3 Quick and Easy Back to School Meal Ideas

3 Quick and Easy Back to School Meal Ideas

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.

It’s that time of year. Back to school season is upon us. And I know for my family it is always a hectic busy time, as I’m sure it is for most of you.

Especially if you have students going to school for the first time or kids at different schools. Car lines seem to take forever and we could all use some help when it comes to meal prep during the busy back to school season.

I’ve got 3 delicious quick & easy kid friendly back to school meal ideas to help you meal plan and keep everyone happy and fed!

Jus Rol 

Jus Rol products are premade doughs, refrigerated and ready to use. They come pre-rolled on baking paper for easy prep and quick clean up. 

Jus Rol dough is Made in the USA with the finest US and imported ingredients. They are non-GMO and include no high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors/colors or bleach flour. A bonus, all products are vegetarian.

We made kid’s mini pizzas for lunch with the Jus Rol Round & Thin Pizza Crust. It's so convenient to just unroll the dough and get prepping. 

I cut up our dough in little pieces for pizza muffins and it was so easy and mess free to transfer to the pan from the baking paper. But you can put it directly into the oven to bake, making transfer to the pan quick and clean up easy. 

My daughter helped decorate the pizzas with our favorite toppings and it was a special mommy & me moment together.

I want to try the ready to bake flaky Jus Rol Puff Pastry Dough for homemade pop tarts next! Just unroll, get creative and bake some extraordinary pastries - sweet or savory. 

You can make anything with Jus Rol products, appetizers, entrées or desserts. What would you create?

Farin’ UP

I really enjoyed these fun Farin’ UP breakfast mixes. They come in a resealable pack, with an easy to pour lid for perfect measurements. You can continue to store in the pantry even after it’s open. 

The instructions are simple and easy to follow. I really appreciate that you don’t need a lot of extra ingredients to make these dishes.


Make tasty french crepes for breakfast with Farin’ UP French Crepes Mix. All you need to add is milk and homemade crepes are ready in less than five minutes!

My son loved adding his favorite toppings to his crepes: chocolate spread & strawberries.Yum! So many delicious variations you can make with crepes! 

The Farin’ UP Protein Balls Mix was quick and easy to make. Just add water and honey to the mix, stir and roll into balls. They are ready to eat! No baking!!

We love protein balls for an easy, on the go breakfast or snack. This is a plant-based non-GMO mix with natural ingredients. A healthy fruit and nut blend with almonds, black currants and cranberries.
