Food Should Taste Good Too - I wish I had thought of using that as a name for a product I made, but I did not. It is a chip/cracker that is healthy and low fat and made with whole grains. They come in many flavors including sweet potato and jalapeno. You should definitely try them. I hope My StrollerFit moms enjoy my suggestions.
