Today’s Menu: Newman’s Own Uncured Pepperoni Thin & Crispy Pizza

Another beautiful sunny Spring day! Mid 60’s today and the 70’s next week, finally! For dinner tonight I wanted something easy and light so I went with Newman’s Own Uncured Pepperoni Thin & Crispy Pizza. Everything is there you just pop it in the oven at 425 degrees for about 12 minutes and you have Pizza! It’s a Thin and Crispy Crust and the Pizza itself is well seasoned, a nice amount of toppings and fantastic flavor. Easy to make, a good Pizza, and a breeze to clean up. Plus it’s a Newman’s Own Product. Newman’s Own has donated Millions to Charity from the sale of their products. For dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn

Newman’s Own Company and Products
In 1982, Newman’s Own started as a tiny boutique operation – parchment labels on elegant wine bottles that Paul Newman filled with his homemade salad dressing and gave to his neighbors as holiday gifts. He expected train wrecks along the way and, instead, got one astonishment followed by another.

But in these thirty years we have earned over $350 million, all of which we’ve given to countless charities. How to account for this massive success? We haven’t the slightest idea but one thing we do know is we’re not stopping.

Today, Newman’s Own produces nearly 100 individual food products across 9 categories. Always great tasting, always all-natural, just the way our founder, Paul Newman, insisted. We’ll always follow his vision for putting quality first. The result: you end up with a pretty darn good meal.

http://www.newmansown.com/
This idea was in Paul Newman’s heart and, today, Newman’s Own continues his commitment to donate all profits from the sale of our food products to charity. That’s right, all of our after-tax profits are given to Newman’s Own Foundation and then dispensed to charities throughout the U.S. and around the globe. Over $350 million has been given to thousands of charities since 1982. To learn more about Newman’s Own Foundation and its grantees, visit NewmansOwnFoundation.org.

Today’s Menu: Baked Buffalo Chicken Breast Sandwich w/ Baked Potato
Come on Spring time give us a break! It was sunny all day but a very cold wind. If the forecast is correct we are supposed to set a record low temperature for in the morning. Come on Summer Breeze! For dinner I prepared one of my favorites anymore; Baked Buffalo Chicken Breast Sandwich w/ Baked Potato.

To prepare my Chicken I needed 2 (4 ounce) Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, 6 Tablespoons favorite Wing Sauce (I used Kroger Wing Sauce), and 1/2 Cup Litehouse Lite Bleu Cheese Dressing/Dip, and Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Buns . To start I Preheated the oven to 400°F. Then Sprayed large non-stick skillet and 8×8″ baking dish with Pam cooking spray. Added the chicken to skillet & cooked 4-5 minutes each side until browned. Placed the chicken in dish and poured Wing Sauce over chicken and baked (uncovered) 20 minutes. I served it on an Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bun and topped it with some Litehouse Light Bleu Chesse Dressing. I made 2 Chicken Breasts 1 for dinner and 1 for lunch tomorrow.

To go with the Baked Buffalo Chicken Breasts I had a Baked Potato topped with Newman’s Own pineapple Salsa. I love this Newman’s Own Salsas. They have 3 or 4 varieties and their all fantastic. This Pineapple Salsa goes great over Baked Potatoes, Pork Chops, and Fish. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Newman’s Own Pineapple Salsa

Wow I tried Newman’s Own Pineapple Salsa for the first time and I’m going to have to make room for another Salsa! My favorite is still Newman’s Own Black Bean and Corn Salsa but the Pineapple is awfully close! It’s a completely different Salsa than the Black Bean and Corn. It’s got a little heat from the Jalapenos and then you have the sweetness from the Pineapple, it ends up a perfect match for a Salsa. This would go good over your Eggs at Breakfast or at dinner for a topping for your Baked Potato. I’ll be adding this to the Pantry Stock for sure.

Today’s Menu: Chicken Florentine & Farfalle Complete Skillet Meal w/ Garlic Knot Bread

For the second time I’m going with Newman’s Own Chicken Florentine & Farfalle Complete Skillet Meal. I came across this at Meijer a while back and I’ve tried a couple of the dinners now. It has 370 calories and 42 carbs, which isn’t bad considering it’s a complete meal. It comes frozen and contains “Freshly made Pasta and White Chicken Meat in a Parmesan and Romano Cheese Sauce.”

You want an easy and delicious Chicken Florentine meal, you have to try this! The only problem is it’s a 2 serving meal and if your just preparing for yourself it’s tough not to eat both servings! I really enjoyed this. The Pasta, Chicken and Sauce are perfect together. The only things I added was a bit of Sea Salt and a sprinkle of Kraft Shredded Parm Cheese. I baked a side of Walmart Bakery’s Garlic Knot Bread. For dessert later i baked a pan of Betty Crocker Low Fat Fudge Brownies, I added walnuts to them to make them Walnut Fudge Brownies. I took a half serving slice of Brownies and topped it with a scoop of Breyer’s Carb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream for dessert later.
