School is almost in session and things are about to get crazy. The long, lazy summer days are over and it’s time to get back to the grind.

Sloppy Joe’s without all the mess!
This is a super easy crock pot meal. If you are not a fan of Dr. Pepper (but you should be!) You can also sub out for Coke instead. It feeds a crowd so think about all the great leftovers you’ll have. Makes a great lunch the next day too.
Meatloaf Muffins with Potato Frosting
Fun bite sizes that kids will love!
A yummy gluten free meal Chinese takeout style dinner!
This is easy to make ahead and heat up right before dinner time. You can leave off the green onions for kids!
Buttermilk Ranch Chicken Tenders
Easy to make and make great leftovers.
Teriyaki Chicken and Veggies
A healthier stir fry that kids will love!
We hope this helps with your meal planning. Happy Back to School time!
