Soy food products\u2014simple to make and tasty to eat.\u00a0 Yet, I am always surprised that so many people haven\u2019t had them yet.\u00a0 I love the burgers and the crumbles.\u00a0 The chicken patties are good, as are their entrees.\u00a0 I have served these products at home long before they became \u201ctrendy.\u201d I\u2019m talking about Boca products.\u00a0 I started with Boca burgers, and these come in many flavor varieties.\u00a0 I branched out into the crumbles as a quick alternative to hamburger.\u00a0 I do not have anything against hamburger\u2014in fact it\u2019s probably my favorite food next to chocolate!\u00a0 \u00a0It\u2019s so simple to open up a bag of soy crumbles and add them to lasagna or spaghetti sauce.\u00a0 Voila!\u00a0 Dinner is served quickly!<\/p>\n

Soy has been recognized by the FDA as a heart healthy food that may lower bad cholesterol and reduce the chances of heart disease.\u00a0 The recommendations are 25 grams of soy a day.\u00a0 They have also done studies that show that many women reduce their menopause symptoms by consuming soy.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great source of protein, fiber, and nine essential amino acids.\u00a0 And it tastes great, too!<\/p>\n

So, what do I do with it?\u00a0 I add the soy sausage crumbles to a jar of spaghetti sauce.\u00a0 I add the regular crumbles when I make lasagna.\u00a0 I love the burgers on the grill in the summer or in a pan in the winter (since my grill is still covered with two feet of snow!).\u00a0 I like the chicken patties on a bun.\u00a0 I make a casserole with soy crumbles instead of ground round from Hunts, and my husband thinks it\u2019s great!\u00a0 My family loves Boca products also.\u00a0 My children have eaten soy \"blog<\/a>products since they were two\u2014and really like them.<\/p>\n

The nice part about these products right now, is that I have learned that they are VERY low in Weight Watchers <\/a>points!\u00a0\u00a0 Their original burgers are only 1 point!\u00a0\u00a0 That\u2019s very low for a burger product.\u00a0 So, if you are watching your weight, try adding one meal with soy in it a week.\u00a0 I think you\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised!\u00a0 If you’re still keeping track\u2014I am down 42 pounds.\u00a0 That\u2019s the weight of my 5 year old!\u00a0 I challenge you to keep your New Year\u2019s resolutions\u2014you\u2019ll feel better.\u00a0 It\u2019s never too late to start.\u00a0\u00a0 Boca has a wonderful web site with great recipes<\/a>.\u00a0 Check it out for\u00a0more ideas.<\/p>\n
