Well went to my first sales meeting today and got excited! We are planning a bus trip to Longaberger in November if you are interested please contact me. It will cost around $100 and will include breakfast and a surprise basket. The plan is for November 7th, I'm excited as I've never been before and it seems like a fun trip. I'm posting some specials we have going on, I saw the hamper today and it is beautiful! I also have the John Deere basket and it makes a great addition to your collection. http://www.longaberger.com/helenabergman

Awesome Recipe

I made this last night it comes From For the Love of Cooking I found the recipe from Denise at Keeper Worthy Recipes tonight I'm trying Denise's Chicken Tenders in buttermilk yum!
Chicken,Mushrooms and Artichoke hearts with Cheese tortellini in a light lemon, butter sauce
Marinade:


2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
3-4 leaves of basil, chopped
zest of 1 lemon
salt and pepper
1 tbsp olive oil(for cooking )


Place chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, and pound them, with a mallet, until 1/4 inch thick. Place chicken in ziploc bag and add 1 tbsp olive oil,garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Mix so the chicken is evenly coated. Let marinate for 1 hour. I let mine go for at least 4 hours.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large skillet, over med heat. Once hot, add chicken breast and cook for 4 minutes, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes, or until juices run clear. You can also grill them
8 oz button mushrooms, sliced
1 cup frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1 handful grape tomatoes
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 package cheeses tortellini, prepared per instructions
juice of 2 lemons- I only used one
2 tbsp butter
5-6 basil leaves, chopped
salt and pepper
I also added a bit of red onion


Cook tortellini according to package. While pasta is cooking, add mushrooms to skillet where you cooked chicken and add more oil, if needed.Saute 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned. Add artichoke hearts, tomatoes and garlic. Stir frequently for 1 minute. Add tortellini, chicken, lemon juice, butter, basil and salt and pepper to taste. Warm through and serve.
