Hey Reader!

​

School is back in session, but dinner doesn’t have to be another homework assignment. This week’s meal plan is built for busy families — fast to prep, full of flavor, and sure to get smiles from both little kids and big kids. Don't have kids in school? This menu is still fantastic for sharing with friends or Sunday Supper.
