Hartley's blackcurrant jam

I think black currant is a fruit that is really not getting it's fair share of popularity/publicity. I read about it awhile ago and how describing it's benefits would start sounding like a snake oil advertisement, "twice the antioxidants of blueberries, four times the vitamin C of orange juice, as much potassium as bananas…."

Ever since I have been on the lookout for black currant containing products and I came across this jam by Hartley's recently. The kids were OK with it.

Guava jelly from Goya

I like guavas especially the ones with pink insides. So when I saw this guava jelly from Goya, I bought it. A total disappointment. It did not have any guava flavor/taste and has corn syrup, fructose and sugar. Yup, all three of them.

With that much sugar, I thought the twins would eat it up (mixed with yogurt) but they rejected it outright. I won't be offering it to them again.

NUTELLA

For me there is salt, pepper and nutella. In a food blog you don't think to blog about salt, right? Which is why even though the kids have been eating it for a long time, I didn't mention it.

Sadly, the twins are not as crazy about it as their amma. But then they have not had a crepe with nutella and bananas. or a nutella pie. or a nutella cheese cake. or a nutella brownie. or a nutella………

Curried red lentil soup from Pacific Foods

The twins have tried many kinds of lentils and lentil soups so this curried red lentil soup from Pacific Foods really did not get a reaction from them.

Pepperidge Farm 15 grain bread

Some days I am a slacker. Then I have to buy bread. This 15 whole grain bread from Pepperidge farm is not as grainy or hearty as it looks and sounds. Actually I was a bit disappointed. The twins though didn't seem to care or just didn't let on if they did.

Trader Joe's mango yogurt parfait

It has mango in it so of course I had to try it. Trader Joe's is a mixed bag when it comes to yogurts and this one is a hit. Probably has something to do with the 23 grams of sugar in it. I diluted it with full fat yogurt and split it between the two.

B-healthy and B-well from Stonyfield

The cold season started and my yogurt is not setting firm every time. So Iam back to flavored yogurts. By now the kids have been eating yogurt every. single. day. For over a year. They are still not sick of it, but in terms of flavor they don't perk up at new ones anymore.
