Not only are these meals school night friendly, but they’re freezer-friendly as well. They give you a safe place to land on those days when you’ve forgotten to thaw something, turn the slow cooker on or just can’t adult anymore. Rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles are sides that will go with one or more of this week’s recipes. Make a few batches of one or two of them, store them in the fridge, and you’ll have a complete meal put together in less time. We want your back-to-school transition to be as easy as possible with these weeknight dinners.
