Sahale Snacks

I found these snacks at a Co-op when I was visiting family out of town. I got a few flavors (almond ones), but this one is my favorite. They are a bit pricey ($3-$4 per bag), but I plan to always have a few on hand for when I'm in a pinch. Maybe some day I'll attempt to make my own version, too.

Cowboy Chili

Just add water, a can of tomatoes, and some optional ground beef or turkey and you have a tasty meal that will feed 3-4 people or give one person leftovers. I'm usually not a fan of chili with cinnamon or chocolate, but this is subtle enough that it adds something interesting.

In-depth Corn-free Research

A family member showed me this blog when they were searching for what they could buy me for an Easter treat. Seems to be pretty thorough research. Here's a link to one of their lists: http://corn-freefoods.blogspot.com/2013/02/corn-free-foods-products-list-feb-2013.html

Soyummi Puddings

I am a huge fan of pudding: tapioca pudding, rice pudding, chocolate pudding, bread pudding...you name it. Since eliminating dairy, pudding has been conspicuously absent. I saw these gems and the local store and snatched them up. They are surprisingly realistic in texture, but the flavor is undeniably lemon-y. So, they are worth it when you're craving pudding and they come in easy to-go containers, but don't be expecting your normal tapioca or rice pudding flavor.

KinniKritters

These animal crackers are fantastic and are completely "legal"! I've shared some with co-workers and they like them better than regular animal crackers! I keep a box in my work bag at all times and I eat them when people bring illegal tempting snacks.

Road's End Organics Mac & Cheese

Mac and cheese has always been a huge comfort food for me. I've got a lot of stress in my life (hence the lack of posts recently) so I bought this and made it for lunch today. First of all, you must pay attention that it says "alfredo style", so really it's alfredo not mac and cheese. I followed the directions exactly, using coconut milk as my milk-substitute. The noodles turned out hard and the sauce was abrasive and gritty. I will not be repeating this one. 

Lipton Mandarin Orange Green Tea

Since most drinks are off limits, I've been drinking a lot of tea recently. I never would have guessed that you have to watch out for corn in tea :(
