Old Mc Walden had a Farm

Im trying to introduce a few new recipes and elements this time around, just to keep the diet fresh and fun.

As I was perusing the food list again - trying to remember whether red wine was an eligible liquid (but alas, it is not...) I came across the litany of Walden Farms products.

Now, I am quite suspicious of products that claim a zero calorie content, but I thought Id try it.  Since Im such a nut-freak and love peanut butter, I thought Id try their brand.  Just as my luck would have it though, they were sold out.

So, I ordered some other products to see if they would work for me.  $78 dollars and 5 days later, I received a neatly packed box replete with:
  • Apple butter
  • Raspberry "jam"
  • BBQ sauce
  • 4 types of salad dressings, and
  • Chocolate sauce
 I used the BBQ sauce for a chicken recipe, and while the smell is sweet and a little odd, the flavour is quite good.  Even the family liked it - though they dont know it was Walden Farms.

I like the raspberry, but its consistency is more like a gelatenous blob than anything resembling a jam or jelly.  Its good enough on my single Bon Matin 60% No Fat, No Sugar whole wheat bread in the morning though.

I finger-tasted the salad dressings and I hope theyll be better on the salad, because there was nothing raspberry-vinagrette tasting about that concoction - just like a salt lick.  As well, the Asian dressing didnt have any hint of soya or sesame flavour.  Well see how that goes...

What I do like was turning my Vanilla Proti shake with berries into a frozen yoghurt-style dessert.  I mix up one container of shake with 5 oz of berries (with some Splenda) and pour them into 3 small glass bowls.  I top them with one berry, then put in the freezer.  Once its frozen, I spoon a thin layer of the Walden Farms Chocolate sauce on top and let it freeze.  YUM YUM YUM!  The kids love this - I love this - and its a good 1/3 P and 1/3 F, with 1 tbsp O - for a lovely dessert.

Who says you cant eat well on Bernstein - with a little help from the Walden Farm-hands.
