Amy's Takes You Around the World!

If you love to travel but don't have time nor resources to do so, let Amy's take you around the globe, at least with food. You know how it's possible? They have a lot of food options from different parts of the world from Thailand, India, Mexico and different states of the US!

Amy's have a wide range of products and I chose to get some family size meals so my loved ones can try them too. They have at least six family size meals to choose from and I get to try three. The instructions said to cut open the plastic cover, but my box has somehow been pre-thawed because it took me 4 hours to go home after getting it from the store. LOL! So I decided to put it in the microwave for only 10 minutes (instead of the original 17 minutes) and it was ready by then.

 

That was the first time I tried Mexican Casserole and I thought it was good! The corn and the beans did not sag after I put them in the microwave. The corn specifically was tasty on it's own and still crunchy. It was like a delicious home-cooked meal prepared only with organic ingredients.

I love curries but I haven't tasted the Thai version. When I saw this flavor, I took it without second thoughts! I was so excited to serve it for dinner yesterday. I used the microwave for the Mexican Casserole so I thought of using the conventional oven for this one. It was rather long because you have to bake it at 375F.

Amy's Thai Red Curry

Well, what can I say, I definitely love the tofu. I read they make their own so it's definitely made from natural and organic ingredients too! I'd say I prefer the curry I am used to, I guess that the Indian recipe. My husband thought Amy's Thai Red Curry was good though.

I was not able to find a family size meal from other countries but I saw they have a lot more option with bowls which is good for one person. You'll see flavors from more countries in Asian, America, India, etc. :) Anyway, the third Amy's product I was able to try is Amy's Cheese Enchilada. It says it's made of organic corn and tomato, I can definitely see and taste the tomato but not the corn. The corn must have been mashed and to serve as a 'filling' together with the rest of the ingredients. The tomato tastes different though, it doesn't taste like the tomato sauces from cans nor boxes, it taste a lot more like real tomato! If you know what I mean. ;)

You can top it with fresh cheese of any flavor, I added some shredded jalapeno on mine. :)

As you can see in the box, they only showed two pieces of enchilada, so when I opened it, I was expecting like two huge pieces. LOL! Anyway, good thing they have like six smaller ones like about 5 or 6 inches each. Great for the whole family indeed!

My O Organics Salad!



I have found my new favorite pre-packed greens! I wasn't really a fan of salads until my husband's doctor said needed to lose weight. This 2014, I decided to include healthy options in my diet too!

When I bought these two 16 oz. salad, I thought they looked like the regular ones available at most grocery stores. But no, when I opened the package, on the expiration date itself, I found them still fresh-looking and crisp. They were like freshly-picked and I am serious about that! I never thought Safeway offers such high quality products. I have been buying spinach from another store and they easily sag, maybe because they were not packed right? Or there was too much moist in the plastic bag? Oh, now I don't really need to worry about it because I know now what to brand to get next time.

When I went to Safeway, they were offering at least three varieties but I got only 2 which were Fresh Herb Salad and Half & Half (Spring Mix and Baby Spinach). I never thought one package could take the whole space of my biggest bowl so I was only able to use one from the ingredients I took a picture of. Anyway, it was so delicious because it was packed with lots of fruits and nuts. Plus, my husband made a special sauce using white wine with lemon and some strawberry jam.

Having tried and tested the O Organics salad, you think I would buy them again? Definitely! Since then I already bought the same brand of spinach and I really loved the quality.

DISCLAIMER

I was given the opportunity to review O Organics yogurts through Mom's Meet and since I have extra credit left on the gift card they gave, I bought some of their salad. I was not required to make a review and was not compensated for this post. Everything was based on my 100% honest opinion.



No Prep Packed Lunch for Work

If you are a working parent or even a single person but do not have time to prepare lunch everyday, this might be a good idea. A salad in a bowl complete with fork and dressing so you need not bring anything else. This is a healthier option and is organic too, no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers were used. I have tried other O Organics products and I should say they are of good quality plus the packaging looks nice too. It looks like one of the brands you can trust.

 

 

The Baby Spinach & Chicken Salad is just one of the many flavors (Chicken Caesar Salad, Cranberry Walnut and South Western) they have. I tried to eat it on the expiration date just to see if the ingredients are still okay. It indeed was. The spinach itself was still crispy and the other condiments tasted fresh. The chicken was soft but not saggy and it was cooked well and evenly. The dressing was of course sealed to maintain it's freshness.

No mess lunch!

 

 Looks as good as it taste.

Organic doesn't really mean expensive. A bowl is regularly sold at $4.99 each but I saw this on sale for $3.99 at Safeway. I took advantage because I thought it was a great deal. And I was not mistaken. My husband loved it too and he said he'd gladly bring it to work.
