Disclaimer – I was compensated for writing this post by Prego®. However, all opinions expressed within are, as always, my own. Back-to-school means back-to-craziness. Getting into a routine is always a family goal but, with my children going in different directions after the school day dismisses, often the idea of a home-cooked dinner can be the first to fall by the wayside.
