I was given the opportunity to visit
our local Sam’s Club this week
to try out their Castle Wood deli
section to create a sandwich for
our family on the go. Gage and I
found all kinds of goodies for our
busy dinner in the Castle Wood
section. We finally decided on a
few Castle Wood products for our
sandwiches…
Now, you may think sandwiches
are boring, but they don’t have to
be. I kept our sandwich simple,
but it is FULL of flavor. The key is
working with good, flavor packed
ingredients. I selected to use The
Castle Wood Four Pepper Oven
Roasted Turkey Breast along with
the Castle Wood Pepper Jack. Then
I paired those two stars with a fabulous supporting cast of tomatoes, cucumber and hummus…
Yes, hummus! It’s a full flavor, less fat option to mayonnaise or Miracle Whip.
This sandwich is bursting with flavor and is perfect for those meals when you would like to save time and money. With Castle Wood Lunch Meat Sam’s Club signature brand, you can create a fabulous sandwich for $1… Yep, that’s ONE DOLLAR!

This past week I headed out to Sam’s Club to look for Castle Wood Lunch Meat. I’ll admit I had not knowingly tried it yet at this point, but once I found all the varieties available plus the affordable price, I was shocked that I had waited so long! I was able to pick up a variety pack which included all the meats that I needed for this delicious sandwich!
Then, it was time to build my sandwich. I included 4 different types of meat, cheese,
lettuce, and tomato along with my dill spread! I wanted to include my favorite dill spread
on the sandwich as opposed to a mayo or dressing. I like to make this spread and then
keep it on hand for sandwich making throughout the week. It’s a simple combination of
Greek yogurt, sour cream, and lots of dill weed! I used Udi’s gluten free bread for my
sandwich and then used regular bread for my husband. This is the perfect way to serve
gluten free or not!
Not only is this a great sandwich for a daily meal, but it is also perfect to cut into smaller portions and serve at a party! I was won over by this delicious lunch meat!

testI believe I’ve talked before about my love of sandwiches. Cold or hot…I love them
all. And I don’t think I could ever get tired of sandwiches either. Sandwiches and I
get along beautifully. Luckily, the same is true of sandwiches and everyone in my
family. My kids seriously get excited for hand-held dinners. The recipe I’m sharing
today is a chicken version of our Philly Cheesesteaks called….what else? Oven
Baked Chicken Cheesesteaks.
To start with, I used Castle Wood Oven Roasted Chicken Breast Sliced Lunch
Meat, available at Sam’s Club, that I bought on a recent shopping trip. For the
cheese, I used Castle Wood Provolone Sliced Cheese, also available at Sam’s
Club. I used this entire package for 6 sandwiches.

Are you a working mom who usually eats out for lunch? If so, I think that you will love
the DIY Café Style Sandwiches! Even if you are not a working mom… these recipes
are fabulous!
Café sandwiches are very simple, easy and affordable to make! In fact I added up
the cost to make each sandwich and {get this} they were all under $2.50 to make!
The key to a great sandwich is the ingredients. If a Café quality sandwich is your aim
then you need to focus on the best tasting products. I recently tried and fell in love
with the Castle Wood brand lunch meats. They are very high quality, but they are also
affordable! I purchased the Variety Pack of Castle Wood shaved deli meats from Sam’s
Club. I also picked up a variety pack of Castle Wood Deli Sliced Cheeses.
These deli slices are wonderful! They are even great on their own too. I often catch
myself or the girls snacking on them right out of the fridge! I love the variety packs of
Castle Wood meats and cheeses because I can create a different sandwich each day!

