Baguette Chips instead of Potato Chips


I love to snack. When I am working or watching a movie I immediately want to munch on something. I never buy chips because I could sit and eat the whole bag. Since I don’t care for the that much it is a waste of fat and calories. I could eat a pint of ice cream or sorbet if I allowed myself. I am quite certain I do not have to tell you the danger in that. So, I look for healthy snacks. But chewing up carrots, as good as they are for you, are not always what I am craving. Sometimes I want something herby or savory without eating high fat or carbs.

A solution is a new product by Pillsbury called Baguette Chips. The Baguette Chips come in two savory flavors; Italian Cheese and Herb and Cheddar Sun Dried Tomato. I had the opportunity to try both through my association with My Blog Spark. The Baguette Chips arrived today so me and my family tried both kinds. We loved both! I honestly cannot decide which I liked better. My younger girls loved the Italian Cheese and Herb better. We had grilled steak for dinner with salad. I decided to throw the Baguette Chips in the salad instead of croutons. It was delicious. I imagine they would be great in soup, as the site says, but it is much too hot to try that now.

Let’s talk calories and fat. Regular potato chips have 11 grams of fat pr serving. The Baguette Chips have 5 grams of fat per the same serving size as the potato chips. You can eat 21 oven baked chips at 130 calories. The gourmet flavor will have you enjoying every last bite of those 21 chips. It has a crunch and a flavor to make it your go to low fat snack.
