It's hard to believe that July is almost over and Back-to-school is just a few weeks away, unless you have a kid in Marching Band like me, then you are already back! You see, marching band kids start school two weeks earlier. The practice 8 hours a day rain or shine. With the horrendous heat wave that's plaguing our region, I'm always concerned about my kid passing out due to the oppressing heat. He is required to bring lunch and a one gallon jug to school everyday, so making sure he stays hydrated and eats healthy is a must, but that's just half of the battle. When a marching band kid comes home they are basically crawling through the front door and they are hangry! Yes, hangry, a mix between angry and hungry to the point of starvation. So this savvy mom always have a quick, easy and kid friendly recipe that saves the day.

Now, if you love shopping at Walmart like I do, for a limited time they are offering online coupons that you can print at home to help you save on great Campbell products for back-to-school. Some of the coupons you can print are:

• Pace® Picante Sauce: What I love about Pace Salsa is that it provides a variety of options to add to your meal rotation. Pace® Picante Sauce adds a kick of flavor that never disappoints to snacking and meals. It has a genuine South West flavor that everyone loves.

• V8® Fusion® + Energy (Aisle 15): V8 + Energy is a good alternative to the unhealthy options your kids are currently grabbing to get through the day (soda, coffee, snacks). V8 + Energy is a great way to help achieve a healthy lifestyle, while still being an easy option to grab and go. It tastes like fruit, it's nutritious, offering a combined serving of fruit and vegetables (only 50 calories per 8oz serving) and most important is a refreshing energy drink powered by natural green tea. I have a recipe for an energy cream based sorbet using V8® Fusion® + Energy that will blown your mind because of how easy it is (no ice cream machine required). In our recipe we use V8® Fusion® + Energy in Raspberry Vanilla and it gives the sorbet a great taste. Because we also use sweet condensed milk in our recipe the best way I can describe the flavor is that it will taste like a raspberry cheesecake. It reminds me of the "mantecado y frambuesa piraguas" or "raspados de nieve" (snow cones) back in Puerto Rico. So good!! 

• Campbell’s® Chicken Noodle Soups. Soups that taste great and nourish the entire family. You can put your own twist and add your favorite garnishes to make it special for YOUR family. I love adding sliced avocados and a touch of fresh lemon juice!! My kids go above that and topped it with those tortilla strips you use for salads, yum!

• The sweet + savory Italian American flavor of Prego® Italian Sauces (Aisle 11). The better tasting Italian Pasta sauce. A familiar and comforting sauce to serve your family, that you know they will like every time. I like to simmer my meatballs in Prego® sauce instead of frying them of putting them in the oven. Continue reading below and check out our kid friendly recipe using the traditional Prego® Italian Sauce that can be prepared days ahead to help you save time!
