Menu Plan Monday 4-25-11

April 25, 2011 By Elizabeth

Yesterday was the first Easter in a long time that I didn't fix the traditional ham dinner. We had been to a Memorial service for Chris' Grandma on Saturday and there was a ton of food left over. So, we had leftover fried chicken, lasagna and caesar salad for Easter dinner! Thanks to my friend Eliza mentioning it on Facebook, I discovered the site Give Every Night New Flavor, which looks to be a collaboration between ConAgra Foods and participating grocery store chains. I picked Kroger because it's the only one on the list we have here in Lansing, and used the recipe search to come up with a few ideas for meals this week. I searched for Italian recipes that take 30 minutes or more and serve 4 or more and found a Baked Ziti that only calls for 5 ingredients - my kind of recipe! Here's everything I'm making this week: Baked Ziti Casserole with steamed broccoli and garlic toast Betty Crocker Chile-Chicken Enchiladas with rice, chips and salsa Manwich Sloppy Joes, with … [Read more...]

TABASCO Original Red – What Do You Use It On?

February 1, 2011 By Elizabeth

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine. TABASCO® Original Red sauce has been a staple in my kitchen pantry for decades. I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of spicy food in general, but my husband LOVES Tabasco. He puts it on tacos, pizza, and even adds more of it to hot wings! Tabasco is made with just three simple ingredients - salt, red pepper and vinegar - that are aged for three years to produce a hot sauce that actually enhances the flavor of food. If you're having a Super Bowl party, check out Tabasco's Game-Day Party Menu where you'll find recipes for pizza, wings, 35 different kinds of chili, dips, and finger foods like this twist on classic Chex Mix. Hot & Spicy Party Mix 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 to 3 teaspoons Original TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce 1 1/4 teaspoons seasoned salt 8 cups of your favorite Chex® brand cereals (corn, … [Read more...]

Back to School Recipes from Mission Flour Tortillas

August 19, 2010 By Elizabeth

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Mission Foods. All opinions are 100% mine. I'm totally lazy when it comes to summertime meals, but especially so with breakfast and lunch. I let my two oldest kids make up their own meals from what's available in the kitchen, and usually can get one of them to make something for their sister, too. But now with the school year approaching, I once again need to put on my chef hat and start making meal plans that include easy, budget-friendly breakfasts and lunches. No more deciding to eat breakfast at 10:00 in the morning! This Spark from SocialSpark has info for Table for Five readers about Mission Flour Tortillas, and the many meals and snacks that can be made with them. I don't know what it is about a tortilla, but somehow, the "same old" turkey, cheese, and lettuce sandwich suddenly tastes brand new if it's rolled up in a tortilla! Mission Flour Tortillas have 0 grams of Trans Fat (the bad kind) per serving, and no … [Read more...]
