Harvest Time with Red Gold Plus Giveaway

2 Shares

I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.

I was thrilled at the opportunity to work with Red Gold again!? This time we are celebrating harvest time.? This time of year is my absolute favorite, all of the vegetables are ready to be picked and sold, the weather is always so much nicer for me and there’s that wonderful smell of fall in the air.? I received 6 cans of? Red Gold’s diced and/or crushed tomatoes in several different flavors (garlic & olive oil, Lime Juice & Cilantro, Tomatoes & Green Chilies, Diced Tomatoes and Crushed Tomatoes) along with an awesome wooden spoon and apron.

In celebrating the harvest Red Gold is focusing on crock pot meals.?The first meal I made was their Slow Cooker Spicy Macaroni and Cheese.? I was very skeptical at first.? “Tomatoes in mac ‘n cheese, who ever heard of such a thing?” I just HAD to try this and I’m so glad that I did.? It was so creamy and so good!? I’m a complete sissy when it comes to anything spicy and although the can said “hot” it did not overwhelm this dish at all.? I was very? pleasantly surprised and my husband scarfed down 2 huge bowls which pleased me greatly.? I also got to use the wooden spoon that they sent to me and it is now one of my favorite kitchen utensils!

I also decided to make their Rustic Italian Chicken recipe.? I loved it!? Again there was another ingredient, carrots of all things, that?I am positive I’ve never had?in any Italian dish I’ve tried in the past.? I also normally only cook with boneless, skinless chicken breasts but I really wanted to stay true to this recipe and decided to give the boneless, skinless chicken thighs a shot.

Again, I was sooooooooooooooo glad that I did!? It was wonderful!? The carrots were delicious and definitely helped to create the rustic nature of the dish.? The chicken thighs were tender and?moist.? It looked beautiful while cooking in the crock pot and even more beautiful on my plate.? I used thin spaghetti for my pasta and paired it with a nice glass of white wine and French bread.? It was a delicious meal.? I shared some with my mom as well as my in-laws and they really enjoyed it too.
