Easy Back- to-School Dinners

Easy Back-to-School Dinner recipes that keep the whole family happy—even on the busiest school nights.

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.   

Meal Prep Planning Pack from Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean.com- Find the printables on Etsy!

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. 

This may contain: a notebook with writing on it sitting on top of a wooden table

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

Templates to get you ready to meal prep and plan! The Handwriting Club- Tracy Benjamin

Ok, let’s get you thinking about dinners.
