LITTLE ROCK — Spotted: New flavors by some of our go-to grocery brands.
Lean Cuisine Spinach, Artichoke & Chicken Panini (310 calories, 9 fat grams per sandwich): The latest lively LC panini features every ingredient in the name plus tomatoes, garlic, cheese and parmesan sauce on Italian bread that crisps in the microwave. It almost makes us forget we’re dining at our desk.
Baked Lay’s Parmesan and Tuscan Herb Potato Crisps (120 calories, 3 fatgrams per ounce): We found the texture of these potato crisps puny and the flavor too herby, to the point of musty. And yet we still couldn’t stop eating them.
Jell-O Mousse Temptations Chocolate Mint Sensation (60 calories, 3 fat grams per container): Like a whip of Girl Scout Thin Mints that’s available any time of year.
