Creamer potatoes come ready to use, no washing or peeling required. They are naturally free of gluten, sodium, fat and cholesterol and only 20 calories apiece; great points value if you are on the WW program like I am. The Little Potato Company not only sells traditional potatoes in bag form, but microwavable entree-ish offerings that are inclusive of seasoning packs. My favorite is the Garlic Parsley offering, which comes in BPA-free packaging and usually includes 20-25 potatoes per package. If seeking recipes related to healthy eating, The Little Potato Company’s website has plenty of those available at no charge.

Whether served as the centerpiece for a Sunday or holiday dinner, or sliced for sandwiches, this turkey ought to impress. And in case the source of the turkey was of concern, D’Artagnan’s turkeys are raised on small family farms committed to sustainable animal husbandry without the use of antibiotics or hormones. For Thanksgiving next year, if hosting, I am going with a D’Artagnan turkey.

Made with simple gluten-free ingredients, and offering a number of plant-based options spanning pasta, rice and microwaveable cups, Veggiecraft Farms delivers the perfect balance of “really good” and “really good for you.” In other words, great offerings to have on-hand in case you are looking to reduce your “bad carbs” while still having some carb-related cravings.

Litehouse is a leader in refrigerated salad dressings, dips, sauces, cheese and other innovative consumer packaged goods. I had the pleasure of trying out its Freeze Dried Garlic, Freeze Dried Basil and Guacamole Herb Blend, and insist that the hype is to be believed. In turn, I look forward to trying out some of Litehouse’s other products, the cheese offerings especially, in the near-future. Litehouse is proud to be 100 percent employee-owned — following its family-owned restaurants roots — and each one of the employee owners delivers on high standards of quality and innovation.

With 6 percent ABV, this canned beverage comes in 4 distinct flavors based on fan-favorite cocktails: Gin & Tonic, Paloma, Mojito, and Moscow Mule. SESH was created by co-founders Zeke Bronfman — who I interviewed earlier in the year for The Hype — and Nate Medow as an answer to problems they identified in the alcohol industry, namely how Medow sought healthier alternatives as a type 1 diabetic unable to consume most alcoholic beverages. In turn, he and Bronfman, who comes from a long line of spirits pioneers, scoped out a solution that wouldn’t compromise between taste and quality. Great stuff.

Daring makes chicken-esque products that are billed as “the opposite of chicken,” and they are all high in protein, non-GMO and low-calorie. My favorite of their offerings is the Original Breaded Pieces product, which is a suitable chicken tender alternative. 3 pouches of the 8-ounce size of the Original Breaded Pieces are currently selling for $29.99 via the Daring website, giving you plenty of servings for the price of just 1 restaurant chicken dinner for 2.
