Bachelor on the Cheap

Bakesale is a premium dessert shop and bakery featuring classic favorites and unexpected treats.

Everyone Loves a Bakesale

What makes our dim reflections of bygone bake sales so appealing? They are shaped by dreams of possibilities. Because fashioned among the rustic tiles of grade-school gymnasiums, the promise of opportunity sprang up as self-proclaimed bakers sprawled their shrink-wrapped goodies across feeble card tables. And our ambitious optimism for rescuing a cause were dwarfed only by the assorted spread of handmade treats ready for bidding.

By treating you, Bakesale aspires to resurrect these nostalgic ideals of goodwill and service; baking and sharing; community and friendship. Because after all, we can bake this world a better place if we remember to treat each other right.

Crackers, they seem like such a simple food, but have you ever taken the time to read the ingredient label of some of the popular cracker brands?

Many of them are loaded with artificial ingredients, fats, and added sugars.  No wonder they're so tasty!  But I don't need Ammonium Bicarbonate, High Fructose Corn Syrup AND sugar, as well as partially hydrogenated oils (transfat) in my snacks.

Enter Simple Truth

If you're not familiar with Simple Truth, it's a Kroger brand featuring organic items and products with "cleaner" ingredients.  The brand is USDA organic certified and you'll find a range of products in the dairy, meat, snacks, and other aisles in a Kroger store.

With a healthier cracker in mind, I recently picked up a box of Simple Truth Fig & Thyme Crisp Crackers.  The combination of savory and sweet enticed me and in addition to the fig and thyme, the crackers also have flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, and millet baked into them.  Delivering a very satisfying cracker crunch, they're a bit thyme-forward on their own, but the herbal notes balance out nicely when the cracker is topped with a slice of cheese or a bit of fig jam.  Suggested cheeses to go with these crackers are goat, cheddar, and brie.

Available at Dillons for $4.49 for a 5.3-ounce box, I'm giving Simple Truth Fig & Thyme Crisp Crackers 4 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap stars.  They have a nice crunch with the sweet and savory flavor going on and will dress up any charcuterie board.  It's a nice change of pace cracker with a healthier nutritional profile and is worthy of a repeat buy.

Pouch foods, also known as meals ready to eat (MRE, a label borrowed from the military), became a staple for the U.S. military in 1981.  Survivalists and preppers soon started demanding commercial pouch food products and their convenience has attracted a much larger consumer base since.  As the commercial offerings of pouch foods improved in both quality and variety, so too has their popularity.  In addition to those survivalists and preppers, pouch foods are now in favor with resort campers, remote vacationers, and even business travel pros who pack a few meals in their luggage for when things don't go quite as planned. 

Heat-and-serve pouch foods are handy as heck, easily portable, take up less storage space than canned, plastic packaged, or boxed foods, and won't break, shatter, or spill if dropped.  Having a small portion of your pantry dedicated to pouch foods is something you may want to consider, even if just for the 'available in the event of an emergency' aspect of it.

Today I'm reviewing Market Street Classics Premium Chili with Beans.  Other Market Street options include beef stew and chunk chicken breast.

Featuring pinto and kidney beans, it is a bean-forward chili.  The portion of beef crumbles is less-than-generous and the gravy is rather bland, heavy on the tomato, but light on the spice.  The overall texture of the chili leans mushy, not unlike Hormel, perhaps the worst chili on the planet.  Thankful to have the availability of pouch foods in my pantry, especially in a food emergency, I still came away a bit disappointed in the taste, especially for a so-called 'premium' product.

Available on Amazon and eBay starting at about $6 a pouch and up (depending on the seller), I'm giving Market Street Classics Premium Chili with Beans 3 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap stars.  With two servings per 15-ounce pouch, it's a convenient product, but unfortunately not the tastiest and a bit pricey.  I need to explore other pouch food options before making this a repeat meal.
