As busy moms we are always looking for new ways to spice up old favorites or quick recipes for hectic schedules. I prefer to make a ton from scratch, but when it comes to spices I dont always know the way to mix and match with a perfect blend….of…well, perfection! I am a taste tester, meaning that when I cook, I cook as I go and sometimes that ends up with a burned pan or too much pepper or not enough cayenne. So when I can simplify those flavors and add a little help, it makes me happy!
Philadelphia Cooking Creme wants to help people like me out. Not only with flavoring food to a perfect homecooked meal, but in trying some new recipes. Their new “Recipe of the Month” features yummy looking recipes like: Baked Penne, Creamy Chicken Florentine and Shrimp & Broccoli Fettuccine.
Philadelphia Cooking Creme is currently available in:
- - Italian Cheese & Herb
- - Savory Garlic
- - Savory Lemon & Herb
- - Creamy Pesto
- - Original
- - Santa Fe Blend
- - Tomato & Basil
You can find it in the refrigerated cheese section in most retailers nationwide. For those of you watching what you eat, they are also available in Reduced-Fat and 15 oz tubs.
The cooking cremes are easily paired with items you already have in your pantry (like pasta tortillas and rice), so they are a great option for those really crazy nights when you just don’t feel like cooking. With seven flavors of cooking creme to try, I would love to see what you cook up! Try this for example:
What You Need:
How To Make It:
COOK chicken and peppers in large nonstick skillet on medium heat 5 to 6 min. or until chicken is done.
ADD cooking creme; cook and stir 3 min.
STIR in spinach and pasta; top with nuts.
EASY EASY EASY! And regardless of being a working mom, stay at home mom, heck you don’t even have to be a mom, if you have to cook at night at ALL, the Philidephia Cooking Creme lends for some great options to fill up your plate (and get seconds).
I made the Creamy Chicken Florentine last night…my family loved it…I wasn’t thrilled. The sauce was too thick (I could have used only half of the tub) and it was too garlic-y for my taste. I recycled the tub already and never looked at the nutritional information for the sauce or the entire meal…I’ve been searching but can’t seem to come up with it…cookphilly.com doesn’t supply that information….has me a bit worried that it’s so difficult to find…and, because of that, I’ll probably not use the cooking sauces again.
I love their cremes they are so easy to use and my family loved the recipes we tried.
I’ve tried a few of their creams and liked them!