My husband is a butcher. Now that he
has lived in Texas long enough, he has a
curiosity about grilling and wants to learn
more about football tailgating foods. He
and I headed to Sam’s Club to pick up
some Cavanaugh Sausage and other
ingredients to make shish kabobs on the
grill so we could provide some of the food
for our Sunday football dinner.
The Boy and Hubby had a great time
putting the sausage, peppers, onions,
and pineapple on the skewers. The Boy
thought it was cool that he knew how to
make the patterns. And then, of course,
Hubby wanted to have a short sword fight
with him.
Before Hubby put the shish kabobs on
the grill, I was admiring how beautiful
everything looked. One of the traditions
that we are trying to instill in our family
is to eat healthy and fresh. I have never
eaten so colorfully before! Eating together
is such a wonderful time to catch up with
your family and learn how everyone is
doing. I have always loved the tradition
of eating together at the table…and it just
wouldn’t feel right to not be with family
while watching football. We’re a football
family and whether you are tailgating or
at home, a meal together always makes it
more fun!

I hope that you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving. I know that I did. I assume that most
of you had a traditional turkey dinner, but have you thought about having ham
for a holiday meal? We had Castle Wood Boneless Ham (that we purchased at
Sam’s Club) and turkey for our Thanksgiving meal
this year and it made for quite a tasty selection.
I don’t think that we have ever had ham with our
Thanksgiving dinner, so this was a nice change
for us.
We thoroughly enjoyed the Sam’s Castle Wood
Ham and definitely plan to purchase it for another
family meal! We might even pass on the turkey
altogether next year and just have ham.
If your family is like mine, you had a LOT of leftovers. So, what did you do with all
those leftovers? We made grilled ham and cheese sandwiches and Cheesy Ham
and Turkey Soup.

Getting Creative (and Delicious) with Thanksgiving LeftoversGlenda Embree

To really put our Thanksgiving dinner over-
the-top, I added a Castle Wood Spiral-Sliced
Ham, from Sam’s Club, to the menu. It was
delicious! We loved the lightly sweet, smoked
flavor and buying it spiral cut meant that it was
easy to slice perfectly consistent, thin-sliced
and juicy servings. Not only did it contribute to
our abundant and festive Thanksgiving menu;
like turkey, ham lends itself to all kinds of tasty
“leftover” recipes.
I made THREE delicious new meals with
leftovers from our Castle Wood Ham. All
three were pretty simple, but SOOOO good.
On Thanksgiving night, I made my Ham and
Cheese Sliders with Caramelized Poppy seed
Glaze and Homemade Noodle Soup. We still
had some yummy ham left and it was the
perfect lunch ingredient for Grilled Cheese
Broccoli Pockets with Ham and Diced Apples! I
love this simple, meal-on-the-go recipe and the
rest of Thanksgiving leftover ham was just what
I needed to pull it off.
Do you make a huge feast for your family’s
Thanksgiving celebration? Do you serve ham,
turkey, or both? What creative ideas do you
have for using up the leftovers?

This week I took something that nearly all kids love (chicken
nuggets) and added some veggies to make some holiday
food art that didn’t involve marshmallows, chocolate and
all things unhealthy for a change. I started out with a trip
to Sam’s Club because I signed up to bring the chicken
nuggets for Kayla’s class party next week. I wanted to make
sure the kids wound up eating the good ones, like the white
meat kind from Tyson.
If you happen to follow me on Instagram then you’d know
we’re having a total Rudolph obsession in our home. I
thought that a cherry tomato nosed Rudolph might just be
the way to her heart and her belly. I added some cauliflower
snow and thinly sliced some carrot antlers. Then I realized
she needed some ketchup to dip those nuggets in so I wrote
in ketchup.
Picky Eater? Christmas Lover? These Nuggets are for You!

So, what did Kayla think? She didn’t say much
more than “RUDOLPH!!” Before plucking
his nose off, stuffing it in her mouth and
then swiping the chicken nugget through the
ketchup and downing it. Score one for mom
in the cherry tomato eating department. It just
goes to show that if you have a picky eater it
pays to strategize and figure out what will get
them to at least consider trying some new and
healthier foods.

