Taste of Home Giveaway

It is time for the most awesome giveaway ever.....

I think so anyway.

Taste of Home was kind enough to contact me and ask

me to provide a giveaway for them.

This giveaway consists of three special addition

Taste of Home holiday magazines.

Of course, I jumped on the offer....

Wouldn't you?

These magazines are amazing!

Well, TASTE OF HOME is amazing,

Let me tell you a little about each one of these magazines.

The Cookies and Candies magazine is full of just that,

Cookies & Candies

It even has a special addition Werther's Original section.

Two pages of Werther's recipes:

Caramel Apples

Candy Apple Cheesecake

Cookie Caramel Apples

Caramel Peanut Brittle

I can't wait to try the Caramel Peanut Brittle for the Christmas Holiday.

I made these Candy Cane Cookies as soon as I received 

the magazines to review.

This recipe can be found on page 49 of the Cookies & Candy magazine.

I took them up another notch and dipped the ends in white chocolate,

and sprinkled them with sprinkles.

 The Food Gifts Magazine is perfect for Christmas coming up.

Lots of great ideas for homemade gifts.

Actually, 143 creative holiday gift ideas.

One thing about the Food Gifts Magazine, it doesn't

have to be Christmas to give the gift of food.

Crock Pot Chicken Caesar Sandwich

 I found this recipe (in Pinterest, of course) at Cozycakes Cottage,

and when you visit there you will see why I wanted to make this

ASAP.

I didn't have any pretty leaf lettuce.....

 But I had bacon on hand.

Chicken and bacon go great together, and add a little Caesar Dressing....

Masterpiece!

But wait!

Since Thanksgiving is over,

and I know you have lots of left-over turkey in the freezer,

this would be a great way to use up that turkey.

Great idea, right?

I thought so too.

I will for sure be making this again.

Thank you Cozycakes Cottage for this great recipe.

Crock Pot Chicken Caesar Sandwich

2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts

About 1 c. water

1/2 - 1 c. of your favorite bottled Caesar dressing, adjust amount to your taste

1/3 c. shredded Parmesan Romano Asiago mix.

Ground pepper

Cooked and crumbled bacon

Place chicken in crock pot with water. Cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours. Make sure you check on the chicken here and there, because you don't want it to dry out. When chicken is done, remove from the crock pot and drain the water. Shred the chicken. Place chicken back in crock pot and add dressing and cheese. Mix well and cook for another 30 minutes to heat. Serve with bacon sprinkled on top in hamburger buns.
