3 WAYS TO MINIMIZE BACKTOSCHOOL MEAL PREP STRESS
Family Features
Back-to-school often means a few “ugh”
moments for parents. From early wakeup
calls and forgotten lunchboxes to
extracurricular chaos, meltdowns at homework
time and picky dinner eaters, easy solutions in
the kitchen can help lighten the to-do list.
Turn those groan-worthy moments into “no big
deal” with Borden® cheese - a versatile protein
that adds both fl avor and fun to your meals.
Whether it’s shredded, sliced or in snack form,
cheese provides simple ways to help keep meal
prep stress to a minimum on school days.
Pack Lunches the Night Before
Preparing sandwiches, salads or wraps in advance
can streamline your morning routine and
ensure your family members have a nutritious
meal ready to take to school or work. A turkey
and cheddar sandwich will hold up well in the
fridge overnight. Add grab-and-go options like
string cheese, fruit or whole-grain crackers to
go with their favorite sandwiches to create a
balanced and satisfying lunch. Cheese sticks
also fi t perfectly in a pencil slot in backpacks to
combat hangry kids after school.
Rely on One-Pot Dishes at Dinnertime
One-dish dinners can be a lifesaver when trying
to balance packed schedules and get everyone to
and from their activities. With easy prep and only
a single pot or pan to clean up, you can cut down
on the time spent in the kitchen and enjoy more
moments with your family. Delicious and satisfying
one-dish recipes, like Skillet Chili Mac, elevate
a family favorite by adding Borden cheese.
Made with real milk from American dairy farmers,
it provides wholesome goodness you can
feel confi dent serving your family.
Embrace ‘Batch and Freeze’ Cooking
Instead of prepping a full week’s worth of
meals, focus on cooking large batches of a few
key components. For example, cheese serves as
a delicious protein in baked dishes that freeze
and reheat well for busy weeknights such as
lasagna or macaroni and cheese. Or freeze individual
servings of homemade burritos or quesadillas
fi lled with cheese and other family-favorite
ingredients.