In the spirit of the holidays, we decided
to have a Tyson Chicken Nugget
Decorating Party! I headed to our
local Sam’s Club
in preparation for
the party because
nothing says lovin’ like
buying Tyson Chicken
Nuggets in bulk!
As soon as I arrived
home, the kids were
ready for some decorating fun! We
decided to stick with a snowman theme
and I thought that was a great idea.
For decorating the snowmen, I broke
out the skewers to hold the nuggets
snowmen in place, some ranch
dressing to give them
the snowman effect and
various other condiments
to add to our snowmen.
We also cut up carrots
and peppers for some
additional accessories
(nose, scarf, hat, etc.).
This really was a genius idea because
the kids were snacking on the veggies
while decorating their snowmen.

Holiday Chicken Nuggets Creative Food Ideas Amber Edwards
27It’s no secret that we love
to make kids crafts in this
household! Especially when
they are holiday crafts that
match the season! But have
you ever tried making kids
crafts out of your food? Ok,
sure there are the cookies
that you decorate. But why
do cookies get all the fun? We
took the challenge and came
up with some fun creative food
ideas for kid’s crafts with Tyson
Chicken Nuggets!
One of the top requested
easy meals is Tyson Chicken
Nuggets and fries. Sounds
great! They are simple to make.
Plus the Tyson Chicken nuggets are made from 100% natural ingredients! They are made with white
meat, 0g trans-fat and no preservatives.
Let’s start by making the Holiday Snowmen Chicken Nuggets. You will need three chicken nuggets, two
fries, about 5 toothpicks, one olive and a little ketchup. Let me tell you now, kids will absolutely love making
these! With help from my boys, we soon had enough for a little Holiday Nugget snowman village. I have
to say this would probably make a great family kids craft, Holiday party activity, or even a winter birthday
party kids craft. It will be easy for you to orchestrate with simple cooking, simple clean up and lots of fun!

Are you a busy mom like me? Are you maybe even a working mom? Do you pack
a lunch for you and your family or do you eat out each day? What are some of
your favorite working mom meals?
It can get really, really expensive to buy lunch out every
day. Yikes! So in our family I pack a lot of lunches! It
saves us a ton of money. Plus a homemade sandwich
just tastes better to me.
Today I’d love to share one of our family’s favorite
recipes! My family loves these easy {ham and cheese}
mini melt sandwiches for lunch. They are also great for a quick dinner, and then
you can save the leftovers for lunches the next day. Oh yay…a two for one meal!
You can’t beat that!
First I headed to Sam’s Club to pick up some Castle Wood lunch meat and other
ingredients for our sandwiches. FYI: Castle Wood lunch meat is a Sam’s Club
private label lunch meat.

I love making fun foods for the kiddos (especially
when there is a good theme like Christmas)! So,
I made a super fun and easy holiday meal with
Tyson chicken nuggets! After all, why should the
cookies get all of the fun?
Back at home with our nuggets; turning them in to
something fun and festive was super easy! After
cooking up some nuggets in our toaster oven, I
laid them out on a platter in a tree shape. I used
22 nuggets to do that! Such an easy and fun way
to create a festive meal! What would you make
with your chicken nuggets? Santa? Snowmen?
Reindeer? So many ways to get creative!

Decorating during the holidays is usually
reserved for cookies and cakes, but not this
year. A few chicken nuggets from Tyson
can turn a standard meal into something
fantastic. With a
little imagination, a
snowman can be
created just by adding
ketchup and ranch.
To have additional color
choices, I used ranch
dressing mixed with cake decorating colors.
The blue and green were mixed in a bowl
and then placed in a bottle. The boys were
hesitant to embrace the different colors so
they tried a little bit on their finger. It also
helped that my oldest watched me mix the
colors. Once they were convinced the new
colors were edible, they were so ready to
decorate.
For our chicken
nuggets snowman
each child used three
nuggets per snowman.
My boys saw the
snowball in the hand
of my snowman and
decided to create a
snowball fight between two snowmen. I loved
their creative thought process with this! Two
thumbs up for my two boys! They loved the
Tyson chicken nuggets and also decorating
them. This was the first of many fun times
ahead to play with their food.

