I never really had risotto until this year. It was always one of those things I saw on TV or in magazines, but was too lazy to cook it myself. Then, I tasted it made it from scratch one day and fell in love! This stuff is GOOD! So, I went to Trader Joe’s the other day and saw this […]
Arico Cassava Chips Ginger on Fire
Source I wasn’t sure what to expect of these chips. I saw the words “on Fire” which sounded like they’d be spicy, and “Ginger”, so I thought there would be a rather pungent, distinct flavor. According to the bag, these were “Gluten Free”, “Dairy Free” and had “Twice the Fiber of Leading Brand Potato Chips”. Hmm… they sounded good! I […]
Cosi Fire-Roasted Veggie Sandwich
My first RESTAURANT review! I don’t eat out much, but when I do, I want something that’s not only tasty, but healthy too! Yesterday I went to Cosi for dinner, and ordered a Fire-Roasted Veggie Sandwich on whole grain bread and had it warmed up as well. There was the option of chips or carrots on the side, and I […]
Arctic Zero Maple Vanilla
What is Arctic Zero? According to the container, “Arctic Zero is an all natural, smooth and creamy ice cream replacement”. The entire pint has “16 grams of whey protein, 8 grams of fiber” and is also “gluten free”. One serving, 1/2 cup, is 37 calories and 4 grams of protein. Wait….WHAT?! Yep, that’s what the label says! The entire pint […]
Crofter’s Superfruit and Concord Grape Spread
Jelly, jams, marmalades- I like ’em all. On toast or an english muffin is the way I usually eat them, but something about the sweet and fruity flavor that makes them delicious. Enter Crofter’s spreads in Superfruit and Concord Grape that I got the other day at Whole Foods using a free coupon I recieved. Each one is organic, and […]
Manna Organics Millet Rice Manna Bread
I’ve tried some Manna Bread in the past from Manna Organics, like the Cinnamon Date and Carrot Raisin varieties , and I think they are quite unlike any bread I have ever eaten. On the package, it says it is “Free from Added Sweeteners, Salt, Yeast or Oil”. So, I took this loaf out of the freezer and let it […]
Amy’s Kitchen Veggie Steak & Gravy Whole Meal
I know when I bought this meal I had a friend turn up her nose when she heard the words “veggie steak”, but please don’t let it dissuade you from trying this meal out! I thought it was actually incredibly delicious 🙂 First I cooked the meal, 4 1/2 minutes on HIGH and then 2 minutes on 50% power. I […]
Kashi Golden Goodness cereal
Ahh, I LOVE new products. Whenever I see them, I become an instant impulse buyer and put them in my shopping cart. This box of cereal certainly was no exception. When I opened the box, I was a little surprised. It looks like mostly tiny flakes, with a few pieces of oats thrown in. Granola or oat clusters happen to […]
Nancy’s Cultured Lowfat Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese- I’ll admit I used to turn up my nose at the stuff when I was little. Slowly, yet surely, I broke down the wall and began to enjoy it- especially with fruit or jellies mixed in. Insert Nancy’s Cultured Lowfat Cottage Cheese- a bit different than any cottage cheese I’ve seen before. It has cultures in it, such […]
