Dreamfields Linguine

Dreamfields Linguine Review


See more picture


I've been using Dreamfields pasta for about a year and a half now. It's become a kitchen staple for us. I bought it to help keep my sugar under control while still enjoying pasta dishes. My husband, a very finicky eater, didn't even notice it was high-fiber (well, until he got a bit gassy later). Tastewise, this is just as good as regular, quality pasta. (And not gritty like whole wheat ones can be.)

A very nice product, and a boon to those watching their sugar numbers. I'll add that I don't get the super-sleepiness after eating this pasta that I used to eating regular pasta (you know, that post-carb napping syndrome).

I've used the penne, the linguine, the elbow (for mac'n'cheese) and the lasagna (for veggie and regular lasagne casseroles). Great. All of them.

Thumbs up.

Great pasta - Mevans - Shoreline, WA
This has to be one of the best low carb pasta's we have tried. We can not find it in our local stores. So it is great to be able to order it on Amazon.

Fantastic Low Carb Pasta! Highly Recommended - CFH - Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA
This great tasting pasta is a diabetic's Godsend! Being a Type 2 Diabetic, I am always looking for ways to reduce my carb intake. Up till now that has meant avoiding pasta completely since a single serving of normal pasta has about 35 - 40 carbs. This has been one of the biggest impacts to my diet as we love Italian cooking. I was not sure about Dreamfields' claim to only have 5 carbs, but we gave it a try anyway.

After having a full serving, my blood sugar levels only took a modest rise, about what I would have expected from 5 carbs (plus the 15 others from the rest of the meal)!

It does cost more than regular pasta, but it is worth it to me to be able to eat pasta again.

Highly Recommended!

Great Low Carb Treat - A. Dunne -
I use Dreamfields all the time now. It is just as good as regular pasta in most dishes, but not quite as good in a cold pasta salad. Still good enough to give it 5 stars!

Dreamfields Pasta Angel Hair, 13.25 Ounce Boxes (Pack of 20)

Dreamfields Pasta Angel Hair, 13.25 Ounce Boxes (Pack of 20) Review

Great for most people that are trying to control blood glucose impact of their foods by controlling digestible carbohydrates.

This stuff tastes the same as regular pasta. Just be sure to read the label on your pasta sauce so you don't inadvertently take in a lot of sugars via the sauce, or better yet, make your own.

A few things to be aware of that I have discovered:

Don't overcook it!

Don't put cooked pasta in the sauce and heat it - that is, do NOT pour the sauce into the pasta and mix it up in the pan and heat it! Cook and drain the pasta firs according ot the directions ont he box, THEN plate the bare pasta first (possibly tossing it lightly in olive oil) and only then pour the sauce and other toppngs on and serve immediately.

Again: Don't put the sauce, meat and cheese on the pasta until you actually plate it and serve it.

I've found if you "re-cook" Dreamfields "angel hair" pasta in normal (acidic) tomato based pasta sauces that it does hit my blood sugar a lot harder than if they are put together at the last minute. Same goes for overcooking it (aside from the fact that any pasta that's overcooked turns to mush). My guess is the extra heat or acidity causes the "sequestered" carbs to break out and become available for digestion.

All in all, this stuff in incredible, and tastes no different than most other boxed pastas, and doesn't cause the blood sugar spikes and weight gain that the normal pastas do. I bought a case of it, and have some of the other types of Dreamfields as well.

  • Pack of twenty, 13.25 ounces each (total of 265 ounces)

insulin resistant diabetics beware - E. Toth - usa
This product tastes great and, I'm sure, is the great white hope for MANY Type II diabetics...just not me and probably others like me. I am quite insulin resistant and a couple of hours after my meal of Dreamfields my blood sugar was 149.......4 hours later it was 229 with NO additional food of any kind. I found out later that this is a known issue with this pasta with some insulin resistant diabetics. I feel that the Amazon page for this product should say that as should Dreamfield's website. Just thought someone should warn people. (But it tastes great)

Carbquik Baking Mix

Carbquik Baking Mix Review


See more picture


Four stars due to price only. Otherwise, it would have been an absolute pleasure to give it a full five stars.

I've made waffles, pancakes, and drop biscuits so far and I have to say this stuff is awesome. The texture is a little strange at first, comes out of package lumpy when it's dry, but mixes up fine. I also have to use MUCH more water in the recipes than is listed on the box in order to get the right consistency- maybe that is where other reviewers are having taste problems? Pancakes/waffles cooked up well, thicker than expected so make smaller drops of batter per piece and flatten with spatula as they cook if possible to ensure even heating through the middle and so as to not end up burned.

My husband and I have been on Atkins for about 6 months now. We've splurged on IHOP pancakes a few times in the last few months, and I have to say although the texture is a little different with these, add butter and syrup (even sugar free) this stuff tastes like the real thing. We can even eat them plain and they taste not too far from normal pancakes. I suggest adding more water/ half and half in the recipe (for pancakes we added 1 cup half and half, almost 1 cup water to get the consistency we like) because you'll find when you mix it up it's like the batter is a black hole for moisture. My tastes haven't changed too much and I still by far prefer "real" food, but I've found this mix is a completely different ballgame when it comes to "diabetic/diet" foods and there's not too big a difference.

Also, the fiber in this is AWESOME! It will take you a few days to notice though ;-)

Carbquik Baking Mix Feature

  • 3 lb box makes 90 biscuits, just add water!
  • 90% less carbs than Bisquick
  • 2g net carbs per biscuit

Best tasting low carb flour substitute - Charles P. Jerian - Palo Alto,CA, USA
I've tried making recipes from books that use soy and almond flour, but carbquik makes biscuits that even my son says taste like good. Nobody else ate my muffins. The price at netrition is much lower and I bought the carbquik there, I also bought cabalose flour but hasn't tried it yet.
It is supposed to be a near substitute for real flour. Biscuits claim to only have 2 carbs each, so I guess one could even eat a few on the atkins diet during its induction phase.


Taste so good and is great for my waist line... - Claudine - CA.
For my pancakes is super good, taste like regular ones, so fluffy and rich. And of course with sugar free Syrup...
