Food Review: Guiltless Gourmet Baked Unsalted Tortilla Chips


I don't think I've ever talked about these chips before (I really don't remember) but they're great! They are baked, unsalted tortilla chips! And I believe they are less than $3 a bag so price-wise they are great as well.
These chips taste like corn chips. Duh. I mean, you don't feel greasy, or get crap-tons of salt. After all, the real star of the show is what you're eating the chips with! (SALSA) They are all natural and are also made with organic corn.
A 1 oz serving is about 18 chips and has 120 calories and 2g of fat. Not bad in my opinion. 18 chips is more than you think it is. Although, if you're mindlessly eating from the bag, it's also not as much as it sounds. :P
These chips are the new fave for me and Fiance when we're eating salsa.

Food Review: Rachel's Cucumber Dill Cottage Cheese

This morning I had Rachel's Cucumber Dill Cottage Cheese. Earlier, I had the Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto and it was SO GOOD.

I had high expectations for this flavor, since the other was so nom-a-licious.

I was a little disappointed. This flavor (to me) just is not as good as the sun-dried tomato. It was good, but something was a little off. I couldn't tell what. Too much dill? Vinegar? I'm not sure. In the end, I had to make myself finish it. Apparently there are many more flavors, but I only saw these two at my grocery store.

I probably won't buy them too often, as they are $1.75 each. But for an occasional snack, they are quite good.

Food Review: Rachel's Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Cottage Cheese




Ok so the picture is a little small. I saw this at our semi-health food store and I immediately had to have it. I love cottage cheese. I usually eat mine with pepper but I have never seen flavored cottage cheese before! Sun-dried tomato pesto?! Needless to say, I ate it as soon as I got home and had an orgasmic food experience. It was so effin delicious. I really don't know how else to say it was nummy. Nom-tastic. The flavor part is on the bottom and you have to stir it up. YUM.
This is a great way to liven up your cottage cheese. Although, it was a little pricey at $1.75.


I also bought another flavor, cucumber dill, to try later. maybe tomorrow.

Food Review: Voskos Greek Yogurt (Fig)


Today, I tried Voskos greek yogurt, exotic fig flavor. I had wanted to try greek yogurt, since I had heard it was thicker than your traditional Yoplait/Dannon variety. And I saw "fig" flavor and though, "Why not? Let's be crazy." Upon my first bite (which was mere minutes ago) I thought two things simultaneously:
"I like this thickness."
"I do not like this sour aftertaste."
Overall, I do not think I'll be buying this again. I took two bites and threw it away. I just don't like that odd (to me) sour flavor. Now, those of you that enjoy your yogurt more tart/sour, will probably enjoy this brand.
So I'm left eating dry granola. Oh well. There's always cheese.... ;)

Food Review: Tofurky Kielbasa






Today the fiance and I tried out Tofurky Kielbasa. We had taken a run to the semi-health food store over the weekend and decided to try things out, like Soy Yogurt. Fiance had claimed before that he had eaten tofu dogs and proclaimed them tasty. Which is amazing, since he LOVES meat. Instead of tofu dogs, we decided to try this kielbasa. I cooked them on our little grill (like a George Foreman, but not as pricy). We put it on a bun (whole wheat) and served it up with sweet potato fries. I have to say, it was quite tasty. The texture is obviously not like meat. But the flavoring is pretty good and come on, it's supposed to be like a hot-dog. And who the eff knows what's in a hot dog.
All in all, I call this a dinner win.

Food Review: Soy Yogurt



The other day my fiance and I went to a semi-health food store to look around and see what they have to offer. I spoke earlier about making my own trail mix and granola and we bought all of our ingredients at this store in bulk containers (mostly fruits/nuts/seeds). Well, we also decided to try new yogurts. We each got a Soy yogurt. He got blueberry, I got black cherry. Yesterday he told me his was "disgusting" and "sour-tasting." I opened mine with trepidation today. I was suprised. Mine tasted sweet. It was not disgusting. In fact, it was quite palatable. You could taste that it wasn't "normal" (ie was made from soy) but it was a unique flavor that wasn't bad. I enjoyed my yogurt and happily ate it with the granola we made. The yogurt was not fat free (@ 2 grams) and had around 150 calories. So it's pretty comporable to other yogurts.

Not pictured was another brand I tried called Brown Cow. I tried the Boysenberry and found it to be quite delicious.

I'll keep you posted as I try more things.
