Keep it simple – consider a new twist on old favorites, like a cheddar grilled cheese with thin slices of apple, or grilled mozzarella cheese with raspberry preserves – yum! Pasta has so much potential, and recipes are somewhat flexible – frozen or packaged tortellini is boiled, then sautéed with lemon and broccoli or peas – easy! Try (1 bag) frozen PICS ravioli boiled with (1 bag) of fresh or PICS frozen spinach. Drain, reserving one cup of pasta water. Mix a (6 Oz.) jar of pesto with the pasta water, then add to hot pasta and spinach. Top with some fresh grated parmigiana, and that one pot meal is a done deal!
Eggs are eggsciting – especially when you pair them up with tomatoes and chickpeas, like this Price Chopper Spicy Peppers and Chickpeas, a crock pot time saver. The eggs are poached in the chopped tomatoes and spices, and the chickpeas ramp up the protein and texture. Dip slices of a fresh Bakery Vienna baguette in the tomato and egg combo, and watch it all disappear! Savory quiche is another eggscellent idea – quick and comforting. The base is the same for any variety – 4 eggs and 3/4 cup of milk, or 1 (12 OZ can) evaporated milk whisked together with veggies, cheese, leftovers, favorite seasonings – quiche is a great way to max flavor and stretch budgets! Make it fun with a container of fresh zucchini noodles, a 15 Oz. can (drained) of PICS Italian Diced tomatoes, and 1 cup of your favorite PICS shredded cheese. Breakfast for dinner is another opportunity for fresh fun – how about pancakes or waffles with chopped fresh or frozen fruit and whipped cream! You will put smiles on everyone’s faces – keep this one in your back pocket for rainy days.
