Back to school time has a way of kicking a family’s daily routine into high gear. Along with early morning alarms, homework, and after school activities, dinner—preferably a healthy one—needs to happen each day.
Some days, preparing a meal from start to finish just isn’t possible.
Grabbing food on the go is rarely a healthy option. Instead, cook in bulk ahead of time and freeze meals for those days when you have just enough time to heat and eat.
Casseroles
Ah the casserole! Most casserole recipes can be prepared up to the point of baking and then frozen for future enjoyment.
Some favorites I’ve made include Ina Garten’s Cauliflower Au Gratin—incorporating the delicious combination of gruyere and parmesan cheese. I also frequently make my mom’s breakfast casserole that includes really whatever you want but always eggs, cheese, onions, and breakfast sausages. Basically anything you'd put in an omelet can be added and the kids get a kick out of eating breakfast for dinner.
I am looking forward to trying Ree Drummond’s Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole next!
