The kids are going back to school which means many of us will be struggling to adapt to a new schedule. Trying to get back into a “normal” routine may take a few weeks to master.

We get home late almost every single weeknight once again this year.  Jeb has football practice that runs from 6 – 8 at least two nights per week. The other nights are filled with tutoring which gets us home around 7. Jake’s swim practice ends earlier…but I still have to find time to pick him up. As you’d imagine, dinnertime is often rushed between activities or takes place super late. While not ideal…sometimes we are eating around 8:30 at night.

For the late meals, my menu has to be extremely quick and easy. Those nights, I use my slow cooker or prep early in the day so I can whip up dinner fast. Convenience is the key to getting my family fed so that we can make this crazy schedule work!

I always have plenty of frozen veggies on hand and I recently restocked my supply of Veetee Rice. It’s my favorite shortcut for a simple side that I just heat and serve for perfectly cooked rice that I can have on the table in just minutes. I pull out all my tricks in order to keep my sanity while I get used to this new back-to-school schedule!
