I seriously struggle with getting a homemade dinner on the table, that was part of the reason that I started my blog. I wanted to discover and share inspiring ideas. That’s why I love figuring out shortcuts and trying new products. I probably seek out solutions more than I actually put them to good use, but here is a seriously good one that was worth trying and sharing. And, it surprisingly starts with a trip to Family Dollar and picking up Knorr Sides. Yes, I am serious! This is a sponsored post by Lunchbox, all opinions are my own.
Knorr Sides and Family Dollar can solve your daily dinner dilemma. It cooks in minutes and there are so many options to whip up a meal. It’s not only quick, but packs a lot of flavor so you don’ t have to spend your precious time and energy conjuring up ingredients. We have 5 million other things to get done in a day as it is!
I went to Family Dollar and took advantage of the Buy 3 Knorr Sides, Get One Free offer and stocked up for the excruciatingly busy week ahead. Thanks to the offer, I was able to quickly whip up some affordable meal ideas for my family like this Pumpkin & Corn Cheddar Soup that I’ll share the recipe of down below. All I added were a few extra ingredients along with the Knorr® Rice Sides™ – Chicken flavor and made an easy and inexpensive dinner my family and I all fell in love with instantly. Plus, this one is absolutely perfect for fall. You can even play around with the basic recipe and add things like cooked chicken or even sliced hot dogs to round it off.

- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 1 15 oz can of Corn Drained
