The Essential Role of Back to School Kitchen Prep

Back to school season is bringing back organization, ease, and efficiency to your daily routine as we dive into essentials that lead to healthier habits.

1. Keep your pantry and refrigerator well-stocked with all of your family’s favorites. Consider buying healthy snacks to keep your family’s energy up and their bodies running smoothly.

2. Establishing a snack station in your kitchen with easily accessible, healthy snacks will keep your kids geared up after school and allow you to focus on your tasks.

3. An organized refrigerator means less chaos and rushing to find items that you know you left on the top shelf (but somehow end up on the bottom). Keep your fridge organized and your life simple.

4. Generating a monthly or weekly menu can minimize the need to eat out and teach your kids organizational skills. Menus also make it easy to prep breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the week!

5. Whether it’s Taco Tuesday or Pizza Party Friday, utilizing simple meals and freezer foods can sometimes add simplicity to your life while still efficiently taking care of your family.

6. Ensuring you know how long food has been in your fridge or freezer not only helps you prep for what meals you plan on making that week, but also allows you to keep from eating spoiled foods.

Going back to school can be exciting, but getting back to a normal, healthy routine can set your family up for future success and a great lifestyle. Cheers to a happy and delicious year ahead!
