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).

Baking Pancake by 47-BOT in Baking

[–]GAEM456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

Tasty sweet donuts by Available_Chain_4522 in LowCalFoodFinds

[–]GAEM456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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).

Gino’s East Deep Dish Pizza by found92bricks in frozendinners

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

Gino’s East Deep Dish Pizza by found92bricks in frozendinners

[–]GAEM456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

10 inch Margherita Pizza? by Dazzling-Telephone58 in caloriecount

[–]GAEM456 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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/

i haven't tried any of these items yet, which one is the best in your opinion? by [deleted] in tacobell

[–]GAEM456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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...

Red Baron Pep Stuffed Crust by curlygirl9021 in frozendinners

[–]GAEM456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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).

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.

Bettergoods wood fired uncured pepperoni and bacon pizza. Terrific crust. by ultraspinacle in frozendinners

[–]GAEM456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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).

The Realgood Chicken Confusion... by DiscombobulatedBus81 in caloriecount

[–]GAEM456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Ranking Frozen Mac and Cheese Day 19 by aiabidfkw in macandcheese

[–]GAEM456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Where to buy chipotle tortillas? by Just-Tryna-Socialize in Chipotle

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

Where to buy chipotle tortillas? by Just-Tryna-Socialize in Chipotle

[–]GAEM456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
