Ah, August, the month all parents have been waiting for. While summer offers so many opportunities for family fun and making memories, it is nice to fall back into the routines of the school year that provide structure that many of us thrive on.
As we move back into the rhythms of the school year, planning out weekly menus becomes a task that we often don’t “love” but certainly offers us benefits. Dedicating time on the weekends to think through quick, but nutritious breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas will serve you well all week long.
