Easy Back- to-School Dinners

Hi, resident Mom here. Looking for Easy Back-to-School Dinners and a way to get your meal planning back on track? OH GOOD. Buckle up, buttercup. I’ve got you covered!

Here’s my background: my son is currently a junior in high school (gasp!). I’ve been momming for 17 years, and I know that it takes me a good month or two to find my groove again after the Summer. September feels like fresh notebooks, new pens, and new beginnings. I’ve left us a roadmap with all the easy dinner ideas you need to get through the first two months of school.

The key to surviving the school year is to make things easy. Build yourself a rotation and experiment with different iterations of the dishes. Build an arsenal to refer to. Speaking of…I created a binder system to keep track of my meals. Here’s a video and everything that’s included in my Meal Prep Pack!

You can also create a template for yourself of fixed dinner menus to make life easy.

Or use my template (it’s included in the meal prep pack)

Ok, let’s get you thinking about dinners.
