Quick Takes

By LINDA COLE
Published November 8, 2006

A roundup of new products already on the shelves or headed for grocery stores:

Pizza bread

Garlic Bread Pizza is the newest offering from DiGiorno. The garlic crust is available on three pizzas: four cheese, pepperoni and supreme. Suggested price is $5.99.

Quick pierogies

Mrs. T’s Quick Ones Heat and Eat Pierogies are an ideal complement to any weeknight dinner or a good option for a light meal or snack. The microwavable pierogies are packaged in a disposable dish to make cleanup easy. Find them in the frozen food aisle at a suggested retail price of $2.69 per 8.13-ounce box.

Sea salt and soup

Campbell’s offers a dizzying array of low, reduced and lower-sodium soups this fall. The new versions of some top-selling condensed soups have 25 percent less sodium; some Campbell’s Select soups have up to 45 percent less sodium.

Sea salt, more lightly used, is the key.

Iron Chef America

Flay/Batali vs. De Laurentiis/Ray

Talk about a throwdown. Rachael Ray and Giada De Laurentiis face off against chefs Mario Batali and Bobby Flay in a Kitchen Stadium battle royale. Will the 30-minute queen and Hollywood princess-turned-caterer be able to top the hot-shot restaurateurs? One thing is for sure: The women have better smiles. 9 p.m. Sunday on Food Network (repeats several times; go to www.foodnetwork.com for schedule).
