[REVIEW] WOW Baking Company






In the past, I haven’t had much experience in wheat and gluten-free products. It wasn’t intentional, I just wasn’t sure exactly on the benefits or how it would taste versus other products that did contain wheat and gluten. Well, after having WOW Baking Company products, I’m happy with what I tried!! I didn’t like all of the products that I received, not because they tasted bad, but because I don’t like certain things such as things raisins or nuts in cookies/brownies or similar things like in this case, cranberries. I received Chocolate Brownie, Oregon Oatmeal cookie, Ginger Molasses cookies, Lemon Burst Cookies, and Peanut Butter Cookies. I wasn’t as big of a fan of the chocolate brownie or the ginger molasses cookies. The chocolate brownie was just a little more rich than I was anticipating or wanting. The Ginger Molasses cookies were pretty okay, but ginger seems to make me nauseous. The peanut butter cookies were good- I could taste the lack of gluten and wheat. Did I forget to mention that these cookies are SUPER soft??! My favorite cookies were the Lemon Burst! I couldn’t put them down, they were so soft, gentle in my mouth, and wonderful in flavor! The other flavors that I wish I could have tried was the snickerdoodle and chocolate chip. I’ve had both of these kind of cookies, but it’s different trying them as wheat and gluten-free! You don’t realize how much there is a difference until you’ve tasted it!

[REVIEW] Quest Nutrition Natural Protein Bars




I seen Quest Low Carb Gluten Free Protein Bars somewhere and their flavors sounded SO delicious! I felt compelled to write them about reviewing their products! My husband unfortunately was not a big fan, but I believe that protein bars are something that you want to eat for a purpose. They’re NOT candy bars so it’s not all chocolate and peanuts kind of thing! There were only a few flavors that I didn’t care for. The benefits of a protein bar are not only for its convenience, but also if you workout at all then it’s really great as it helps maintain and building muscles! You don’t have to workout to be eating proteins bars, but it’s best for you right before or just after a workout! I didn’t get to eat all of the bars that they sent me because there were so many, but I got to try a lot of them to know that Quest brings you premium tasting protein bars! Protein bars just like protein shakes don’t taste like other candy bars or shakes like you get through fast food. They’re to help you, which usually means that it’s not going to taste that great. Quest was nice that well, they put in some great flavors into something that typically doesn’t taste as good so that you could enjoy them more than just needing to use them! My 3 favorite were flavors- Lemon Cream Pie, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Peanut Butter & Jelly. I was getting full eating these proteins bars, which is another helpful them just after a workout. It’s putting that substance in you without being bad eating before or after working out.

Cinnamon Roll- tasted like a cinnamon bun, but not too rich so I enjoyed it!

Apple Pie- it was a little rich in flavor, I had trouble actually eating all of it because of its flavor. It also had pieces of apple in it.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough- taking it out, it looked just like the Cinnamon Roll, but not as flavorful. It was a little on the bland side so a little disappointing, but still not terrible.

Strawberry Cheesecake- SMELLED DELICIOUS! Tasted wonderful too! Definitely had a strawberries AND cheesecake taste without the unhealthiness of eating the real thing!

Lemon Cream Pie- aside from not being a creamy or pudding taste- it did taste like Lemon Cream Pie! It had a light lemon/crust taste! Loved it!

Peanut Butter & Jelly- it had a slight jelly flavor, but mostly tasted like peanut butter, which was really fitting for a protein bar!






Quest also sent me Quest Cravings Protein Peanut Butter Cups. Now, I’m a huge fan of Peanut Butter Cups- typically, anyway. The peanut butter in the cups was actually just fine and tasted great and a little normal for typical peanut butter cups. The chocolate, however, had a dark chocolate taste on it with an after taste. I was not a big fan of these. They were also HUGE in size for peanut butter cups!

The other flavors that were sent to me:
Peanut Butter Supreme
Chocolate Brownie
Mixed Berry Bliss
Vanilla Almond Crunch
Banana Nut Muffin
Chocolate Peanut Butter
Coconut Cashew

[REVIEW & GIVEAWAY] Sweet Andy's Cookies


When I heard about Sweet Andy’s Cookies, I was delighted and I wrote them about a review! I was honored when I got a reply and accepting for me to review their cookies! They sent me a variety box of wonderful cookies! They sent me the flavors of:  Mint, Triple Chip, Chocolate, Oatmeal Raisin,Chocolate Chip, and Sugar Cookie. My favorite was Triple Chip which had chocolate chip, white chocolate chip, and peanut butter chips in them!  I didn’t think they could get so much flavor and wonderfulness into one cookie! All of their cookies were huge and super soft, but not too soft where they crumbled everywhere! My husband’s favorite was the oatmeal raisin. I don’t care for raisins and before I even got an optionof eating them, my husband swiped them from me without a second thought! He LOVED them and wished there were more! You should have heard the noises that he was making while eating these cookies! To say the least, these cookies were great- beyond great! The cookies arrived 2 weeks ago and they’re only just now (what is left) to get hard around the edges and barely at that! I don’t know how they made such awesome cookies and for them to stay soft so long, but welove them! A friend of mine, said that the mint were really good, but I won’t use the word she did. I’ve tried the mint cookies and they were great as well, they weren’t too strong on the mint flavor, which I preferred!  The sugar cookies were kind of light and fluffy feeling eating them- just wonderful! Thechocolate chip were really like any chocolate chip cookies aside from being bigger and softer than your average cookie! The only ones that I didn’t care for as much were thechocolate ones. I love chocolate, I’m just not big on justchocolate alone, but I still liked them because they were really soft.
You can find their cookies to be able to buy for yourself ontheir site! They’re well worth it!
Follow them on Facebook and Twitter!
They’ve also been generous to offer one lucky reader to have the same box of goodies that I received!
