plus it gave me an opportunity to have some of my friends over to see my new place...
...even though my kitchen isn't redone yet - so no judging me.
the theme of the party was wrapped in goodness, so in addition to the culinary creations lean pockets i also served white chicken chili, warm artichoke dip, meats and cheeses, hot buttered cider with spiced rum, veggies for good measure, and cookies including chai-spiced snickerdoodles and peppermint chocolate crinkle cookies.
but the real stars were the lean pockets, especially the 5 new culinary creations varieties:
- chipotle chicken
- chipotle bacon dijon
- spinach artichoke chicken
- garlic chicken white pizza
- grilled chicken mushroom and spinach
these new chef inspired creations are made of whole grain crusts with 8 grams of fat or less, and let me tell you something - you put these bad boys in the oven instead of the microwave and they are even better tasting.
it was a great evening full of tasty food and laughing till we cried at beaver's antics and filming for the flats.
so do you want to try the new culinary creations lean pockets for yourself? how about enjoying them for A WHOLE YEAR?
i'm giving away a year's supply of lean pockets!! i.e. 183 coupons for a free box of lean pockets, kids.
to enter simply leave a comment on this post telling me what you favorite lean pocket variety is - you can find a full list here.

- become a fan of lean pockets on facebook and tell me you did so in a comment.
i'll be announcing the winner of 366 lean pocket sandwiches a week from today, december 21st, so good luck!
{full disclosure: lean pockets provided me with snuggies, coupons to purchase and give out lean pockets to my guests as well as a sweet visa gift card for party supplies and a thank you for hosting. the opinions of lean pockets are my own, duh.}
I'd say the spinach artichoke chicken. I usually keep a box on hand for an emergency meal since it's <300 calories.
ReplyDeleteI'm boring. I like the Pepperoni Pizza ones.
ReplyDeleteI am also going to be boring. When I think pockets, I think Ham and Cheese. Period. End of story. Bubbling, contained melted cheese belongs with ham.
ReplyDeletethe quesadilla lean pockets are my favorite, but i also have to agree with craig because as much as ham sort of grosses me out, the gooey cheddar cheese and salty ham inside a flaky crust is enough to make me salivate like pavlov's dog at the sound of the microwave ding.
ReplyDeletehmm, i should be a spokesperson for lean pockets. new calling!
I love the Spinach Artichoke Chicken in the Whole Grain....but I too always think of Ham & Cheese when i think Lean Pockets! LOL I also just became a fan on Facebook. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of all of the Mexican style pockets!
ReplyDeleteI like Meatballs & Mozzarella. I am also a fan on facebook. And I tweeted. And, if I win, I will eat eat Lean Pockets every day for an entire year. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteOMG, garlic chicken white pizza for sure.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, it is a toss up between Ham and Cheese and the Turkey, Broccol, Cheese. I think Ham and Cheese slightly edges out the Turkey though. Both of which, I might add, are in my freezer as we speak.
ReplyDeleteAlso became a fan on FB. I don't think Lean Pockets knows how much I love them. I literally ate one every day for lunch while I was pregnant...no joke.
ham and cheese!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite would unquestionably be the Mexican Style! I could 366 of them throughout the year if given the opportunity ;).
ReplyDeleteI actually have become quite in love with the sausage, egg and cheese ones. They are so good!
ReplyDeleteI love the pizza flavored lava pockets, I mean, Lean Pockets. Yumm.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite would unquestionably be the Mexican Style pockets. I could eat 366 of them throughout the year if given the opportunity ;).
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the grilled chicken mushroom and spinach. Love, love all of the ingredients...the standards are good too, but my favorite just sounds healthy! Loved reading and seeing the pics...been waiting to hear all about your evening.
ReplyDeleteSpinach artichoke chicken!
ReplyDeleteSausage, egg, and cheese. Because, let's face it, I'm not going to put more effort into breakfast than microwaving something.
ReplyDeleteAlso, on an unrelated Snuggie note, I received the "Snuggie Sutra" as a Christmas present. Hilarious! Probably not appropriate for a Snuggie party, but you never know...
I tweeted about the contest, including your handle @clevelandsaplum and @lean_pockets! I also became of fan of lean pockets on facebook! Pick me :)
ReplyDeleteThe ham & cheese for sure. But I did really enjoy the Culinary Creations Garlic Chicken White Pizza the other night. Now I am hungry.
ReplyDeleteI actually love lean pockets. And I'm kind of coming around on the snuggie, too.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I think my favorites are the broccoli and cheese ones. Cheese is really just an all around winner.
spinich chicken artichoke! its how i learned I liked artichokes! Cus i thought they were just spinich and chicken.
ReplyDeleteyour new place is fannnnncy!
pizzeria on whole grain... i get my pizza, but don't feel like a cow due to the whole grain.

ReplyDeleteWhy are there no vegetarian Lean Pockets?! But also... do I care? My favorite is usually pepperoni, but I want to try that Chipotle Chicken flavor. Mmmm... 183 boxes of them.
ReplyDeleteHmmm I think i'm going to have to try that chipotle chicken flavor... it's been a million years since i had a hot pocket or lean pocket though!

ReplyDeleteHatchel
Three cheese and broccoli please!
ReplyDeleteJust tweeted about the contest! I really need to win one of your giveaways - I think this should be the one!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the spinach and chicken! Sounds really fun, but my favorite news anchor should have covered the story about this! http://lynnaluvers.com
ReplyDeleteMock me if you must - but microwavable food requires very little concentration and suits my short attention span. Making it slightly more-nutritious/less-junk-food is a bonus. Sign me up.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the new ones but will mow down a pepperoni pizza one after any night out and not feel bad about it in the least!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite lean pocket variety is the Italian Style Meatballs.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting!

I love the new chipotle chicken, but my fave is still ham & cheese. Simple, warm goodness. It is also the first food that brought my 14-year-old cat and new dog together... a bite for me, then a (cooled down) piece of ham for each of them, perched on either side of me. It was a significant milestone in our house!
ReplyDeleteAny of the Pretzel Bread Lean Pockets rock! ...also Lean Pockets snuggies! Hell yess!!
ReplyDeleteI want! I want! I want! Love the spinach artichoke chicken!
ReplyDeleteHot Pockets / Lean Pockets SUCK!!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.chefswidow.com/2010/12/21/hey-kids-want-some-disodium-inosinate-its-good-for-you-really-it-is/
I wonder how many people are eating lean pockets for christmas?
ReplyDeleteif they would start a line of meatless varieties, I might be able to have a favorite.
