My new friend in the kitchen

6 Dec

Anyone who knows me knows that I hate to cook. I’m lazy in the kitchen and I can’t stand the time and effort it takes to make a good meal. I’m constantly looking for something quick that is still a healthy and nutritious choice.

Enter Rose Romano’s

When I was offered a few jars of Rose Romano’s Italian Peppers I jumped at the chance to give them a try. I had just been complaining that I didn’t have anything good to make myself for lunch when Rose Romano’s came into my kitchen.

I love to boil up some pasta or tortellini for lunch since it’s quick, easy and it fills me up. My usual topping of choice is some Italian dressing…Until now!

A welcome surprise

I come from a family who eats Pasta Sunday just about every Sunday. The gravy (not sauce) is made from scratch by an Italian grandmother.

I was skeptical of this jarred sauce. How could it hold a candle to my Mom’s homemade gravy? Once I tried Rose Romano’s Italians Peppers I realized that it was something totally different, and I loved it.

The first time I tried it I simply boiled up some pasta and stirred some in. I prefer the Marinara with Green Bell Peppers over the Marinara with Red Bell Peppers, but I’m sure that’s just a matter of pepper preference.

Bill made an amazing dish with some chicken and tortellini with it, I could have eaten every morsel.

But Rose Romano’s Italian Pepper isn’t just for pasta. I’ve found so many quick, easy and delicious ideas that Rose Romano’s is perfect for. One of my favorite non traditional ideas is using Rose Romano’s as a baked potato topping. Not only is it quick, easy and tasty, it’s MUCH better for you than loading that potato up with sour cream and butter.

Just check out all these amazing recipes Rose Romano’s has to offer, then come up with some of your own. Really the possibilities are virtually endless.

It’s good for you too.

Rose Romano’s gourmet toppings are all natural, you won’t find any fake stuff in these jars. At only about 5 calories per serving you’re not going to be adding to your waistline either. Remember the baked potato? By adding Rose Romano’s instead of my sour cream and butter I’m really cutting down on the calories with that side dish.
