***ATTENTION TEXT-ONLY HG SUBSCRIBERS (this means YOU!): Since only
<br>a tiny fraction of our audience receives our emails in text-only form, and the
<br>emails look so much better designed in HTML, we have decided to stop
<br>sending out the text-only versions of Hungry Girl newsletters. This change
<br>will happen in the very near future. Keep an eye out for the HTML versions in
<br>your inbox... coming soon!***

<br>Hungry Girl Today: 12.21.09
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>Kettle Cuisine Three Bean Chili - The peeps at Kettle Cuisine -- makers of 
<br>delicious, all-natural soup -- have an AMAZING new veggie chili out. It has 
<br>THREE kinds of beans (doy), plus lots of vegetables and TONS of flavor. Each 
<br>10-oz. bowl has 220 calories, 3.5g fat, 450mg sodium, 36g carbs, 13g fiber, 
<br>12g sugars, and 11g protein (POINTS&reg; value 4*). Kettle C. goods can be 
<br>found in the freezer section of Whole Foods and select other grocery stores.
<br>
<br>Yogi Granola Crisps - Two words, people: WOW, WOW. Alright, so that's the 
<br>same word twice, but who cares! These are GREAT. They come in Fresh 
<br>Strawberry Crunch, Baked Cinnamon Raisin, and Mountain Blueberry Flax 
<br>(all amazingly delicious). A 1/2-cup serving of the all-natural crisps has 110 - 
<br>120 calories, 2.5g fat, 50mg sodium, 21g carbs, 2g fiber, 4 - 5g sugars, and 
<br>3g protein (POINTS&reg; value 2*). Find Yogi products in select supermarkets or 
<br>order these online. DO IT!
<br>
<br>Gerber Graduates Lil' Crunchies, Zesty Tomato - You know we eat baby 
<br>food. Get over it. These baked whole-grain corn snacks = AWESOME. An 18-
<br>piece serving has only 35 calories, 1.5g fat, 50mg sodium, 4g carbs, <1g 
<br>fiber, 0g sugars, and 0g protein (POINTS&reg; value 1*), plus they're SUPER-
<br>flavorful. Sweet, zesty... AHHHHHH, so gooood!
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Let Starbucks Pick Your Brain!
<br>
<br>Are you a java know-it-all? Have a spectacular coffee-related idea and no 
<br>one to tell it to? YOU are in luck, kiddo. The folks at Starbucks want your 
<br>ideas AND they plan to use 'em. Go to mystarbucksideas.com to submit your 
<br>genius proposal. ("Dear SB... Have you considered offering Unsweetened 
<br>Vanilla Almond Breeze?") Maybe it'll catch on! Check out these 50+ ideas 
<br>they've recently launched, including the fantastic Decaf Via. You can also 
<br>scope out other people's suggestions and even vote on them. (Sign up to 
<br>post ideas and to vote.) In fact, here are some we think are worth voting 
<br>on...
<br>
<br>Fat-Free Whipped Cream - No explanation needed!
<br>
<br>Mini Cookies - Same great flavors, but fewer calories and lower cost.
<br>
<br>More Sugar-Free Syrup Options - Coconut! Chocolate Macadamia Nut! Oreo! 
<br>(Does that last one even exist? 'Cuz it should.)
<br>
<br>Nicely done, Starbucks (and Starbucks suggesters)!
<br>

<br>Don't Forget Your Furry Friends: Holiday Tips for Pet Owners...
<br>
<br>We found some GREAT advice for keeping your non-human family members 
<br>safe during the holidays. We're sharing it with you because WE CARE. How is 
<br>this related to guilt-free food? Try reading it while chewing a VitaTop... 
<br>
<br>* Make sure to keep chocolate away from pets. They love it, but it's 
<br>potentially VERY bad for them. Other super-fatty, sugary, and/or caffeinated 
<br>human foods aren't good for them either. 
<br>
<br>* During a party, clean up any spilled alcohol and half-empty glasses of the 
<br>stuff. It's SUPER-dangerous to pets.
<br>
<br>* Take caution with live Christmas trees. Make sure the water stand is 
<br>covered -- between bacteria and poisonous pine sap, that water can be 
<br>detrimental to pets if they drink it. Also make sure to clean up loose pine 
<br>needles, so your little pals don't ingest them. 
<br>
<br>* Beware of decorations that can be hazardous to pets! Animals can choke 
<br>on tinsel, and that spray-on snow can be toxic.
<br>
<br>* Festive plants are great, but some of them are poisonous. ACK! Avoid 
<br>lilies, holly, and mistletoe... or at least anchor that mistletoe REALLY well and 
<br>high up.
<br>

<br>kiddies, too) by clicking here, here, and here. Oh, and don't forget to give a 
<br>special pet-friendly treat (or two) to your favorite animal. Woof! Meow. 
<br>Quack!

<br>The HG Poll Results Are In!!!

<br>you responded within the first 12 hours! Here's what you had to say...
<br>
<br>Sandwich Thins excluded, the 50-calorie, HG-endorsed Yoplait Fiber One 
<br>Yogurt was voted the best new product. (YAY!) Pillsbury Crescent Recipe 
<br>Creations Seamless Dough Sheet and Jell-O Mousse Temptations tied in a 
<br>close second place. ***The BEST dessert recipe, according to YOU, is our 
<br>Best of My Lava Chocolate Cake. Swingin' Cinna-Monkey Bread Singles also 
<br>earned thousands and thousands of votes. ***When it comes to non-dessert 
<br>recipes, the 10-Alarm Turkey Chili (in a slow cooker) was voted the most 
<br>popular. Tying for 2nd place: Too-EZ Mac 'n Cheese and EZ Cheesy Lasagna 
<br>for Two. ***Regarding the upcoming year, nearly 50% of you are most 
<br>excited about new recipes that'll debut in the daily emails. ***Your favorite 
<br>new addition to HG in '09 is slow cooker recipes, by an overwhelming margin. 
<br>***The type of video content with the most votes? Recipe demos, like our 
<br>H.O.T. Hot Boneless Buffalo Wings video! ***The winning snack duo of the 
<br>year: Egg Beaters Original + Laughing Cow Light, a.k.a. The Egg Mug 
<br>Classic, by a landslide. ***And as for the food trend you hope is here to 
<br>stay? 100-calorie portion-controlled foods, followed closely by adding FIBER 
<br>to everything. Yayayayayay! Thanks for taking our poll. That's all we've got.
