I always keep a few in my freezer just in case I don't have time to make lunch. While the <a href="http://www.fitsugar.com/747294" >Country Cheddar Bowl</a> is my favorite, I also like the <a href="http://www.fitsugar.com/407215" >Stuffed Pasta Shells</a>. While perusing the frozen aisle at the grocery store, I noticed a new bowl and had to give it a try. </p> <p><span class="inline left"></span></p> <p>To find out what I thought of this <a href="http://www.amyskitchen.com/products/category_view.php?prod_category=12" target="_blank">Brown Rice, Black-Eyed Peas &amp; Veggies Bowl</a> then read more.</p> <p><span class="inline left"></span></p> <p><center></p> <table id="space"> <tr> <td width=375px> <p>I'm quite a fan of this new bowl. Even though it doesn't look very appetizing, it tasted delicious - herby and savory, like it was homemade. It had lots of veggies, mostly mushrooms and they had great consistency; not mushy at all. The black-eyed peas and brown rice made this bowl hearty and filling for only having 290 calories. The sauce was smooth and flavorful with a hint of ginger and cilantro. The wheat-free tamari gave it a delicious salty flavor, with only 580 mg per serving. This meal is also dairy and gluten free, so if you have food sensitivities, this is a tasty option. If you're a fan of bean and veggie dishes, I'd give this a try. </td> <td> <td valign=top style="padding-left:20px;"> <table style="float:right;" border=1 id="space"> <tr bgcolor=#99CC66> <td>Serving Size</td> <td>1 bowl</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor=> <td>Calories</td> <td>290</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Total Fat</td> <td>11 g</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor> <td>Saturated Fat</td> <td>1.5 g</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cholesterol</td> <td>0 mg</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor> <td>Sodium</td> <td>580 mg</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Carbs</td> <td>38 g</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor> <td>Fiber</td> <td>8 g</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Sugar</td> <td>5 g</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor> <td>Protein</td> <td>11 g</td> </tr> </table> <p></center></td> </tr> </table> <p></center></p> http://www.fitsugar.com/2496653#comment Food Amy's Kitchen Food Review Brown Rice Black-Eyed Peas & Veggies Bowl Mon, 01 Dec 2008 09:00:00 -0800 FitSugar http://www.fitsugar.com/2496653 Amy's Kitchen: Bowl Breakdown http://www.fitsugar.com/2539997 <a href="http://www.fitsugar.com/2539997"><img width=160 height=42 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl2/1/12981/21_2009/3da00a237f0b1fa6_amy_s-kitchen-bowls.large.jpg'></div></a><p>Who doesn't need a quick meal every once in a while?

Many of them are vegan or lactose free, some are gluten free or soy free, and some are light in sodium.
