Whipped Sweet Potatoes with Cheese
They say: A favorite that is great any time. You'll love the tasty combination in this healthy, "good carb" lunchtime entree.
I say: I was very leery about trying this. Living in the south I know sweet potatoes. And I'm sorry to say this just doesn't cut the mustard. There's no need to put cheese in sweet potatoes. It's too bland and I seriously doubt any die hard potato lover will be satisfied.

Strawberry Low Fat Yogurt
They say: This yogurt for the person on the go has a rich, creamy texture and real strawberries to make it great.
I say: I'm still not big on the idea of powdered yogurt with the glut of yogurt found on just about every street corner. Plus it's not filling. But this was much MUCH better than the Blueberry Low Fat Yogurt. It could also be that I made it better. I used 2/3's water, still too soupy, and I let it sit in the fridge for 4 hours. It was quite tangy. I also liked the chunks of strawberries.

I can even get low-fat yogurt with fresh fruit from McDonalds. But I digress. After mixing it and letting sit in the fridge for 2 hours, it came out soupy. The taste? Weird. The blue chunks of dehydrated blueberries? Not good. I tried to eat it all but halfway through it turned my stomach. Next to the Lemon Poppyseed Muffin the worst food item I've eaten.

Vegetarian Pasta Salad
They say: Red bell peppers, kidney beans, corn, black olives and Romano cheese make our vegetarian pasta salad hearty and healthy.
I say: Note to self, read the instructions on EVERYTHING. As I was getting my foods ready to pop in the microwave I skimmed the instructions to find: Serve Cold. I had no backup meals with me. What to do what to do? I was too hungry to attempt to force it cold by putting it in the freezer for an hour.
I decided to nuke it for about 1 minute. Not to make it hot, just to warm it up from room temperature. Besides it's beans, olives, corn and pasta. I've eaten those things warm before, I can do it again. So this is really a non-review. I ended up really liking it. But to be fair I'll need to re-review it cold.

I could have done without the flakes of broccoli and used the real thing, but that's just being nitpicky. It was creamy and cheesy. *drool*
