Libby’s Back To The Table

Written by Lisa on September 17, 2008 – 1:12 pm -

I’m lucky that my kids are still little, so they have no choice that we have family dinners almost every night.  However, I know many families that family dinners have fallen to the wayside to the activities of their children.  I love that Libby’s has teamed to together with Sara Evans to get families to eat together again in a program called Get Back To The Table.  This site is awesome to help you get your family back into doing family dinners.

Don’t know what to make for supper tonight (This is me every night - lol)?  Libby’s has a CANvenient Recipe Database you can check out and find some great dinner recipes.  There are also coupons, mealtime strategies, the 5 reasons you should be having dinner together tonight, and even a Q&A with Sara Evans.  Did you know that between her and her husband they have nine kids!!!

Make sure you also check out the Get Back To The Table site also because they are running an awesome contest.  You can win dinner backstage with Sara Evans!  All you need to do is tell them how you get your family around the kitchen table!  (And if you have some good tips and hints, make sure you let me know too!)

Chicken Enchilada Tart

Written by Lisa on August 19, 2008 – 12:50 am -

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 cup frozen corn
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked and cubed (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded colby monterey jack cheese
1 can enchilada sauce
1 can Pillsbury refrigerated pizza crust

Heat over to 400 degrees F. Spray 15×10x1 inch pan (I used a cookie sheet) with cooking spray.

In a skillet, heat vegetable oil. Add in the onion and cook 2-3 minutes. Add the corn and cook 3-4 minutes. Stir in chicken and remove from heat. Stir in the sour cream and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Let this cool for about 5 minutes.

Unroll the pizza crust dough into the pan. Starting at the center, press dough into a 10 inch square. Spread about 2 tbsp of the enchilada sauce over the dough. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the sauce to within 2 inches of the edge. Then drizzle about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce over the chicken mixture and sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese. Fold the edges of dough up over the filling and round the corners.

Bake about 20 - 25 minutes or until the crust is brown and filling is bubbly (I slightly overcooked mine — Even I mess up these easy to cook recipes sometimes! LOL) Let the tart stand for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining enchilada sauce.

To serve, top tart with chopped Roma tomatoes and shredded lettuce. Cut into wedges and serve with the warmed up enchilada sauce.

EnviroKidz cereals

Written by Lisa on June 2, 2008 – 3:57 pm -

This site is all about easy cooking and what’s more easy than putting some cereal in a bowl and adding milk? Nothing, I tell you. Madison and I recently tried out the new EnviroKidz cereals, and I have to say I am impressed. Being lactose intolerant, it takes a lot to impress me with cereal too, since I am pretty much am stuck eating it dry (yes, I know there is soy milk, but I really don’t like it and the Lactaid pills are super expensive).

The two cereals we tried were the Leapin’ Lemurs and the Penguin Puffs. I’ve got one word for you: Yummy. The Leapin’ Lemurs are peanut butter and chocolate balls and the Penguin Puffs are a crunchy blend of kamut, quinoa and corn. They both are low fat, gluten free, whole grain, and low sodium. Did I mention organic too? This means no synthetic pesticides, no synthetic herbicides, no artificial preservatives or additives, and no irradiation. I love that not only is the front cover of this box just awesome to look at, there is a lesson on the back of the box. I learned that Lemur’s mostly live in Madagascar and they have lost over 80% of their living area to deforestation. They also are being hunted for food and to be people’s pets. You have to love a good learning lesson at breakfast. Another reason to get this cereal is that 1% of their sales is donated to endangered species, habitat conservation, and environmental education for children. It is amazing how together we can all make a difference.

Madison finished off the box of Penguin Puffs in two days. She ate it for breakfast and as a snack. The only reason we even have any of the Leapin’ Lemurs left is because I hide the box from her after breakfast. I even have to admit, I walked around snacking on this too, because it is really that good (I’m eating some as I write this review). Now, I am not a mom who “has” to buy organic for her kids. However, after eating this cereal, I might start doing so. Its good to know that it can taste good and be good for you also.

Now, I can’t keep all this yummy goodness to myself, so I have arranged so two lucky winners can also try this awesome organic cereal! Each winner will receive a box of Leapin’ Lemurs and and Penguin Puffs too! This is only available to the US. Now, here’s all you have to do:

1. Leave a comment on this post. I want to know why you would like to try this or tell me something about any of the other products Nature’s Path makes and looks interesting to you. One comment only please and let me know everything you did for your entries in that comment.
2. Blog about this giveaway linking to this page or my home page.
3. Stumble this post. If you don’t know what Stumble Upon is, please read Lori’s post at Blogging Cents. She explains it extremely well.
4. Subscribe to this blog using either my email or RSS feed.

I am going to run this contest until June 13th at 8:00 pm and will use Random.org to pick the winner. Good luck!
