Winter and oatmeal go hand in hand. Better Oats owned by MOM Brands came on the market in 2010 with a product line of 23 flavors of instant oatmeal, a food category that has been dominated by Quaker for years. Each flavor of Better Oats instant oatmeal comes packaged with 5-single serve pouches. A clever and useful packaging twist allows the product pouch to be used as a measuring cup to make the oatmeal.

Package instructions suggest that the oatmeal be prepared with either water or milk. If you use fat free milk, the product is richer and offer 300 additional milligrams of calcium, one-third of the daily adult recommendation. The Better Oats brand continues to grow by introducing new flavors. We recently tried 4 flavors. … Read More

Stonefire was a new company for us and the flatbreads they made were excellent. Traditional naan is a flatbread baked in small amounts in a searing hot, clay, tandoor oven. Within seconds the dough cooks and bubbles and the naan is done. To duplicate this process on a commercial level and obtain the true smoky taste of naan requires a great deal of ingenuity. The Stonefire brand headed by the Ajmera family has succeeded in producing an excellent, authentic tandoor baked naan. … Read More
