Last week my aunt sent me a letter with an old picture inside. It was my sister and I holding a plate of decorated cookies. That sure got me reminiscing; after school snack, bread making with mom, Saturday morning pancakes at my aunts, and good old Campbell’s Soup!
Perhaps it was my trip “home” to New Hampshire, or living so far from any family for the first time ever, but I’ve found myself extremely nostalgic lately. Dropping the kids off at school, I’ll catch a memory of my own elementary days of tag, cooties, and rhyming hand games. When the rain and thunder hits (which it did this week!), I head back to nights counting between lightning strike and thunder to calculate the distance with my dad.
Spring weather has come to North Dakota (Finally! Check out this meme to understand). It’s a bit more windy then winter was, but also much sunnier. It’s the perfect weather for running around outside, and overbooking yourself because you’ve been stuck inside a bit too long….or perhaps that’s just me. With us more on the go, I need quick and easy meals, but that are still tasty.
In my food reminiscing, I couldn’t help but think about the cans of Campbell’s we always had in the pantry. There were 3 specifics we could always count on – Chicken Noodle Soup, Tomato, and Cream of Mushroom. Then it dawned on me – I’ve never made Chicken Noodle Soup for my own kids, or my personal fave of Beef Stroganoff (the perfect Cream of Mushroom recipe).
With that in mind I headed out to Walmart to grab some Campbell’s, when lo and behold – Campbell’s Soups for Easy Cooking! Even better I thought, since one can isn’t quite enough to feed our family, and I prefer cooking mostly from scratch. I was excited to see they had the 3 perfect blends to match my childhood pantry – Creamy Herb and Garlic with Chicken Stock, Savory Portobello Mushroom, and Mexican Style Tomato.
