Meal Planning: Back To School

Yup, it's that time again. Back to school. Ordinarily, this would be a happy time for parents. The kids will be out of the house, no longer eating them out of house and home, and back to a regular routine. Those were the days, right? But because of COVID-19, things are looking very different. Depending on where you are back to school may look very different for you this year. But however your "new normal" is looking in regards to Back To School, I'm here to help you make it as easy as possible.

Whether your kiddos are going virtual or hybrid, you will still need to feed them! No more just chilling out in the backyard or making a fast run through the drive-thru or firing up the grill because schedules are now different. This is where TS comes in and how it can help you to make meal time easy, delicious, and something the kiddos will love!

First up is Magic Chicken. What is Magic Chicken? It is a quick and easy dish that you make in the slow cooker and then you can then make a multitude of dishes just from this one batch. Here is a quick video to show you what I mean:

Another great way to save time and feed the kiddos are one pot meals. I personally love these types of recipes because less clean up for me! Who wouldn't love that? This recipe, One-Skillet Mama Mia Lasagna fits the bill as not only a one pot meal, but is ready in 30 minutes! Win win!

Looks pretty good, right? These are just a couple of quick and easy to make meals that can make back to school just a bit more stress free and budget friendly as well.
