Love with Food Review and Giveaway!

I was recently given the opportunity to try out the sample box from  Love with Food on FaceBook and this is my review and giveaway for all if you to see and participate in.  It was the month of April and so they sent me a box with mostly candy in it and that was delicious.  I had to wait to begin to eat the candy in there and get rid of my cheap Easter candy first.  So with a clean palette the process of going through this incredible box of culinary delight began. THEN I had the opportunity to join the monthly box membership and got my $2.00 off the membership, same as you'll be able to do as the WINNER of the giveaway!

Here is what was included in the box:  

 

1.    Honey Bunny Grahams by Annie’s

2.    Caramel-wrapped Pretzel Petites by Mom’s Originals

3.    Organic Chocolate Fusions by The TeaRoom Chocolate Company

4.    Rich Basil + Raspberry Vinegar by Oliovera

5.    Meyer Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil by Oliovera

6.    Masala Chai Blend by Impra Tea

7.    Hazelnut Chocolate Eggs brought to you by Ferro

The card (which is very informative and tells you more about each sample from each company being featured) is just adorable and all of this was free for me and you will receive a box with whatever month they are sharing at that time!  YUM! Oh wow, the food couldn’t be any better.  And the prices are great!

If you know me, you will know that I love to write recipes or tweak fatty ones to be healthy for you and my family.   Here is one for you that I used with the Meyer Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the Rich Basil and Raspberry Vinegar both by Oliovera.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PEARS  (you may want to save this recipe for when pears are in season or NOW like I did!)

Prep Time:  30 min   Cook Time:  30 min   Difficulty: Medium    Servings: 4

Ingredients:

·         4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 8 tenders like I used!)

·         4 pears, slicked ½ inch thick

·         1 cup scallions, sliced on an angel ½ inch long.  Use the whole scallion.

·         4 sprigs fresh rosemary

·         Lemon pepper

·         Lemon peel (shake lightly on the chicken pieces)

·         4 tablespoons Meyer Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil by Oliovera

·         2 tablespoons Rich Basil and Raspberry Vinegar by Oliovera

·         ¼ cup white wine (or sparkling apple cider if you do not care to use alcohol)

Directions:

1.    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2.    In a large pan (9 by 13) pour 2 tablespoons of the Meyer Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil byOliovera.   Add the 2 tablespoons of the Rich Basil and Raspberry Vinegar by Oliovera.  Add the scallions, pears and sprinkle with lemon pepper and salt.  I use an 18 spice salt free mixture and love it.  Toss or flip pieces over to distribute the oil and seasonings.  I placed all these items along with the chicken tenders in a Ziploc bag to evenly distribute the seasonings, vinegar and oil. 

3.    Place the four sprigs of rosemary equal distance apart so that you can place the chicken breasts on top of them.  This really makes a difference in the taste so don’t skip this step.  You may flatten the thickest part of the chicken breast so that it cooks more evenly.  You may do this with a heavy skillet.  Be sure to wrap the chicken piece in plastic wrap before pounding the chicken breast piece.  Be sure to only flatten the thickest part.  Pour the white wine (or sparkling apple cider) and remaining olive oil over the chicken and season with salt and pepper (lemon pepper).

4.    Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is done.

 

I place all of the seasonings, oil and vinegar in a Ziploc bag to coat the pieces of chicken evenly.  

 

Garnish your dish with lemon slices.  Enjoy!
