Meh...

I haven't been super excited to settle in and write up my experiences so far because they are all just fair or less on all the things from my Netrition order.

The exception being those sugar free chocolate chips.  They rocked!

First, We tried the Guy's Award Winning Sugar Free BBQ Sauce.  In the words of my husband.  "I wouldn't give it any rewards."
I like my BBQ sauce to have a little zip.  The original in this was much to sweet and just nothing special.  The spicy one is better, but not by a lot.  It's not bad, but it's just not anything like our very favorite sauce from a restaurant called Bar-B-Cutie, that we loved so much,  we used to order their nice, sugary, sauce once we moved far away from their Acworth, GA location.

Next, the Cabquick.

Meh.  I have only tried it for pancakes.  I added some chocolate chips to the boys, but kept mine plain.  They were very flat, the texture a bit off. (As it seems to go with grain free baked goods.)  My 7 year old said they were great with sugar free syrup, the 10 year old and I both felt they weren't really worth eating.  In the end Mr.10 threw his out and I covered what I ate of mine in peanut butter.
I will try some other things since I have the carbquick, but no more pancakes.

The Low Carb Bread Mix, by Bob's Red Mill was another fail.

The texture was spongy and there was no taste.  It was basically a boat for butter.  Maybe it would have been okay soaked in a soup, but I just threw it out after sampling it.
Mr. 7 tried it as cinnamon toast and made quite the scene about how yucky he thought it was.

Pizza crust by, Great Low Carb Company, the one I way over paid for.  Yeah, it was fair.  Not bad, but I would never intentionally pay $7.99 for one.  I might buy them again if I got 4 for that price.
It just didn't taste that great to me, and I threw half of it away.

The sugar free marshmallows are fantastic, the chocolate covered ones, so good!  I could eat a whole bag (which is only like 8 marshmallows.)  Problem is, they give me terrible gastric issues, even just one. So in the end they get an F too.

So the only things I have left from my order are the Swerve, which I am sure will be fine, as it's just a sweetener, and the angel food puff , which I am not holding my breath on liking. (Update to come these puffs actually are amazing!)

I am calling these low carb items mostly a bust unfortunately.
