Food Review: Moosewood Pasta e Fagioli

Like Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, I'm not a "no carbs" kind of girl. I love bread, the occasional cookie, and yes — pasta. I also love quick meals that are healthy, yet tasty. When I saw this box of Pasta e Fagioli made by Moosewood, the famous vegetarian restaurant in Ithaca, NY, the photo made me place it in my cart immediately. Are you curious to know how this meal measured up? Then read more Read more

Review of Kashi Mayan Harvest Bake

You just can't go wrong with foods made by Kashi. Not only does everything they make contain whole grains and real ingredients, but they're always full of flavor too. A while back, I was thrilled when they began making frozen pizzas and entrées.

Food Review: Seeds of Change Risotto Portobello di Milano

Seeds of Change: Lasagna Calabrese

I came across some new frozen entrées made by Seeds of Change. They have some unique dishes to choose from like Hanalei Vegetarian Chicken Teriyaki and Risotto Portobello di Milano, but since I'm a sucker for veggie lasagna, I decided to give that a whirl. This one was made with eggplant and portobello mushrooms, which sounded delicious. Too bad my taste buds didn't agree. Want to see what it Read more

Amy's Kitchen: Country Cheddar Bowl

This Country Cheddar Bowl is my new favorite frozen entrée from Amy's Kitchen. It's in her line of Bowls (just like the Stuffed Pasta Shells), and this one is called Country Cheddar. I would say it is a mature version of mac and cheese. The delicious cheesy sauce envelops the spiral noodles and healthy veggies – broccoli florets, carrots, red peppers, and potatoes. For added protein pieces Read more
