Corazonas

 Corazonas sent over some of their really flavorsome Oatmeal Squares for review. These delightful snacks are very tasty. The whole family likes em.

 What I really like about Corazonas is that all of their products are heart healthy and proven to help lower cholesterol. I love that in a snack. Especially snacks that taste this good.

Check out this great video that shows how Corazonas uses plant sterols to give you the freedom to snack sensibly: 

I got to try all of Corazonas varieties of Oatmeal Squares. 


 Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Squares  taste like a really terrific granola bar with mini chocolate chips. One of my favorites.


Chocolate + oats + nature’s secret cholesterol lowering power. It all  equals you, eating something fantastic. Try one of our delicious  Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Squares.

Cranberry Flax Oatmeal Squares taste like a chewy spice cake with cranberry bits. I like this one alot. Cranberries are sweet. 


This sweet, chewy, incredibly good snack is packed with cranberries,  which are tangy – not bitter. Bitter would be asking you to give up your  favorite foods to lower your cholesterol. We don’t do bitter.

  Banana Walnut Oatmeal Squares have an excellent banana flavor with bits of walnuts intertwined with that oatmeal square goodness.

 Freedom to Snack sensibly also comes in sweet, here it is. Our Banana  Walnut Oatmeal Squares are chewy and indulgent – like a big, soft,  cookie with corners.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Squares are very tasty. The peanut butter in this bar is the crunchy kind. It really adds a great texture to the snack. Oats are not overly soft. The flavor is quite addictive.


Peanut butter – just one more thing you may have thought you could never  have again. We’re happy to prove you wrong. In fact, get this, the  natural, good fat in this bar actually helps our active ingredient do  its job. Here’s to getting the job done.

Chocolate Brownie and Almonds is my favorite. I know I have this thing with chocolate. This bar is a tasty chocolate brownie with almond bits. It makes my tongue happy. I love it when healthy tastes this good. Love it. Love it. Love it.

Okay, this can’t be accurately described as brownie-like or brownie-ish.  This is a brownie. Rich, over-the-top. Which might not match your  perception of a cholesterol-lowering snack. Guess you’ll have to get  used to not being disappointed.

Corazonas also sells:

Tortilla Chips

Potato Chips

both of which I would love to test out.

"The Hotdog Ez Bun Steamer" and "The Steamie 3 pc System"

 Texas Kitchen got to test out "The Hotdog Ez Bun Steamer" and "The Steamie 3 pc System" These are two really cool As Seen On TV products that are worth the money in my opinion.

  Lets start with "The Hotdog Ez Bun Steamer". This fun invention is my favorite of the two. Mainly because I am a hot dog junkie. It is an innovative way to cook your hotdogs on the stove while having the ability to steam the hotdog buns using the steam from the cooking hot dogs.

  The whole family likes the way the buns steam along with the hot dogs cooking. I was afraid the bread would be soggy so I was a bit skeptical. First taste and I was hooked. The store bought bun tasted like it was just baked moments ago. Not soggy at all. The bun was perfect Since we were doing a test we made one hotdog with the bun not steamed. It just wasn't the same. The steamed bun won the taste test hands down. A big difference in flavor and texture.


"The Hotdog Ez Bun Steamer" is super simple to use Y'all know this video from TV:

The Hotdog Ez Bun Steamer has adjustable handles to fit any pot*
Handles suspend the bun steaming platform above the cooking hotdogs. A cross shaped opening allows tongs to reach through, open and grasp to retreive the cooked hotdogs from below without having to remove the steaming grill. The unique shaped handles hold the lid in place for better steaming and create a gap for venting so the water doesn't boiling over.

 Next we got out Hubby's favorite the "The Steamie 3 pc System" This one one cool set up. You can use it to steam. boil deep fry etc...See how incredibly easy it is to make your entire meal in and over one pot.  Here they are boiling shrimp, steaming fish and asparagus and warming up a tasty sauce in the middle. All at the same time. What a time saver. Not to mention less dishes and less electricity or gas used for the stove. Here in Texas it gets plenty hot. The idea of just heating up one burner to make dinner keeps my air conditioning bill down as well. I love this set.