If there’s one thing my son absolutely loves, it’s definitely his Chicken Nuggets.
That boy asks for his nuggets every single day for lunch. No matter how many
options we give him, his taste buds always crave his precious chicken nuggets.
Earlier this week, we had a BIG problem! Gasp…we were OUT OF NUGGETS!!!
Of course my son just wasn’t having that. So, being the awesomest mom that I
am, of course we had to head out to Sam’s Club to pick up another GIANT bag of
his favorite – Tyson Chicken Nuggets.
With Christmas just a few days away, I had an awesome idea. Why not decorate
the chicken nuggets for the holidays? What I decided to do was so simple and
fun. I’m talking super-simple, folks! I purchased some holiday pretzels while I was
at Sam’s Club, broke them up, added them as antlers and used ketchup to make
the eyes and nose.
Voila – there you have it: Reindeer Nuggets!!!

The holiday season is all about creating family traditions and memories for me.
The demo stand at Sam’s Club was all about chicken nugget decorating this week.
I immediately fell in love with the idea because Tyson Chicken Nuggets are one of
W’s favorite foods! And I’m all about finding ways to have fun as a family without
spending much money. Why not turn dinner into a fun crafty activity with a holiday
theme? The decorating ideas are almost endless. From snowmen and snowflakes
to reindeer and candy canes, your family is really only limited by what you can
dream up. But let me share a little tip that might work for your family.
I decided to make red and green Christmas lights to keep with the Christmas
theme I had for this project. But you could make as many colors as you have food
coloring. You could also use ketchup and just make the ranch dressing green. So
many options depending on what your family likes to eat!
After gushing over my successful dive into the art of chicken nugget decorating, it
was time for the true test; the toddler taste test. The toddler taste test is the key.
How did it go? Toddler taste test approved!

Raileigh has never liked meat. Ever
since she was an infant and we first
began feeding her solid foods, she
has turned her nose up at nuggets,
burgers, hot dogs, and anything else
that contains meat.
Then, the other day we were at our
local Sam’s Club. At the end of one
of the frozen food aisles, I spotted a
lady passing out samples. She asked
if Raileigh would like to decorate her
nuggets. She pointed to a nearby
sign that had a picture of nuggets
made into snowmen. This was an
offer Raileigh could not refuse. She
and Darren set out to make a cute
snowman consisting of nuggets,
ranch, BBQ sauce, ketchup, and
mustard. The creation turned out
great! Plus, Raileigh had a really good
time making it. However, I just could
not convince her to eat it. So, we
picked up a bag of the Tyson Chicken
Nuggets so that we could recreate a
similar project at home.
We made Tyson Chicken Nugget
“Cookies!” After we finished decorating
our cookies, I asked Raileigh if she
wanted to try one. To my surprise,
she said yes! She didn’t eat all the
nuggets, but she did finish that
one. It’s not much, but it’s a start
considering she absolutely never eats
meat.

Did you know that Sam’s Cub has
a line of private label lunch meats
that are affordable and delicious? By
keeping a few of these on hand at all
times, lunch can be put together in no
time at all. The other day, my husband
and I shopped at Sam’s Club to pick
up some of their Castle Wood lunch
meats. I was pleasantly surprised to
see how affordable the meat really
was. They have several different
meats to choose from. There are even
variety packs if you want to try more
than one without buying them all.
We decided on the Four Pepper
Turkey Breast and some Provolone
cheese. Of course I had to try the
turkey as soon as we got home. It was
absolutely delicious.
The meat is full of pepper flavor. It
is so much better than the turkey
I usually buy. I pulled a few more
things from our refrigerator and got to
work on a simple sauce to make the
sandwich stand out. Mayonnaise and
barbecue sauce is my new favorite
sauce. The raspberry chipotle gives it
the sweet and spicy kick that I love.
Now that I know how quickly I can
put together a gourmet lunch for low
prices, there is no excuse for me to
work through lunch again.

