I've used Clara Ole products ever since I can remember. For example, there's a nice hack of my favorite CPK Kung Pao Spaghetti you can make using Clara Ole's kung pao pasta sauce. Just open a packet, mix in a few ingredients like chili peppers and shrimp or chicken, and you have a gourmet dish in an instant. Clara Ole has a whole range of goodies like ready-made pasta sauces, salad dressings, dips, marinades and jams to make it easier for busy moms like me to prepare meals that still exude the aura of being 'home-cooked.'
