Frozen Pasta from Walmart Stores Recalled for Contamination

It is usually around this time of the year that my wife and I start thinking food ideas for the fall and coming winter in Montana.  It is also a huge time saver for us with our odd schedules and trying to still find some fun time in our evenings.

Of those meals, premade soups and chilis are always a favorite in our home; but with the temperatures being what they have, heating up our kitchen has kept us waiting to make those big batches up.  After seeing the recent recall at Walmart stores in our area and across the country, I am kind of glad we hadn't started yet.
