Easy Mostaccioli Alfredo with Chicken Strips + Giveaway

Thank you Jewel-Osco for sponsoring this post. Check out the new Signature family of brands from Jewel-Osco, with more than 4,000 Signature products available and a 100% money-back guarantee.

Those of you who read all my posts know how this year has been full of changes for our family. I went back to work full-time after staying at home since my first child was born; we changed churches and schools; we moved to a new house; and in June, we are moving cross-country away from family and friends to begin our lives in a new ministry, a new school, and a new house. That will be two moves of schools, churches, ministries, houses, and jobs in less than a year!

These changes would be overwhelming to anyone. How can we keep sanity and normalcy in our lives? I do not promise to have all the answers, and there have been days that have been hard; but the one habit that has helped our family to be able to weather all the changes is having family dinners together. 

Family mealtimes are a crucial time for us all to come together, talk, and find some calm in our day. As we eat some of the same meals that we have always eaten, life doesn’t seem so different. We are healthy, all together as a family, and we have food on our table. Life is good!

However, cooking for those dinners has also proven to be a challenge for me this year. Grocery shopping has been streamlined. One store usually has to suffice for the week. Easy meals are a must. Yet we have seen that the easiest meals are the favorites, and that the family dinners are worth the time spent making our dinners possible. 

Since I now shop at only one store each week for groceries, I was excited to hear about the NEW Signature line which is available exclusively at Jewel-Osco in my area. It includes more than 4,000 items – from coffee to juice, soup to cereal, fresh produce to fried chicken, and delicious prepared foods to trusted home staples – all with a 100% money back guarantee.

I wanted to make our favorite Alfredo recipe as it is so quick and easy to make, and I was able to get almost all the ingredients I needed just from the Signature line of products. I bought chicken breasts, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, mostaccioli pasta, and bread crumbs that were all Signature products.

If you don’t live where there is a Jewel-Osco, don’t worry! Signature products are carried by all 18 banners of the Albertsons Companies family of stores. They are exclusive to Albertsons Companies family of stores and provide all of their customers quality they can trust at an exceptional value.

See how I used Signature products to make Alfredo with Chicken Strips:
