Muir Glen Organic Chipotle Salsa

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Muir Glen Organic Chipotle Salsa is delicious.  Of course, I’ve hardly ever met a salsa I didn’t like.  It’s got a nice bite without being super spicy.  It’s a bit smokey and the tiniest bit sweet.  Yum.

Ingredients: Organic Diced Tomatoes in Juice, Organic Tomato Puree (Organic Tomato Paste, Water), Organic Onions, Organic Green Bell Pepper, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Organic Garlic, Sea Salt, Organic Cilantro, Organic Vinegar, Organic Chipotle Pepper Powder, Naturally Derived Citric Acid, Natural Smoke Flavor (Contains Organic Malted Barley Flour), Naturally Derived Calcium Chloride.

Tostitos Baked! SCOOPS!: Exclamation theirs, not mine

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Today I happened upon some Tostitos Baked! SCOOPS! at work.

Being a sucker for any food product with not only one but two exclamation points in its name, I scarfed down a personal-sized bag. Apparently that was equivalent, dietary fat-wise, to scarfing down just half of a bag of “regular tortilla chips.”

The texture is unmistakably Baked! in its bland and slightly cardboard-like flavor. Thankfully they did taste a bit saltier than the flat Baked! Tostitos I tried a few years ago.

What’s more, the Scoops!–pardon me, forgot to use Caps Lock–SCOOPS! come in a shell shape perfect for, you guessed it, SCOOPing. Filling ‘em with salsa, green pea thyme dip, or pretty much anything else with flavor is almost certain to add some legitimacy to all those exclamation points.

Garden of Eatin’ Sesame Blues Chips: Utopia

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Having previously professed my love of salsa, it should come as no surprise that, to me, chips are often a mere vehicle to transport salsa from bowl to mouth.

Sometimes, though, I crave chips for their inherent goodness.

Garden of Eatin’ has many delicious varieties of chips.  Sesame Blues are my favorite for non-dipping because they are flavorful and nutty.

The ingredients are: organic blue corn, expeller pressed oleic safflower and/or sunflower oil, organic sesame seeds, sea salt.

It worries me somewhat when ingredient listings include “and/or.”  But in the case of Sesame Blues, I’ll conveniently overlook it.

Cupboard Staple: Green Mountain Gringo Salsa

Monday, October 6th, 2008

There are two types of people: those who eat salsa with corn chips and those who eat salsa with almost everything.

I always have at least two or three jars of salsa stocked in my cabinet, often Green Mountain Gringo in its medium, hot, and roasted garlic varieties. Mexican dishes are obvious matches (burritos, enchiladas, tacos) but I also love a splash of salsa in rice, salads, pastas, and potatoes. It’s a good substitute for fresh tomatoes and is helpful for added spice.

Another benefit of this brand of salsa is that its packaging is a glass Mason jar. I wash the jars, remove the labels and re-use them for canning or storing dried beans or other supplies in the pantry.
