A Second Chance

As AllStars Brand Ambassadors, we are lucky enough to be asked to try out different products and give our opinions on them.  This month it is Al Fresco Chicken Sausage.  And Oh boy does that make me happy.  When we were first asked to try these products back in April, I was very sceptical as I could not envision how chicken sausage could take the place of pork.  I was proved very wrong and I am happy to say that we have been converted.  We use this product regularly in our house now.  I just wish that we could get the full product line, not just a few of the sausage flavors.  Here is what I made with the sausages this time around.

This is  the Garlic Chicken Sausage Vegetable Saute.  We really liked this except that we thought it would have benefited greatly from having a sauce.  I did have some left over spaghetti sauce in the fridge so I heated that up and for us, it seemed to improve the dish.

The second dish that I made was this

This is the Roasted Garlic Chicken Caesar Salad.  YUMMMM.  This was a great recipe and turning my favorite salad into a dinner meal by adding this sausage is a great idea. 
 I for one can't wait until we get some different flavors of this product in our stores.  Try it I think that you will like it.

A little help in the Kitchen

Part of our assignment this month for the Brand Ambassador program was to make recipes using Progresso Recipe Starters.  This is a new product of sauces to help us put dinner on the table with a minimum of time spent in the kitchen.  I decided to make Progresso Easy Chicken Cacciatore because it is one of my hubby's favorite meals. Here is a photo

To make this I used the Progresso Recipe Starters Fire Roasted Tomato Sauce.  Hubby loved it.

The next recipe that I tried was Progresso Curry Chicken.  For this one I used Progresso Recipe Starters Creamy Roasted Garlic with Chicken Stock.

This one was not quite so successful.  I think that it definitely needed more spices than just curry powder, maybe some garam masala  would have rounded out the flavors.

Well back to the kitchen to try out some more flavors of this new sauce.  I still have Creamy Three Cheese, Creamy Portabella Mushroom, and Creamy Parmesan Basil to try.  I'll let you know how they turn out.
