Nothing Half-Baked About It!

My final review for Healthy Choice includes two Baked Entrees.  I chose the Chicken Enchilada Bake to satisfy my desire for Mexican cuisine and the Four Cheese Ziti Marinara simply because I love Italian food.  Since I couldn’t decide, I ate them both.  Neither disappointed.

We’ll start with the Chicken Enchilada, because that’s the one I ate first.  I have to admit, it has just been recently that I have introduced black beans into my diet.  They are definitely an acquired taste.  I have always been a fan of rice, corn, queso, and especially cilantro.  Healthy Choice has combined all of these flavors with a chicken enchilada to make another delicious, healthy, low calorie meal.  The rice stayed tender, and the corn and beans crisp.  Even the enchilada shell was nice texture, which surprised me for microwaveable food.  I also found there was a good ratio of rice and veggies to enchilada and sauce.  The portion looked a bit small, however, it was filling enough and perfectly suitable for a light lunch, at least for me.  It includes just enough spice to know you’re eating a Mexican specialty.  A fiesta for your taste buds!  This was quick, (only 4 minutes) easy, and tasty.  Thumbs up.

Also thumbs up, is the Four Cheese Ziti Marinara.  Healthy Choice has perfected microwave cooking of ziti pasta.  A perfect al dente cooked for 4 minutes and it would have passed the Italian “throw it at the wall until it sticks” test.  Even Mama would approve of the fresh, classic marinara sauce.  Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, and Mozzarella were also perfecto, but personally, I would have added more Mozzarella and less of the stronger flavored cheeses.  After microwaving this entrée, and giving it a stir, I had pasta with sauce portioned adequately for a nice lunch.  Add a salad and call it dinner.  The kitchen aroma would have indicated I had been cooking sugo all day.  Incidentally, Healthy Choice Four Cheese Ziti Marinara was preferred over other brands in a national taste test. 

There are 8 more baked-from-the-oven tasting entrees waiting for me.  I will probably have to try them all before I pick an absolute favorite.  Overall, the Healthy Choice Greek Frozen Yogurts (chocolate and raspberry) are ranked high on my thumbs up list and I will be purchasing them again in the near future.  The Healthy Choice Café Steamers are next, followed by the Baked Entrees. 

I have really enjoyed tasting and reviewing these Healthy Choice Entrees and am thankful for the opportunity.  I am impressed with the organization of the Vibrant Influencer Network Healthy Choice campaign, and hope to be doing more.  Come back and visit often to learn about new products and read my reviews.
