Easy linguini and clam sauce great for a quick meal. General Mills sent me a Box Top pantry stock up and with the food that was provided was Progresso® Recipe Starters Roasted Garlic. I normally make my Linguini and clam sauce from scratch. I decided to try the Recipe Starter, because I want a quick meal with less oil.
Ingredients
Progresso® Recipe Starters Roasted Garlic
2 Cans of clams minced – Drained
1lb of Linguini or Pasta
1/4 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/4 teaspoon Oregano
Make pasta following instructions
To make clam sauce Add the Progresso® Recipe Starters, drained Clams, and cheese to a pot heat till warm
Drain pasta once cooked .. do not rinse (it wash away the starch that holds the sauce)
Pour the Sauce over pasta.. sprinkle cheese
Eat and enjoy!
Less oil then a traditional linguini and clam sauce. Great with a salad and bread.
I really thought it was yummy and quick, not all the oil and butter as a normal clam sauce.
Other ideas: use the Progresso® Recipe Starters, would be good as a base for a Mushroom soup or mushroom pasta. Using a variety of mushrooms oyster, buttons and portables. Just a thought for a vegetarian option.
Check out to see if there is a coupon for it on there site.. Progresso Coupons Save the Box Top on the can to give to a Local School for education.

Listerine 21 day challenge. So if you recall my family took on the Listerine 21 day challenge. The Listerine challenge has been great for our family. Everyone sign on and committed to using the Listerine for the full 21 days (we are still doing it). My daughter and son used Reach tooth brushes and Listerine’s Smart Rinse. My daughter loved the pink Barbie rinse. We visited the Listerine web site and learned about proper dental care.
My husband I brushed with the Reach Tarter control tooth brush. We used Listerine whitening tooth paste which I loved. Then we rinsed after every brushing with Listerine Total Care. I also use the great Reach floss and Reach Access flosser which helps reach my back teeth. From my observation my teeth are actually cleaner and with less tarter. Feeling like my teeth are whiter and I find I am smiling more.
Dentist: We actually had a dentist appointment this past week, The dentist said the kids teeth look clean and healthy. The dentist did say that regular adult Listerine should not be use in a child mouth, because it is too strong. . She said the Listerine Kids Smart Rinse is a great choice.
Tip from the dentist: She also recommend to my son who does not like minty toothpaste to dip his Reach tooth brush in the Listerine Rinse and brush.
Thanks Listerine for a great check up at the Dentist.
Did you know brushing alone misses 75% of your mouth? That’s right—and believe it or not, even if you brush twice a day, you’re likely missing a majority of your mouth, leaving plenty of room for germs to grow.
By using a LISTERINE® Antiseptic mouthwash twice a day for 30 seconds, you can clean virtually 100 percent of your mouth. In fact, you can get:
Up to 5 times healthier gums in 2 weeks
Up to 9 times healthier gums in 4 weeks*
That’s not just lip service, either! The makers of LISTERINE® know that users will feel a difference—or their money back**.
Participating in this challenge offers the added benefit of joining the makers of LISTERINE® ULTRACLEAN® in helping Oral Health America impact the lives of children nationwide this year through the Smiles Across America® program. Shockingly, oral disease is now the most chronic childhood illness in the U.S.[1] It impacts kids of all backgrounds, but especially the millions who are unable to afford, or otherwise get access to, regular professional care.
Here is our video reviews so you can see the clean :

St Patricks Day Cookies: Chocolate Leprechaun Hats using a chocolate marshmallow and sugar cookie. Cute little treat for the family on St. Patricks day. Easy to make. They are also a no bake cookie. Here is how.
Dip the end Marshmallow in to chocolate a place in the center of the cookie this fused the marshmallow with the cookie
Allow the chocolate marshmallow cookie to cool in the fridge for 10 minute till set
Roll the hat on the side in the chocolate till covered. I use a spoon carefully Place on wax paper to cool or place in fridge..away from blower to avoid bubbles
When cook decorate with band and clover- I used glitter icing for my black it did not dry so I would use the same Betty Crocker icing for both the black and white.
You can buy little bags to protect the Chocolate Leprechaun Hats
You could also do Easter bonnets and use pastel chocolates.
