Product Reviews

This week will be about product reviews. I apologize for not getting my blog out on Monday. This week, I will review a couple of GF items.

The first being, as shown on my website www.4theglutenfreefamily.com, Kinnikinnick Foods Tapioca Rice Hamburger Buns.

Looking at the package, they look good. The calorie count is 230 for each bun. Don't know how I feel about that just yet. Took it out at the last minute to defrost. Well, it was too late, so I put it in the toaster oven. Thawed it out enough to slice open. At first glance they look like a biscuit. Who's complaining there?! Nicely browned on top too. Got it thawed out and ate it with a hamburger. It wasn't crumbly like most of the GF breads I have tried. It got crumbly towards the end, but bigger chunks. The consistency is light and airy, not dense at all. There is a nice flavor, not sweet like some other breads. I think they are worth the price....a good substitute for wheat buns!

 

The next item is Al Fresco Chicken Sausage with roasted red pepper and asiago. I saw these in the store and I had to have them! They are fully cooked, which is nice. I grilled them. Taking them out of the package, they are nice and firm with a nice casing on them. I overcooked them a little, which means they burst, but that was ok. They didn't lose a lot of juices. I also made sidedishes of steamed broccoli and baked potatoes. Time for dinner, we sat down and started to taste them. At first bite, it reminded me of andouille sausage. The skin is tough, so I ended up cutting the rest off. Didn't taste much of the red peppers or the asiago because the spices were a little overwhelming. My daughter did not like it because they were a little spicy. All in all, it is a good sausage if you would like something quick and easy.

 

Happy Eating Everyone!
