סוכרזית סטייוויה Sucrazit, one of Israel’s leading sugar substitute companies, have finally gotten on board and came out with a Stievia based sweetener in packets. For years now I have been looking for a convenient stevia based sweetener here in Israel. I was able to find dried stevia leaves or a liquid alcohol based one but those did not suit my needs. I ended up buying stevia packets from

Happy Spring Everyone! שטראוס גלידה מיני לייט אגוזים I thought today, being the first day of spring, would make today the perfect day to tell you about another ice cream I tasted recently. It’s one of Strauss low calorie ice cream pops that I have never tried before. I am not 100% sure if it’s a new flavor or not. It doesn’t say new on the box and I didn’t read a press release about it (

I have three products that I wanted to tell you about but for one reason or another I don’t have that much to write about each of them. I thought I'd just give you a short Bottom Line on each one, in case you saw them in the store and wondered if you should try them. The three products are: Osem’s Hazelnut Lachmit Crackers, Tnuva’s Low Lactose 5% Soft White Cheese & Beit Hashita’s Green Pitted

בן עמי סופגניה אפויה The head Chef at Ben Ami made a conscious decision this year to try and put a "healthier" spin on the traditional Chanukah products; Sufganiyot and Levivot. I know he isn’t the first to try such an idea but I was still curious to see what he came up with here are my thoughts.  When it came to the sufganiyot he didn’t want to take part in the "can I come up with the

When I saw Ne'eman's ad for this Chanukah's line of sufganiyot some of the different flavors seemed interesting to me. Ne'eman has come a long way from their humble beginnings, back in 1944 when the founder and grandfather Rabbi Baruch Ne'eman peddled his baked goods through the streets of Jerusalem's Bucharim neighborhood in a baby carriage and sold pastries, including sufganiyot, to the locals

I've noticed that for some reason Israeli companies don’t really like to make mixed packs of their product. Maybe it's because they make more money  from us buying each flavor on its own?  I don't know.

At the beginning of November I was a little taken aback and slightly sad to see Chanukah doughnuts/Sufganiot were already being sold at local supermarkets. It just felt too soon. I wish stores etc. would let us live in the present for a moment and not rush the next holiday or "time of year" on us. It felt like the moment Sukkot was over they had to kind of push Chanukah on us, even though in

By the time I made Alyiah they were gone from the store shelves and I never heard about them until I read all the requests on the My Strauss Website I told

It was not either Holiday related, on my end. There were plenty of days between the Holidays that I could have and would have posted a review.

צ'ורוס דגני בוקר של פוסט Because of the price of most imported cereals, I hesitated buying this new Post cereal that I found on the store shelf called Mini Cinnamon Churros. When I saw it "on sale" for 17.00 NIS instead of about 24.00 NIS I decided to give it a try.

Lindt's latest addition to our candy aisle is called Double Milk Chocolate Bar. לינדט דאבל מילק שוקולד Although this new chocolate is a bar and not a Lindt Bon-Bon I thought it would still be an appropriate post for Tu B'Av (Hebrew: ט"ו באב, the fifteenth of the month Av). Even though there are many spiritual and historic meanings behind Tu B'Av, here in modern-day Israel, Tu B'Av is mostly
