ICECREAM

Chapman's icecream is the best I've had so far available @ most Loblaw's           Gets my 5 out of mega scoopzTM  review!  

Breyer's makes "Smartscoop" frozen desert
in chocolate & vanilla.   But it's the chocolate that get's the top honors!  I find while the taste is very good the texture is a little odd, remember it's frozen desert not icecream so it has a texture similar to frozen yogurt but not the bitter taste.  What's good about it is it's much lower in carbs than Chapman's.
available @ most Loblaw's or IGA's

Nestle no-sugar  This is my least favorate mainly because it's too low in fat.  Flavores are chocolate, carmel, and vanilla.

Mmmm! Products worth mentioning

CHAPMAN'S ICECREAM

Vanilla, butterscotch, & dutch chocolate
available @ most Loblaw's or Super C
But read the label & watch those carbs!

***

STEELS GOURMET CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steels makes some of, if not the best Chocolate sauce. Used ontop of Chapman's vanilla icecream- heaven! But read the label & watch those carbs!
I can only find online.

***

ATKINS PANCAKE MIX

This product still has that little funny taste but if you use LC syrup instead of the water, it improves it 1000%!
available @ most Pharmaprix's

***

CORN BREAD MUFFIN MIX

I use it for fish & chips: mix one part mix to one part club soda & deep fry!
Some pharmaprix's have a little shelf near the pharmacy counter. I've seen fudge brownie mix & other muffin mixes.

DREAMFEILD'S PASTA

Available @ Loblaw's for a limited time only.

 

Products that...well, just plain SUCK!!!

PIE CRUST MIX CARBSENSE

wow does this ever suck! Nasty taste & not a single flake!
