Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast Pasta Recipe (Review)

By ·

During the summer I tend to keep cooking to a minimum around here. We have, however, been super lucky with our weather being that it has been sooo rainy, overcast and quite chilly! Our summer has not even started yet and it is July now! I get irritated, but then I look at all you lovelies that live elsewhere in the country, and I think, maybe I should not complain about our weather after all. Those temps scare me!!!!

Anyways, getting back to the no cooking during the summer months…

I try to make things that are easy and require little or no cooking. Ya, I am a bit lazy during the Summer :) I have tried (many times mind you all..) Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast and it is a regular ingredient in my pastas, salads and other dishes. Why? Because it is already cooked/prepared and I can then just add it to my meals!! See, no cooking and a yummy meal is born :)

One dish that I ABSOLUTELY love (and yes, my mouth is watering as I type this) is my easy pasta dish. Oh my heavens is it GOOD. It is super easy to make and with the Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast, it is even EASIER to make!!!

The chicken breast is moist, delicious and seasoned just perfectly for me. The Grilled Chicken Breast is available four flavors: Original, Garlic and Herb, Italian and Lemon Pepper. We all prefer the garlic and herb, that way I don’t have to season it at all. Don’t get me wrong, we have tried and loved them all, but the garlic and herb wins in this home!

So back to my easy pasta dish!! I have included the recipe below:

Dreamfields Pasta Review

Dreamfields Pasta Review

On the news, you hear about obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and more, and it is on the rise! How can you take preventative measures to not let this happen to you, or someone you love? Well, I can tell you how you can start. We can take steps to living a happy, healthier life by choices. We can focus on eating better. I am sure you have all heard about “low carbs”. But it is hard to cut out all low carbs and still feel satisfied.

Dreamfields has developed the “healthy living” that allows you to make sensible choices about the foods that you do eat. You don’t have to sacrifice great taste in order to live a healthier lifestyle. Sounds good, huh? A big one for my family is pasta! Who does not love a good pasta meal? We do. Dreamfields Pasta is very tasty and no sacrificing of taste at all.

“Dreamfields took everything they knew about making pasta, which was a lot, given that their roots are deeply cultivated among the finest durum wheat growers in the world”

We received a box of the Dreamfields Pasta to review. What I did was I cooked up the pasta and added chicken breast with it. I cut up the chicken breast for the kids and I added a tiny amount of cream of chicken soup to the pasta to make it creamy. The kids ate this so quickly. They LOVED it and so did me and my husband. Doing simple things, like eating the Dreamfield Pasta, can help cut back on high cholesterol and other things that can harm you.

Buy It!

You can purchase the Dreamfields Pasta by purchasing it online on their site or on Amazon.com!

Ronzoni Smart Taste Review!

By ·

 

My kids do not like to eat healthy things, and finding the right meals for them is so irritating at times for me! It seems that no matter how much I try and how many different choices I make for them, none are good enough! Ugh! I know you all know what I am talking about, kids are PICKY eaters!!

 

I was excited to try out the new Ronzoni Smart Taste noodles. Ronzoni Smart Taste noodles is the first white pasta to be enriched with Fiber, Calcium and Vitamin D– and lots of it. And guess what? You can’t even taste the “healthy-ness” in these noodles! My kids gobbled them up like they do regular noodles and I was one happy Mama :)

A Bit About the New Ronzoni Smart Taste Noodles (taken from their site):

RONZONI SMART TASTE is an excellent source of Fiber and contains Calcium and Vitamin D equal to an eight-ounce glass of milk. Studies show that many diets are lacking in these three important nutrients. Plus, RONZONI SMART TASTE is lower in calories and fat than traditional pasta. That means RONZONI SMART TASTE is the same great taste — the smart taste –your family loves but with greater nutritional value.
