receive three as a trial, and this flavor begged to be first.
Wow- the sweet cherry, paired with dark chocolate and pomegranate- out of the park good!
I could have eaten 5 of these they were so delicious.
That said, after reading the nutritional info, I was disappointed.
180 calories is a lot for a snack..especially one this tasty. ( unless you want to gain weight)
15 Z% of the RDA of fat, with 5mg of cholesteral, made me think again. Although it is gluten free, has no GMO products, and I can pronounce all the ingredients- it is still a "treat", and should be treated as such.
As far as fibre content....12% of the daily requirement packed into this little bar, redeemed the overal nutritional value.
Although this was a really delicious treat, if you are watching caloric intake- think twice before having one of these bars..

Where do I start! Was on a shopping trip, and it was nearly dinnertime - and frankly, after a long day of drudgery - starting with last night's dinner dishes ( we had guests, and didn't get cleaned up because it was late when they left) , then doing tons of laundry, then having to clear snow off of , then shovel my car out to get out of the driveway,battling heavy traffic on slippery snow covered roads, then a crowded busy store, that had run out of a couple of the items I had specifically gone there for, I noticed these babies on sale. . I figured- why not? I hadn't bought frozen fries for a while, and I was not in the mood to go home & wash, peel, chop up and cook potatoes for anything. And they were on sale for $2.99....
And since I had done so much physical labour that day, I figured I deserved a treat.
I was not disappointed. And to top them off, I added gravy, grated white cheddar, and ketchup. So perfect.
I went to the store again the next day, and bout 2 more bags- NO REGRETS> I did find the $ 3.99 price a little high, but then again, when you factor in your time. . .you have to ask what is it worth. Would have taken me a long time to get the same result.

I saw this recipe, and thought- what a great idea for someone who is on a gluten free diet!
My nephew and my best friend have to be super careful about the wheat in their diets, so having them over for dinner can be a challenge- and really expensive when you factor int he cost of spcial buns, bread, etc. for them.
Since my nephew is also "allergic" to things that even look like veggies, I made them "custom" My friend just had a bout of diverculititus (not sure of the spelling- but basically, a tear in the intestine that has to heal by limiting fibre in the diet for a while)
I left off the lettuce and tomatoe, and made them with a slice of cheese and pea-meal bacon ( pre-cooked, and trimmed to fit) They were a hit- like little mini sliders! The cheese melted beautifully , holding them together.
Can't wait to try with different ingredients..

McCain Super Spirals
I like them straight up, with gravy & ketchup, plus lots of salt & pepper, also great with grated cheddar, and bacon bits.. Really convenient , and tasty- almost like home-made.

Got this at a really good price at a going out of business sale, to try it out. Usually I find it pricier than my usual brand, so this was a good way to test it to see if worth buying in the future.
First, the fragrance was wonderful- I could sniff my pits all day! Haha- I put a little on my forearm to sniff at leisure...But it kept my pits odor free for the 24 hour period- I check just before showering the next day and no stench from them! Impressed.

International Delight French Vanilla Coffee Creamer
I was so disappointed in this product. It tastes like chemicals. Just plain gross. Didn't taste like real cream used, and quite high in calories . Threw it out. Big thumbs down to this.
