This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carton Smart for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
So what does Be Carton Smart mean? Do you ever think about the number of canned goods we use and then toss the cans away? Over the course of our lifetime, the number has got to be staggering. That is why I was pretty excited to learn about Tetra Pak cartons. Tetra Pak carton packages are designed for maximum efficiency and environmental friendliness which is just one way to live smarter. I believe that if everyone makes small efforts to improve our world each day, those small efforts will eventually have a big impact.
Tetra Pak® cartons are made of 70% paper - a renewable resource, from selectively harvested and re-grown trees that are FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council). They also use 1/3 of the packaging compared to cans, and are space saving. I love that they are so easy to store (cans take up so much space!) and open, and keep your pantry neat since they are stackable and less bulky. Another huge plus is the cartons maintain the flavor and nutrients of food without the use of preservatives due to the unique packaging process.
Since the cartons are recycleable, they result in 60% less landfill waste than cans. AND, they are re-closable so you can use what you need and save the rest for later. No more using part of a can, then finding a storage container to put it in so it can be placed in the fridge. Less dish washing is always a bonus!
With all that in mind, wouldn't you consider using one of your favorite products, packaged in Tetra Pak cartons, for your holiday dishes?
Chicken stock is a staple in my house. I know I will be using quite a bit of it during the holidays (and all winter long...I love soup!)
You can also use chicken stock to make this turkey in the crock pot! This is the only way I cook a turkey breast and I love it!
And pumpkin...don't even get me started on pumpkin! If you follow my blog, you know how much! But this would make a great addition to the holiday table...
And cranberry sauce...no Thanksgiving meal is complete without it. Also, if you have leftover turkey and cranberry sauce, you should make one of these!
Monte Cristo Sandwiches. SO GOOD!
