New Campbell's Soup Flavors

It is extremely funny to me that groceries is one of the few things I actually enjoy shopping for yet most of the time I HATE shopping with my husband. Tiny Viking and I usually stay at home, unless I am restless to get out of the house and walk around. Anyway...

For a semi recent grocery trip, I gathered up coupons and made a list for things we wanted and needed. Tim went on his way and came back with more than I'd asked for! I wanted soup. And, WOW did he bring home soup! 

These are some of the NEW Campbell's soups I've tried now and what I think of them:

Healthy Request Grilled Chicken & Sausage Gumbo Soup. - The original Chunky version is one of my favorite soups EVER. This one was both way too spicy and very bland at the same time. Spicy in the sense that my mouth was on fire after two bites but everything I love about the original was just not there. I was very disappointed. Not sure what I'll do with the other two cans of it.

Soup on the Go Cheesy Chicken Tortilla. - I could eat this every day. I absolutely loved it. I really want to sing praises for this one but I think it can speak for itself. HIGHLY recommended!!

Soup on the Go Cheesy Potato with Bacon Flavor - One of the worst soups I've ever had the misfortune of trying. All I could taste with every sip was fake bacon flavoring. Maybe because I had such high hopes it made my disappointment in this one worse, either way a dozen or so sips was all I could handle and it just got dumped down the drain. Sorry Campbell's go back to the drawing board with this one.

For anyone curious the Soup on the Go flavors Chicken & Noodles and Cream of Chicken are very tasty as well. In the Chunky style I really enjoy their Steak & Potato and Fajita Chicken with Rice & Beans

I think I watch WAY too much Food Network! I critique everything I eat now. Soup is what's on my mind tonight. Hopefully this helps someone out there find new flavors to try!

No weight gain = stressed out momma

She slept with me in the bed and not in the bassinet last night, but we had our first sleep through the night! I count that as a victory! Two short bouts of wakefulness to eat and then back to sleep. Over eight hours worth!! She also slept a couple hours in the afternoon on my chest while we did a Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives marathon. 

Yes. Sometimes I co-sleep. Don't judge me. 


We had our week follow up and she didn't gain any weight. 

UGH. 

So we're going to up the supplementing and I'll keep trying to get my milk production to increase. This means I may have to either postpone going back to work a couple more weeks or just make up my mind to stay home with her and find other ways to help with the income. I did manage to mail off checks to get rid of two bills from the pile and one more gets paid tomorrow. So I feel accomplished there. 

Still need to get stuff together for her two month pictures before we reach 3 months!!
