My Texas Table August Newsletter - Back to School Ideas

Happy Monday friends!!!

Today was my youngest son's first day back-to-school. It's a bittersweet moment in our house having two kids that have graduated and one left in high school. I knew this day would come, but I can honestly say it sure did fly by. Last week was also my first week back to school & work (child nutrition), so there's been a lot of adjustments in our daily routine.

Since everyone is either back-to-school or soon to be heading back, I thought my August newsletter should be about all things Back-to-School! As your kids head back to another school year your schedules will go back to being a bit more hectic, so in today's newsletter, I will be sharing Lunch Box Ideas, Quick & Easy Breakfast Options and Simple Dinner Meals helping you ease back into your dinner routine. I hope y'all find something you like. ?
