<br>Hungry Girl Today: 06.29.09
<br>
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>Pepperidge Farm Deli Flats - If you've fallen for Arnold Select/Oroweat 
<br>Sandwich Thins, you'll be THRILLED to know that Pepperidge Farm just 
<br>launched its own version of the 100-calorie bread items. In Soft 100% Whole 
<br>Wheat, 7 Grain, and Soft Oatmeal, these each have 100 calories, 1 - 1.5g 
<br>fat, 19 - 
<br>20g carbs, 5g fiber, and 6g protein (POINTS&reg; value 1*). They're currently 
<br>sold at major supermarkets in the Mid-Atlantic area, and hopefully they'll go 
<br>national soon. This is great news -- the more high-fiber, low-calorie bun-like 
<br>options we have, the better. Woohoo!
<br>
<br>Lean Cuisine Baja-Style and BBQ Chicken Quesadillas - There's no shortage 
<br>of creative (and delicious!) ideas in that Lean Cuisine kitchen. LC has JUST 
<br>released two brand-new quesadilla options, each with 260 - 280 calories, 7 - 
<br>8g fat, 34 - 35g carbs, 2 - 8g fiber, and 16 - 18g protein (POINTS&reg; value 
<br>5*). These chicken-studded, cheesy meals are popping up in freezer aisles 
<br>RIGHT NOW, so start hunting for 'em. Mmmmmm! 
<br>
<br>New Flavors of Blue Diamond Almonds - If you like your nuts with a dusting 
<br>of intense flavor, you MUST check out the latest from the folks at Blue 
<br>Diamond (THE almond people). They just put out almonds in three new 
<br>flavors -- Bold Habanero BBQ (not as spicy as it sounds, and SO good), 
<br>Garden Herb (ridiculously tasty with a garlic kick), and Natural Oven Roasted 
<br>Honey (sweet and delicious). A 1-oz. serving (about 24 - 28 nuts) contains 
<br>160 - 170 calories, 13 - 15g fat, 5 - 9g carbs, 3g fiber, and 5 - 6g protein 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 4*). While we're yapping about flavored nuts -- Everybody's 
<br>Nuts! (our favorite pistachios on the planet) now come in a zesty South of the 
<br>Border flavor. Hooray for new and delicious nuts!
<br>  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Condiment Contests -- Pickles & Mustard RULE!!!
<br>
<br>Dill-icious News - Who's got the CUTEST CRUNCH? If you think it's YOU, your 
<br>spouse, or your kid, take a pic and send it in. You could win a thousand 
<br>bucks, a trip to NYC, and a year's supply of Vlasic pickles. Click for the full 
<br>scoop on that. And in other unrelated pickle news, Subway, in an effort to 
<br>keep sodium counts down, has decided to remove olives and pickles from its 
<br>standard sandwich build. Just a little FYI.
<br>
<br>25K Up for Grabs!!! - Have a FANTASTIC original recipe that features one of 
<br>the French's products? (Go, mustard, go!) If so, enter French's Cook-Off 
<br>2009 contest. Twenty semi-finalists will be chosen -- ten by judges, and ten 
<br>by online votes. Five finalists will compete LIVE in NYC for a chance to win 
<br>$25,000. Not bad! Click now for the 411. And if you DO enter, tell your pals 
<br>to vote for you... and try not to use those crazy-fatty French's Fried Onions in 
<br>your recipe, K?
<br>   
<br>
<br>
<br>S.O.S.! Are Light Menu Items in Trouble?
<br>
<br>A recent survey of American restaurant consumers found some conflicting 
<br>information when it comes to what people SAY is important to them and what 
<br>they actually order. Even though over 75% of adults said they'd want to see 
<br>more healthy items on the menu, about half admitted they don't usually 
<br>order the healthier options. And despite 80% claiming it's very or somewhat 
<br>important to them to eat healthy, only 20% said they consider health to be 
<br>an important factor when ordering a restaurant meal -- taste is what's most 
<br>important to them. Bottom line? If we want restaurants to offer more healthy 
<br>stuff, we need to actually order it! That being said, we're pleased to 
<br>announce that Mimi's Cafe has officially launched its Fresh & Fit Menu. Check 
<br>out a few of the offerings below. We recently had the turkey dinner, and it 
<br>was GOOD! (We saved calories and upped the fiber by getting double 
<br>veggies and no rice.)
<br>
<br>Ham, Cheddar, and Broccoli Egg White Omelette - 268 calories, 12g fat, 6g 
<br>carbs, 2g fiber, 34g protein (POINTS&reg; value 6*) 
<br>
<br>Chicken, Fruit and Baby Greens Salad - 425 calories, 7g fat, 52g carbs, 5g 
<br>fiber, 40g protein (POINTS&reg; value 8*) 
<br>
<br>Slow Roasted Turkey Breast - 610 calories, 13g fat, 76g carbs, 4g fiber, 21g 
<br>protein (POINTS&reg; value 12*)
<br>
<br>  
<br>  
<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>OMG!!!! A ridiculously cool person has taken pics of every page in a hard-to-
<br>find calorie-listing Cheesecake Factory menu guide, and it's ALL online for 
<br>you to view. Prepare to be horrified. Never mind the 1,500-calorie+ 
<br>desserts -- we found an ahi tuna entree with 1,750 calories and a bowl of 
<br>soup with calories in the quadruple digits! Click here to see the menu in its 
<br>entirety, and then send this email to everyone you know. ***Cook your 
<br>carrots? Hear this! New research suggests that the anti-cancer properties are 
<br>more potent if the carrots are kept whole while cooking. Scientists found 
<br>that "boiled before cut" carrots contained 25% more of the good cancer-
<br>fighting stuff than carrots chopped up and then cooked. Interesting! ***Hey! 
<br>Did you know that Vitalicious recently launched a line of coffee!? It's called 
<br>Strong & Gentle, and it's pretty smooth and fantastic. It's especially good 
<br>when you pair it with a Triple Chocolate Chunk VitaTop. Mmmmmmm! 
<br>***Guess what?! According to a survey from SeatGuru.com (awesome site, 
<br>BTW), U.S. airlines serve THE worst food of all. According to the results, 
<br>American, United, and US Airways serve the most unappealing food. 
<br>Singapore Airlines nabbed the top spot for best food, but, um, who's flying to 
<br>Singapore?! The bottom line is this: Bring your own food on board! ***Pick 
<br>up the next issue of People magazine (hits stands Thursday!) to see our 
<br>Chicken Fajita Pita recipe. Exciting stuff!!! Sadly, that's all we've got. HG out!
