As a mother of three children under the age of 5, it’s hard at times for me to eat right. I usually make my kids something to eat, and by the time i sit down everyone is done eating, so i grab something quick and usually unhealthy.

Atkins is making it possible to eat healthy, with their cruise line of meals. They are even adding two new products All purpose baking mix and penne pasta come packed with fiber, and fit perfectly into a low carb lifestyle. Plus, they make cooking and baking easy. And, when you try them with one of Atkins’ cool recipes like Penne with Fresh Tomatoes, Lemon and Feta or Rich Chocolate Brownies, you won’t feel the slightest bit guilty about indulging.

Eat your favorite foods without compromising your diet. Atkins Penne Pasta. Incredible taste, half the carbs and ready for your favorite sauce in minutes. Who’s hungry?

I was sent both the all purpose baking mix and penne pasta to try out

The Atkins all purpose baking mix can be used for all you baking needs. Pancakes, muffins, breads, and more.  With a low carb formula you can enjoy your baked goods with only 150 calories and 5 net carbs.

The Atkins penne is made with semolina wheat and contains 140 calories per serving and 19 net carbs.

I made pancakes with the flour and just penne with spaghetti sauce. my kids are so picky, i just made it easy. You can check out www.atkins.com for great recipes.

To celebrate the launch of these new products, Atkins has announced an online recipe contest where you can share your own recipe featuring the All Purpose Baking Mix or Penne Pasta and win great prizes.   Recipes can be submitted Atkins by September 30, 2009.
