I really like the plain Nutlettes, but mainly for their health-appeal and
their crunch! They don't taste like much, so I always add them-1/4 cup-(I
believe 1/2 cup is the recommended serving size, but that's too much for me)
to my breakfast cereal. I love couscous and that's what I have for breakfast
many mornings. Really easy, really quick and yummy. This is my "recipe".
To a bowl add:
1 cup frozen berries (raspberries and blueberries are my favourite) or other
fruit.
1/3 cup whole wheat or regular couscous
1/4 cup Nutlettes
2/3 cup boiling water
Let stand for about 3 to 5 minutes.
1 cup of your favourite soy milk/rice milk/whatever poured over.
Enjoy!
I have tried several of the Dixie Diners Club meatloaf packages and a
peppersteak and potatoes casserole, and the low-fat cranberry muffin mix. In
a word-Yuck. They smelled great and looked great, but they had very little
flavour (the peppersteak casserole), or an
overpowering, almost bitter flavour in the meatloaf. The TVP was also quite
glutinous. The muffins were rubbery (which could have been my cooking
techniques!),but I make my own low-fat cranberry muffins and they come out
not rubbery.
On the other hand the Soya King regular flavour Soy Chips were better than
advertised-they were great:) as was the dried vegetable snack mix (I cannot
think of its name-but you eat it like popcorn)my kids (16,19, 21 yrs)just
LOVED it. We've been through 2 big pkgs of that already.
And the "jerky" was a huge success-very tasty, nice texture.
We also like the breakfast shakes in Lemon and Vanilla. (don't know about
the chocolate-we have't tried it).
Well that's more than what you asked for, but hope it helped.
