As I’ve been going through my mom's old recipes and a few cookbooks that she cooked from often…there seems to be a recurring theme in a lot of them and it’s Campbell’s soup.

The thought of cooking with Campbell's soups transports me back to my childhood kitchen, where my mom made a seemingly endless array of comforting casseroles. From creamy chicken and rice to savory tuna noodle, Campbell's soups were often the go-to ingredient in many recipes. The simplicity of the recipes made them approachable, and they were actually pretty delicious! Using canned soups was definitely a trend that you’ll find in old church cookbooks from the era.

Recently, Campbell’s reached out to me and asked me to do a video with one of their creamy soups and I decided to recreate one of my favorites - a Mushroom and Rice Casserole. With only 5 ingredients (not including salt, pepper and garlic powder), this recipe came together really quickly and when I finally sat down to enjoy the dish, it was definitely a nostalgic moment.

I was born in 1963 and if you grew up in the same era, you may have some of the same memories of Campbell’s soups. The recipe is below and I hope you enjoy!

And a few outfit and gift ideas…

This is a cute and affordable holiday look…I purchased the skirt, sweater and earrings and I’m considering the boots. I was surprised to find the Jo Malone Myrrh and Tonka on Amazon!

This is a great look for a more casual holiday party! There are still some fun elements, but the individual pieces are very versatile! Everything is from Amazon with the exception of the cute little feather bag!
