 This is a very common soup among Mexican families. You can find a variety of these pasta packages in the Mexian/Hispanic food aisle and they usually cost anywhere between .25 cents - .33 cents per 7oz bag. This meal cost me about $1.50 and makes about 4-6 servings. You can even freeze it in small microwaveable containers to use later.
Add Comment  One of the easiest ways to get young children to eat more fruits is to puree them. Applesauce is one of the few purees that I made for my baby and it isn't very difficult. I would recommend this to anyone who, like me, has a child that doesn't like to chew her food before taking another bite. Fortunately for me she likes applesauce.
 I call this bowtie pasta even though the box says Farfalle because well, it looks like a bowtie! Plus it just sounds more fun to say bowtie :) Hope your little ones like it. I didn't include any additional pictures because it's only a four ingredient recipe. Five if you count the salt. It's simple.
 Well, the good news with these is that they weren't a total disaster, and my 2-year-old even ate an entire roll. I can't tell you how many I ate. It would just look bad. Ok, I ate about 4......out of 12. That doesn't sound so bad now when I think about how many there were to begin with. Anyway, bad news...they weren't as good as I thought they would be. Although they were edible and we ate all of them, there wasn't that WOW or OMG I can't wait to make them again factor. The first batch was the worst because I didn't dice the strawberries and I used plain cream cheese as the paste agent. The second batch (shown here) were much better. The strawberry cream cheese made a big difference! Also, I wasn't a big fan of the pre-packaged crescent rolls. I plan on making the dough myself next time. The best part about this recipe though...was watching my 2-year-old having fun helping me make them. That's one of the best things about this recipe. It's fun and safe for young children.
