love. without the handles......

Can you beat the heading..???? love. without the handles!!!! I was shopping at Wegmans the other day and spotted POP chips. What does POP chip mean... Healthier, delicious, all-natural. they are all that and a bag of chips. How do they do it? Well, first, let's talk about how they don't do it. They don't ever fry our chips. That just puts a lot of stuff in there that we could all do without. They never bake their chips either. That just takes a lot of flavor out, which, as snackers, we simply can't do without.

The Magic of Popping
They start with wholesome potatoes, add a little heat and pressure, along with a little snack magic. And pop! It's a chip.

No fake flavors, colors, no preservatives no wiping your greasy hands on your jeans anymore.

With so many flavors and can't go wrong: original, BBQ, salt-n-pepper, sour cream and onion, cheddar, salt & vinegar and Parmesan & garlic.

I loved them!!! I tried the salt-n-pepper they are GREAT!!

Morning Shinging Star or Morning Blah

I know I know this is my 2nd try of a wanna-be.........

Well, I don't know if what I think of the Morning Star breakfast sausage patty. I had it this morning with an hard boiled egg and a piece of cherry bread. My first bite was great not good but I continued to eat it and it wasn't horrible but I think it was a texture thing. I'm thinking if it was a breakfast sandwich and disguise the texture.

Not sure if it's a star but it's not blah.

Soy me the chicken

Chik'n is the perfect way to add a little awesome to your dinner. Seasoned breading makes them crispy and delicious. Inside, they're tender and juicy. And because this chik'n is made with soy, you get a low fat source of protein.

My review is I will be eating them over and over. They taste just like a chicken patty!! I loved it. I made a sandwich with Arnold sandwich thins. Perfect lunch.

Boca has several items in the soy line: burgers, burger crumbles, veggie patty, breakfast and entrees. What should I try next...........

I am starting to love trying new things!!!!!

I think I am going to make some adjustment. I don't know if I would like the pita for the crust. I am going to do some research on whole wheat crust.
I plan on making this for Friday night I will keep you posted on how it turns out. I will also try to post some pics!!

I made this pizza Saturday night. I made some changes. I made one big pizza and used homemade crust. I only had 2 small pieces and they were GREAT! It was a nice change from a tomato based pizza. Next time I think I will put some pineapple on it!!!

MARCH- week 1

I stated in a previous post that I want to dedicate every month to a topic. March is my first official month that I have dedicate and it is going to be healthy habit month.

Healthy habits means to me making good choices to help maintain a healthy life style. Everyone knows that when you eat good food you feeling good. When you exercise you feel good not only physically but mentally.

In the last several months several things have changed for me...it has opened my eyes that I need to live everyday to make me happy! I love being in charge of my life and this is one more thing that I know I can achieve!!!

In the coming weeks I will try my best to find new healthy good tasting recipes. I am going to try some Hungry girl recipes and try adjusting current recipes that I use everyday.

I will keep you posted on the upcoming recipes!!!

***I am NOT a health expert in ANY means***but over the years I have learned some tricks/habits that have helped me. like everyone I just need helpful reminders****
