A Better Italian Meal is Available



Title of Product: Whole Wheat Pasta - Rotini or Spaghetti

Description: Pasta

Why do you like it?
Whole wheat is so much better for you than regular pasta and tastes just as good. Once you put sauce on it who can tell the difference! I usually cook it and then add the Paul Newman Marinara Sauce and sprinkle the top with shredded cheese. There are other brands that sell whole grain and whole wheat pasta that taste just as good. The target brand is one of the better values Hodgson Mill is good too. It is an easy meal to prepare and good for you.

Where did you buy it? Super Target

About how much was it? Less than $2 for 13.25 oz

All American - All Natural - All Good!



Title of Product: Oscar Mayer Natural Beef Franks

Description: Hot Dogs

Why do you like it?
Who doesn't like a good hot dog? These taste great and surprisingly don't have any junk in them! No descriptors like mechanically separated meat on this label. Just beef and spices. Add a little whole grain bread with organic ketchup and you actually have a good meal. Just be sure to squeeze in a green vegetable and fruit to make it well rounded. They are a little pricey but when you are craving a grilled hot dog these will do the job.

Can Sausage Be Considered A Dessert?










Title of Product: Niman Ranch Apple Gouda Sausage

Description:
All Natural Apple Gouda Sausage

Why do you like it?
Oh my goodness these are good! Read the label and you can understand every ingredient plus they taste so good. I am a fan of sausage but the combination in flavors in these are over-the-top. It is the perfect mix of sweet and salt without junk ingredients. Sausage is still sausage so there is grease involved. Pop these babies on the grill for about 5-7 minutes and you won't be sorry. They are great with a side of some kind of starch like rice or bread and don't forget your green vegetable!

Where did you buy it? Super Target - I haven't been able to find them anywhere else.

Tienes Hambre? How about this beauty!










Title of Product: Mission Multi-grain Wraps

Description: Tortilla wrap

Why do you like it?
I am always looking for ways to insert more fiber and whole grain into my meals. These are great because the are big and not to grainy or have a lot of seeds. I don't like a lot of crunchy or bumpy stuff in my smooth food--it is a texture thing! These taste good and add more nutrition to your burrito meals.

In Honor of Paul Newman and Pasta













Title of Product: Newman's Own - Marinara

Description: Tomato Sauce

Why do you like it?
It is really simple... it tastes good and doesn't have any junk ingredients in it. There are a variety of flavors available including organics. I like the marinara variety the best because it has the right amount of smooth and chunky. I am not a big fan of really chunky sauces. Tastes great on any pasta and it is easy to prepare.

About how much was it? about $3.79

I am a Pizza Addict!


















Title of Product: Amy's Pizza

Description: Margherita Pizza

Why do you like it?
I have had Amy's other pizzas and liked them a lot. They are a little more expensive than a regular frozen pizza but of course they are made with organic ingredients. This is my favorite kind. The sauce is tasty and it has chunks of real mozzarella cheese. The crust is made with wheat flour and it is about 12 inches in diameter. The crust is thicker and bread-ier than other organic pizzas that seem like flat bread. I usually can eat all but 1 or 2 pieces in one setting. So much for the calories but it sure is good.
