One of the first things that comes to my mind when I think about the holidays is cooking and baking. So many memories and good feelings are wrapped up in the foods I share with family and friends, just writing about it makes me want to get to work in the kitchen!
I consider myself fairly environmentally conscious—I limit my use of plastic bags, try to use reusable containers, I recycle everything that can be recycled and, overall, I’m very conscious of how my actions impact the environment.
Sometimes it’s a bit disheartening to toss my waste into a recycling bin, only to see a dirty trash bin overflowing with goods that could have been recycled. It makes me wonder if my actions are doing any good at all. Then I’m reminded that I’m definitely not the only one recycling. As an individual, my actions feel small, but, when multiplied, those small decisions add up.
Tetra Pak’s carton packages are designed for maximum efficiency and environmental friendliness, and their designs make those smart little decisions even easier. Here are just a few reasons to choose products in Tetra Pak cartons:
  • Tetra Pak cartons are made of 70% paper, which is a renewable resource.
  • Tetra Pak cartons are recyclable and use 1/3of the packaging compared to cans. They ltimately result in 60% less landfill waste than cans.
  • The cartons are reclosable, meaning you can use what you need and save the rest for later. It also eliminates using another container to store the excess!
  • The unique packaging process preserves the flavor and nutrients in food without using preservatives.
There are so many fantastic foods packaged in cartons that can be used to Become Carton Smart when preparing holiday meals. Two items that surprised me when I saw them were Pacific Foods jellied cranberry sauce and Pacific Foods Organic pumpkin puree. I had no idea either one of these came in anything other than a can!
This year, my family and I are heading to my sister’s for Thanksgiving. My sister and I are close and we both love to cook, so I’m more than happy to bring a ton of ingredients and spend the day cooking and preparing for Thanksgiving dinner alongside her. In years past, I’ve made a fabulous stuffing that’s a mix of cornbread, white bread, veggies, herbs and chicken broth. If I make it this year, I’ll be sure to buy Pacific Foods chicken broth that comes packaged in Tetra Pak cardboard rather than a can.

Cornbread Stuffing Recipe:

Cornbread Stuffing Recipe Ingredients:
  • 1 Pan Of Cornbread (homemade or made from a mix), in 1-inch cubes
  • 1 16oz loaf French Bread, in 1 inch cubes
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 stalks celery, chopped
  • 4 cups Pacific Foods No Sodium chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1-2 teaspoons dried rosemary, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Cornbread Stuffing Recipe Preparation Instructions:
  1. Spread the cubed cornbread and french bread out on two baking sheets and let dry overnight. (I put them in my cold oven because I hate letting food sit out).
  2. Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and celery and cook until the onions start to get soft and translucent.
  3. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add basil, thyme, rosemary and half of the chopped fresh parsley. Stir until combined.
  4. Place dried bread cubes in a large bowl and mix them up a bit. Gradually pour the broth mixture into the bread, tossing as you go. Keep gradually adding the broth mixture until the bread is fully moistened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place in two greased baking dishes and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown on top.

    The holidays are a great time to bring out the “good” china, silver, and glassware that we never seem to remember to use. Saves on the waste of paper plates and plastic ware. We mostly use cloth napkins year-round which saves on paper waste (and helps teach table manners to our children, we hope).

    I always like to do a half ham. There’s so many ways to serve it at a party, from appetizers to main course or do-it-yourself on rolls, then the leftovers go into sandwiches, grilled cheese or scrambled eggs. Finally, the bone goes into the freezer to make bean soup later, and even that makes so much that I freeze some for the next cold snap.

    Whenever we make a Turkey in my house whether it be for Thanksgiving or another holiday or just to make since we like it a lot, almost nothing goes to waste. The leftovers are used to make sandwiches for the next few days and the bones/carcass is used to make a delicious broth/soup.

    My entertaining tip that has come in handy many, many times is that if someone spills red wine on your light colored carpet….you can pour a little white wine over it and the reddish color will disappear.

    Then, you just dab up the moisture with a towel.

    It has saved the carpet at many a family gathering, I can tell you!

    I love the Pacific stocks – it seems I’m stocking (heh – did you catch that little pun?) up every time I go grocery shopping this time of year. I just finished making three different soups, so my recycling bin is full of cartons (and my freezer is stocked with yummy soups!). Organic is a plus – and the recyclable cartons are a plus. And the cartons are so much easier to store in my pantry. One of my favorite afternoon pick-me-ups is 1/2 mug chicken or vegetable stock, 1/2 mug hot water, and a dash of hot sauce. Keeps me warm in these winter months and enhances my ability to fight all those viruses going around this time of year.

