Philadelphia Cooking Creme... Finally!

I am quite delighted to have been chosen as a host for the Philly Dinnertime
Dilemma Houseparty! Why? Because in my opinion, this is a product-idea whose
time was L-o-n-g overdue. And now that it's here, I want you to know all about it! 
You see, I've been creating my own Philly cream cheese pasta and cooking sauces for
years by adding herbs/spices, milk, butter and a splash of white wine and/or heavy
cream, when I have it, to a package of Philadelphia cream cheese. I use my cooking
sauce-creations as my own Alfredo or to spoon it over grilled prawns on rice. And,
I use it a lot in making the best open-faced chipped beef sandwiches... Ever!   
But now! Now that Philly is sharing the cream cheese I use in cheesecakes, and letting
it venture beyond the smear on my bagel to launch a tasty line of their own cooking
cremes, the recipe options are endless, and my dinnertime has never been easier! 
So what about all this fun stuff you see? Well, along with lots of Free cooking cremes
for me to sample, I also received coupons, recipe guides, pads of shopping lists, and
lots of wooden spoons to share with friends. Plus an oven mitt, and a Green Pan!  
My party isn't scheduled for a couple of weeks; however, I couldn't wait to tell
you about this... I also have four extra sets of Philly goodies to share with a few
of my readers. So if you'd like to receive some of this loot, just leave a comment,
and I will select four winners at random - And announce them later this week!! 
I know you'll understand if I keep the stainless steel Green Pan for myself!
The rest of it is all yours though!
Today I whipped up a delicious dinner in just a few minutes using
the Philly Italian Cheese and Herb flavored cooking creme!
 I added chunks of a pre-baked chicken breast I picked up at the market, a
couple handfuls of steamed broccoli and some cooked bow-tie pasta to the creamy,
perfectly seasoned cooking creme. Honestly, I couldn't do it any better than Philly!
You could use any combination of veg, meat or seafood to satisfy your dinner desires! Or
use rice instead of pasta... Or skip this altogether, and go for the enchilada recipe!
 Whatever you decide to create with Philly's new Cooking Cremes...
I know you're going to Love it as much as I do!

The Legal Stuff: All of the give-away goodies I received as well as the Philly cooking creme I used to create this dinner recipe was provided to me Free, as a blogger-member of Houseparty.com selected to host a Philly Dinner Dilemma party. However, the opinions about this product are my own. And, if I didn't love it, you'd know about it!

GIVE-AWAY IS CLOSED!
I put your names into a cup and pulled out the following
winners of one each of the Philly Cooking Creme goodies
I received for my party. Instead of 4, I pulled six names
because I'm a push-over that way... Winners are:

  2. They are in stores now! And, these sauces are sooooo good!

    I added a little pasta water to loosen up the sauce just before I added the chicken and veg; however, that's just because I don't care for super-thick sauces... (Still dieting with CLEAN, you know!)

    Best to you always, and with my thanks for popping in!

  11. I started reading your blog after Melanie from Coupon Goddess mentioned you! I have loved following along on all your adventures :) The broccoli/chicken dinner looks fantastic and my family would LOVE that! As a busy mom of four I am always looking for great dinners/ideas that not only taste great but are easy and quick. These new Philly cooking cremes look like they will fit the bill perfectly!

  17. I love cooking with P.C.C.! I make a ton of spiced dips, just had a friend request a dip I made a couple of years when she was with baby #2. I had forgot about it, because I just kinda threw it together before a BBQ. She was home this past weekend,craving that same dip.....she's on baby #3!! :)

  18. I heard about these for the first time on the Rachael Ray show when Pauld Deen was on there! I have been wanting to try them, but keep forgetting! I need to go write this down.
    I went to the web site and all of the flavors look so good, except the Santa Fe, lol. I'm a bit picky hahaha
