as those of you with kids know, it's really hard to get out of the house with a little one. i have found that it takes careful planning just to go to the post office, let alone shop for groceries. in college (i went to byu-idaho) in such a small town where most college kids didn't have a car the local grocery store would let you shop, and then they would deliver your groceries (which was good, since i usually would walk to the store). in this time of my life and i found that it was hard enough to get out of the house, let alone have to haul in all my groceries from my car to my apartment i searched for delivering options. my new hero: www.albertsons.com i bet you didn't know that they deliver. they do, for only $10. so now i can take care of my little guy and have my food delivered straight to my apartment and i can focus on other things.

lately robby's work schedule has been crazy and i never know when he will be home, so planning dinner has been hard. this soup can be thrown together last minute and it's delicious. robby said a couple of times how good it was last night. it's easy, and it's only cans so you can keep all the ingredients on hand for when you need a quick easy dinner.
