Last Friday we arrived home after spending amazing weeks in Ecuador. The weekend was much needed to catch up with sleep, grocery shopping at Walmart and conquer a big stack of mail. As I was putting the last suitcase away, I felt we were officially in school season. I mean, the kids’ school bell will be ringing in only two weeks!

Being back-to-school means busy schedules and be running from one place to another. Piano lessons, soccer practices, you name it… This is why meal planning is a life saver! It gives us stress-free evenings and saves us time, effort and money. It really helps our home to focused on quality time with familia! (Download a meal plan calendar here in English and Spanish)

During Back-to-School season, I like planning fun, easy and kid-friendly recipes where I can use products like Campbell Soup Company products that are delicious and could save us time in the kitchen. From soups to sauces, and snacks to beverages, for the past 146 years Campbell Soup Company products have been offering great flavor products that fuel our bodies.

For the toppings, the sky is the limit! I usually make sure to add assorted veggies and whatever I find in the pantry.
