Nonni's: THINaddictives

Pistachio Almond Thins

The picture on the front of this package got my taste buds excited. I love pistachios and I love almonds and the thought of both together in what looks like a thin biscotti was exciting. The taste? Not so much. The cookie itself wasn't that crisp and the flavor of almond and pistachio was barely noticeable. One individual package, of which there are 6 in the box, contains 2 pieces, is 100 calories, 5 grams of sugars and 4 grams of protein. Not so addictive.

Healthy Choice: Baked Entrees

Four Cheese Ziti Marinara

This product is a HIT!

I first tasted this Four Ziti Marinara when it was taken out of a microwave on a TV set. I was pleasantly surprised at just how great the flavor and the texture of the pasta were. Baked with mozzarella, parmesan, Romano and asiago cheeses, you'll find it hard to believe that this dish is only 310 calories and was cooked in a microwave. The tomato sauce is made from tomato paste, tomatoes, and tomato juice, with a touch of California Chardonnay. Made with only real cheeses, this is guaranteed to satisfy.

Ruby Jewel Treats: Ruby Jewel Treats

Cinnamon Chocolate w/Espresso ice cream sandwich

This product is a HIT!

I love what it says on the package 'Best if eaten by: you - today', and that's not about the freshness of the product but it's about your enjoyment. This is flat out one of the best ice cream treats I've ever had. The soft cinnamon chocolate chip cookie with espresso ice cream is made from milk and cream without growth hormones, with real ingredients and real flavors. Hand made in Portland, OR, this is definitely going to be on my dessert short list. One of these is 420 calories and 18 grams of fat with 34 grams of sugars, so my reccomendation is to cut it into 4 pieces and find 3 friends, or maybe just 2?

Columbus Foods: Farm to Fork Naturals

Uncured Genoa Salame

This product is a HIT!

In any other part of the world, except in the U.S., salame is thought of as a specialty. Too often the salamis sold in our supermarket delis are full of preservatives, additives, sodium, by products and fillers. One slice of this Genoa salame will spoil you forever. A wonderful pork recipe with a little bit of salt, sugar, wine and spices makes this a perfect hors d'oevres, side dish or snack. A perfect texture, not too dry, and not with an overwhelming garlic flavor, the humanely raised pork is produced on sustainable farms without any antibiotics.

Pete & Gerry’s : Heirlom Eggs

Ameraucana Blue, Marans Brown

This product is a HIT!

You might argue whether these eggs are blue or green, but you can't argue about the fact that these Ameraucana heirloom hens lay these pastel colored eggs naturally - these are NOT colored. The hens are fed whole grains and marigold and alfalfa grasses, which not only adds this beautiful color, but also makes for a most flavorful and in my opinion, fresh tasting egg. I tried it simply scrambled and one bite made me a convert.
