You use to be able to get small bags for 100 calories at Loblaws but right now you can only buy the big bags. The chips themselves are just as delicious!!
There is no wheat, gluten, egg, milk, soy, making them great for allergies. Pizza taste-- a bit like Pringles Pizza. Crispy and crunchy texture. There is a bit of a kettle chip texture where it seems like they are fried. You canm really taste the pizza spices as you eat the chips; garlic, parsley, onion powder, tomato powder. These are great as an alternative if you are craving chips or a salty snack.

A bag of these is 100 calories. You use to be able to purchase a small size bag for $1 at Independant, but now you can only buy the larger bags. These are lentil chips with seasoning. They are gluten free, dairy free, egg free and nut free. These are also vegan.
These Plentils have a nice crunch to them and they are also crispy. They have a texture very similar to kettle cooked potato chips such as Miss Vicki’s. These taste similar to sour cream and onion chips and would be a great alternative. You taste the onion powder, saltiness and also a mild creaminess to these. The flavor is a bit milder than sour cream and onion chips but it becomes stronger as you eat. There is a good spice mix on these chips. When you open the bag you get a nice smell that reminds me of sour cream and onion chips. There are several flavor options in this line and they are plant based chips

My sister purchased a package of these from Winners for $5. You can eat 12 of these meringue cookies for 80 calories. These are fat free and you can find them in an assortment of flavors. These have the familiar texture of a meringue which is made of primarily sugar and egg whites. These are crunchy on the outside but when you take a bite they are somewhat powdery and hollow on the inside. They almost melt in your mouth. These can be messy so eat them over a dish and powder and crumbs can go everywhere. The green tea taste really comes through and makes this flavor less sweet than some of the other flavors such as strawberry. It tastes like fresh, high-quality green tea was used. If you love green tea, this is a dessert for you! Tastes like loose-leaf green tea was seeped and then put into the batter of these meringues.. -

I purchased a package of these from Winners for $5. There was a sale. You can eat 12 of these meringue cookies for 80 calories. These are fat free and you can find them in an assortment of flavors. These are the texture of a normal meringue which is made of primarily sugar and egg whites. They are stiff and crunchy on the outside and when you take a bite they are somewhat powdery but also melt in your mouth. You get an even mix of strawberry and chocolate cookies. You can taste the sugar in these as they are super sweet, especially the strawberry ones. The strawberry cookies have a very sweet flavor and the strawberry flavor only comes out mildly the more you eat them. There is an artificial strawberry flavor that is very mild. The chocolate meringue cookies are better and less sweet. The cocoa eliminates the overly sweet flavor. You can really taste the cocoa and chocolate flavor in these. These are a great treat and I really enjoyed the texture. I would buy them again and would love to try other flavors. These melt as you bite into them. First time having meringue cookies and was surprised at how sweet the strawberry ones are. -

I purchased these at Rexall for $2 on sale. These were on sale after the summer - around September/October. The regular price was $4. You get a good size bag that has over 4 portions in it. You can have 3 cones for 100 calories. The cones look like mini ice cream cones. There is a small cone at the bottom and the marshmallow is round at the top which looks like ice cream. There are sprinkles on the marshmallow - either pink, yellow or white. The number of pink, yellow or white ice cream cones is different per bag. The marshmallow is even inside the ice cream cone so you get a lot of marshmallow. The sugar sprinkles on top add a nice crunch and a minor sweetness. Marshmallow is not too sweet. The marshmallow is dense and thick and sticky. I love the texture of the fluffy and dense marshmallow with the light and crispy cone. The cone tastes like a regular ice cream cone (not the sugar cones). The cone has a very mild flavor. Good amount of marshmallow to cone ratio. This is one of my favorite marshmallows because it is so unique in it’s texture and flavor. It has a more rich flavor and a bit more sweet than regular marshmallows. These are not available year round - more around summer. These are peanut free. -

There are 205 calories per ¼ of the cake, and 9% calcium . I personally like to split this cake in 3 for a more fair-sized portion. I purchased this from a local supermarket for $3.25.
The cake base is a vanilla pound cake. There is a nice natural vanilla flavor throughout. The cake has a soft texture, sort of like there is pudding adding to mix. This cake is a consistency that is between a dense pound cake and a light, airy cake. Slightly dense but also light and fluffy.
There are candied fruit spread throughout the cake which add a sweetness as well as crunch to the soft and moist texture of the cake base. If you microwave for 30 seconds, this cake tastes like you bought it fresh from a bakery.

I purchased this cake from a local grocery Middle Eastern store for $3.99. You get a good size loaf that is great to eat as a snack or serve to guests. You can cut this in 3 or 4 larger pieces or get 5 or 6 smaller pieces. This cake would be great with tea or coffee in the morning. There is a delicious and rich chocolate flavour in every bite. The outside of the cake has a bit of a crunchier texture and then the inside is moist, soft and rich. The chocolate flavor is prominent. The cake has a nice sweetness to it but it is not too sweet. There is a mild bitterness to the chocolate because of the high-quality cocoa. There are loads of chocolate chips throughout the cake which add a nice crunch and a different variation of sweetness. I ate some of this cake at room temperature and some straight from the microwave (heated for about 15-20 seconds). This cake was dense and delicious both way! When you warm it, the chocolate chips melt and you get ooey gooey goodness all throughout the cake. -
The Bakery Fruit Cake with Almond Icing

I am a big fan of fruit cake, not not the dark kind. I find the dark fruit cake is too dry and not sweet enough. This fruitcake, however, is perfect. The consistency of the cake itself is dense and it has a nice sweetness to it. I love the candied cherries and fruits within. They add a nice crunch and a unique flavour that reminds me of the holidays. The marzipan icing at the top is my favorite part. It is sweet and has a strong almond flavour. The icing really adds to the overall fruitcake because it adds a new dimension. I purchased this at Walmart during the Christmas season for around $3. -

You can purchase these at Food Basics for $4 each package. You get 5 chicken cutlets in each package, a plastic bag with plum sauce and a package of sweet tarts. This package is 190 calories. There is 11 grams of protein in each package. This can be eaten cold or warmed. It tastes better warmed. The chicken is made of white meat and it has a light coating of breading on it. The breading is low quality and it does not have a lot of seasoning or flavor. There is a mild saltiness to the breading. The plum sauce is sweet and it tastes like regular plum sauce. The sweet tarts are delicious and you get that sweetness and a punch of sour when you eat them. -

I have been looking for a good cornbread for years! I use to buy cornbread loaves from Loblaws in the past but they stopped selling them. I like to make my own but sometimes when I am in a rush store-made cornbread has to do the trick. These mini loaves were great as a side to dinner for myself and my family. We heated ours for a few seconds until they were warm. The cornmeal taste comes through and you get that nice crunch from the cornmeal as well. The cornbread has a nice sweetness to it. This tastes like high-quality cornbread and it tastes freshly made when heated. It is dense but the inside also has pockets of air which are fluffy. I got a package of these for $1 at Giant Tiger. Each package comes with 4 mini cornbread loaves. -
