Brie Cheese - Meet the King of All Cheeses

!±8± Brie Cheese - Meet the King of All Cheeses

If you are a true blue cheese-lover through and through, then just saying 'brie' would excite your taste buds. Perhaps you would even salivate. Brie cheese, with its rich history to back it up and a truly impeccable taste that matches meat, vegetables, fruits or sauces, deserves more than a minute of attention.

According to some legends, Emperor Charlemagne of France had his first bite of the creamy cheese and instantly fell in love with it. Who wouldn't, anyway? Brie cheese tastes fruity and is also soft and creamy. Perhaps your interest towards this type of cheese would be doubled if you would learn that Charlemagne's dying wish was to have a 'last bite' of his favorite brie! But all of that was way back in the eighth century and until now, the cheese's popularity has not waned.

In addition to the famous Charlemagne legend, a certain Frenchman named Talleyrand suggested a worldwide competition where judges would decide which cheese was the best. Naturally, brie cheese ran away with the title: "King of All Cheeses".

The 'original' French Brie is manufactured in Seine-et-Marne in Paris. It got its name from La Brie which is one of the provinces of Northern France. Modern day French, call it, well...French Brie.

And no one could contest the way brie has withstood the test of time because it still is the number one cheese in France (with about 400+ different types all over the country).

It is actually illegal to import this type of cheese in the United States because milk products that are used for cheese processes should be aged 60 days, at least. So for those who could not afford to go to Paris and buy the 'real thing', they can buy from those who manufacture this cheese locally.

French Brie is made of cow's milk (unpasteurized). Its commercial counterparts, on the other hand, are made of whole or skim milk (pasteurized). True Brie is a mixture of the following flavors: hazelnut, herbs and fruits. It is not cooked. It is only heated to just below 37 degrees Celsius during the stage of renneting. After heating, it is placed in mold and sprinkled with dry salt.

The process of maturation, which is about four weeks (or more), takes place in a cellar. These cellars are specially built for the purpose of creating brie cheese. These cellars should maintain a certain temperature to ensure that the fragile cheese is not destroyed. Since this is so, brie cheese manufacturers are not assured that maturation would really take place. Much risk is involved in this type of business.
The 'real Brie' naturally develops molds around its exterior while the commercial ones have to be sprayed with spores (artificial ones) around the edges to develop the same result. The moldy exterior is actually edible and should be served together with whatever food goes with the cheese or when it is served, alone, as an appetizer.

Now let's get down to the most interesting part: eating Brie. The best way to consume brie is to have it at room temperature. As an appetizer, brie cheese is delectable and very versatile. It is usually paired with crackers, fruits, nuts and even breads.

There are so many ways of cooking and presenting brie. And the best wines to go with this mouth-watering cheese? 'Cote-du-Rhone' (a type of red wine), Chardonnay, Beaujolais Nouveau, Burgundy or Bordeaux (still red) and, of course, champagne. The keywords are: any sparkling wine.

For cooking, brie is best used as a topping for certain foods. If one is interested in knowing some recipes that use brie cheese, there are several of them that are offered on some websites. Examples of brie recipes that you could research are:

1. Baked Brie (with Amaretto)

2. Baked Potatoes with Brie

3. Spicy Roast Beef and Brie Panini

4. Rose-glazed Brie

5. Four Cheese Pate

6. Brie-stuffed Chicken Breasts

7. Savory Cheesecake

8. Walnut-glazed Brie

9. Upscale Cuban Panini Sandwiches

10. Black Olive Pate

Being able to know the history and the qualities that made Brie 'King' is as important as enjoying the meals this cheese improves. After all, you just don't just crown something for no reason. Brie IS king and will remain so for many years more. We can bet on that!

Lower Triglycerides - A True Story From a 33 Year Old Male

!±8± Lower Triglycerides - A True Story From a 33 Year Old Male

Life can change in the blink of an eye. In just one quick moment, your entire future could be changed by a new occurrence or awareness. Dramatic life altering news can either make us stronger or weaker. Most of the time, the actual news or reality does not hold the most impact on our life, but it is our response to the event. As people, it is very simple to accept and embrace positivity or success. But when we show that we can overcome the odds and handle difficult struggles, this is what makes us endure and prolong our life successes.

My name is Sean Lewett. I am currently 33 years old, married to my lovely wife for close to 8 years, and have 3 beautiful young children. 10 years ago during college, I noticed that I was struggling with my health. I could not seem to pay attention in school, my mind wondered, and my energy levels were low. I went in for a physical and they drew my blood. My results were devastating. My Triglycerides were over 800, and my cholesterol could not be calculated since my blood was so saturated with fatty lipids, or high triglycerides.

