Progresso Giveaway!

Update: Deb K won the giveaway! Congratulations, Deb! You will be contacted shortly regarding your prize package!

Progresso sent me me a product package and you could win one, too!
Here’s what I made.

Chicken breasts coated in milk, then pesto, and then Panko. Baked in the oven at 400 degrees.

It was so delicious! I really do like the Panko better than regular bread crumbs. Panko is bigger and crunchier than bread crumbs. Panko would make a terrific unfried chicken.

With the broth, I made Progresso’s White Turkey Chili. It was really good.

Ingredients
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 medium stalks celery, thinly sliced
(I added two cloves of minced garlic.)
4 Cups chopped or shredded cooked turkey
2 cans (11oz each) white shoepeg corn, undrained (I had a bag of frozen corn in the freezer. I used it instead.)
2 cans (15.5 oz each) great northern beans, drained (I soaked dried beans and put them in the slow cooker.)
1 can (4.5 oz) chopped green chiles (I used mild, but next time I’ll probably use hot.)
3 1/2 cups Progresso chicken broth (32 oz carton)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon red pepper sauce, if desired (I left this out.)
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (2 oz)
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (Didn’t have any so I left this out.)

Directions
1. In a 5-quart Dutch oven or saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and celery (I also added garlic.); cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients except cheese and parsley. Cover; cook 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated.
3. To serve, ladle chili into bowls. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley. (I garnished with red pepper flakes.)

To enter to win, leave a comment on this post saying what you’d like to make with the broth or Panko. A winner will be selected at random. The giveaway will close Thursday, November 19 at 9 PM central time.

Disclosure: As I mentioned, Progresso, through MyBlogSpark, sent me the products pictured above hoping that I would write a review.

P.S. I’m sorry the photos in this post are so bad. My camera is acting weird and I had to use my husband’s IPhone to take pictures.

I Got a Job

Young Wife — Tue, 26 May 2009 18:23:16 +0000

I got a job! I’m really excited. I wasn’t actively seeking employment. In fact, I had told David that if I went back to work, someone would just have to call me and say, “Hey, I know this person that needs part time administrative help.”

Well, guess what? That’s exactly what happened. I went for an interview this morning and they offered me a position. I start on Monday. It’s part time, so I’ll still be able to go with David to all his appointments. I’ll still have time to argue with the insurance company. The hours are such that I’ll miss traffic. This job is exactly what I wanted. God is so good!

Oh, and if you need a laugh, let me tell you what happened to my middle brother last night.

My middle brother, aka "Chick Magnet"

One of his friends wrote “chick magnet” on his truck windows last night. Funny, right?

Well, they also left two live, as in clucking, chickens in his truck bed.

How do kids come up with this stuff? And what is my brother going to do with them? I asked my mother if her city allows you to keep livestock, and she said no, so they won’t be keeping them for eggs.

Could somebody leave Humira on my car tonight? It would be really funny. Ha, ha. Please?
