Snacking, LHJ Style
Staff Snacking
Here in the LHJ offices, we are an army of snackers. My seat directly next to our communal snack basket confirms this – in the hours just before lunch and sometime after 3pm, when blood sugar levels begin to fall, LHJ staffers (see them in action, to the right) start wandering over to inspect the various bags, tins and boxes on offer. Between product samples, frequent test kitchen recipe results, and generous foodie staff members, we’re lucky to have a pretty bottomless supply of treats.
Although folks around the office are flexible and gracious with regard to our snack situation, it’s not overly difficult to gauge the real winners – a select few snacks manage to cause a feeding frenzy of sorts, disappearing almost as quickly as they arrive. Over the last couple of weeks, the following treats have been some of our absolute favorites:
Amy’s Gluten Free Shortbread
During a recent snack tasting, these were a sleeper standout. LHJ Creative Director Jeffrey Saks and Editor-in-Chief Sally Lee remarked on the buttery goodness these gluten-free treats, made with a hefty dose of organic almond flour. One (or three!) of these would be the perfect mate to a cup of tea. Use Amy’s online store-finder to find cookies at a grocery store near you.


Your Comments
It's so rare for me to find a new favorite food. I am such a creature of habit that I rarely try anything different or exotic. A few weeks ago I had a hankering for chili. But to be perfectly honest, none of the typical vegetarian chilis were doing anything for me. I usually had to doctor them with salt and cayenne just to have a little bit of flavor. But then I found Amy's Organic Spicy Chili. I'm a sucker for anything red and I was really drawn to the deep red colors on the can. As I cooked it that evening I had all of my standards out on the counter--cayenne pepper, salt, cheese--ready to liven up the flavor. But after testing a spoonful I realized it needed nothing. This chili is PERFECT just the way it comes. And, honestly, that's just not something you find very often. Bottom line; I have found a new favorite food; one that's actually good for me to eat. I look forward to the cold rainy San Francisco winter now that I have something rich and hearty to keep me warm!
