Broccoli & Chicken Mac and Cheese #TeamAnnies

June 26, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design No Comments

#spon: I’m required to disclose a relationship between my blog and Annie’s Homegrown. This could include Annie’s providing me w/ content, product, access or other forms of payment.


Hi Everyone,

I have to tell you it has been mighty hot out.  We have been in the mid 90’s to 100’s and the heat is taking a toll on me.  When it gets like this, I don’t have the desire to make dinner.  I bet you know what I am talking about!  So tonight I made a quick one dish meal that is filling, cheesy, full of protein and a HUGE hit with my family!  It’s my Broccoli & Chicken Mac and Cheese.  Mmmm, Mac & Cheese.

Broccoli & Chicken Mac and Cheese
This recipe is made with Annie’s Homegrown Shells and White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese, fresh broccoli and chicken. The broccoli and chicken take the basic Mac & Cheese up a level and makes for the perfect one pot meal. I love the little chunks of broccoli, which also adds a fabulous color, plus the chicken is so tender that it truly makes for a great meal. It kind of reminds me of a pasta Alfredo, one of out favorites. My Husband shocked me and at almost ate whole thing. He just loved it and I think you will too!
Annie's Homegrown Mac and Cheese Variety
For making this recipe super quick, I picked up a couple of boxes of Annie’s Homegrown Macaroni and Cheese, a rotisserie chicken and some fresh broccoli florets. I cooked the Macaroni and Cheese according to the directions and at the 6 minute mark; before the pasta was done, I added my broccoli to the water and cooked it for 3 minutes more. Once I drained the pasta; in the same pot I made my cheese sauce. I happened to be out of milk, so I used unsweetened coconut milk, which worked perfectly fine. I stirred my pasta into the cheese sauce and added my chicken. That’s it, dinner was done!! The whole thing took under 20 minutes!
Broccoli & Chicken Mac and Cheese
I am not one for boxed Macaroni and Cheese, but I am in love with Annie’s! To me it tastes homemade and it’s quick, and made with organic pasta. I am proud to serve Annie’s Homegrown to my family. I even leave Annie’s Homegrown Snack Packs on the desks of my co-workers. They love the surprise and one co-worker, said he loves Annie’s and only gives his son Annie’s snacks. I happened to take a sneak peek in a meeting at work and what did I see? My co-worker snacking on Annie’s Homegrown cookies. lol Those little bunnies are for not just for kids!!

I received some new pillows from Downlite Bedding called the Primaloft Renew Pillow which is perfect for back and side sleepers. They are so soft to touch, slightly firm, machine washable. As you can see Samuel loves them. It put him right to sleep. 
🐾
Downlite Bedding gave my followers a 20% discount code: DYGEN20. Now to try to get my pillow back from Samuel.

Happy Wednesday! Pucker Up! Love is in the air! I Happy Wednesday! Pucker Up! Love is in the air! I am sharing with you part of my dining room that is all decked out for Valentines Day. 
💋
I worked on my little corner by updating my bar cart, which is so dangerous because I added candy that I can’t stop eating. I also added  my new Kissing Booth sign from @krumpetshomedecor. 
💋
The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute! 
💋
The Kissing Booth sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get 10% off with code: PBANDP. The link is in my bio. Also Krumpets Home Decor ships to Canada.

What is your favorite Valentines candy?

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