How could this be? I was not overweight at 5' 8" and 155 lbs. I did not eat that unhealthy. Growing up as a kid, our family was always health conscious. My mother has been sick for a very long time with MS, porphyria, and a host of other health problems. My 3 sisters and I never had the sugar cereals, or any of the popular junk food in our home that other kids were aloud to eat. The local health food store was a common stop for us as a family on a weekly basis. During high school and college, I ate a good breakfast, many times a subway club for lunch, and high protein low fat dinner. However, I drank alcohol on occasion, and sometimes ate pasta at night before going to sleep.

Over the years my triglyceride and cholesterol levels have been extremely high and back to normal many times. Just before thanksgiving 2010, I had my triglycerides checked. My triglycerides were 575, and my cholesterol could not be tested.

Now, more than ever my health is so important to me. I want to be here for my kids and watch them grow up. I decided to make sure that the past 10 years haven't already affected my heart. So I went to see a cardiologist. They did an EKG, and stress test. Fortunately, the tests did not determine anything negative - thank God. The doctor prescribed me special fish oil, and a temporary medication. I decided to go another route and lower my triglycerides myself and completely naturally.

I know what you are thinking. Why has this stubborn guy avoided medication for so long? Well, it is like this. With all the negative side affects you hear about so often, a family history of health issues, and not knowing the long term down side of these drugs, I still feel the determination to tackle this problem naturally. Many people probably would have already made a different decision being in my situation. I am a believer that changing your life for the better in any way, and aligning your lifestyle to the way God planned is most important.

Today, I am serious about the changes that I have made to keep my health right. It has been 2 months since I had my blood tested with the 575 result. My most recent test - my triglycerides were 93, my HDL and LDL Cholesterol are both normal. Amazing! So I have taken my triglycerides down over a whopping 483 in the past 2 months, completely and 100% naturally. For me, this is a great achievement and much needed improvement for my health.

How did I lower my triglycerides to normal levels in 2 months completely naturally?

Here is my formula of success for lowering triglycerides

Take a look at my effective eating plan;

I changed my Diet. I researched and created a natural triglyceride diet. I only eat foods on the good side of the glycemic index. Most importantly I followed an alcohol free, low sugar, low saturated fat, low starch & high fiber, and low carbohydrate eating plan.

Low Sugar, wheat free, gluten free, high protein & fiber, low fat, low carb

I Only drink filtered water (add lemon or lime), hot tea (caffeine free), fruit shake made only from natural fruit, vegetable juicing made only from vegetables. A great drink that tastes good is juicing apples, celery, carrots, spinach, broccoli, and peas - a very refreshing drink.

I do not drink alcohol, soda pop, or any other drink with sugar or a sugar substitute

Breakfast - Oatmeal without any sweet, egg whites 3 times a week or less, western omelet, cheerios, or sugar free cereal made with brown rice or whole oats. Pancakes or waffles made with brown rice flower and flaxseed only. No Syrup or sugar based topping, no bacon (turkey or sausage), no white, wheat, or corn tortillas. Minimal honey and cinnamon.

Lunch & Dinner - Fish, Chicken, Low fat Turkey, and Beef. Tuna fish, low fat turkey, chicken, or roast beef sand which on Ezekiel bread, grilled chicken salad with light dressing, bean soup such as chili, Fruits & Vegetables, brown rice (no white rice). No white or wheat breads, or anything with wheat in it. Oats and Whole or Multi Grains, no sauces, light dressings, and snacks. No pasta, unless it is made of brown rice. Foods high in unsaturated fats, and low saturated fats.

Snacks - Fruit & Vegetables, cherries, black berries, cranberries, blueberries, lentil chips, peas, or vegetables. Chips made with grain, flax, chia, sesame, soy, beans, veggies, and hemp seeds are ok. Hummus, Beans, and most Nuts. Chopped beans of any kind with garlic, onions, and herbs are a great dip. I have found that spicy foods are a great alternative to sweets.

I work out and exercise 3 days a week for 30 minutes. Sometimes I lift with free weights, however running for over 20 minutes each of the 3 days is necessary.

