These Are The 3 Best Things We Ate This Week

Listen folks, I’ll be the first to admit that as the summer has gone on, and the season has lost a little bit of its novelty, my energy has dipped. Naturally, that means I’ve started to look for little moments of convenience to make some of the daily monotony a little bit simpler and easier. But, that doesn’t mean we should have to sacrifice flavor and quality at meal times.

So, it only makes sense that automatically the best foods we ate this week were high quality convenience foods that have let us take some time to ourselves and rest amid the summer chaos.

Good Culture Cottage Cheese Organic 4% Pineapple

Even if you have low energy, sometimes you still have to get stuff done and be on the go. And, in order to still get some extra sleep, sometimes that means a full well-rounded breakfast is completely out of the question. Fortunately, these cottage cheese cups are enough to satiate you until you can get a proper meal.

They are full of protein and, unlike most cottage cheese varieties that I’ve encountered, this one is not soupy and it is dense with curds. Plus, this cup comes with a layer of textured pineapple jam at the bottom to really drive home those flavors of summer. My personal tip for these is to top it with a small pinch of salt and a couple cracks of black pepper to give it a sweet-savory balance. Since the cottage cheese itself is already a little bit salty, it lends itself naturally to leaning into that fruit and cheese flavor pairing. This iteration is just packed with way more protein and has a fresher taste.

Authentic Motor City Pizza Co Detroit-Style Deep Dish Pizza, Double Pepperoni, 2-count

These pizzas are Detroit-style and come in a pack of two. They are not only far more substantial than a typical pizza because of the thickness of the crust, but it really blends together the best of all the regional pizza varieties in the U.S. Where Chicago is deep dish, and New York has a thin slice with crispy cheese, this gives you crispy pepperoni with toasted cheese around the edges and a fluffy crust base. 

There’s also something distinctly nostalgic about a square-shaped pizza. And, while it might visually remind us of a school lunchroom, the flavor couldn’t be further from it. It’s like if a focaccia dough was turned into a perfect pizza casserole. Plus, this pizza really excels at not skimping out on the toppings. The two different varieties of pepperoni on it not only ensure even distribution, but every bite is loaded with high-quality pepperoni flavor. Follow the instructions on the package and you’re set up for a successfully elevated frozen pizza experience.

Tea Pigs Super Fruit Blend

Sometimes, the flavor of a hibiscus tea is distinctly underwhelming. But, Tea Pigs has always been an impressive company at executing the flavor that they’re marketing. So yes, while this has a hibiscus flavor and color, it is rich with the flavor of berries in every sip. It’s also naturally caffeine-free. So, if you are feeling like you needed some time to yourself at the end of a long day to unwind, you can enjoy these fresh summery flavors in the evening without worrying about it keeping you up all night.
