Libby's Gift Basket Giveaway

Libby’s Fruits and Vegetables, is all about celebrating family around the dinner table and what a better time to celebrate good food and good family traditions than Christmas time?  Libby's Fruits and Vegetables has been a staple in many homes because of their flavor and quality.  I grew up on Libby's Fruit Salad...my sister and I used to fight for the cherries.  True story.

One of my favorite family traditions is actually not eating the meal itself, but preparing the meal.  The kitchen is packed with the women in my family, aunts, my mom, my grandmother before she passed, and any cousin old enough to be interested.  We'd sit around the table and listen to the chatter of women who seemed like a fish in water in the kitchen.  Their movements were seamless as they stirred and basted, chopped and measured.  That was always my favorite part of the holidays, listening to women who had taken part in creating that traditional holiday meal that everyone loved so much.  I can't wait to create those memories for my own family.

Libby's Fruits and Vegetables is a part of that holiday tradition.

Here's a recipe you can use with your own family this year:

While turkey cools, make vegetables. In large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil. Add garlic and ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add green beans and carrots, sauté for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from pan.

Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil. Add sesame seeds and sauté for 5 – 7 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently.
