Let’s Forgo Manners and Lick The Plate
Let’s forgo manners and lick the plate! was recently said by my Sweet Boy at the end of dinner. Like many other women, I am a mom to slightly picky eaters. I love a recipe that’s quick, easy and inexpensive. I often rely on recipes that use Campbell's Cooking Soups as an ingredient. A fairly new feature I love is the Wisest Kid recipe section.
