Hellmann's Dijonnaise Mustard
By: | May 27, 2009
Hellmann's Dijonnaise Mustard, is mustard blended with mayonnaise - with the low calories of mustard, just 5 calories per teaspoon. I bought a squeeze bottle at the grocery store, eager to try it on my next turkey, lettuce, and tomato sandwich.
On the surface, this didn't look too much different than regular mayo; maybe it was a little less strongly mustard colored, but overall it's appearance was more in common with mustard. And to tell you the truth, it also didn't taste too different from regular mustard, either. It was a tiny bit creamier, perhaps, but I unfortunately I didn't detect much of the distinctive flavor I associate with mayo and so desperately wanted to taste in this spread as well.

Annie's Naturals Organic Honey Mustard
By: | Jan 17, 2009
I'm always looking for condiments to put a little variety in my regular sandwich rotation without adding too many calories. Annie's Honey Mustard fits the bill quite nicely. It's sweet, it's zesty ... seriously, this stuff can take a turkey sandwich on wheat to a whole new level.
Since my love-fest with Annie's mustard has begun, I've taken some creative liberties by using it in non-traditional ways and creating atypical yet delicious concoctions. I recommend putting some on a chicken breast before baking or making your own French fries with oven-baked potato wedges and using this honey mustard as an alternative dipping sauce to ketchup. What are some ways you use mustard (other than in sandwiches)?

Westbrae Natural No Salt Added Stone Ground Mustard
By: | Jan 15, 2009
Although I don't have high blood pressure, I still feel the effects of too much salt in my diet, because it tends to make me feel bloated, and I don't much like the taste of things that are overly salty anyway. I was browsing in Whole Foods not too long ago, in the condiment section, when I came upon Westbrae Natural's No Salt Added Mustard. Besides being calorie free (as is most mustard), it is virtually sodium free and all natural, with an incredibly short ingredient list consisting of just: water, grain vinegar, organic mustard seed, and spices.
I took it home not sure what to expect, as the nutrition facts are simply filled with zeroes, and sometimes, zero everything = zero flavor, right? Well, not this time. I found myself thoroughly pleased with the flavor. It is not hot (or salty), but has a definite kick of spice, and a grainy texture that I assume goes along with stone ground mustards. There is no aftertaste to speak of, which I guess is not surprising as there are no additives. It manages to do what many products are unable to do successfully: lose the salt without sacrificing its mustard identity. I am happy to report that this is well worth the price, and there will be a place in my cupboard for this new find for a long time to come. Great job, Westbrae!
