Cheryl – I will email you today to get your mailing information.

This giveaway is courtesy of myblogspark.com and Yoplait!

Myblogspark.com and Yoplait provided me with a coupon for a free package of Yoplait Frozen Smoothie.  I decided to try the Bluebery Pomegranate. I thought the taste was delicious!  Health-wise, my only concern is that they add sugar to the mix.  I think the fruit is sweet enough without that addition.

Each package of Yoplait Frozen Smoothies contains one full serving of fruit (1/2 cup) and 110 to 120 calories per serving. Not only does Yoplait yogurt contain live and active cultures, but when prepared with skim milk and made according to package directions, Yoplait Frozen Smoothies are a good source of calcium. So raise your smoothie glass and toast to a new you!

Found in the frozen fruit aisle of your local grocery store, Yoplait Frozen Smoothies come in four delicious flavors. Be sure to check out the newest flavor, Blueberry Pomegranate, along with other favorites like Triple Berry, Strawberry Banana, and Strawberry Mango Pineapple.

Don’t forget to visit Yoplait Frozen Smoothie on Facebook to download a great coupon! And follow Yoplait Frozen Smoothie on Twitter to keep up with their latest and greatest products!
 
Yoplait, through Myblogspark.com, is kind enough to provide one prize package to one of my readers!  The prize pack includes a VIP coupon to try Yoplait Frozen Smoothies, a drawstring backpack, a water bottle and a fitness journal.

My favorite is mashed potatoes with gravy. ljyoung85 at gmail.com

Giveaway courtesy of My Blog Spark and Progresso

Progresso sent me a box of their new Lemon Pepper Panko, and I decided to use it for pan-fried chicken.

I had 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts that I pound to an even thickness, then cut into about 3 pieces each.  I then dipped each piece into flour (seasoned with salt and pepper), a beaten egg, and then a mixture of about 3/4 c Panko, 1/4 c grated Parm, and a bit of cayenne pepper.

I heated about 2 T of oil in the skillet, then pan-fried the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through.  Typically when I do any type of “fried” food, I bake it.  But I have to say it is so much juicier and seems to retain so much for flavor when it’s cooked this way.  I love the flavor of the panko – it had just a hint of lemon, but it wasn’t overwhelming.  J is not a fan of lemon, but he liked this!

Now Progresso and My Blog Spark are allowing me to send one lucky reader a free box of Lemon Pepper Panko.  And that’s not all!  Included with the Panko, you will receive an autographed copy of Michael Chiarello’s new cookbook, Michael Chiarello’s Bottega.

In order to have a chance to win, leave a comment by Friday, November 12, 5:00pm EST, answering the following question:

What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish?

I love penne ala vodka! ljparent@gmail.com

This giveaway is made possible by Romano’s Macaroni Grill and myblogspark.com

Last night for dinner I made Italian Sausage Pomodoro in 15 minutes with the help of Romano’s Macaroni Grill frozen entrees.  This is a delicious blend of penne pasta, Italian sausage, roasted red peppers and onions tossed in a red wine and herb tomato sauce.  For a frozen meal, it was actually very good.  Often times I find these types of things to be very salty or very bland, but it fell somewhere in the middle.  I’d buy it again when I need to throw together a meal in very little time. All you have to do is add a bit of water along with the pasta to a skillet and cook for about 15 minutes. 

There are three flavors other than the Italian Sausage Pomodoro: Grilled Chicken Florentine, Roasted Garlic Shrimp Scampi, and Basil Parmesan Chicken.

I am giving away, to one lucky reader, a prize pack that includes one Macaroni Grill Frozen Entree sampler (this will be packed in dry ice, please follow instruction carefully to remove the product and to dispose of dry ice), serving bowl and pasta tongs.

To enter the giveaway, leave a comment answering the following question (make sure to leave an email address so I can contact you if you win):

Only one entry per person, please.  Please comment before Friday, September 3 at 5:00pm.  Winner will be chosen via the Random Integer Generator.
