Knorr Demi-Glace Sauce Mix, 28-Oz Canisters (Pack of 2)

My family and I travel frequently, and being a retired Chef, I still like to eat well, even on the go! We, my wife, and our twin son and daughter, travel and usually stay in nice "hotel" rooms WITH kitchens. So, preparing "scratch" sauces on the road is not convenient. With the Knorr Demi Glace, I can cook up a quick light brown gravy, or an elegant light brown sauce easily with this "instant" sauce mix. One can use this, to add flavor to everything from Chili, to Stoganoff, and many other dishes.

No, it won't replace the freshly scratch made Demi Glace. Nevertheless, it is a great QUICK substitute, and is also easily to convert into several different sauces with other ingredients.

Knorr's Demi-Glace is a pantry staple, but it seems to have been discontinued. What a pity! Whenever a dish needs a little something more, Demi-Glace is the place to start.

This stuff is a great shortcut for a light, rich brown sauce. Not a heavy thick gravy, but a rich glaze. It's beefy, but there are definite vegetable flavors that shine through. A spoonful of it adds a wonderful roundness to any beef recipes that have a sauce or gravy, or a spoonful can make an instant pan sauce with some drippings. I like to use it as a base for a marsala sauce, or a carmelized onion sauce for sauteed pork chops, since it's not as heavy as a gravy. You can do way more than just the standard sauce directions.

Perfect for any type of beef. I've used this mix for years and wish it were sold in smaller packets. The taste is just great!

We purchased this product through Amazon and received it promptly on May 16, 2012. When it arrived, we looked everywhere on the canisters to find the expiration date. None was visible, so we thought perhaps the date was contained within the coding numbers on the bottom of the canisters, but the information was indecipherable to us. We called Knorr Swiss directly for assistance. We were told that KNORR SWISS DISCOUNTINUED THIS PRODUCT IN 2004, and since the maximum expiration date on these sauces is 2 years past the manufacture date, they were seriously expired, and we were told that under no circumstances should this product be used for food preparation. We logged onto our Amazon account to return the product, but were told the product was not eligible for return. We then contacted Amazon by phone and, as usual, they were extremely gracious and co-operative. They confirmed that grocery items are not eligible for return, but immediately processed a full refund for the amount of the purchase to our credit card account. Amazon assured me they would deal with the vendor on this issue, and I trust that they will. In the meantime, be aware that this is not a safe food product. The only reason I gave this even 1 star, is that the product review format will not allow for 0 stars.

Benecol Smart Chews, Caramel, 120-Count Soft Chews

I have been taking this product for the past 12 months. Not only is it simple to take and easy on the taste buds, but as you will read also much more effective than I ever thought it would be. In addition, I have been taking direct source of milk thistle and tudca powder, TUDCA Powder (Tauroursodeoxycholic) 25 Grams + FREE Milk Thistle Powder 25 Grams. I am forty-two years old and exercise regularly and eat moderately healthy.

I recently took a physical for a new position I acquired with a huge company and my total cholesterol was 149. I was completely taken off guard by hearing this number because the last time I had my cholesterol checked was three years ealrier and my total cholesterol at that time was over 200. I was 39 then, and in much better shape physically than I currently am. It is true what they say that the metabolism takes a sharp decline at 40, not joke there!

I assumed my cholesterol must have been at least somewhat lower but I had no idea that such a drastic change would occur. I believe these Benecol Smart Chews along with the recommended dose of milk thistle and Tudca have played a big part in this incredible drop from a once 200+ cholesterol rating. I haven't grew any younger and my lifestyle is pretty much the same as it was three years ago (if not a little more relaxed) so needless to say, these are products I can highly recommend without prejudice.

Not wanting to resort to "drugs" to manage Cholesterol, I did some research on plant Stanols, and plant Sterols. They both seem to have the ability to lower the cholesterol in your blood. However, based on a Johns Hopkins health alert....plant sterols tend to lose their ability to lower cholesterol, and instead start to appear in the blood them selves. Where as plant STANOLS seem to stay active and continue to lower cholesterol. BENECOL is the only off the shelf item that contains stanols instead of sterols. The Benecol spread is good and tastes fine, but the caramel chews are portable so you can easily take them with you. I would recommend the chews to anyone who wants to keeps tabs on your cholesterol....they are reasonably inexpensive, taste good, and have STANOLS in them...and they are portable. I was able to lower my cholesterol by 80 points by consumming STANOLS and watching my intake of cholesterol....

Many reviews on here go something like this: I used this product for two months while eating healthier and starting an exercise program, and my cholesterol dropped 30 points!

Those are worthless reviews, because there are too many variables. I used this product and did not change anything else. 3 weeks, 2 chews per meal (which is about the whole box). Cholesterol had been consistently at 210, just tested at 181. LDL went from 120 to 107. Triglycerides went WAY down (150 to 70), although I'm not sure why that would be. Just one person's evidence to throw on the pile.

I just started using this, so I can't comment on how well it will work to lower my cholesterol, but I want to alert people to inconsistencies in the labeling. The 120-count package is supposed to be a two month supply. On the front of the box it says "take twice a day to reduce cholesterol." If you consumed two per day there would indeed be a 60-day supply in the box. On the back it says, ". . . can help you meet the National Cholesterol Education Program Guidelines recommended amount of 2 g plant stanols/sterols per day. To meet this recommendation, enjoy 5 chews per day."

Each candy as 0.7 g of stanol in it, so if you had 5 a day you'd be getting 3.5 g, not 2. If you want to get around 2 g per day you have to take three of them (2.1 g), which means 120 of them won't last 60 days. (And if you consume them at a rate of five a day you won't even have enough for a month.)

The research says the minimum effective dose is 0.8 to 1 g per day, and the maximum is 2 g per day; therefore, there's no reason to have more than three of these a day, and less than two a day probably won't do any good. Natural sources of phytosterols don't come anywhere near the recommended intake. For example, a half cup of wheat germ has 197 mg of phytosterols.

They are soft, pleasantly flavored, small, and only 20 calories each. I think they're worth a try.

Yes plant sterols help lower your cholesterol, but why pay top dollar for a product that contains partially hydrogenated vegetable oil?! Get your plant sterols elsewhere.

Vino de Milo Dressing - Artichoke Parmesan Pinot Grigio (8 ounce)

I purchased this dressing at a local store and was pleasantly surprised at how good it is. The texture is a little watery for me, but the artichoke flavor is good and the fat/sugar/calorie content is low which is good for you dieters (like me!) I would recommend this dressing, but if you go to someplace like Marshall's or a discount store you can find it a little cheaper than the $5.99 on here. I am looking forward to trying the other varieties!
