Stop by and say hi!!

But wait!!  Stick around for my other news first!!!  If you want...no pressure :)

The other week I told you that I was contacted by the Wholly Guacamole company and they asked if I would look at their website and give them some feed back.  I did so and then they graciously offered to send me some product for review.  I was excited, yet a little nervous.  What if I got their product and I hated it and then I would have to tell them that... AAAAAAAAA!!!

Anyway... I received their samples... check it out:

Yea, that's what I said.... there is a lot of stuff.... and it all looked good!!  Where to start, where to start???

100 calorie pack - Spicy Guacamole:

Opinion:  I have to say...I'm not one to really like manufactured, store bought products like this.  When it comes to guacamole, I definitely prefer the homemade kind.  I have tried other store bought products and, well, I have not been impressed.  This... this made me stop and go... hhhmmmmmmmm... this is actually pretty good!  I will admit that I was pleasantly surprised.  Even Chris, who really is picky about his guacamole, devoured it.  I would buy this.  I would serve this.  It's gluten free, it's kosher, it's preservative free, it was fantastic!  Ok, I wouldn't choose it over homemade, but in a pinch or in a state of laziness, hell yea, I would purchase it!

Second on the list - Classic Queso Dip:

Opinion:  YUM!  It was really good... like homemade queso.  I was, once again, a bit shocked at how good it was.  What was really cool about this queso... It didn't get hard when it started to cool down.  Ok, it got a bit thicker, but it never got hard, like Velveeta does after it's been cooled down.  So that was a nice little bonus.  A blogging friend of mine said she has tried this queso and thought it was way salty, so beware.  I didn't find that at all, but I think I have a higher tolerance for salty food.

Next up - Salsa:

Opinion:  Salsa perfection. Seriously, I'm not one for really chunky salsas...this salsa had the perfect chunky factor.  The flavors were wonderful too.

100 calorie pack - Classic Guacamole:

Opinion:  Like the spicy guac, it was a pleasant surprise at how good it was.  Chris and I both agreed....best store bought product we've tried in a long time.

So all in all... the products that the Wholly Guacamole company sent me were really good.  Now, I'm one that would rather make it or have a homemade version of these products, but hey, sometimes you just can't always have it that way...and when you can't, these are great substitutes!

Check back next week when I put some of the products to use in a few fantastic recipes!

***Please note:  The opinions stated here are just that, MY opinion.  I was not reimbursed in anyway for my product review.***