Did you host or attend a party this New Year’s Eve? My
husband, Clay, and I host a party every New Year’s Eve. We
bought some goodies at Sam’s Club and we all rang in the
Near Year together.
Because we went to Sam’s Club, we
were able to buy larger boxes of things.
They have this Daily Chef Chicken Bacon
Bruschetta. There are 32 pieces for less
than $10. And they are the perfect palm sized pieces so they
really go a long way in a crowd. We had about 15 guests,
including kids; so there were plenty with just one box. And
they are SUPER EASY to fix. You just bake them on a baking
tray for about 15 minutes. They are precooked so you’re just
heating them up and melting the cheese.
So, you’re probably wondering what a frozen Bruschetta tastes
like, right? Well, it is SO GOOD! It is chicken, bacon, ranch and
tomatoes on little toasts. The flavor is amazing.

The flavor is amazing.
44I did NOT want to sit at home on another
major Holiday {my ex had the kids the week of
Christmas} thinking about nothing! So, I picked
up the phone, called my best friend, loaded my
kids in the car and headed to her house two
hours away to ring in the New Year with her and
her son! The girls were over the moon excited!
But seeing as I had – err – invited myself, I
could not show up empty handed! Lucky for me,
in anticipation of the other party, I had already
been to Sam’s Club for Daily Chef Chicken and
Bacon Bruschetta. Just the sound of it made my
mouth water! So when I decided to head to my
best friend’s house, I was ready!

My husband’s sister and her husband were in
town and staying at his parents’ house, and they
invited us over for a New Year’s Eve mini-party. I
didn’t want to show up empty-handed, but I also
didn’t want to make anything complicated. When
I heard about Daily Chef Bruschetta, available at
Sam’s Club, I knew it was the perfect solution.
Who doesn’t like bruschetta?
When the bruschetta was done, I could barely
wait for it to cool down to eat it. It looked
amazing, and I could tell it was going to be
delicious! Even so, I underestimated it. The
bread was perfect with a hard crust with a soft
middle; and while I’ve had some bad luck with
frozen spinach & artichoke before, this seriously
tasted like I’m used to from restaurants.
A Delicious New Year with Daily Chef Bruschetta!

This year I decided to hold a
little tree trimming party with my
granddaughters. I thought it would be
fun to get them all together to help
decorate my Christmas tree.
When I was shopping at Walmart I
came across the Tyson Any’Tizers
in the freezer section. I spotted the
new Any’Tizers Chicken and Bacon
Bruschetta and knew I had to try it. It
would be the perfect appetizer for my
tree trimming party. That is my kind
of party food! My daughter Megan
loves Bruschetta and since she
would be coming over with two of my
granddaughters I picked up a bag.
I wasn’t sure how the tree trimming
would go with all three of the girls
so I picked up a craft project for
the kids to do that was perfect for a
Tree Trimming Party. Have you seen
the Christmas Paper Chain kits at
Walmart? The strips of paper are pre-
cut and pre-glued so all you have to
do is dampen one end of a paper strip
and stick it together. The kids loved
making the paper chains.

This year we decided to attend the
Children’s Theatre Company production
of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Our
entire family loves the classic Dr. Seuss
story of Christmas cheer. The Grinch of
our show was fabulous, but I could not
take pictures during the performance.
The costumes were vibrant and funny,
just as they should be. And it was fun to
see our much loved characters come to
life in front of our eyes.
But after the show, it was time to return
home for a little Grinch party of our
own. Clearly, it was time to step out of
our dressy attire and into something
much more comfortable. And it was time
to feed our hungry selves. My family
loves to eat appetizers. Turning these
treats into a meal is a special event for
us. Plus, cooking our Tyson Any’Tizers
Bruschetta and Mini Bread Bowls was
so easy! Woo hoo - for uncomplicated
entertaining, you gotta love that! This
little set up might look festive and
difficult, but it took almost no time at all!
The potential “hard work” of creating
bruschetta and mini bread bowls was
taken care of by Tyson!
Are you entertaining this holiday
season? Or do you need to bring a
dish for a gathering you are attending?
I highly recommend Tyson Any’Tizers
Bruschetta or Mini Bread Bowls.

