    Hi, I just thought that, between each others, we can recommanded to buy or not certains products. This may help for those of us who wants to try new things or for those who are not so good with cooking or all of it like me!

    I will started:

    I made for Easter diner Tenderloin Pork marinaded in PC mable syrup and bacon marinade (bought at 50% with pink sticker). It was sweet but not too sweet since the bacon was a nice balance to the maple syrup. I bought my tenderloin 2 weeks ago went it was in sale at Super C, put it in a rubbermade container with the marinade and frozen it. I unfroze it in my fridge for 36 hours. Today, I put it in an pyrex container and cook it for 1 hour at 350°F and serve it with mashed potatoes and grill zucchini. It was so good!

    I recommanded! And will give a 8/10 for this products.

    For those that have toddlers and need a really quick lunch idea: I keep fondu meat (those finely sliced chicken, pork or beef) in the fridge. I saute them really quick in the pan with some mushrooms and veggies and we have a nutritious lunch in less than 5 minutes.

    Tetley "Dream" chamomile lemon tea: DON'T RECOMMEND
    I thought it was so nasty I wrote to the company. (They gave me an FPC!)
    Seriously, it tasted like dishsoap. Sweet, toxic dishsoap.
    They told me the licorice root might account for the artificial sweetness I complained about. And I can only guess that it's the fake lemon that made it taste like some bad chemicals.

    I don't like tetley at all... for me this brand didn't taste real flavor everytime I try it. So no more for me!

    I made my own ginger tea today for the first time. Cut up some ginger root boil for 15 minutes and voila. Really nice flavor.

    My DH is going vegetarian so I am looking for new ways to bring more flavor into my food. Was horrified to see how much sugar there was in the Aylmers accents(which i use when i run ot of my own) . I think I will be making lots more tomatoes next fall. lol

    For those who don't like strong smelling soap..Nivea handsoap! It smell so strong that I had to rewash my hands twice with another soap! Smell like some cheap flowerish perfume! (Gave it to MIL ...she likes all flowerish smell...even the super smelly one...yark!)

    I'm not sure if I should post this here or not...just wondering if anyone has purchased the NoNo hair removal system. And is it worth the money?

    I think I saw a review of this in the product review forum, and I think this was reviewed by "The Shopping Bags" on the OWN network....they did not think it worth the money.