I take 1750 MG of Omega-3 Fish Oil each day

I take 500 MG of Garlic each day

I honestly believe that God sees our sacrifices, and blesses our achievement. No matter what the sacrifice, to give up something that you love is absolutely one of the most difficult yet rewarding things you can do. And believe it or not, you actually do not miss the old things nearly as much as you thought you would. Whether it's a drug habit, health, job, or personal sacrifice, any action you make to better your life will result in achievement and honor. Staying optimistic and humble during a difficult time speaks highly of a person's integrity and perseverance. There are no better feelings than ones that come from helping others, giving, living righteously, sacrificing, and being courageous even during difficult times. My goal and aspiration is to stand by my decision, and continue to live a healthy life forever. Being here for my family is most important. Thank you for reading my story, I hope you find it intriguing and that it may be an example to help change your life for the better.

Parrot Toys - Everything You Need to Know

!±8± Parrot Toys - Everything You Need to Know

This article is for you if you own a parrot or are thinking about getting a parrot.

1 - Why Do Parrots Need Toys

You already know that you need a LOT of toys to keep a parrot entertained if you have a parrot or several parrots. If you're thinking about getting a parrot then get ready to hire a staff of Santa's Elves because you're going to need them. Most parrots love to destroy toys. This is a healthy, necessary, and required behavior. After food, water, and your attention, toys are probably the next most important things in your parrot's world. Toys are not an optional accessory for you parrot; they are essential. Toys provide mental stimulation, physical stimulation, and keep your parrot's beak trimmed.

Parrots spend a lot of time searching and foraging for food in the wild. This entertains them and stimulates them. In your home, the toys provide the necessary means for your parrot to entertain itself. Toys also provide the mental stimulation required by your parrot. Some experts say that the parrot's emotional level is similar to a 2 year-old child. They also say their intelligence is similar to a 3 year-old child. So stimulating toys are just as necessary for you parrot as they are for a 2 or 3 year old child.

There is also another more tangible reason for providing toys for your parrot. Toys are required to keep your parrot's beak trim. The beak is always growing much like out fingernails. Your parrot's beak will become overgrown without something to chew on. This will require a trip to the vet, toweling, and filing of the beak. This is stressful to the parrot and can be avoided by providing toys for your parrot to chew up and destroy.

2 - What Are the Types of Toys?

There are several types of toys. These are general categories and some toys fall into several of the categories. Some are designed to give your parrot mental exercise such as Puzzle Toys. Some are designed to give your parrot physical exercise such as Exercise Toys, and Grasping Toys. Finally, some are designed to give your parrot a healthy beak and healthy feathers such as Chew Toys and Preening Toys.
Puzzle Toys - These are typically puzzles with treats inside them. They encourage the parrot to solve the puzzle to earn the treat. Some are simple lids on boxes and some are complex and require the parrot to unscrew nuts from bolts to open a treat holder. Exercise Toys - These are typically rings or ladders that encourage your parrot to climb, hang, or swing. Grasping Toys - These are "hand" held toys and other toys that encourage your parrot to hold them while playing with them. This encourages your parrot to exercise its "hands". Chew Toys - These are for shredding. They keep your parrot's beak trim. Preening Toys - These are typically hanging toys that encourage your parrot to preen them. The theory is that if your bird preens it's toys then it will be encouraged to preen itself. Preening is necessary for your parrot to maintain healthy feathers.
3 - Important Toy Safety Issues

There are several things to avoid when buying or making toys. These include safety issues with your parrot consuming the toy and other physical safety concerns. Some materials to avoid include toxic inks, staples, rubber, Styrofoam, soft plastic and costume jewelry. These items are potential dangerous items if your parrot ingests them. There are also items that pose a physical danger. These items include key-chain rings, frayed ropes, and a crowded cage. Key chain rings can potentially get caught on you parrot's beak or their nails. Frayed ropes are also potentially dangerous if your parrot's feet get tangled in the frayed ends. Finally, a crowded cage can be dangerous if your parrot doesn't have room to spread its wings.

Leather strips are often used to tie toy parts together. If you're using your own leather strips then make sure they are not dyed, tanned, or treated in any way. If there is a doubt then don't use it. Glue is often used to glue toy parts together such as Popsicle sticks. Make sure you use a non-toxic glue such as Kid-Safe glues if you use glue and use as little as possible.

Glues should be avoided when making toys unless necessary. A "Kid-Safe" glue that is non-toxic should be used if required and you should use as little as possible.

