Win-It-Wednesday: Pacific Foods… Products & Recipes to Make “The Day After” Leftovers Fabulous!
I love Thanksgiving. The turkey, the mashed potatoes, sweet butternut squash, gluten-free stuffing, cranberry sauce and more. But I must admit… as I am enjoying my feast, I am already secretly concocting and contriving the “Feast of the Day After”… as I like it to be called.
Yes. I know. Some people refer to this meal the day after as “leftovers” – a word with such a negative vibe. But not to me… Instead the stacked containers in my fridge full of my cleverly planned extra foods are full of promise and potential.
Move over Black Friday… this day should be called the “Feast of the Day After”!
But sometimes my mind goes blank on recipes ideas. That’s why I was more than thrilled when I discovered all the fab-u-lious “Feast of the Day After” recipes that are being featured on the Pacific Foods website. I love that the recipes can be sorted by allergen or special dietary requirements (there are tons of gluten-free recipes). Some of them include Asparagus Risotto (made with Organic Chicken Broth), Rustic Creamy Mushroom and Vegetable Soup (made with Organic Vegetable Broth), Pumpkin Spice Soup (made with Organic Free range Chicken Broth) and Parmesan Delicata Squash Soup (made with Chicken Simply Stock).
And if you think that Pacific Foods is just about broths, stocks and soups, you need to check out their website and see all the
magnificent gluten-free products that Pacific Foods offers! Some of my favorites for Thanksgiving, and the “Feast of the Day After” include, Cranberry Sauce, Mushroom Gravy and Organic Pumpkin Puree. And did you know that Pacific Foods has a gluten-free condensed Cream of Chicken Soup?? Yup… Perfect for casseroles and more!
I also love that Pacific Food’s products contain no preservatives, and the ingredients are things that you can pronounce, and are all natural or organic. Some good stuff. Their Tetra packaging also makes the products shelf staple – so no refrigeration is needed (until opened, of course). In a nutshell? Pacfic Foods is just natural and simple goodness.
All of these simply good reasons are why I am so excited that Pacific Natural Foods is the sponsor of this Win-It-Wednesday on BeFreeForMe.com.

CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP

For me it would be the Cream of mushroom and Cream of chicken. Then I can make the tater tot casserole I use to make before I got sick. I could also have the green bean casserole for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner that the rest of the family eats.

I really enjoy the Pacific Foods brand; it’s from the northwest, organic and gluten free! This year I enjoyed three different flavors for Thanksgiving… I used the chicken soup in my cornbread stuffing, made a pumpkin desert and had whole cranberry sauce! I haven’t tried the Rosemary Potato Chowder yet, I love potato soup so this does sound very good.

I love their products, especially their chicken and vegetable broths. They are the base for all of my soups. would love to try the whole berry cranberry sauce

Cream of mushroom and cream of chicken would both come in very handy to use in all those wonderful casserole recipes that call for those.

Cream of chicken would be good for casseroles!
December 6th, 2013 at 10:29 pm
Gluten-free soups! The Pacific gluten-free soups are so good that I haven’t had one that I didn’t enjoy!! However, I do have favorites — Tomato, Tomato & Red Pepper, Butternut squash. Yum. Hard to believe that something so delicious is also nutritous.

GF soups are hard to find sometimes without paying so much extra for them, I’d love the cream of chicken soup for casseroles, don’t get them much! that would be awesome!
December 9th, 2013 at 10:34 am

I think I’ll like the Rustic creamy mushroom and vegetable! Mushroom has a cute special taste.
December 10th, 2013 at 4:32 pm
Use the chicken broth for homemade soups. The cream soups would be great for hot dishes.
December 11th, 2013 at 12:46 am
There aren’t many dishes I don’t use the chicken broth in, except for desserts, this time of year.
