School nights are busy, especially during that first month back! Finding easy ways to save time and effort can help make the entire week run smoother.
Robert Davison, owner of Langley’s M&M Food Market, shares his top picks for easy weeknight meals that are sure to keep both kids and parents happy this back-to-school season.
“Parents these days already have a lot on their plates, between helping kids with homework, getting them to after-school programs and trying to carve out a few moments of peace at the end of the day. Keeping a few easy weeknight meals on hand is a great way to prevent mid-week splurges on takeout while still providing a convenient dinner solution,” Davison says.
