In honor of the new year and a clean slate I vowed to 'do better' and try to make healthy choices when it comes to food. (Notice I did not say diet, I won't stick to it and who wants to diet for the rest of their life, anyway?) I'm trying to make wiser choices and stick to walking/working out 3 times a week. And might I say the frigid weather is not helping my quest for outdoor cardio!

While grocery shopping last week, I was strolling down the chip isle. I have been a baked chip patron for a long time. As I was staring at the baked chip choices (the same 3 choices I always stare at) I saw a new product. It was Flat Earth Baked Veggie Chips. The package claimed to pack in 1/2 a serving of vegetables in every ounce. I checked out the flavors and decided to try Farmland Cheddar.

Monday night as I was packing my lunch I pulled my new purchase out of the cabinet. I packed a serving in a zip lock bag and went on my way. Fast forward to Tuesday at lunchtime, time to give the snacks a taste. So I pop the first one in my mouth, hmm. I tried another. Still hmmmm. Just not that tasty. They taste like pumpkin flavored Cheez-Its. But I decided I could tolerate them - they are far from delicious, but not vile. Did I really think a snack that's ingredients include Whole Oat Flour, Pumpkin, Onion, Tomato Paste and Cheese would really taste like a chip? Oh well, at least I tried.