One final consideration regarding safety is toys mixed with food or treats. Some toys have treats in them or fastened to them. This is acceptable and this type of toys is one of the parrot's favorite toys. However, flavoring toys with food can be dangerous and should be avoided. This happens when some people make toys and want to color the toys. The coloring should be non-toxic and food free. If it tastes like food or a treat then your parrot may consume it. If you want to dye wood blocks then use a nonflavored coloring for the same reason. Some people recommend food coloring or unsweetened Kool-Aid to color your wood blocks.

4 - What Makes a Toy a Good Toy?

There are several factors that make a toy a "Good Toy". The most important factor is that the toy must be safe. The previous section listed some materials to avoid. This section lists some characteristics that make a toy a "Good Toy".
Colorful - Parrots can see colors. Chewable - This will help keep their beak trim. Different Textures - Parrots "feel" with their beaks and can distinguish different textures. Appropriate Size - Buying or making your toys the appropriate size is a key consideration. Mentally Challenging - The toys should be mentally challenging such as Treats inside Toys. Quick Links - Also called "C clips" or "C clamps". They have a screw fastener and are shaped like a "C" Moving Parts - Parrots love a lot of moving part and swinging parts. Makes Noise - Parrots love bells and musical toys. Puzzles - Some "puzzles" are simple (lid on a box) and some are very complex.
5 - Where Can I Get Toys?

Now we know what makes a dangerous toy and what makes a good toy. There are a few places/means to get toys. You can purchase them at pet stores or on the Internet. This is the easiest and most convenient way to get toys. You can also build your own toys. These are referred to as DIY (Do-It-Yourself) toys. This is the cheapest way to get toys. Finally, you can do a combination of buying, building, and recycling which for most people is a happy medium.

Buying toys at pet stores or online is very convenient. There are two key considerations necessary before buying the toys. These are material and size. Toys come in a variety of materials and are often a mix of the following materials. The common toy materials are wood, rope, leather, acrylic, and metal. All of these materials are safe. However, you should check each toy to ensure that there aren't other hazards such as entanglement (frayed rope or clips) or ingesting hazards (small parts). The size of the toy is also a key consideration. Most pet stores recommend what toys should be purchased for what size of parrots. However, there isn't an industry standard in "sizing". Check the size of the toy and match the size of the toy with the size of your parrot. A general sizing is small (Conures & Pionus) , medium (African Greys & Amazons), and large (Macaws & Large Cockatoos).

Buying toys is often how parrot owners start out getting toys for their parrots. After buying parrot toys for a while you will soon realize that the cost is very high. You will find yourself spending for a toy with nothing to show after a couple hours of your parrot chewing on it. It's very similar to feeding money into a shredder. Some parrots are better at destroying toys than others so some parrots require a lot more toys than others require. You will soon begin to realize that you can build your own toys a lot cheaper than you can buy them. Building your own toys is the cheapest way to get toys for your parrot. DIY (Do-It-Yourself) toys are a cost effective means to provide your parrot with toys. This does require some knowledge and experience using tools but only very basic tools. You might need a wood saw to cut wood, a drill to drill holes, and possibly a pair of pliers. You can purchase the wood at a local hardware store, bring it home and cut it up, then hang it from your bird's cage using rope, wire, cloth, or leather strips. The DIY method also requires some creativity on your part. However, after looking at other toys at pet stores or online, you can come up with your own ideas about building your own toys. While this is the cheapest way to get toys, it does require a lot of cutting and drilling. There is a third option for those of you who don't have the energy or inclination to dedicate this much effort. This option is a combination of buying toys and making toys.

The third option for getting toys is to combine the buying and making methods. In this case you purchase toy parts and make your own toys. These toy parts come in toy making kits where all the pieces are included and you just have to assemble them. These toy parts also come in packages that just include wood blocks or just include plastic blocks, or just include other parts. In this case, you may want to purchase several different packages of toy parts and mix and match them. This requires very little work because the toy parts are ready to assemble and don't require cutting or drilling. And these DIY kits are often cheaper than the fully assembled toys. This option is how most long time parrot owners get toys for their parrots.

6 - How Can I Save Money on Toys?

