My wife always tries to cook healthy for us when she can. That even includes our desserts. A number of times, she’s made us brownies that are fortified with… black beans. Yeah, beans. Thing is, you can’t even tell the difference! (Though to be fair… you can “smell” the difference a little later on.)
She just loves trying out new recipes, especially those that are super simple. There’s one cake recipe she was dying to make that basically mixes a box of cake mix with pumpkin puree. You don’t add anything else. No oil. No eggs. No extra sugar. Hey, even a guy like me could do that without screwing it up, right?
So when I just received a few cartons from Pacific Foods, I was real excited to see pumpkin puree as one of them! (The other two were a salt-free chicken stock and a jellied cranberry sauce.) So you better believe we’ll be making a pumpkiny Angel Food Cake this weekend to test that one out. Great idea for a holiday dessert too. Simple to make and pretty unique!
Allie actually buys Pacific Foods chicken stock regularly and cooks our kids’ dinners in them. Instead of boiling chicken in water, she’ll boil chicken breasts in chicken stock, infusing it with even more flavor. The kids love it.
As it turns out, they’re not just any ol box, they’re a special type called a Tetra Pak carton! By using products like Pacific Foods you can actually Become Carton Smart!

I am a big fan of Tetra packed products
Looks like you have all the ingredients for healthy holidays!
I always forget to recycle stuff like this and cereal boxes. . .Thanks for the reminder!
Yay I love this brand and much prefer cartons over cans. Cans often have a liner that is made from BPA which is No GOOD.
I use Pacific products as much as I can. I like their chicken broth, and some of their soups.They are gluten free and just plain good.
