I received product and compensation as a Jimmy Dean First Tasters participant. All opinions are my own.
School starts in just over a week here in South Florida, and some schools around the country are already in session. Where did the summer go? I could have sworn that the final school bell just rang last week! As we gear up for a busy back to school season, with after school activities, loads of homework, sports practices and club meetings, it's time to take a look at some quick and easy meal options that won't leave the family sitting the fast food drive through. That's where Jimmy Dean Delights and Bowls come in!
With the new Jimmy Dean line of meal options, all of your bases are covered: hefty after-school snacks for those ravenous teenagers, quick lunch options for busy moms on the go, and easy dinners when the family is pulled in a million different directions, without the opportunity to sit around the family dinner table together.
A few of the tasty options from Jimmy Dean include:
Smoked Sausage Sandwich - All the ingredients you love in one sandwich. Savory sausage with peppers, onions and provolone cheese on a soft country bun makes the day a little brighter.
Delights Pulled Pork Sandwich - Get a round of applause from your taste buds with savory pulled pork in a chipotle BBQ sauce on a soft pretzel bun. Savor two for 300 calories.
Delights Smoked Ham Sandwich - Enjoy two ham and cheese sandwiches on pretzel buns for 290 calories. Because two hams are better than one.
Hickory Smoke Turkey Breast Sandwich - Delicious turkey, bacon and sharp cheddar cheese all on a soft country bun can add a smile to your food break.
The Hickory Smoked Turkey Breast Sandwich was so good, and totally filling too! I popped one in the microwave the other day for a quick lunch while Angeline ate the Delights Pulled Pork Sandwich - we were both much more satisfied than we would have been with fast food on that busy day while we were packing up to leave for our family vacation!
Of course, it's not all about sandwiches from Jimmy Dean! There are also plenty of the breakfast items we all know and love, as well as Jimmy Dean bowls, which are a complete meal and perfect for lunches or dinners. I love items like this on busy days, and they are perfect for those who want to take a great lunch with them to work so that they don't have to go out to eat. You can save so much money by bringing your own lunch to the office, and with Jimmy Dean meal options, you don't need to sit there eating a cold cold cuts sandwich or salad. You can have a hot meal just like you would at home!
Some of the Jimmy Dean Bowls perfect for lunch or dinner are:
Grilled Steak Bowl - Savory grilled steak, golden potatoes, peppers and onions. YUM!
Smoked Bacon Mac and Cheese Bowl - Smoked bacon and mac & cheese, really, can you think of a better combo?
Pulled Pork Bowl - Sweet and tangy, this delicious pulled pork smothered in BBQ sauce has golden potatoes to round it out and make it a complete meal, whether it's lunch or dinner!
Golden Roasted Chicken Bowl - Dude. This is SO GOOD, with golden roasted chicken with golden potatoes, peppers and onions!
Jimmy Dean is introducing sixteen frozen varieties to their line, including eight sandwich options and eight bowl options. Among the new offerings are eight varieties that are part of the Delights by Jimmy Dean line of products with 300 calories or less, which I think are fantastic for those of us who are trying to watch our weight!

These all look so good! We have baby 2 on the way and I know I will need quick, filling, healthy meals that are easy for me to make just to make it through some days! I will have to pick some of the turkey sandwiches up for sure!
