My Hubby Rescued Dinner with Barber Foods! #BarberDads

by
Per special request from Barber Foods, this is my husband’s very first guest post here at Experimental Mommy! Enjoy!

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody…

When the Beatles penned these lyrics in 1965, I’m pretty sure they weren’t looking for help around the house. However, when my wife called earlier this week—and essentially said the same thing, her message to me was loud and clear, “You have to go cook dinner.” Although I live in the part of the country known for its excellent cooks: Emeril Lagasse, John Besh, and Paul Prudhomme, yours truly would never make this list. So I had a choice to make, fast food or cook something. Although I believed fast food to be the easier option, I was feeling adventurous and decided I would cook.

Upon opening my freezer, I found that we had 2 boxes of Barber Foods Stuffed Chicken Breasts. Well, here goes nothing, I thought.

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Check.
  • Step 2: Remove chicken breasts from pouch and place on a cooking sheet. Check.
  • Step 3: Bake in a preheated oven for at least 35 minutes (until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees). Wow, 3 steps—that’s it. Maybe fast food wasn’t the easier option, after all.

I have to admit, a 3 step approach to a dinner entrée was very appealing, but it was nowhere near as appealing as the taste. The stuffed chicken breasts were delicious (so good in fact, that my 2 very picky daughters asked for seconds). They were very juicy with an excellent taste– a real complement to the creamed potatoes and salad that I made.

Barber Foods defiantly saved dinner that night, and even earned me a little respect in the kitchen. I plan on fixing many more of the over 20 options that Barber has available. Who knows, after a few more meals like this one, maybe I’ll volunteer to handle Thanksgiving dinner (that is, of course, if Barber Foods offers turkey entrees).

  14. I’ve asked my husband, who comes up with great ideas, how to spice up a spagetti dish.
    Thanks so much.

  31. I floured up some cut up chicken breast, fried it up partially, added water and teriyaki sauce and seasonings, and put it over rice.

  40. I am always trying new recipes and ideas to make dinner interesting.A person can only eay so many meat and potatoes meals before they go stark raving mad.

  48. We have dinner boredom a lot. Last week it was chicken and rice. I tried to spice it up by putting some lemon in the rice, which helped some. It would have been best with some fresh herbs though.

  79. I am stuck with dinner boredom right now! I usually search for new recipes and try whatever jumps out at me and sounds good. I think the last time I did a french onion chicken strips recipe I found on a blog, it was so good and maybe even better left over (and I am not a fan of leftover chicken!).

  85. I put some pork in the crock pot an threw all the spices I had on it an then threw in some potatoes to cook on top,,was spicey but really good

  92. I used lemon yogurt instead of mayo to make tarter sauce. It was so yummy. The lemon and the tartness of the yogurt made the fish really stand out.

  127. We had a large roast that had been marked down, so we cut it into thirds and put it in the freezer- first meal we baked it- tougher than nails. What to do? I poured through recipe books and came up with a beef stroganoff recipe-worth a try. I thawed out a piece of beef, marinated it overnight covered with mayo, then cut the meat in strips and cooked it with mushrooms, onions in a sourcream gravy- poured over baked potato,…DELICIOUS!

  238. We don’t normally like hot foods but I have found that just a couple of drops of hot pepper sauce sparks up a lot of recipes.

  254. Nobody in the house likes fish, but a few nights ago I tried a salmon recipe and we actually liked it.

  280. the last time we suffered from dinner boredom, my husband went out and bought the ingredients to make chicken cordon bleu…

  282. The last time we had dinner boredom we decided to take a can of soup and add chicken and noodles to make it heartier.

  289. I’m not terribly handy in the kitchen but for some reason I had a lot of success with taking some leftover grilled chicken breasts and making a curried chicken salad. Everyone loved it! I’ve discovered that the key to a good chicken salad is some type of texture/crunch. Nuts, celery, green peppers, radishes…whatever you have!

  428. When we get bored with dinner I try out new recipes or new cuisine on my family. Such as a complete Japanese or French meal.

  459. I wish I could say that I was adventurous as you, however, we have an in-and-out burger within walking distance and unfortunately, I’ll usually cave and take my kids there!

  468. Popped some burritoes in the microwave, added salsa and sour cream and called it a night. sweepmorey at gmail dot com

  475. I made seasoning for chicken breast by chopping up sweet peppers, onion, cilantro, and other ingredients in a food processor. I used a tablespoon of the season to coat the chicken and cooked it in the frying pan instead of having plain chicken breast from the oven. I got the recipe from a friend and the seasoning really adds flavor to the chicken, plus the chicken is so moist.

  480. Last time I was stuck with dinner boredom, I gave my husband and daughter each a cookbook and had them pick a recipe or two.. it worked great and they made good choices. Definitely got us away from the “same old same old” routine.

  484. I searched the freezer and pantry, then conconcoted a dinner with products that I already had

  491. Last time we were hit with dinner boredom my hubby and I decided to try and recreate the Lebanese pita’s we get at Neomone, an authentic Mediterranean cafe down the street from us. They weren’t quite as good as theirs but it was a lot of fun mixing things together 🙂 Thanks for the great giveaway

  492. Tried to make something completely off the wall sometimes it would work out and sometimes it wouldn’t. Example i tried incorporating duck sauce into a meal because I wanted to try it and something different. That did not work too well at all.

  500. I usually mix up the meats in the same recipe…so if the recipe calls for beef, I will switch chicken and try something new

  510. Thanks for the giveaway…we grilled up some Tilapia & made homemade pico de gallo and make fish tacos.

  533. last time I had dinner boredom, i found some new recipes and started cooking…my cupboard has a lot of extra seasonings in there now

  535. I put my chicken marsala in the oven with broth, mozzarella and mushrooms and served it over rice for a wonderful change.
