Taste Test - Amy's Brown Rice & Vegetable Bowl
It was one of those days when I had to work several hours straight on a
writing assignment and suddenly I realized (via the computer clock and the
growling stomach) that it was lunchtime. I went to the freezer in the garage
(always filled with eclectic food items) and found a new food product I had
been wanting to try AMY'S BROWN RICE & VEGETABLE BOWL (Light in Sodium).
I popped it into the microwave and 5 minutes later, I had a very vegetarian
looking (not that there is anything wrong with that) 250 calorie entree in
front of me. It looked good to me, but I wanted to add some cheddar cheese
to it (which would still work for lacto-vegetarians). I'm not sure what
inspired this, but the combination was delicious.
I don't know about you but I am always looking for an easy way to work in
those whole grains, vegetables, and soy products, and this product has all three! If you can't find Amy's in your supermarket, you can try Whole Foods or go to their website).
Here's the nutrition information (without the cheese):

Calories-250
