The beginning of a new school year always brings a whole new adjustment for us trying to get used to being gone all day, squeezing in a good family dinner, and getting Jackson in bed on time. We’ve got a nice list of go-tos that we always break out on the nights where things are hectic and we need to get dinner on the table fast. Here’s a quick roundup of our favorites that tend to be on our table over and over – some take longer than others but most of the ones that take a longer time could easily be prepped the night before!
