New Campbell’s® Fresh-Brewed Soup® Broth and Noodle Mixes are an easy, quick, and filling go-to snack option. #ad @campbells

Being the mama to a teenager and a toddler, I hear "I'm hungry" and "I need a snack" on a daily basis. The oldest comes home from cross country practice famished, and dinner won't be on the table for another hour. Or my youngest will be begging me for a less than nutritious afternoon snack because she is so hungry, but I would love to offer her a different (ahem, better) option for snack time. And then there is the whole time factor. Being a work at home and stay at home mom, I am constantly doing something- developing a recipe, emptying the dishwasher, editing recipe photos, making the meal plan for the week, and the list goes with very little down time. Having a few go-to snack options on hand that are filling, easy, and quick is just a necessity around here. That is why I am loving the new Campbell’s® Fresh-Brewed Soup® Broth and Noodle Mixes...

This delicious and satisfying Easy Cheesy Broccoli Chicken Soup takes just 5 ingredients and 25 minutes to make. A perfect busy weeknight dinner idea! @Campbells #ad

Some of my favorite weeknight dinner recipes all have five things in common-
  1. They are ready in 30 minutes or less, from start to finish.
  2. They require 5 ingredients or less to make.
  3. Need very little prep (if any at all) ahead of time. 
  4. They are made in just one pot or dish (ahem- easy & quick clean-up!).
  5. Everyone one in the family loves them.
Folks, this Easy Cheesy Broccoli Chicken Soup meets all five of those requirements. This has to be one of the easiest weeknight soups that I have ever served to my family, and it is all thanks to Campbell’s® Cheesy Broccoli Cheddar Oven Sauce. It just so happens to be the secret ingredient in this simple & satisfying soup recipe... ;)

A Weekend Lunch Made Easy

Pair @Campbells Organic Kids Soup with snowflake shaped grilled cheese sandwiches for a fast & fun weekend lunch. #ad

Being a full time food blogger, I usually end up doing quite a bit of cooking and baking during the week. The kitchen is my "office", so when the weekend rolls around I actually try to stay out of it as much as possible. ;) And weekend time also happens to be family time for me, so I still want to make a fun lunch that I can feel good about giving to my kids but that gets me out of the kitchen and at the table with them quicker. Cue one of my new favorite weekend lunch go-to's, Campbell’s® Organic Kids Soup! :)

Campbell’s® Organic Kids Soups are crafted from certified organic ingredients and contain no preservatives. (A soup that I can feel good about serving to my kiddos as part of a weekend lunch? Check!) And Campbell’s® nine delicious varieties of Organic Kids Soups can be ready in mere minutes. (A soup that gets me out of the kitchen and back to my weekend quicker? Check!)
Since my youngest is a huge fan of the movie Frozen, I decided to make her a special lunch this past weekend with Campbell’s® Organic Kids Soup featuring fun shapes from Disney's Frozen. And what better to go with a warm bowl of Frozen inspired soup than some snowflake shaped grilled cheeses to dunk in it? These snowflake grilled cheeses are so easy to make and so much more fun than boring ole grilled cheese sandwiches! :) You can even get the kiddos to help with making these (aka, even more quality family time together)...
