Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Featuring Barilla® Pronto

Love pasta but tired of boiling big pots of water and draining? Barilla® Pronto is the answer to your kitchen prayers. Only 10 minutes to perfect pasta!

I love pasta, but have always hated having to boil big pots of water–which seem to take forever to boil–and draining it after it’s cooked. Not only is it time consuming, but I have additional dishes to wash.

Big Taste in Little Time

Another thing I also love easy no-fuss meals. Even more so that I’m older and don’t feel much like fussing over a meal. So in my home, something that’s simple, fast and cooks in one pot is a dream come true.

Barilla® Pronto makes one-skillet meals easy. It cooks in one pot, requires no draining, and it’s a delicious addition to any skillet dinner. And it’s all done in 10 minutes; nothing can be easier.

Two Varieties of Barilla® Pronto

Including pasta in skillet meals is a nutritious way to extend leftovers to feed the entire family. Most of us are budget conscious and consider this a boon to our food budgets.

Few Ingredients, Big Taste

This delicious chicken alfredo uses Barilla® Pronto linguine. It only uses one boneless chicken breast and includes broccoli to make it a complete meal. By making the chicken a condiment, it’s an economical and complete nutritious meal.

Barilla Pronto Is Easy To Cook-One Pot, 10 Minutes

Brilla® Pronto is available at ShopRite, which is where I bought it on my last shopping trip. And for a limited time and while supplies last, you can buy any four (4) boxes for $5! That’s just $1.25 per box, but hurry because this in-store offer ends 5/16/15. There’s no coupon necessary.

Night In Italy Pizza Party: Friends, Fun and Tony’s Pizza

Great tasting Tony’s Pizza

Let Tony’s Pizza cater your next fun-filled party! Great authentic pizzeria taste without the work so you can spend more fun time with guests.

It’s been a long, hard winter here in the northeast. Finally we are beginning to see spring and it’s time to celebrate.

And to me, nothing says “celebration” more than a casual and fun party with friends and neighbors!

When you want to enjoy your party as much as your guests do, what could be more perfect than someone else doing the cooking and all the prep work?

Well, Tony’s Pizza has done all the work for you! Just pop it in the oven and 20 minutes later, volia! Delicious pizzeria-style pizza for your hungry friends.

That’s exactly what I did for a party I gave this weekend. We celebrated one friend’s birthday and two other friends’ 30th wedding anniversary.

To make this dual celebration extra special, I themed it around Italy and the colors of the Italian flag. What could be better for a pizza party?

Tablescape for party

I’d shopped earlier in the week at my local Walmart and took advantage of a really good coupon offer for 75 cents off 2 Tony’s pizzas. Grab your coupon HERE while supplies last.

Great selection at Walmart

The majority of us are from New York City, so we know good pizza. Everyone agreed that Tony’s Pizza came pretty close to real pizzeria pizza, and one of the younger guests said the Tony’s Pizza pepperoni variety was really great!

Amy really liked the taste of this pizza

And when New Yorkers tell you a frozen pizza is GOOD–you sit up and take notice.

We had the cheese, meat trio and pepperoni varieties of Tony’s. There was plenty of meat and pepperoni on those and enough cheese to satisfy.

Linda sampling the cheese variety

The cheese variety had more cheese than I’d ever seen on any frozen pizza. I usually add more, but didn’t have to here. The crust was also crispy and tasty too, not soggy. We all were very impressed.

Jimmy Dean Meat Lover’s Breakfast Bowls–A quick, tasty and easy breakfast

Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Let Jimmy Dean’s Meat Lover’s Breakfast Bowls make your breakfasts easy, delicious and fun!

For years, nutrition experts have been pounding into the public the importance of eating breakfast. But the with the hurry-up lives we lead today, sometimes this can be difficult.

Jimmy Dean has come to the rescue! No excuse not to eat breakfast now!

I particularly like the Jimmy Dean Meat Lover’s breakfast bowls because they are so versatile. You can just microwave them and in less than 5 minutes, voila! A delicious breakfast!

Jimmy Dean Meat Lover’s Breakfast Bowl

I’m widowed and live alone. I’m also busy with my home business, so I really take advantage of products that save me time that I don’t have to prepare them. I often make myself one of the breakfast burritos. I lost count how many times I’m sitting at the computer working, typing with one hand and a Jimmy Dean filled burrito in the other hand!

But here comes the versatility of these Breakfast Bowls–you can create other fun ways to use them to make breakfast or brunch a little more interesting!

If you’re running late, make a grab-and-go breakfast burrito. Just heat a Jimmy Dean Meat Lover’s Breakfast Bowl and roll it up in a flour tortilla!

Just look at this delicious filling–could anything be easier? The kiddos will love this one Mom and Dad.

Kids of all ages will go for this!

Now if you want to get a little more fancy, say for a Sunday morning late breakfast or brunch, you can turn this into a tasty breakfast boat. The addition of custard made with some eggs and milk and some green onion added turns what’s already good into something spectacular. There’s a minimum of clean up too since the Jimmy Dean folks have done most of the preparation for you.

Delicious Breakfast Boats

A full line of the Jimmy Dean Redbox Breakfasts are available, often in a big, well-stocked display case in your local Walmart store.

Make sure to visit the Jimmy Dean Website to see the full line of products available and some great recipes. Don’t forget to follow them on Facebook and Twitter too!

And here’s my recipe for those GREAT Breakfast Bowl Boats.

Jimmy Dean Meat Lover’s Breakfast Bowl Boats

1 box Jimmy Dean Meat Lover’s Breakfast bowl
1 large egg
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 tbs water
2 green onions, sliced & divided
2 steak, club or hoagie rolls

Puncture film on Jimmy Dean Meat Lover’s Breakfast Bowl . Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute. Let stand 2 minutes. Remove film.

In a small bowl, beat the egg, evaporated milk and water. Add 1/2 of the green onion and the contents of the Breakfast Bowl. Stir until combined.

Slit the top of each roll leaving about 1/2-inch on each end uncut. Remove inside bread making the roll a shell. Break up the removed bread into small pieces. Add to the Breakfast Bowl mixture.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Divide the Breakfast Bowl mixture between the 2 rolls. Place on a microwave-safe dish and microwave on HIGH for 1-2 minutes or until filling is just set.

Place on a baking sheet and bake 5-10 minutes to crisp the roll. Garnish with remaining green onion.

Serves 2
