I had the opportunity to taste Chicken Tuscany. Growing up eating real Italian food which included Chicken soup, I admit that was hesitant to give this a try. I really enjoyed it though and ate the whole can for dinner last night. It was delicious. The addition of Great Northern Beans was almost as good as Cannellini beans and I thought the spinach was escarole. Though not perfect, it is a very good substitute, especially when you can just open a can instead of having to prepare and cook it.

I usually don’t eat the celery from any canned soup, but this had the real taste of the vegetable I enjoy. Each spoonful was full of chicken, beans, carrots, tomatoes, etc. It wasn’t overly salty either and was hearty enough for a meal for me. (I did eat a late lunch, so maybe adding a salad will be better.)

Adding fiber to your diet is something we all need to do. Eating something delicious and easy to prepare like Progresso High Fiber Soup makes it something I don’t have to think about. Having soup as a meal is a fun family tradition to start. You can work together with your children on preparing fresh fruit for dessert and talk about good foods.

I loved watching it over and over because it shows how adorable babies are. They make grown people talk in sing song syllables. I like to smell their sweet heads, look in wonderment at their wrinkled elbows and knees and snuggle with their Barney Rubble feet. They make me swoon when I hold them, get to cuddle them, even burp them.

I found some quotes about babies that say so much:

“Babies are such a nice way to start people.” by Don Herrold

“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” by Elizabeth Stone

“A new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.” by Eda J. Le Shan
