Tested and Loved...

I read a bunch of product reviews on sites like Hungry Girl, the WW Message Boards, and in the WW Magazine. But I always wish I had a friend's perspective on some of the products before I spent my money. So I gave in and just tried them for myself. I'll post from time to time the products I have tested and love or hate. Here are some of the latest -

~ Fiber Gourmet Mac & Cheese - so I heard about this thru HG and was skeptical. You have to order it online and you have to buy it in bulk (the smallest pack is 6 boxes). I love Mac and Cheese. Love it. And I can't be on a diet that doesn't include it . These are a good stand in. A little less cheesy then Kraft's blue box but still not bad for diet food and you get a major dose of fiber. My mom and husband even eat the stuff, not their favorite but they eat it. It's 3 Points® per serving.

~ Yoplait Smoothie Mix - Mixed Berry - I happened across these in the freezer section of Costco. Each bag of mix has frozen yogurt bites & frozen strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Stick it in the blender with milk or oj and you have a yummy breakfast. The package also recommends trying it with Soymilk and flaxseed oil - I haven't got that adventerous yet.

~ Morningstar Veggie Corn Dogs - This was the suggestion of my sister who is a professional chef. She claimed they tasted just like real corn dogs. She likes to eat weird stuff though so I wasn't sure. But I gave them a try and she was right! They are just like the real thing!! I also like the mini corn dogs. Look in the vegetarian freezer section.

~ Kettle Brand Baked Chips - Lightly Salted & Honey BBQ - delicious! Enough said!

~ Shadybrook Farm Italian Style Turkey Meatballs - put some jarred marinara in a pan, add the already cooked meatballs - simmer for 15 minutes add LF Mozzarella and put on a bun for a nutritious, delicious Meatball Sub.

  1. Hi there! Found you via the WW Board and hope you don't mind that I am following along. Seeing others progress really motivates me.

    I have been so curious about the veggie corn dogs. I have been tempted to buy them but then reconsidered thinking how good can a veggie hot dog be but now they are going on my shopping list for next week. I will feel better about serving them to my family. I don't think that I am going to tell my husband they are veggie until after because I can already see the fit he will throw.
