R and D Diet Cookie Review & Giveaway Ends 12/15/11 at 7 PM EST

Review: 

R and D Diet Cookie company sent me two different kinds of their cookies to try.  I tried the Oatmeal Raisin and the Pumpkin cookies.  I have to say that these cookies are really good and not too sweet.  They do not have a lot of carbs in them so they do not leave you feeling hungry in a few minutes after eating one.  I used them to feel full longer and cut back on bad snacking habits.  I am really impressed with how long each cookie lasted once I ate one.

Hunger will ruin any diet every time!  That's their motto and I agree.  If I get too hungry then I tend to binge.  With the R and D Cookie Diet you will not get too hungry.  Just eat another cookie.  I really felt full and didn't get overly hungry while using these cookies as a meal replacement.

Finally, we have an affordable, natural food that is nutritional, filling, satisfying, tasty, and convenient that will elliminate hunger and allow us to take control of our diet so that we can lose weight rapidly!  This cookie and diet was named for the intensive Research and Development (R&D) project that created it.

The cookies are engineered to control hunger and cravings but they are also good for you.  They are packed with protein, fiber, and good carbs, low on sodium and are naturally low in cholesterol.  The oil I use is lower in saturated fat than conventional cooking and salad oils and is made from all natural soy, olive, and canola.  It's an excellent source of Omega-3's and Vitamin E.  I use a mixture of proteins from a number of sources including whey and soy.  Great developments have been made in the manufacture of proteins in the last decade and I remain diligent in using only the best and most effective proteins available.  The "secret" of the effectiveness of our cookies is the formulation of amino acids and proteins we use along with fiber and the absence of any ingredient that promotes hunger.  There is no animal product except for whey protein so the cookies are considered vegetarian.

You can enter to win a weeks supply of cookies in the giveaway below.  Thank you for reading my blog and participating.

My family and I tried all three of these varieties.  We love cookies so we are kind of choosy when it comes to the cookies we choose to eat.  The vanilla snaps were my favorite.  I loved them to the last crumb.  The vanilla flavor is amazing.  They are so good.  The texture is good too.  I really am a huge fan of these vanilla snap cookies.  The vanilla sandwich cookies are really good also.  They are gluten free which is good since we are almost all gluten free in our home.  The chocolate sandwich cookies were my husband's favorite.  He ate the whole package except for the few I had.  These cookies are great.  I would recommend getting cookies for MI-DEL.  They are sold in a lot of grocery stores, you can click here to find out where to buy these cookies.  My whole family is impressed with the quality of these cookies.  We will be on the lookout for MI-DEL products when we go shopping so we can get more!

Erin Baker's Wholesome Baked Goods Review & Giveaway Ends 7/10/11 at 7PM EST

Review

Erin Baker's Wholesome Baked Goods sent me a sample pack.  I ripped open the box and enjoyed an organic brownie bite right away.  I had the breakfast cookies for breakfast the next two days and I had the other brownie bite for dessert that evening.

The Caramel Apple Breakfast Cookie was amazing.  I really enjoyed this.  It's a meal.  Very filling and held me over until lunch time.  It tasted fresh and good.  I loved the flavor as well as the texture.  Here's some information about this cookie from their website.

A carnival fair treat, without the mess! Our Caramel Apple cookie is packed with caramel bombs, diced dried apples and whole grain oats. This will be a favorite among the kid in all of us!

Whole Grain Oats, Unbleached Wheat Flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Prune Puree, Evaporated Cane Juice, Dried Apples, Unsweetened Applesauce, Caramel Bits (sugar, corn syrup, liquid sugar, skim milk, palm oil, butter, salt, mono- and diglycerides, natural flavor, soy lecithin), Brown Rice Syrup, Water, Chicory Extract, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Molasses, Baking Soda, Vanilla Extract, Natural Caramel Flavor, Sea Salt, Soy Lecithin, Dried Egg Whites, Aluminum-Free Baking Powder, Cinnamon, Apple Pie Spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, ginger).

The next morning I had the Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Cookie.  I tried this one in the toaster.  Heating it up made it so good.  I would recommend putting the breakfast cookies in the toaster.  This cookie is so big and filling.  The texture was great and the cookie was nice and fresh.

A classic! An updated version of the most classic cookie around. Our Oatmeal Raisin cookie is loaded with juicy California raisins, whole grain oats and a hint of cinnamon.

Whole Grain Oats, Unbleached Wheat Flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Prune Puree, Raisins, Evaporated Cane Juice, Water, Brown Rice Syrup, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Chicory Extract, Molasses, Baking Soda, Vanilla Extract, Sea Salt, Soy Lecithin, Dried Egg Whites, Aluminum-Free Baking Powder, Cinnamon.

I received one of these organic brownie bites, double chocolate chip.  I had this as soon as the box arrived and loved every bite of it.  It was good to the last crumb.

The chocolate chip mint organic brownie bite was a delightful snack one afternoon at work.  I had a cup of coffee and ate the brownie bite.  It was delicious and fresh and moist.  I loved the mint flavor with the chocolate.

I really enjoyed all of the products from Erin Baker's Wholesome Baked Goods.  They have agreed to send a sample pack to one winner from my blog.

Smiley Sugar Cookies from Eat'n Park Review

I received a box with Smiley Sugar Cookies from Eat'n Park in the mail on Monday.  I couldn't wait to try these cookies.  I love sugar cookies and these are peanut free cookies.  These sugar cookies are amazing.  I wasn't expecting them to be so big.  One is a perfect snack.  They are large sugar cookies with an icing on top.  I loved every bite.  The sugar cookie is soft and tastes great.  They do not fall apart though.  These would be great holiday cookies.  They are super fresh and wonderful tasting sugar cookies.  You can even have gift baskets delivered. 

The Original Smiley Cookie (from their website)

Made fresh daily by our devoted bakers, who rise with the sun (that’s the way they roll), to measure, mix, cut and bake batch after batch, our Smiley Sugar Cookies are carefully fashioned to reach their deliciously sweet potential with only the best sugar, flour and butter, plus a touch of elbow grease (not really) and a lot of love. Once the baking and cooling is done, the artistry has just begun (there’s a certain poetry to baking, you know). With a flourish that never fails to delight, our bakers then brandish their finest decorative demeanor and set about hand icing each cookie with our signature smile … go ahead, take a moment here.

The Famous Smiley Cookie Face

Like masters who never tire of the defining stoke, they deftly apply the famous face to our Sugar Smiley Cookies, which transcends language to express undying love, true friendship, charity, team spirit, congratulations, good will, good taste and a host of other ridiculously lovely sentiments we can’t go into right now because we get all emotional, which flies in the face of the smile we honor — and that whole gushy tear thing tends to mess up the icing, too. But have no fear. We are pillars of self-control. We have to be. Then our fresh-baked Smiley Face Cookies are delicately packaged and shipped right to you, in a variety of face colors — red, green and blue - which can even be customized if you got something in mind, just click here to tell us what kind. Its never been easier to order birthday cookies online!

We will certainly order from them again.  The whole family enjoyed these awesome cookies.  I love cookies and sugar cookies are my favorite.  These smiley cookies are a home run for our family!