There are several ways to save money on toys. The first option is to use common household materials to make toys and to supplement toys. Here's the "Top Ten Cheap Materials to Use to Make Parrot Toys" It actually has sixteen items but who has ever heard of the "Top Sixteen List"?
Unscented Toilet Paper rolls and Paper Towel rolls - Most parrots love to shred these. You can put them with other toys or just hang them from their cage. Some recommend that you not use these items due to the glue on the rolls containing Zinc. You may want to watch your parrot the first time to see if they're eating them or just shredding them before turning them loose to shred these. Chinese Finger-Cuffs - That may not be the politically correct name for these. They're the tubes that you put your fingers in and they tighten as you pull your fingers out. These can liven up any toy or be used alone and hung from the cage bars.. Magazine Inserts - You know those annoying things ads that fall out of magazines? Guess what your parrot thinks of them. They love to shred them. Some warn against giving these if they have ink on them but just watch your parrot the first time to see if they're eating them or just shredding them before turning them loose to shred these. Baby Key Rings - Baby toys usually make an excellent toy for parrots too. The baby key rings are a lot of fun and provide long lasting entertainment to your parrot. Paper Cups, Plates, Straws - All of these are inexpensive and easy to chew for your parrots. Cut them and tie them together. The more creative you are, the more your parrot will appreciate them. Ping Pong Balls - These provide good "hand" toys or if you poke a hole through them you can hang them in their cage or on their play-stand. Pine Cones - If you have these available, they make a great toy. Make sure they're clean before giving them to your parrot. Newspapers - Just make sure the ink isn't toxic. Roll the paper up into a tight roll and tie it together. A paper-log can provide hours of fun to your parrot or just minutes depending on what type of parrot you have. Cardboard boxes - Small boxes can provide fun to your parrot and you as you watch your parrot experiment. Ink Pens - Those plastic pins with the clicker button make an excellent toy. Just make sure you remove the ink part and the inside parts (clicker,spring,etc) before giving it to your parrot. BONUS!--Wooden Clothes Pins - If you have any, these are great chew toys for parrots. Just make sure they're the old style without the metal springs. BONUS!--Worn Shoe String - Make sure they're clean and use them to tie other toy parts together. Watch for frayed ends, which may get tangled in the parrots talons. BONUS!--Rag Strips - Cut old (clean) rags up and tie them in knots. Just make sure they're clean and watch for frayed ends, which may get tangled in the parrots talons. BONUS!--Unscented Paper Towels - Just tie them around their cage bars or around toys and watch them shred these. This is also a good way to encourage a parrot to play with a new toy. BONUS!--Coffee Filters - Just the plain cheap paper filters. Cut a hole through a bunch of them and tie them together with string or a leather strip. This is cheap and will provide a lot of entertainment. BONUS!--Food Stuff - Some people use Cheerios and raw pasta to supplement their toys. They tie the Cheerios or raw pasta onto toys or just hang strings of them from the cage. I personally don't like to mix food and toys but it's just a personal preference. BONUS!--Popsicle sticks - You can buy these at craft store at reasonable prices. If you use them after eating the Popsicle then rinse it thoroughly.
The second way to save money is to reuse and recycle old toys. It is important to regularly clean and rotate in new toys to keep your parrot healthy and stimulated. This is the perfect opportunity to clean and disassemble old toys and use the old parts with new parts to make new toys. This recycling saves money and also provides some familiarity to your bird when you rotate in new toys. This familiarity will encourage your bird to play with the new toys. Getting your parrot to play with new toys is sometimes a challenge. This topic is covered in the next section.

The third way to save money is to go to "Second Hand" stores such as "Goodwill" and "Salvation Army" stores. They probably don't have bird toys but they do often have baby toys. Most baby toys are also safe for parrots. Be sure to heed the safety warnings earlier in this article. Most toys like wooden blocks use toxic free paints that make them usable by parrots. Also some of the toys such as the hard plastic baby key rings make excellent toys for parrots. There are excellent values to be found in these stores and these stores provide another way for you to save money on your parrot's toys.

7 - How to Get Your Parrot to Play With Toys?

So either you spent on a new toy or you spent 20 minutes making a new toy and you show it to your bird. Your anticipation and excitement level is about 10 on a scale from 1 to 10 but your bird's excitement level is about a 1 on a scale from 1 to 10. What happened and how can you fix this problem? Some parrots are afraid of new things, some are afraid of certain colors, or just afraid of the way some objects look. These fears or your parrot's shyness can challenge you and your parrot. Here are some ideas to overcome these fears and to encourage your parrot to play with toys.
Introduce new toys slowly. Try new location in the cage Tie paper towels around the new toy Put a dab of peanut butter on it but make sure you wash it off later. Try the toy again in a couple months Recycle old toy parts into new toys Regularly rotate new toys into your bird's environment
The first idea, "Introduce new toys slowly", will vary depending on your parrot. Use the following process for very shy or frightful parrots.
Start with the new toy several feet from the cage but within sight of the bird. Every other day move the toy closer to the cage Put the toy in the bottom of the cage for a couple days. When your parrot plays with it then hang it in the cage.
If you notice fear in your parrot at any point in the process then you should back up a step in the process and proceed slower.

