Quick Recipes for the Busy family!

Everyone I know is always on the go. Kids school programs, after school games, work, extra curricular activities. You know the drill. But everyone I talk to has the same thing in common. They try as much as possible to make dinner at home that's delicious, but not time consuming. Dinner time, especially for my family is when we're all at home and can all squeeze in some family time and relax and enjoy good food. Here's some great recipes that are delicious, home cooked, and taste like you spent hours when all you need is at the most 30 minutes.
These great recipes come from Campbell's website. http://www.campbellsauces.com/
Campbell's offers so many amazing recipes that are quick and easy. I've made several for my family including the chicken pot pie. All you need for this recipe is a can of biscuits, each raw biscuit being cut in half and rolled out to a layer of dough. Place in a non-stick muffin pan and pour in Campbell's Chunky Pub Style Chicken Pot Pie Soup, fold over dough and pinch together. Bake at 350 deg. for 8-10 minutes. One can of dough makes 16 individual mini pot pies. Or make a big pot pie pouring the soup and layering Crescent rolls on top and baking at 350 degrees until the layered crescent rolls on top are done.
Another easy meal idea get 2 cans Campbell's Chunky Beef & Bean Roadhouse Chili cans pour into baking dish and make a box of cornbread mix...your preference, but maybe Jiffy cornbread mix. Pour over chili. Bake at 350 degrees until cornbread is done usually 20 minutes or so and for an extra add on sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top. Delicious!
These are just a few ideas. Quick simple and cost effective meal ideas for any size family. My kid's love all the meals we've tried using The Campbell's SKillet sauces Creamy Parmesan Chicken was a favorite for sure. Also the oven sauces and if you don't have time in the evening use your slow cooker in the morning so a good hot meal is ready for the evening. They have a variety of great slow cooker sauces from Campbell's and tasty recipes on their website like Tavern Style Pot Roast and a few others.
Thanks to being a part of the Crowdtap Campbell's Taster's group I was sent out many of the products to review free. Definitely check out all Campbell's has to offer and they have coupons on their site as well to make an already affordable dinner using Campbell's even more affordable. Happy Cooking with Campbell's!

Definite Must Have for EVERY Home!

It's that lovely time of year. Colder weather and family and friends together celebrating the holidays! What could go wrong? Oh yea...it's also flu season. Snow on the ground and that cold frosty air can certainly bring on more than just holiday cheer.
Don't get me wrong I always have tissues on hand. i have kids and allergies, and kids that have allergies too. My favorite brand to keep on hand is Kleenex. Can we talk about it!? The design on the boxes are awesome! They have holiday ones and many colors and patterns. There's a design for everyone's taste and not to mention the many styles and variety of packs the Kleenex Brand tissues come in. There's different size packages and packs to go. Totally handy to have in your purse or car. Especially if you'll be traveling this holiday season. Heck, even if you're just taking a trip to the grocery store. Tissues come in handy in many ways.
Now, down to the nitty gritty of why I like Kleenex Brand tissues. They're perfectly sized. They're so soft and absorbent. If you have kids you know they can sometimes be little messy or snot factories. Those little noses can blow out some mean sized snot! Kleenex doesn't disappoint. No tear or wet hands after a massive nose blow of mucous. Like many out there I have somewhat sensitive skin and when I get a cold I tend to get red especially from blowing my nose and having to wipe it so many times. Kleenex doesn't irritate my skin and it's so soft my nose doesn't get all raw and sensitive from wiping it.
Kleenex also has many varieties of tissues to choose from. Not just size-wise! Kleenex also came out with an Anti-Viral Kleenex. It kills the spread of the virus by 99.9% of cold and flu viruses.  Way to go Kleenex! Big sanitized high five for this product! They also have cool touch tissues that are, you guessed it, cool to the touch. Then of course my personal favorites that are in our home year round..the Kleenex Brand tissues with lotion and the Kleenex Ultra soft. Extra soft and absorbent.
Holidays may be coming to an end, but school will be back in session and colds and flu virus are always around. Be prepared and pamper yourself with Kleenex Brand tissues.
