Review: Van's Creamy Herb & Garlic Gluten Free Pasta

I wish I could say the life of a food review blogger is glamorous, but it really isn't.  Still, it does have some benefits and most of those benefits revolve around getting products for free.  The source of today's review is one of those instances and adds to my Van's review catalog, which incidentally is one that entirely consists of products that I've gotten for free.  So today's free product is a box of Van's Creamy Herb & Garlic Gluten Free Pasta.  The box is 7.2 ounces and each box contains three one-cup servings and as it is properly prepared, each serving is 320 calories.  The pasta is also whole grain and gluten free, so there's clearly some health benefits (or non-negatives if you choose to look at it that way) associated with this product.

Review: Green Giant Zesty Cheddar Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips

I mentioned in my last Green Giant review that I had the freaking brand theme song locked in my head.  Fortunately, I've managed to shake that and because it's not rocking my head and driving me crazy anymore, I figured now was as good of a time as any to look at one of Green Giant's original chip flavors with this bag of Green Giant Zesty Cheddar Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips that I picked up on sale at Marsh for the low, low price of $1.00.  Each bag is 5.0 ounces and has five servings per bag.  For those of you keeping score at home, one serving is about ten chips and each of those servings is a 140 calories.

Review: Walden Farms Alfredo Pasta Sauce

In the world of pasta sauces, I chose tomato (red) sauce over Alfredo (white) sauce about 98 times out of 100.  Just my personal preference, but after one of my many Walden Farms reviews where I reviewed their abysmal Walden Farms Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce (posted yesterday), I decided I'd give their Walden Farms Alfredo Pasta Sauce a try even though I wasn't expecting a lot based on my prior review.  Like the last, I picked this up at Kroger for $3.69 and it's twelve ounces.  Like all Walden Farms products it's sugar free, calorie free, fat free, gluten free, etc.  As always, it's a miracle of science.
