Sale at Netrition, Including Dreamfields

I just finished my netrition order because tomorrow, Thursday, is the last day for the Dreamfield pasta sale of $2.19 a box. (More on Dreamfields here and here.) I ordered a lot of it to keep in the pantry. (For more on netrition, click here.)

I also ordered the following products:

• Keto Jams (the best tasting low sugar jam out there, and Keto is now out of business)

A whole lot of syrups and let me tell you why. My kids love Slush Puppies and Slurpies and Italian Ices in the summer. There is no way that I can keep letting them eat these sugar laden products, but I have to substitute something else. I was able to purchase a slush machine yesterday at Costco on clearance for $29.97 that looks like it will make great slushes (I hope!). With these syrups, the kids might be satisfied with the substitutes, and I can make fun summer drinks with them by just adding a bit of rum for the adults!

• DaVinci Watermelon Syrup and I already have a DaVinci pump so it will look just like the slush syrup. If the watermelon flavor is good, then I will try grape and raspberry in the future.
• Baja Bob's New Martini Mixes in Sour Apple and Blue Raspberry! Obviously, I won't put the liquor into the slushes for the kids, but if the syrups taste like Sour Apple and Blue Raspberry, the kids will love them, and they will be a cool treat for the summer. (Also, much cheaper than buying everyone slushes out!)

Of course, I'll let you know how they come out once they get here.

• CarbQuick. I haven't tried it yet, but I just received an advance copy of a book that I want to tell you more about that would make this product obsolete, but I have to do a bakeoff!
• Black Soy Beans. I've been looking for these everywhere. I want to try them in my chili. High fiber and low carb.
• Erythritol Granular Powder. I want to try this plain to see what happens.

I own a low carb store in Dallas and I wanted you all to know that Atkins has discontinued a huge number of their basic products and we have no idea why.
Their Ketchup, Steak Sauce, BBQ sauce, dressings, bake mixes, frozen breads/bagels, pita etc and Endulge cookies as examples. It is as if the whole food manufacturing world has given up on Low Carb. Strangely, my store is doing fairly well because I am finding smaller manufacturers to fill in the gaps.
Just FYI.
PS: The Davinci syrups are great! We use them in our Milkshakes, coffee and mixed drinks galore.

Re: the black soybeans -- I've used these for a while, in anything that calls for pinto beans or the like. They're great in Chili, in 3-bean salad, etc. They really aren't "black" they're more of a brown color, despite the color of the beans on the label!

If you got the canned Eden brand, which is what I usually use, my recommendation is: for most uses, I rinse the beans before using. They come in a juice/sauce that includes seaweed (it's cooked down, you wouldn't know it's there) which is good for you, but the flavor/consistency could change the flavor/consistency of the dish you're adding them to.

hi .. great site :)

ive been considering getting one of those slushie machine.. I dont have any kids, but personally used to love those things!

davinci is great.. I am in love with their caramel syrup, am going to buy another bottle of the mint (to use in my chocolate shakes) and perhaps I will try out the irish creme. I like these MUCH better than the atkins syrups, and certainly there is a wider variety to choose from.

thanks for your site, I hope you dont mind if I post a link to it on my site for future reference (and visitors as well)
