New from Pepperidge Farm

If you have preschool kids, you no doubt have Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers in your pantry. If your child has eaten way too many of the cheddar variety or if you would like to change things up a bit, they have recently come out with Vanilla Goldfish Grahams, which  are made with whole grains and real vanilla. They don't have artificial preservatives and less than 10% of a serving’s calories are from saturated fat.

What did we think? My son, who loves graham crackers, really liked them. I thought they weren't overly sweet (a good thing) and they were nice and crunchy. We're all about crunchy snacks! Of course the small goldfish-shaped graham crackers are easy to throw in a container and take along or put in our favorite snack cup (the Munchie Mug).

So there's a new snack for the kids, but what about us moms?

Pepperidge Farm has a treat for us too!

The Pepperidge Farm Homestyle Cookies collection are relative lower in calories than some of the other cookies on the market. Two new (crispy Oatmeal and Lemon) and three improved (buttery Shortbread, simple Sugar and crunchy Gingerman) varieties have only 160 calories or less per serving. I know!

The company sent me the Lemon and Shortbread cookies, which I did not share with the family. The Shortbread cookies has a classic flavor, not overly sweet. They are great with a cup of coffee or tea. I really, really, really liked the Lemon cookies. The lemon wasn't overpowering, but they were definitely flavorful.

I sometimes reach for Pepperidge Farm cookies when I want to satisfy my sweet tooth (Milano's are my kryptonite!) and I will be adding these to my rotation.