    I would use the pumpkin puree to make Pumpkin Pie Dump Cake. It is so much easier than pumpkin pie and everyone tells me that they love it!

    Pumpkin Pie Dump Cake

    Ingredients:
    15 0z. pumpkin puree
    12 oz. evaporated milk
    3 large eggs
    1 cup sugar
    3 tsp. pumpkin spice
    1 box Spice Cake Mix (yellow can also be used)
    1 cup butter, melted

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a bowl combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar and pumpkin spice until well-combined. Pour the mixture (which looks like pumpkin pie filling) into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle dry cake mix on top and then drizzle with the melted butter. Bake 55-60 minutes.

    I love using cartons of chicken stock to make easy chicken and dumplings in the crockpot! I throw in a couple of chicken breast, carrots, celery, onion, fresh herbs like sage and rosemary (dried works, too) and then cook on low for 8 hours. An hour before serving, I add a tube of refrigerator biscuits — they puff up and make perfect dumplings, when I’m short on time.

    Switching to cartons reduced my broth/stock waste. I love to just put the carton in the refrigerator when done, and use the rest later. Also, I like the cartons because I don’t need a can opener.

    I love the carrot ginger flavor. It’s easy to mix with rice or cous cous.

    We used the Pacific Chicken Stock on Christmas Day. My son used it in place of milk in mashed potatoes. I used their Jellied Cranberry Sauce on my Tofurky (so amazing!).

    My tip? Use stock to poach chicken breasts for a more flavorful chicken. Then shred or cut into chunks and use it on salads, add to spaghetti sauce and noodles for quick chicken spaghetti, or add mayo, celery, salt, and pepper for a tasty and juicy chicken salad.

    I use carton chicken broth to make my Crockpot potato soup that is incredibly easy and delicious!

    You need:
    – 1 carton of chicken broth
    – 2 cans of cream of chicken soup
    – 1 can of cream of cheddar soup
    – 16oz bag of hashbrowns
    – packet of soup thickener (optional)

    Pour everything into the slow cooker. Cook on low for about 3-4 hours to get everything melted together. No need to stir. Add soup thickener per the directions on the packet or within the last hour of cooking.

    Serve with bacon bits, sour cream, chives, and shredded cheese.

    DELICIOUS! I’ll have to checkout the Unsalted Chicken Stock that you mentioned above next time I make this. Thank you so much for your work on this giveaway! Happy New Year!

    Didn’t know if you need the whole recipe

    3 cups chopped yellow onions
    1 pound lturkey sausage (I use Jennie-O Sweet)
    28 oz can of diced tomatoes ( I like to get the ones with jalapenos I love my chili spicy)
    15 oz can of dark red kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
    15 oz can of pinto beans (rinsed and drained)
    10 oz, low-sodium chicken broth
    2 Tbsp chopped garlic
    2 Tbsp chili powder (I usually add a little more for good measure)
    1 Tbsp fresh oregano or 1 tsp dried
    1 tsp ground cumin
    1 tsp mustard powder
    Jalapenos (if desired)

    Instructions:
    Coat frying pan with cooking spray. Cook onions over medium-high heat until soft or just starting to brown. Add ground turkey and/or sausage and cook until no longer pink. Transfer into a dutch oven or crock pot (I like to use the crock pot and let it cook for a while). Add tomatoes, kidney beans, pinto beans, broth, garlic, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and mustard powder. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. If you are using a crock pot you can just put it in and let it cook/simmer until you are ready to eat.

    Thanksgiving Anytime (Grilled Turkey Roulade with Cranberry Sauce)

    Butterfly and pound a raw turkey breast flat with a mallet. Split one container of Pacific Foods Chicken Stock. Measure out the amount of liquid directed for use to prepare box of stuffing. Combine the rest of the chicken broth with 1/4 cup of sugar to create a brine and soak turkey breast for 30 min to 1 hour.

    During this time, prepare the stuffing with the conserved broth. Stuff the turkey breast with cooked stuffing (roll or fold in half) and grill on high heat, uncovered, for 6-8 minutes or until all surfaces turn caramel-brown in color and the turkey is cooked through.

    Slice stuffed turkey breast and serve with Pacific Foods Jellied Cranberry Sauce. Enjoy!

Remove the bones and skin and take all the meat and cut it into small pieces. Chop up a few carrots and celery stalks and cook in the chicken stock until done, then add egg noodles and the chicken pieces and cook until the egg noodles are done. Makes delicious chicken soup.
