It’s the season for comfort food and spending quality time with friends and family. Sharing four brands that make entertaining at home easy! Enjoy a cozy night in with loved ones or elevate your next gathering with these yummy meal ideas.

One of our family food staples: HUMMUS! 

Sabra Hummus is smooth and creamy while also having a delicious flavor. Made with nourishing ingredients, like chickpeas, garlic and tahini, Sabra Hummus is a versatile craveable snack everybody in our house enjoys. 

We add Sabra Classic Hummus to charcuterie snack boards, as an easy appetizer at family gatherings and just as a yummy dip for snacking!

For those of us with a more daring palate, Sabra Spicy Hummus is a snackable dip that hits the spot with a kick. Perfect for watching the game or hanging out with friends. Click HERE for more Sabra varieties and recipe ideas!

Roland foods is a premium brand that has been in business for 85+ years and imports specialty ingredients from all across the world. With their recent rebrand, Roland Foods new packaging is fun and colorful with illustrative packaging labels. 

Their products are great for home cooks and chefs who want to elevate their home dinner recipes or enjoy hosting and entertaining guests with unique menu options.Their new fig jam and truffle oils are sourced from Italy. 

Roland® Fig Jam is made with five simple ingredients imported from Italy. Made with 65% figs, acacia honey and no high fructose corn syrup.

Use in a charcuterie snack board with cheese, crackers, nuts and fruit. It also pairs well with muffins, biscuits and toast as a quick, delicious breakfast spread. More details HERE

Roland® Organic White Truffle Oil is made with extra-virgin olive oil and infused in a mildly peppery oil with truffle aroma. Pieces of organic white truffle are included in every bottle. 

This Organic White Truffle Oil pairs well with pasta, soups and roasted vegetables. Here’s the recipe for the Gnocchi Truffle Alfredo I made (it was delicious!). More ideas using truffle oil HERE

We have family movie night once a week and always settle in with a bowl of fresh popcorn. ACT II microwavable popcorn has the best value with delicious flavors.

Bring the heat and elevate your movie night with NEW ACT II Hot & Spicy microwave popcorn. ACT II Hot & Spicy popcorn has fluffy, 100% whole-grain kernels that pop with a bold and spicy flavor and builds with every bite. 

I enjoy spicy flavors but my son does not. He complains that garlic salt is “too spicy”. lol BUT he actually liked ACT II Hot & Spicy popcorn!

It’s just hot enough to give you a kick but not too strong to over power the buttery goodness. If you know someone who likes spicy foods, I highly recommend sharing this new flavor!

At the end of a long busy day, I don’t always have time or the energy to prepare a hearty meal. For those days, Banquet frozen meals come to the rescue! 

They have a wide selection of classic dishes the whole family will enjoy. Banquet MEGA Meals offer larger portions of your favorite foods, for when you’ve really worked up an appetite.

Banquet Country Fried Chicken MEGA Meal has a delicious country flavor with white meat chicken patties topped with southern gravy. This dish is accompanied with a side of bacon mac & cheese. So flavorful!

Banquet Country Fried Chicken MEGA Meal is a generously portioned meal with 30g of protein. It’s sure to satisfy a comfort food craving. 


As a busy, last minute cook, I really appreciate that it’s ready in the microwave in minutes! For more freezer meals and recipe ideas Click HERE

We love to entertain and have people over and just eat good food. I really enjoy making charcuterie snack boards for friends and family. It’s so helpful to have these quick snack and meal options.
