Easy Back-to-School Dinners


Back to school means back to chaos

Most of us are back to school or in work mode routine, which means we can say goodbye to the lazy days of summer. No more last-minute dinner decisions or eating late; we need to have a schedule. Although the weekdays can be long, between the hours spent in school, after-school activities, and homework, meal planning should not occupy much time. We still need to keep things healthy and delicious, but meals should be a cinch to prepare. We have five great dinners that work well for busy people.

 

Easy Chicken Pesto Stuffed Peppers

By using rotisserie chicken and purchased pesto, this recipe can be assembled in a snap.

 
Instead of going out to dinner, buy good food. Cooking at home shows such affection. In a bad economy, it’s more important to make yourself feel good.
