Healthy Choice Baked Entrees Review

katyshops — Thu, 10 Oct 2013 11:32:14 +0000

Remember last week when I said that I was going to get creative with my lunch? I have been having such a great time trying out all kinds of new things to pack in my lunch. One of my favorites have been the Healthy Choice Baked Entrees.

I love them for lots of reasons, but mostly because they are crazy delicious and come in so many great recipes! My all time favorite is the Chicken Enchilada Bake. This dish is a full-flavored chicken enchilada over cilantro rice and topped with corn, black beans and a queso sauce. When you peel the film off the top after cooking it the smell of cilantro just hits you in the face! It’s so fragrant and fresh. No way does it taste like a freezer meal to me.

You can really tell that Healthy Choice Baked Entrees combine wholesome, quality ingredients to each of their dishes. This results in fresh, baked-from-the-oven taste straight from the microwave.

There 10 great recipes to choose from. My goal is to try them all! My second favorite is the Italian Sausage Pasta Bake. It combines fresh made whole grain rotini pasta paired with juicy Italian sausage, tossed in a rich garlic marinara with bubbling mozzarella cheese. It is awesome! I swear I want to lick the bowl after finishing it (and maybe I did…). This doesn’t feel at all like you are eating healthy. It’s so rich and satisfying. If this is what eating healthy tastes like, I’m hooked!

I have really enjoyed trying to spice up my brown bag lunch for the last few weeks. I have learned that not only is it a treat to pack a Healthy Choice meal, it’s also very good for me. I don’t have to worry about counting calories or protein. They have done all of the work for me.

My Top 5 Fall Faves (and a great deal on Tom’s)

katyshops — Wed, 09 Oct 2013 16:32:04 +0000

I LOVE Fall! I really do…the cool mornings, the bright sunny afternoons and the beautiful colors. It puts me in the best mood. Here are my top 5 Fall Faves:

Anything that smells like pumpkin! Right now I’m burning the Glad Pumpkin Spice Wax Melts in my burner. They totally smell like Fall.
Fleece lined shoes. I ordered these fleece lined Tom’s and have been wearing them like slippers around the house. They are so warm and cozy. Right now you can get $20 off your Tom’s order & free shipping! Just click here to get the deal.
Keurig Apple Cider. This tastes like Fall/Winter in a mug. I love it and will drink it until February!
My Smart Candles. I just reset all of the timers on my battery operated candles to accommodate the shorter days. I like the cozy feeling of my candles coming on as the sun sets for the day.
Orange. I am just in love with orange this season. I love it with Navy and have been wearing it like crazy. It’s a great Fall color.

I {heart} sweaters

katyshops — Wed, 02 Oct 2013 15:55:48 +0000

I love sweaters…and sweater weather is just around the corner! I also love sweaters that you don’t necessarily wear. I have awesome sweater throw pillows that I put on my couch in the Winter. I came across this sweater lampshade and instantly fell in love! It’s on sale right now at The Land of Nod for $50. OH MY GOSH!

Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers

katyshops — Thu, 26 Sep 2013 19:39:18 +0000

I have been working a lot lately. Usually I take a typical brown bag lunch to work…a sandwich, some chips…you know, the usual. I really wanted to mix it up a little bit and take something that I would actually enjoy eating. I had the opportunity to try the Cafe Steamers line by Healthy Choice and it certainly was more exciting than my boring lunch that I usually bring. If you would like to try it out for yourself, click here to get a great coupon.

The hardest part was trying to pick which Cafe Steamer to buy. They have so many great choices! I decided on the Asian Inspired Kung Pao Chicken and the Grilled Chicken Pesto with vegetables. They were both awesome! At first I thought it would be annoying to have to cook something in the microwave at work, but it couldn’t have been easier. You just take it out of the box and stick it in the microwave for around 4 minutes. No film to peel back, no poking holes in the top, and no changing the power setting stirring half way through cooking. Easy. Just the way I like it!

After it is done cooking the sauce is in the bottom of of the bowl and the chicken & other ingredients are on the top in a colander type bowl. Just lift out the colander, dump the stuff into the bowl underneath, stir with the sauce that was in the bottom of the bowl that was steaming your food. It’s pretty cool the way it steams your food. It really makes it taste fresh. The veggies were so crisp, it was so good!

My Kung Pao Chicken had 21g of whole grain, 17g of Protein, and was only 290 calories total. I’m sure my old standby brown bag lunch pales in comparison. I’m hooked! Not only did it save me time in the morning by not having to pack a lunch, the Cafe Steamers are better for me than what I had been eating for lunch. It’s really a no brainer…I’m packing Healthy Choice from now on!

Beautiful

I came across this Marc Jacobs Army Watch and fell in love. Isn’t it beautiful? The price tag isn’t bad either – $200. To bad it is sold out at the moment. Crossing my fingers that they have some more available in time for Christmas!

This one is pretty great too…and it’s in stock. Sorry the picture is so small…hope you aren’t viewing this on your phone – lol.
