Meal Planning Monday: BACK TO SCHOOL Edition

You guys, it’s BACK TO SCHOOL WEEK!!!

Whether I love it or not, our school is starting this first full week of August (on Thursday!), so I better be ready.

This year, we have TWO high school students, a middle schooler and a fourth grader.  I can hardly believe it.

Today, I’m extra caffeinated, getting extra organized and I’m extra pumped for this new school year.

As always, I’m kicking off BACK TO SCHOOL WEEK with a special edition of our MEAL PLANNING MONDAY.  We typically eat the same favorite meals the first week of school.  They’re all simple to make and remind the Shull family of the start of a new school year.  I really think your family will love this menu too!

From my home to yours, here’s wishing you a wonderful back to school season!!

It wouldn’t be back to school week without Andrea’s Pulled Pork!

I know I share this Simple Sausage, Peppers & Onions recipe all the time, but my kids LOVE it!!  I have started doubling the recipe because my people eat so much.  Try it this week too!

My Easy Weeknight Wiener Schnitzel is one of my kids very, very, very favorite dinners!!  It’s the perfect meal for back to school week!

Every year on the first day of school, we eat lasagna, and this year will be the same!  Whether your family needs a gf version like THIS ONE or not, all you have to do is simply substitute the noodles.  Easy as that!

Finally, wrap up your week with my Sloppy Joe Bowls! They’re one of my family’s favorite meals to kick off the school year!

Need a bonus recipe or two?!

We always make my Maple Sausage Balls on the first day of school for breakfast!!  Friends, they’re so good!  They can also be made in advance too!

And the first week of school wouldn’t be complete without peanut butter cookies.  These four ingredient, super simple Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies need to be on your menu!

Happy first week, friends!! xx
