Knowing that everyone who reads Chocolatecastles doesn’t live near a H‑E‑B, I still wanted to pass on some great finds.
Growing up in Corpus Christi, H‑E‑B wasn’t a big deal to us. They were everywhere and we just knew that we had a choice to shop there or go to Albertsons or KMart. (Yes I’m that old)
So when they began to pop up here in North Texas I really didn’t think too much about that. After all, what was the hype about? But then it opened…..what a difference! Each time we go we find more reasons to love it! Don’t get me started on the Mexican wedding cookies covered with cinnamon sugar! We almost eat the entire container on the way home!
But these newest finds are really something I just had to share. First of all store bought cookies are usually not my cup of tea, but on my,
And the Cowboy cookies…Randy fell in love with these so he eats those waiting on me to make his fav oatmeal cookies! Don’t tell our Dr!
So today when we were wondering what to have for lunch, I went to the pantry to look at what we had. There in the soup shelf was the new can of beef Taco soup from….you guessed it, H‑E‑B. What I want to tell you is this. Most tomato soups taste exactly the same. This taco soup was different and had such a great Mexican flavor I have not found in a canned soup. The other soup I have fallen in love with is HEB’s Cream of Poblano. I have used it In my enchilada sauce, in green chicken green chile soup and even just as a soup for lunch. Randy had the H‑E‑B brand of chile today. I crumbled up some tortilla chips in the bottom of the bowl, sprinkled sharp cheddar then poured the Chile over that. He said it was really good.
Have I realized what all the hype is about with H‑E‑B? You bet I have and always love our trips there to shop. Don’t forget to try their 1/2 corn 1/2 flour tortillas which you find on the International aisle! Makes great enchiladas!