8 - Top Ten Cheap DIY Toys

There are thousands of possible DIY toys that you can make your parrot. Here are ten ideas that require no tools and very little time.
Wrap a treat in a paper towel and tie both ends. Use a clean cloth glove as a piata. Take a piece of paper towel roll and put a treat inside it and crimp both ends. Tie Paper Towels onto a string with wood blocks and hang it. Poke holes into nuts and make a string of nuts and wood blocks. Roll up a newspaper into a tight log, tie it in the middle, and hang it. Poke holes into a stack of Magazine Inserts, thread them on a string with wooden blocks and hang it. Glue Popsicle sticks together and hang it. Put a Ping Pong ball inside a closed paper cub and hang it. Any combination or mix of the 9 ideas above.
9 - Concluding Remarks

Hopefully this article has been a useful introduction to toys for your parrot. The topics in this article will help you save money, help you make entertaining toys, and help you provide your parrot with the stimulation and entertainment that it requires. The Internet is a good source for ideas. Check out the commercial toys for sale on the Internet and try to duplicate them. Have fun, be creative, and save some money.

The Best Tasting Nutrisystem Foods

!±8± The Best Tasting Nutrisystem Foods

In the past, I've written about Nutrisystem and my experiences on it.  One of the most common comments that I get is "honestly, how does the Nutrisystem food taste?  Which foods are good and which foods are really bad?"  I'll answer this question in the following article.  Obviously, I can't even come close to commenting on every food, as this diet has 120 choices, but I will tell you what I believe that be standouts (both the good and the bad) and I'll include some of the new supposed "restaurant quality frozen foods" in the list.  The good news is that this diet allows you to customize your package and hand pick your food, so you won't be stuck with anything that you can't stand.

The Nutrisystem Breakfast Foods That Taste Good:  I am very partial to the muffins.  The poppy seed and the blueberry are outstanding and do not taste like diet food. Also, these are very convenient.  You don't really need to do anything to them.

There are also a lot of bars in the breakfast line up and some are tasty to me, but some aren't. The ones that I like are the chocolate chip, the cinnamon swirl, and the apple strudel.  I do not like the cranberry or the harvest nut, but I'm not a fan of dried fruit.

There are also cereals and oatmeal.  I do really like the oatmeal.  It doesn't have any weird after taste about it like I suspected.  The blueberry is my favorite. Of the dry cereals, I like the Cluster Crunch as it is sort of a mix between cheerios and honey nut clusters.

Nutrisystem Dinner Stand Outs:  There are a couple meals that I really like in the dinner category.  These are the raviolis and the pizzas. You can chose from cheese or cheese and spinach as far as ravioli goes. Both are go and there's no so much spinach in it so that it has a strong taste.  In terms of pizza, you have a few choices, the flat bread, the sour dough and the thick crust.  All is pretty decent, but I'm partial to the flat bread.  If you've going to compare these in terms of Pizza Hut (but not so greasy and lower calories of course) the flat bread is like thin and crispy, the sour dough is kind of like hand tossed and the thick crust is sort of like a pan.

I also like the vegetarian chili, the tacos (although the shell is more like a tostada) and the chicken sandwich.  In general, I steer clear of the pastas and the stroganoffs.  I don't like for my food to be all mixed together like that, but that's just how I feel about all stroganoffs,  not just Nutrisystem's.

Decent Tasting Snacks And Desserts: I'm going to admit it. The breakfasts and the snacks are my favorite part of this diet.  There is very little that is bad here.  I adore the pound cake, the almond biscotti, the candy bars, and the fudge brownie the most, but the only dessert that I really don't eat is the Blueberry lemon bar.  Again, I don't like my flavors mixed.  I would've rather had just a lemon or just a blueberry bar, but that's just me.

As far as the snacks go, you'll never mistake the cheese puffs for Cheetos, but they're really not half bad. They kind of taste like the baked Cheetos. I also like the zesty herb snack mix because it reminds me of the chex mix I often make with my kids.

The Nutrisystem Lunch: In my opinion, this is the weakness of the foods.  More of these taste bad than the other options.  There are just many soups and stroganoffs here, which we've already established that I don't like.  But, I do like the cheese tortellini, the chicken salad, and red beans and rice.  Most times, I will just order more of the dinners and go light on the lunches with my order.
