Campbell's Skillet Sauces make dinner easy!

Lately, my husband has been working really late every night. I usually try to make dinner so it's ready right when he gets home.  One day last week, he surprised me by coming home hours earlier than normal.  The only problem was that he was starving and I  hadn't even begun to start making dinner yet.  Earlier in the week I had received some of Campbell's Skillet Sauces so I decided to give them a shot! I had some chicken defrosted for my original dinner plans and we always have rice so I had everything I needed!


Campbell's Skillet Sauces come in six different varieties including:
~Creamy Chipotle with Roasted Corn & Black Beans 
~Marsala with Mushrooms & Garlic 
~Thai Green Curry with Lemongrass & Basil 
~Toasted Sesame with Garlic & Ginger 
~Fire Roasted Tomato with Red Bell Peppers & Chiles
~Scampi with White Wine & Garlic
We both really wanted rice so we chose to make the Creamy Chipotle with Roasted Corn & Black Beans.   Let me start off by saying that this is truly one of the easiest dinners I have ever made.  I have a rice cooker so as the rice cooked, I browned up some bite sized chicken pieces.   When the chicken is done, add in the skillet sauce and cook for five minutes.  I only used half the amount of chicken the package says to use because I am not a huge meat eater anymore.  I just poured the chicken and sauce over the cooked rice and dinner was done!  I have never made anything like this before and was a little nervous.  For some reason I always think of pre-made sauces as really salty.  The creamy chipotle was exactly as sounds, super creamy with a chipotle kick. Very tasty!  I thought that the rice to sauce ratio was perfect.  I would absolutely buy this again and am looking forward to trying the other kinds.  We are having the Toasted Sesame with Garlic & Ginger tonight!

Help our local clinic!



Help save our local animal clinic Catnip Acres!  They provide services to animals in our region!  The local area vets have filed complaints against them regardless of the help they are doing for our area furbabies!  Find out more information on Facebook.

All you have to do is sign the petition at: http://signon.org/sign/please-save-catnip-acres

Help Catnip Acres stay in Greene County!!
   A complaint was filed with Franklin Twp. Zoning Board, stating that Catnip Acres is in violation of zoning ordinances. November 27, 2012 at 5:30pm, a hearing will be held to determine if we can stay open. Catnip Acres has spayed and neutered over 10,000 cats in Greene County and there are many more that still need done. We are here to serve the pets of Greene County. We believe a show of concerned citizens showing up at the hearing will influence the decision. If anyone would like to speak on our behalf, please call Franklin Twp at 724-627-5473. If you are unable to attend the meeting please send a letter on our behalf to: Franklin Township, 569 Rolling Meadows Road, PO BOX 752, Waynesburg PA 15370. Thank you for all your support it means so much to all the cats we've helped and still need our help.
