Grandma Ferdon's

Can anyone give a thought about Grandma Ferdon's products? Has anyone tried the beef pasties or the veggie one? Also any comments on any of their foods good or bad... I want to order but wanted some input first.

thanks

I have tried lots of stuff from Grandma Ferdon's. I love love love the steak pasties, but I'm not so keen on the veggie ones (I really don't care for broccoli, and the whole thing tasted like broccoli).

I LOVE the cinnamon rolls, the donut holes are good and I like the egg bread as well. I've also tried the chocolate cookies, which were good, and the brownies which I didn't care for as much. The apple crisp is quite good also. The pizza is pretty good, but it's really expensive. Her pastas are decent as well.

I did not like the tomato and mushroom soups however. I got the gravy once and I REALLY didn't like it. It was downright gross. The lasagna wasn't very good either, really mushy. The burritos were so-so, they pretty much just tasted like hamburger and they were tiny.

Oh, and the homemade mustard is REALLY good! (If you're a mustard fan)

I stopped at Grandma Ferdon's while on vacation this past summer. I did not buy any of her premade items, as all her stuff has dairy in it. Or most of it does anyway.

However, I did buy her buttermilk bread mix (I used my lactose free milk with a little bit of vinegar in it to sour it) and several other mixes - pancake, waffle, a coating mix and a bisquit mix. I was very pleased with the bread mix, there is no raising time and it baked up really nice, and one mix makes two loaves of bread. I made sandwiches, toast, french toast with this bread. It is one of the better ones that I have found. And it mixes up very easy by hand or mixer. I think there is bread machine directions to, but I am not sure.
