Review: Grace Island Baked Cheese Crisps by Amy Dungan

When I first heard about this tasty sounding new product called Grace Island Baked Cheese Crisps, I’ll admit to having high hopes. Having lived through the whole “low-carb craze” era, where every manufacturer and his dog were pushing their products as low-carb, I’ll also admit to being skeptical. Many of those products were not truly low-carb, and some of them were down right nasty tasting. (Nasty as in maybe a dog really did come up with the product.)

With these conflicting emotions fighting for precious, but rare, real estate in my brain, I took a bite of the Baby Swiss flavor. I immediately sold all remaining land to Hope and gave Skepticism it’s eviction papers.

I. Am. In. Love.

Not only do these awesome little crisps taste great, but they are also all natural. Grace Island’s Baked Cheese Crisps are gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free, sugar-free, corn-free and contain no MSG. Does it get any better than that? To quote Kalista Johnston, owner of Grace Island Specialty Foods Inc. and creator of the snack, “The really exciting thing about my crisps is that they are not the usual low-carb new product ‘frankenfood’. They are just plain old fresh, wholesome ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen right now…”

Kalista being a low-carber herself, she knows just what we are looking for. With this in mind she created a product that is healthy, packaged for portion control and easy to take along anywhere – no cooler required! Let me also add that these little bites of heaven are filling and available in 4 great flavors: Romano & Black Peppercorn; Parmesan & Italian Herb; Baby Swiss and Asagio. One serving carried me over for quite a long time.
