HERE'S WHAT I THINK

I thought I would share about a few products we tried this week, as I look for alternatives to meat products.

Last weekend I made homemade italian wedding soup, and used this Gimme Lean "sausage", aka "soysauge". I LOVED it. I actually made two batches of soup, one with the soysauge for me and the other with pork sausage for Paco. He actually said he couldn't even taste the difference. The best part? This stuff has 60 calories, 0 fat, 0 cholesterol and 7 grams of protein. The only downfall is the price...roughly about $3.50-$4.00 for a package. I will watch out for sales and coupons so I can buy more!

There have been a few of Morningstar's products that I didn't care for, but I did like this stuff. Paco (who is trying to be very supportive in my non-meat-eating venture), cooked it up for us last night and put it in a taco salad. Paco said he wasn't crazy about it, but I really didn't notice a difference and would use it again. This stuff is also pricey, close to $4.00. I thought I would try it this weekend in chili....YUM!
