Oh So Tasty!

I have made some new discoveries in my grocery store!  Here are a few of the healthier foods that I have tried and love.  I am not dieting, so not every item I list will be low fat, no sugar, no flavor, etc.  I am making a lifestyle change and losing excess weight by exercising more and making better choices about what I eat and how much.  So, now that my disclaimer is out of the way, I can get down to business.

Have you ever tried a turkey burger?  Now usually, I just use the fresh, ground turkey patties and season them myself, but, um... they were frozen cause I had planned to cook something else for dinner.  Off to Wally World!  After picking up the usual patties, I glanced down into the frozen section as I passed by. Hmm, these burgers looked good and were already seasoned, so I grabbed them and put back the others.  Plus, they could be prepared from "Freezer to Grill", saving me another trip to the store in the future.  Works for me!

Just broil them for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, toast up a wheat bun

and you can enjoy a juicy, well seasoned burger that is only 240 calories.  It was so good!!

FYI - Be careful of pre-seasoned foods like this if you are watching your sodium intake.

 

Speaking of that wheat bun.  I usually go for white wheat bread because wheat seems a little chewy and thick to me.  Apparently, it has been the brand that I have been buying.  After reading good things about Arnold brand products, I picked up their 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Rolls (160 cal each).  Honestly, I forgot that it was a wheat bun because it tasted so good and was so soft.  It was also a good sized bun and wasn't dwarfed by my turkey burger.

We all know that you can't go to Wally World and just pick up one or two things.  I also grabbed a couple of bags of the Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps.  I tried them out for the first time a few of weeks ago and now they are a staple in my pantry for a good, filling snack.  They look like pretzels, but the dough has been flattened and baked to give the crispy texture of a chip or cracker.  I have only tried the Original flavor, but they also come in Everything, Garlic Parmesan, Sesame, Jalapeno Jack, Buffalo Wing and Chipotle Cheddar.  Eleven crisps are only 110 calories!

So, there you have it!
