Review: MorningStar Farms Veggie Bacon Strips

I think I've mentioned once or twice over the course of this year that I have happened upon giving up eating meat.  No particular reason for doing it, but I'm just challenging myself to see how long I can last.  So far, so good.  Being that I've given up eating meat, I've been trying to get out and give some meat substitute products a shot and my collection of MorningStar Farms reviews helps me meet those objectives.  Today's review is the MorningStar Farms faux version of the most overrated meat there is.  Yep, I just said it...bacon is OVERRATED.  Don't get me wrong, when I ate meat, I enjoyed bacon, but I think it gets way more love than it deserves.  Regardless, I picked up this box of MorningStar Farms Veggie Bacon Strips on sale at Kroger for $2.99 and each box is 5.25 ounces and contains about twenty (sorry, I didn't count) strips of "bacon" and each strip is 30 calories with a lonely gram of protein.

Review: Walden Farms Bacon Dip

A little while back I was on Netrition.com making a large purchase of new Walden Farms products to try out, some of which I've reviewed already, and while perusing the list, I saw a new dip that seemed unimaginable to me in a zero calorie form.  That dip was none other than the Walden Farms Bacon Dip and since I didn't see how this was possible, I knew that I had to add a jar to my order to try it out.  Like I said, I got this off Netrition.com for $3.79 and each twelve ounce container is zero calories, sugar free, etc.  Basically, is the same old, same old for Walden Farms.

Review: Lean Cuisine Simple Favorites Linguine Carbonara

I don't eat a lot of quick, frozen, microwaveable entrees, but when I do, I try to stick to the Weight Watchers Smart Ones or Lean Cuisine varieties of meals.  Since I try to stick to the healthy ones, I might as well review them for the blog, right?  Well, that leads me to this Lean Cuisine Simple Favorites Linguine Carbonara that I picked up on sale for $2.00 at my local neighborhood Meijer.  This one comes in at 9.25 ounces, has 280 calories and scores a seven on the Weight Watchers Points Plus scale.

Review: Walden Farms Creamy Bacon Salad Dressing

As the mission of this blog states, I'm always looking for a way to cut calories and Walden Farms salad dressing certainly fit the bill as they are calorie free.  I've written about some Walden Farms products before in a post at WouldIBuyItAgain.com, but one of the dressing I didn't cover at that time was the Creamy Bacon variety.

When I saw this new (to me) Walden Farms Creamy Bacon Salad Dressing flavor in the store, I knew I had to try it on top of my salad.  You may disagree with me, but I find bacon to be one of the most overrated foods that exist.  Don't get me wrong, I like bacon as much as the next guy, but the way people blubber and drool over it ("everything is better with bacon", etc.) actually angers me.  Sorry, nothing is that life altering.  Dissertation aside, I was anxious to try this one because I thought there'd be no way that this dressing would live up to its name.
