Pizza Roll Wars

This was previously posted on www.supernovamom.com

My son asked if we could try those popular pizza rolls you see in the freezer section, and of course they had artificial colors and transfats. So we tried a couple of the natural/organic versions and the vote was split.

I liked the taste of Health is Wealth Pizza Munchees, which have a whole wheat crust and fat-free soy cheese. The crust was slightly crunchy and it had a yummy pizza taste.

The kids, however, preferred Amy’s Kitchen Cheese Pizza Snacks, which has organic pizza sauce and reduced fat mozzarella cheese. I thought the crust was a little soft and chewy, but the filling flavors were more like the regular kind (which I have eaten in my youth).
