My Saute Express Houseparty!

I love hosting parties and get togethers (large and small) with friends and family. I was so happy when I was picked to host the Land-O-Lakes Sautee Express Houseparty!! My husband and I had used these amazing little seasoning cubes a couple times already, and had shared with my friends how quick and easy they can make dinner; so of course my friends were even more excited to hear I was going to make dinner for them and let them taste for themselves!

I was excited and a little nervous at the same time. I had never really cooked dinner for 11 people before (maybe 6-8 at most previously) and at the fact that it was chicken, something that if I didn’t get fully cooked, I could literally kill someone…yikes! But I had confidence, and everything turned out great, unless of course my friends are liars ;) I made and demonstrated cooking chicken breast tenderloins in both the Southwest and Garlic and Herb varieties. Everyone agreed that it was quick and easy. We also had mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn. Next time I hope to be able to offer more of a variety, but cooking for 11 people was pretty expensive as it was. I received coupons for 2 of the Sautee Express meal starters for free, but the rest of the stuff I had to buy myself, and the chicken alone was $15!!


It makes me so happy to entertain! I can’t wait till my next “party” opportunity…and I am sure my friends can’t wait either J
