75 Quick and Easy Back to School Recipes

A comprehensive list of 75 Quick and Easy Back to School Recipes to feed even the pickiest eaters.

I’m always excited for back to school time because even though they may not readily admit it, my kids really crave routine. And after a few sporadic weeks of summer camps and vacations surrounded by weeks of really not much to do beyond play at the pool and have a few more play dates than normal, my whole family is beyond ready for school to start. Of course with routine comes lots of hectic evenings that I have to fit dinner into every night. So recipe collections like these are a life saver. 

These 75 Quick and Easy Back to School Recipes include Instant Pot recipes, Crock Pot recipes, some one pot meals and casseroles, chicken, beef, pork and even vegetarian and vegan recipes. This collection has it all so be sure and PIN it to your dinner boards for easy reference throughout the school year.
