How’s Your Culinary Creativity?

in

Most of us probably don’t need a recipe for everything we cook or assemble. Have you ever just looked in the pantry and fridge without any preconceived notions of what you were going to make and simply created a dish or meal from what you had on hand? That might sound impossible to some folks, or like a fun challenge to others.

Aunt Nellie’s Vegetables and READ Salads are inviting you to give it a try. Four prizes will be awarded. The first two entries received using Aunt Nellie’s Pickled Beets and the first two using READ Southwestern Bean Salad will receive coupons for free products and a $25 gift card.  Please submit your creations using only one of the products.

 


 

Here’s how it works.  Tell us what you would prepare if these were the only ingredients in your kitchen by commenting below. You do not need to submit a recipe-just a description of your dish using all of the following ingredients.  No additions or substitutions!

Here’s the list!

  • Aunt Nellie’s Pickled Beets OR READ Southwestern Bean Salad

  • Olive oil

  • Fresh tomatoes

  • Fresh herbs

  • A baguette

  • Leftover grilled or roasted chicken

GOOD LUCK!

Celebrate Dad

in

Sunday, June 18  is Father’s Day!  Start the celebrating early with a surprise breakfast or brunch skillet. Aunt Nellie’s Baby Beet & Potato Hash with Chorizo will keep everyone satisfied until the late afternoon barbecue that many families will be hosting for Dad.

 


 

Dad’s grilled steak, chicken, sausage, chop or whatever he favors, deserves a great accompaniment, and READ Salads and Aunt Nellie’s Vegetables have some other ideas that the guest of honor will love. Check out: Bean, Tortellini & Pesto Salad, Bean Salad Stuffed Tomatoes, Beet & Corn Salad and  Beet & Avocado Salad.  They’re so easy to make, you might want to choose a couple! Plus they can be made ahead and refrigerated until serving time.

 


 

If you don’t yet know what to serve, Southwestern Marinated Chicken with Bean Salad is a perfect choice for the dad who likes food on the spicier side.  The liquid from the can of Southwestern Bean Salad, accented with lime and garlic, makes a spicy marinade for the chicken. Add chopped tomato and cilantro to the bean salad, and you’ve got a delicious side salad.  The recipe can be doubled if you’re feeding a crowd.

 


 

So, plan the menu and get ready to celebrate Father’s Day with Dad…deliciously!
