The holidays are coming up fast now that Halloween is behind us so its time to start thinking home cooked meals and what you are going to bring or make for the holidays.  This year I say try to be more Carton Smart.  The best way to do that is to Become Carton Smart .  Becoming Carton Smart means not only being aware of what kind of food you are consuming, IE organic, low fat, low sugar etc.  But also aware of the way your food is packaged.  I think the new green revolution will involved packaging.

TetraPak is one of the more exciting developments in the field of smart packaging.  Their packages are made of 70% paper, containing 1/3 the packaging of cans, of which take up 60% more landfill space then paper packaging.  TetraPaks are stack-able storable boxes which are easy to open and re-close once open.  The packaging itself keeps food preserved and flavorful without preservatives.

One of my favorite items to bring to big family meals and holidays are dessert and cranberry sauce.  I have to admit though I thoroughly enjoy the canned cranberry sauce so when trying out the new Pacific Jellied Cranberry Sauce I was a bit skeptical but will admit I was wrong.  for all the missed ridges and shape of the can shaped sauce, the box shape made up for it in flavor and the fact that there are no preservatives.

On to the actual dessert.  Cheesecakes are always a hit with the family.  The most interesting is Pumpkin cheesecake.  I decided to make mine this year with Pacific organic Pumpkin puree.

The result, awesome.  Yes it is early for holiday baking, but there has to be a a trial bake of something new and the husband and my son do not mind being guinea pigs for this particular experiment.

Make sure to check out Pacific foods other fine products including unsalted chicken stock which is great when making mashed potatoes.
