Ham, Gruyere cheese, caramelized onions... what's not to like? This is a great, lighter alternative to pizza, and I'll definitely be buying it again.

If you're looking for a quick lunch, this is a good option. The package includes directions for cooking in the microwave or cooking with boiling water. I chose the microwave option, but found that the noodles were nowhere near cooked at the end of the cooking time. I ended up pouring the bowl into a pot and cooking it on the stove until the noodles were done (about another 4 minutes).

The finished product ends up being sweet and salty and garlicky, but definitely not as overwhelmingly salty as a typical ramen noodle soup. There was actual flavor to this, whereas every ramen noodle soup I've had has just tasted like salt.

The full bowl has 260 calories, 4 grams of fat, and 1340 milligrams of sodium -- that's 56% of the RDA right there -- so it's still plenty salt-laden. At $0.99 per bowl, this is a great bargain, and a nice step up from other dried soup mixes.

These are possibly the best cheese puffs I've ever had. Cheesy without being too powdery, and not salty or greasy. Personally, I can't stop eating them.

These are $1.19 for a 7 oz bag (7 servings). Each serving has 140 calories, 5 grams of fat, and 150 mg of sodium.
