Healthier' Pizzas
Swapping In Wheat Crust
By
Joseph De Avila
Amy's frozen pizza was outstanding. The pesto and tomato sauce combination was a nice change from standard pizza sauce. We could only faintly taste the wheat in the crust. The pies are fairly small; there are only three servings per pie. We had to fight off urges to eat the entire pizza in one sitting.

We
taste-tested dozen of frozen pizzas-these top scoring pies really deliver:
Best Crust
Amy's Kitchen 3 Cheese Pizza with Cornmeal
Crust
Freezers aren't always kind to pizza crust--many we tasted were too
doughy, too dense or too limp. But judges loved this unique recipe,
noting the "great cornmeal texture." Cheese lovers will like
this one, too--it's topped with mozzarella, parmesan and goat cheese,
plus chopped tomatoes.

Amy's Multi-Grain Hot Cereal Bowl
We typically don't do backflips over hot cereal, because we usually
don't find the portion sizes satisfying enough. However, we were more
than pleasantly surprised when we tried this new b-fast bowl from Amy's.
The cereal is REALLY delicious (we added some sugar-free maple syrup
to it, to make it even yummier!), and the portion size was pretty big
-- definitely satisfying enough for breakfast. Whoever is in charge
of 
development over at Amy's has some ROCKIN' tastebuds, because all
of the products that come out of that kitchen taste SO good . This
bowl is a GREAT way to get a hot breakfast in at home -- or at the
office. And the nutritionals are right on target, too (4g fiber!).
Two yums up!!! BTW, Amy's breakfast bowls also come in Cream of Rice,
Rolled Oats, and Steel-Cut Oats (we've tried 'em all, but this is our
fave!). Look for them in the freezer aisle.
Overall Score: 9. Actually backflip-worthy.

Amy’s Kitchen - Roasted Vegetable Pizza
OK,
the Fancy Food Show hasn’t started yet, but I want to post about
our new favorite pizza - the Roasted Vegetable Pizza from Amy’s
Kitchen. No cheese on top of this one, but topped with shiitake mushrooms,
roasted red peppers, sweet onions, and marinated artichoke hearts.
And I think it’s the artichoke hearts that really put this one
over the top for me. I wish we had a bigger freezer to hold more of
these.

What's in Elizabeth Hasselbeck's shopping
cart?
This
bubbly co-host of The View is an avid label reader, but she's
not simply scoping out fat grams and calories. "Last year I learned
that I had celiac disease, an autoimmune condition that leaves me unable
to digest gluten, a protein found in a lot of grains," says Hasselbeck,
who's expecting her second child this month. "Shopping is more of
a challenge these days, but I can still find delicious food."
She never has to worry about there being gluten in fruits and vegetables,
including her current favorite, green grapes. "As a kid, I loved the red ones from
my grandmother's vine," she says. "Now I prefer green because they're
more refreshing and tart."
Hasselbeck's
top protein sources–eggs, chicken, and turkey–are
also naturally gluten-free. In addition she relies on the
following speciality products: Amy's Bowls ($4; at all
supermarkets), Think Thin Bars ($2), and Pacific Organic
Free Range Chicken Broth ($3).

Amy's Organic Chunky Tomato Bisque
Soup
As
organic products continue to become more and more popular with today’s
American shopper, companies like Amy’s are keeping up with the
trend. Not only is this tasty soup USDA certified organic, but you
also notice that where soups tend to be high in sodium, this one contains
about half that of most brands. (Amy’s tomato soup contains 340mg
of sodium per serving, other supermarket brands can contain as much
as 760mg per serving.) You won’t have to worry about this soup
containing high fructose corn syrup, MSG, or any other unnatural ingredients.
You’ll have to pay about a dollar more than you’re used
to paying for tomato soup, but the nutritional benefits are worth the
higher price! Retails for about $2.89.

Amy's Texas Burger
We
spend so much time RAVING about Amy's soups and various and sundry
frozen entrees and snacks, that we sometimes forget they have a whole
line of veggie burgers. So to get reacquainted with them, we ran out
and bought a box of Texas Burgers and got busy with our grill pan.
Let's start out by saying that pretty much EVERYTHING Amy's puts out
is effortlessly delicious. SOMEONE over at that company has EXCELLENT
taste buds (and coming from us, that's a huge compliment). It's as
if they make all their foods taste good without even trying (not sure
if that makes 
sense
or not, but it's truly how we feel). These burgers are certainly no
exception. Described as "barbecue flavor", these patties
are sweet, smoky, and even a little nutty (they contain walnuts). All
we can say is MMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!! WOW... this burger has quickly
become our current veggie patty fave. If you haven't tried these and
you're a fan of veggie patties, grab a box of these things ASAP. (BTW,
we've found that Whole Foods typically has the best selection.) You'll
thank us.

Tomato Sauce!
Store-bough tomato sauce in a jar helps make a quick meal. It's also a good source of vitamins C and A and the cancer-fighting antioxidant lycopene. We sampled 64 organic and natural varieties- and found these four to be the tastiest. -S.A.
Amy's Kitchen Puttanesca
A vegetarian take on the traditional puttanesca recipe, this sauce is
filled with veggies liek zucchini, carrots, and caramelized onions
– and doesn't contain anchovies. Slow-cooked tomatoes and balsamic
vinegar give the sauce its dark-red color.

WHAT'S NEW
SHOPPING CART: Kid-friendly meals,
bars and snacks
Sure, homemade food is always best, but once in a while parents need something ultra-quick to feed their children, especially in the busy back-to-school weeks.
Most frozen meals for kids are pretty scary, with ingredient lists that read like the Yellow Pages. That's why the new Kids Meals from Amy's in Petaluma are nice to have around in an emergency.
Two noodle dishes - macaroni and cheese and baked ziti - come with focaccia, broccoli and a fruit dessert. The ziti meal is gluten- and dairy-free. Kids might not love the foccacia, which is a little chewy, but they should enjoy the noodles. And there's nothing mysterious on the ingredient list, which includes organic pasta, vegetables and fruit.
Amy's Kids Meals are $2.99-$4.49 at natural foods stores like Berkeley Bowl, Apple Market in Novato, and many Whole Foods markets.

The Nourishers
The Berliner's presciently realized that even crunchy vegetarians
can't always get to the farmers' market and prepare a home-cooked meal.
For that reason, their company, founded in 1987 and named for their
daughter born to them that year, has become America's largest maker
of natural and organic frozen foods.
