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
Thank you, thank you for creating a wonderful veggie burger! Our family (husband, myself and 5 young children) have given up dairy and are in the process of becoming vegetarian. My husband said he likes meat and wouldn't give it up...but after one taste of the Texas veggie burger and breakfast/black bean burritos, he is open to having meatless meals now! This is very important as he has high cholesterol and triglycerides...also, his fit-looking, active 63 year-old father just had a 5-way bi-pass last November. Our kids like to call veggie burgers "krabby patties" (minus the cheese) like SpongeBob, the cartoon character, orders at the "Krusty Krab" on the TV show. All five kids ages 18 months to 11 years-old like the taste of Amy's Texas Veggie Burger. We wish they came in bulk at Costco so we could serve them at BBQs this summer. Boca burgers from Costco contain dairy and aren't tasty.
Thanks again! Kim Currier