I know that we tell our children not to play with their food, but when challenged to
come up with a creative way to use Tyson Any’Tizer’s Ranch Fries, instantly TJ
and I knew that we wanted to build a haunted house. We wanted to have a mini
Halloween party with the kids before trick-or-
treating and knew that this would be perfect!
Here is everything we need to make our
delicious haunted house: Tyson Any’Tizers
Ranch Fries, toothpicks, marshmallows,
broccoli, black icing gel, candy pumpkins,
ketchup and ranch dressing for dips and mini
chocolate bars.
We absolutely had a blast making our Any’Tizers Ranch Fries haunted house.
In fact, almost as much fun as we had eating it!! The Ranch Fries are really
yummy! They have just the right amount of ranch flavoring and were a hit among
everyone….even our picky eater Keeley!
We absolutely had a blast making our Any’Tizers Ranch Fries haunted house; almost as much fun as we had eating it!!
Last Friday night we
got together with
some friends and
carved pumpkins!
Before going to
the party, I made
some dipped Oreos.
I dipped them in
chocolate and drizzled
on some orange
frosting.
After dipping the
cookies, I realized we
didn’t have much time
left before we had to
leave! Luckily, I had purchased Tyson
Chicken Bacon Club Stuffed Mini Bread
Bowls on Thursday so I made them for
dinner. I grabbed the box to see what
temperature I needed to set the oven to
and was delighted to discover that these
bread bowls are microwavable! Our
dinner was ready in minutes! They were
delicious!

There isn’t always time to
prepare a big meal in this house.
Some nights just call for fast and
easy, whether it’s because we’ve
had a tiring day or just want
to take it easy. With that said,
I still want to make meals that
our family can enjoy together. I
recently did just that, thanks to
Tyson.
We were hungry and didn’t want
to wait for oven cooking times.
We tossed two Tyson filets
into the microwave while the
noodles cooked on the stove and
the bread was being warmed.
Everything finished up around
the same time, so we were
eating within 15 minutes! The
meal was very tasty, and it was
something we were able to enjoy
together without slaving over the
stove for an hour or more.

I decided to stroll around Walmart
and find some simple but delicious
ingredients to make a quick lunch or
dinner that will keep my family happy
this Holiday Season and will make me
look like I slaved in the
kitchen for hours!
I found the new Crispier
Chicken Breast Fillets
by Tyson. My Family
loves chicken, and fried
chicken is even better;
yet it takes forever to make and makes
a big mess in the kitchen. I grabbed a
few bags to see how the new Tyson
Crispier Chicken breasts fillets would
turn out.
I immediately had fifty recipes jump
at me. I could have a home cooked
baked Chicken dinner just with green
beans, mashed potatoes, and all the
fixings, or I could use the chicken in
a salad as a topping. I
also could include the
chicken in a wrap or in
many casseroles. The
possibilities are endless!
I decided on something
light after the big
Thanksgiving dinner, and came up with
a Cranberry Crispy Chicken Wrap. It will
take less than 20 minutes to make and
you can include ingredients that your
family likes.
It’s a WrapMelanie Roberts
They use the actual breast and not the
little chicken strips. I was impressed!

Partying with Any’Tizers
I don’t often play hostess for parties, but I decided that I wanted to have a little go
at it simply to spend time with other adults. I’m a big fan of doing things as easily
as possible if I can get away with it. There is a certain sense of satisfaction that
comes from digging in and doing everything myself,
but sometimes I just want it to be quick and easy!
For this particular party I decided to use an old
fallback that would look great, taste great, and only
take about 20 minutes to prepare! I grabbed my best
little man and headed to Walmart!
With the help of a friendly employee we quickly found
the Tyson Stuffed Mini Bread Bowls and the Tyson
Any’Tizers Bruschetta Chicken and Bacon. Two packages of each cost around
$25. I’ve never been able to buy that much food for a party with just $25, plus I get
to make the oven do all the work!

Everyone enjoyed the Any’Tizers. They are a great addition to any party!
