Curry chicken tenders from Trader Joe?s
2008-02-24 04:16:00 Recently, Trader Joe ’s added another kind of chicken to their fresh meat selection - this time marinated in curry. We have enjoyed these curry chicken tenders twice now - they come out moist and full of flavor. We’ve eaten them with whole wheat cous cous (threw in some raisins), and simply with some vegetables.

Peanut butter cream cheese pie - super-low fat, and freakin? delicious
2008-02-24 04:11:00 This is an adaptation of a recipe from the fine folks at Bell Plantation, who sell the always great powdered peanut butter. I changed the amounts quite a bit, so it tastes completely different - but what goes in is the same. I also had to try it twice to get the preparation right (there ...

2008-02-24 03:56:00 My favorite, ever, are these granola bites from the folks at Nature Valley. I put them on my cereal on a daily basis, and they’re fabulous.

Garlic ginger marinade from Primo Gourmet
2008-02-24 03:48:00 We first tried this sauce after finding it at the Burlingame street fair (or something - those things with all the tables of art and stuff). We used it as a dipping sauce for Trader Joe Lemongrass Chicken Stix, Chicken Egg Rolls, and fresh vegetables. It is fabulous for that purpose - slightly spicy, a ...

Trader Joe?s Greek Style Nonfat Yogurt? in honey, blueberry, or pomegranate
2007-11-27 03:19:00 I just found the best flavored non-fat, fat-free yogurt EVER (edging out Brown Cow’s fat free Vanilla for top place in me books). It’s at Trader Joe’s, and it’s greek style. It’s like their 0% Face yogurt (plain fat free greek style), but flavored. It’s thick and simply amazing - you have to try it. ... More About: Pomegranate , Greek , Style , Honey , Yogurt
Spotted: Nature Valley 100 Calorie Granola Bites at Target!!!!!
2007-11-05 04:38:00 One of my favorite foods - in the world - are Nature Valley Granola Bite s on top of my cereal. For serious. I am addicted and have a pack a day on my cereal (typically a small bit of oat bran, a small bit of grape nuts, some berries, and these granola bites. ). My review ... More About: Target , Calorie
Brown Cow brand non-fat yogurt - specifically, vanilla
2007-10-08 23:48:00 A few weeks ago at the Burlingame street fair I was enlightened to the best darn yogurt I’ve ever tasted - vanilla non-fat yogurt from Brown Cow. It’s different in that it has the most amazing texture of a non-fat yogurt — it’s stringy it’s so creamy. Simply amazing texture. Plus, it has enough flavor ...

Dr. Praeger?s Sweet Potato Pancakes
2007-09-08 05:28:00 We found these really delicious sweet potato pancakes (more like a patty) in the frozen section of Rainbow Grocery (Folsom St, San Francisco). And they are absolutely fabulous, especially with a bit of fat-free sour cream on the side. A tip - cook them for a bit longer than the instructions until they’re slightly browned ...

Promise Activ Supershots
2007-08-25 18:09:00 I’ve never been a fan of the “watery” yogurt - the kind that comes in drink form. I’ve always been a fan of the thick yogurts that are… not runny. However, I decided to give these Promise SuperShots a try when I saw them arrive at Safeway - we use the Promise fat-free spread ...
Mac and ChReese - Vegan low fat mac and cheese!
2007-08-14 02:00:00 So I’ve always loved me some Kraft Mac and Cheese . But after going on a low-fat diet, it was off limits. So recently I found this Mac & Chreese stuff (Road’s End Organics) - vegan mac and “cheese” - at Rainbow Grocery (1745 Folsom St, San Francisco). And this stuff is really tasty, and low fat. ...

2007-08-14 01:47:00 These little granola bites were first introduced to me in the Natur e Valley cereals, which are readily available just about anywhere (Safeway, Target, you name it). I always loved the granola pieces the most, and was absolutely excstaic to find them in 100 calorie packs. This means that I can enjoy them in pretty much ... More About: Club , Calorie
Al Fez spices (stir fry paste)
2007-07-27 23:20:00 We found these Al Fez spices and cous-cous mixes at Cost Plus and tried a few varieties. Their seasonings are generally low sodium and very low fat. A couple misses (such as their tabloue, which was disgusting), but a big hit was found with the lemon tagine stir-fry paste. You mix the stuff in with ... More About: Spices , Paste
Powdered peanut butter from Bell Plantation.
2007-07-13 02:44:00 I love you, powdered peanut butter. FINALLY a peanut butter I can eat that tastes like real peanut butter. One of the few food items I missed horribly after going on a low-fat diet and only allowing fats from olive oil and fish was peanut butter. Even if I tried to limit myself, I’m sure ...

Desert Pepper Trading Company salsa?s
2007-06-30 03:42:00 Desert Pepper makes the best salsa’s, and luckily they’re also pretty easy to find. The best flavor, I think, is the Corn Black Bean flavor - it’s not very spicy, but still really delicious. It’s great on some Light Tostitos (you know, the ones with the fake fat…). Peach Mango is also quite good, and ... More About: Company , Trading , Salsa , Desert
Halvah bars
2007-06-27 00:11:00 Camel Halvah Bars (Noble Foods). These amazing bars are not the lowest in fat, but at least they have healthy fats (and are very filling - watch the serving size tho), no additives, and barely any sugar in ‘em. And they (when fresh) taste out of this world. Halvah bars are made mostly out of sesame ... More About: Online store , Whole Foods
Back to Nature: Bakery Squares
2007-06-25 23:42:00 Back to Natur e ’s Baker y Squares are like little tiny breakfast bars, but very delicious. Surprisingly, these things almost have a “home baked” taste, unlike most of the things you find in the grocery store. They’re available in a couple flavors, both pretty healthy in the fat dept - banana walnut and cinnamon rasin are the ... More About: Back
welcome to what I eat?
2007-06-18 19:54:00 I hope to use this blog for a couple of things. Just over a year ago, I changed my ways by exercising more and improving my diet. We went through all our cupboards, got rid of the junk, and started reading food labels before purchasing anything. I went on the hunt for new recipes and ... More About: General |
