good and authentic tasting for 390 calories, which is a lot, but a lot less than a regular Cinnabon. Highly recommend for those craving one of those calorie bombs, it should definitely help ease some of that pain xD

I've been waiting to buy more cookies until I was able to eat some of the Keebler birthday cake ones I bought. Cracking into em on Monday. I'll probably pick up the chocolate Oreo thins or choco chip next. I want the blueberry, but don't shop at Target enough.kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »Found the Choco Chip Oreos at Wal-Mart, & I liked them more than the Blueberry Oreos I bought at the Grocery Outlet.

I loved this so much. Private Selections can be really good! Their chocolate eclair was one of my favorites.CrabNebula wrote: »

Did you weigh it?
It's always a disappointment when I find a 'lower calorie' option and actually weigh it and realize it's actually more calories than what it says. 0 -

I usually do weigh my food all the time but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to! It's frozen in a dish so I don't really think I would have been able to too easily anyways

Nope, just the microwave for less than a minute!0 -
OK I need this ASAP. If anyone beats me please let me know how it is! I just tried their buttermilk pancakes the other day and fell in love, so I really, really want this. I wonder if it'll taste good substituting egg whites for the eggs? Has anyone tried that with instant mixes?

I was wondering about those too!0

I don't know if this is new, or just new to me: Jimmy Dean's breakfast fritattas. I make that kind of thing and freeze ahead, but for those times when I get behind, this is a good, quick breakfast.3
I like your posts too. We have a nice group of regulars here.
