At my house the dinner bell rings promptly at 4:30PM and again at 6:00PM but sometimes as late as 8:00PM. Other days it rings at 2:00PM and 5:00PM.
When the virtual dinner bell rings depends on two things. First, our work schedules and second how much time I have to prepare a meal.

I say that because my guy needs a lot of help in the kitchen. I’ve seen his cooking. I’ve tasted his cooking. I understand why he doesn’t cook. Ha!
But that’s fine with me. I love to cook.

Meal time means dinners happen at different times of day for us a few days a week. Some of those days we don’t eat together. He works a flexible night shift. I’m often required to stay later on the job.

Most times I can make his meal the day before. I set up a complete meal like lasagna or a veggie casserole. He can pop it in the oven and in about 30 to 40 minutes it is ready.

Nourish Bowls are great meals to make on short notice. When I unexpectedly work overtime or a catering gig pops up that I must attend, that’s when a delicious meal like Mann’s Nourish Bowls can be a lifesaver.

It’s nice to know my guy will still have a wholesome dinner he can prepare himself in 3 to 4 minutes.

A hot, fresh meal before leaving for work means a lot.

Nourish Bowls also give me a break from cooking for myself after an extra-long day. These Nourish Bowls even make a great quick lunch, breakfast or snack.

Nourish Bowls are delicious as a meal or side dish. Balanced with fresh veggies and fully flavored sauces selected specifically for the combination of flavor ingredients. No guesswork at which sauce will taste right.

Nourish bowls come in 5 delicious varieties including Monterey Risotto, Smokehouse Brussels, Sesame Sriracha, Southwest Chipotle, Cauli-Rice Curry.

Amount of flavor combinations is up to your imagination. Add leftover chicken, beef, turkey, pork or ham. Sprinkle on your favorite cheese, diced egg, even fish or seafood.

Strawberry Pesto Chicken #SundaySupper #FLStrawberry

Just because there is snow outside, it doesn’t mean I need to stop enjoying my favorite fruit.

Sweet Florida Strawberries are available in stores all winter long from November through April each year.

If you don’t see strawberries from Florida where you shop, you can ask their produce or store manager to please carry Florida Strawberries.

They will be glad to include this Superfood on their shelves!

Florida Strawberries deliver a bundle of vitamins and nutrients to keep us going all winter long.

Florida Strawberries in fields

  • Eight medium strawberries contain more vitamin C than one orange. Vitamin C helps boost your immune system just in time for cold and flu season.
  • These little red powerhouses provide an excellent source of folic acid that helps the body metabolize protein. Protein from food helps build muscle, supports the nervous system and keeps our minds healthy and alert.
  • Florida Strawberries are virtually fat free and contain no cholesterol. That makes strawberries a perfect addition to salads, smoothies and power bowls for healthier meals.

I love Florida Strawberries right from the box, just wash and they’re ready to go! No peeling or fussing.

I love trying new ways to incorporate Florida Strawberries into my meals.
Chicken and strawberries go wonderfully together. Basil and strawberries as well as cheese and strawberries complement each other in flavor profiles.
Strawberries tame the wild mint quality of basil and balance the saltiness of cheese with a kiss of sweetness.

So a Strawberry Pesto Chicken dinner is a delicious idea. I know you’ll agree.
