Love Hungry Girl? Eat Kosher? We're Here to Help!

Welcome!

Like you, we love Hungry Girl! Her amazing recommendations have help us find favorite foods over and over again. But, we often have to go product and hashgacha hunting after reading her rave reviews!

As long as we are doing the research, we wanted to share it with you. On this site you will find frequent posts that let you know which HG recommended products are kosher.

Please share information with us and we will post it here. Know about a product that will soon become kosher? Let us know. Know why a company bothered with a hashgacha, let us know!

Special - and Kosher - K

We have to admit, we were disappointed with HG's review about the Walden Farms peanut butter. But, when we got to the end of today's newsletter, we were thrilled to see she gave the new Special K cinnamon pecan cereal an 8.5! That's a rating we can get on board with, and since we're always looking to mix things up with our morning cereal, we were thrilled to learn that this product is K-Pareve according to the Rabbinical Council of New England.  Betayavon!

Peanut Butter Thursday

We don't know about you,  but we were thrilled this morning when our HG newsletter arrived heralding the new calorie free and sugar free Walden Farms creamy peanut butter spread! Unfortunately, the reviews weren't good, but since this KosherGal has got a serious hankering for peanut butter, I'm just going to have to test it out myself.  I can't wait to be able to enjoy a delicious peanut butter and jelly panini guilt free! And the best part is that this product is certified OU kosher! Enjoy!

Fiber Fabulous

Today's HG is all about being fiber fabulous! FiberGourmet's Short Cut  Fettucine is certified OU kosher! With 130 calories and 20 grams of fiber per serving,  the $22.50 for 10 packages is really worth it! Plus, it has a 2-year shelf life so this is one pasta you'll be putting away with your Chametz this Pesach! 

 

Krinkle Sticks

Did you see HG today?

Krinkle Sticks? Almost didn't check this one. We thought for sure they wouldn't be kosher but check out this cute response on their website!

Q: Are LesserEvil Krinkle Sticks kosher?
A: You betcha yarmakule! Our Classic SeaSalt, Old School Bar-B-Que, and Cajun KaBOOM! are all OU certified, and our SourCream & Onion is OU-D certified. Some of the other products from this company are not (yet) kosher so make sure you check labels.

Kosher Cocktails

Last week, HG came out with a holiday cocktail list for those of us who like to drink but are still watching our waistlines! She's a huge fan of the Torani sugar-free syrups that can be found in your supermarket and behind the counters of most Starbucks, so we're still trying to track down whose kosher certification appears on these bottles. As soon as we find out, we'll let you know!

In the meantime, since her recipe calls for vodka, the following imported vodka's are certified OU: Absolut, Binyamina, Canadian Iceberg, Carmel, Lavel, Grey Goose, Pravda, and Stolichnaya.



And, if you're curious about the kashrut of other alcohols, check out the Star-K's approved list.

Right here on HG's Top Ten List is one of her favorites... Unsweetened Almond Breeze - vanilla flavor. We love the sweetened version but she raves about this 40 calorie creamy stuff and we are pleased to tell you that the OU has given these blue boxes of "milk" their approval.

Cary's Sugar Free Maple Syrup!

We've had this one in our home for a while. Cary's sugar free syrup is kosher certified by the Orthodox Union... OU!

Vitamuffin

If you've ever read HG - you've heard about Vitamuffins. The good news is that they proudly display a chof-k on the packaging for their muffins. The vitatops actually have a different hashgacha - it is a large M with a small k above it - both in a box. We have inquired for more info but if anyone is familiar with this hashgacha - let us know!
