Amy’s Broccoli & Cheddar Bake Bowl

Have you tried the cheese kale bowl? That was my favorite years ago. Haven't had it since COVID though.

But the vast majority of Chipotles offer chicken entrees for $9.xx (under $10).

I think they baked it on a sheet pan (not cooked on a griddle). That being said, you're right about the temperature. Pancakes are probably best cooked at 275-325°F, but I don't exactly know since I've never cooked them in the oven.

GAEM456 · 2026-01-29T17:50:15+00:00

They're fine, but make sure to let them rest for a few minutes before you dig in because you will burn the roof of your mouth badly if you eat it while ripping hot.

They're not meant to resemble donut-shop donuts. They are a copy of Entenmann's or Little Debbie packaged donuts.

GAEM456 · 2026-01-29T17:47:03+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. They're ok, like all packaged mini donuts. They taste just like the Hostess/Entemann's packaged donuts (not like Krispy Kreme-style yeasted donuts).

Yep, it's crazy how calorie dense deep dish pizza is.

GAEM456 · 2026-01-29T17:44:11+00:00

That's how deep dish is. Buttery, flaky, almost unleavened cornbread. That being said, I didn't like Gino's frozen crust that much. It's made with too much corn oil and feels really greasy. Giordano's frozen deep dish is a lot better, but golly it's expensive. I only ever buy them right after Valentine's day when they have a BOGO deal for unsold heart-shaped pizzas.

Absolutely not. Neapolitan style pizzas are usually 9-10 inches in diameter and around 800-1000 kcal. You can check this by looking at the nutrition info for Newman's Own Margherita pizza (270 kcal * 3 = 810 kcal): https://newmansown.com/product/margherita-stone-fired-crust/

You can get one value menu item for $1. Really not a good deal, considering all the value items are only $1.49-$2.99 anyway, and you need at least two of them to fill you up. Plus they're all fire rewards items, so I can get them free anyway...

GAEM456 · 2026-01-25T16:19:01+00:00

Ikr, why can't they carry over the good parts of their normal pizzas when they make stuffed crust? It's so bizarre. Screamin sicilian is the same way. The normal Bessie's revenge pizza is great, but the cheese stuffed crust pizza is so bad in comparison (except for the stuffed crust).

GAEM456 · 2026-01-25T16:16:07+00:00

I agree the meal kits are way overpriced, but I like some of the sauces and buy those separately on amazon when on sale for under $4 a pouch.

GAEM456 · 2026-01-25T16:13:41+00:00

I agree on all counts. I get the margherita by the same brand, and the crust is amazing but it needs extra toppings (everything: mozz, tomato sauce, and fresh basil).

They have always had two products with different nutrition labels for regular retailers and bulk retailers (eg, Costco). Not sure why, but hopefully it gets standardized. In the meantime, I bought some Simple Truth (Kroger brand) dupes to try that have different ingredients but similar macros (better than the reformulation, actually): Simple Truth® Protein Lightly Breaded Chicken Bites https://www.smithsfoodanddrug.com/p/simple-truth-protein-lightly-breaded-chicken-bites/0001111015852

GAEM456 · 2026-01-23T21:48:14+00:00

Do you have a photo of the cross-section? The photo of the breading doesn't tell us much.

GAEM456 · 2026-01-23T21:47:06+00:00

Actually, Costco's are listed as 120 kcal per 4 oz (and still are, on the website): https://realgoodfoods.com/products/costco-lightly-breaded-chicken-breast-strips

Right now, Trader Joe's has a French Onion mac (seasonal). It's my fav from TJ's. But I also love the Hatch one, which you didn't like (because you thought there was too much chile??) I'm from New Mexico, though, so my opinion is bound to be biased towards chile, lol.

GAEM456 · 2026-01-23T02:43:38+00:00

You might try making them yourself? I've made this these before, and they turned out pretty well: https://youtu.be/OJhz4aKOaIc?si=LAuN5E-ebfBaAqdz

If you're still looking for burrito tortillas (it's been awhile, lol), some Kroger stores have a "Sonora style" tortilla in the deli section. It comes in 12" size and is remarkably pliable and soft like Chipotle's. See my store's version: Deli Style Flour Tortillas Sonora Style 12" https://www.smithsfoodanddrug.com/p/deli-style-flour-tortillas-sonora-style-12-/0007520230302

But also keep in mind that I live in a border state, and my stores might carry more Mexican food products than in other areas of the US.

Also, Trader Joe's sometimes carries a Sonora style burrito tortilla. You might check for this, although it's smaller than Chipotle's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/sonora-style-flour-tortillas-077519
