Pasta Chips - Garlic Olive Oil Review

I got the change to try some of these Authentic Italian Pasta Chips because I received a full sized sample as a Kout Perk.  The flavor I tried was the Garlic Olive Oil flavor, which is the bag in the photo above.

These are baked PASTA chips.  Not POTATO.

They were very good.  I had eaten pretty much the whole bag full before I remembered that I should probably take a picture of it so I could do a review. 

There were only a handful of chips left, but very few of them were broken!  You know what its like to reach your hand into a nearly empty bag of chips.  Its just a bunch of greasy crumbs.

Well, these chips came from the bottom of the Pasta Chips bag, and just look at them.  Whole, and not greasy at all!  The chip with the little ding in the corner was the WORST one of the last of the bag.  (Not counting the ones I had eaten before taking this photo of course)


The Garlic and Olive oil was a light flavor.  You know garlic can be overwhelming, but this one was not.  It was perfect.  If you're not a fan of garlic, the Garlic and Olive Oil is only one of six different flavors, including Spicy Tomato Herb and the Spinach Broccoli Kale Veggie Pasta Chip!

And while I ate all of my chips dipless, the Pasta Chips website has loads of great recipes you can use to create great dips and MORE with these great chips!

And if the lack of grease and the great flavor isn't enough to sell you on these chips how about these little tidbits:
  1. Pasta Chips are Made in the USA.
  2. Pasta Chips are a NON-GMO Verified product. 
  3. Pasta Chips are Vegan!
  4. Pasta Chips have 20% less fat than the leading pita chip.
Then there is this cheeky promo video:




I hope I have convinced you that Authentic Italian Pasta Chips are worth a try!
Which one of their six flavors would you like to try?
If you HAVE tried them, how did you like them.

Remember to SHARE this with your chip loving friends so they can discover the great snack that is the Pasta Chip.

Easy Peach Cobbler Dump Cake


Easy Peach Cobbler


There are some people who can go into a kitchen with four ingredients and whip out a 12 course meal.  These people are the culinary equivalent of MacGyver.

I am here to tell you now that I am NOT that person.  When I go into a kitchen I'd much rather have a frozen dinner to stick in the microwave.  But sometimes I want something different, and that means cooking.

So, when I decided I wanted a peach cobbler I decided to try to find the easiest way to make it ever.  But it couldn't just be easy.  It had to be easy and taste good.

I found an easy peach cobbler, but its not exactly a peach cobbler. It is something even more amazing called a dump cake.  You take 4 ingredients and dump them together and something amazingly yummy comes out.

Below I'm going to walk you step by step through how to make this dreamy dessert.

Easy Peach Cobbler Dump Cake


INGREDIENTS

 1 box of yellow cake mix
2 cans of peaches
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
cinnamon (optional)

STEP 1

Preheat the oven to 350.


 While preheating open the cans of peaches and dump them, juice and all, into your 9x12 baking dish 
If you wish to cut the peaches into smaller size you can, but do not have to.

STEP 2

 
Open your yellow cake mix and dump it on top of your peaches.
DO NOT MIX.
It is important that the cake mix is on top, not mixed in with the peaches. 

PS: SAVE the box the cake mix came in!  We're gonna make something fun with that soon!

STEP 3


Cut your stick of butter into many, many pieces.
Scatter these pieces all over the top of your cake mix.
Get as much coverage as you can.

STEP 4


Sprinkle your brown sugar all over the top of everything.

I'll admit, I did not have half a cup of brown sugar in my house.  I used what I had, then added cinnamon.
Cinnamon is optional, but I WILL be using it ever time I make this.

STEP 5


Put your dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown.

The butter melts down into the cake mix, while the peach juice bubbles up into the cake mix.  The crust turns out crispy and buttery and sweet.

STEP 6


Serve and enjoy!

It was pretty amazing.  I will say it was VERY buttery and VERY sweet.  I loved that, but if you are on a diet and/or diabetic this might not be the best version of peach cobbler for you.
