Back to School Meals

It’s official the summer has ended and kids (both big and little) are back at their respective schools learning and growing. Those moments of frolicking at the beach or family cabin are now just memories in the rearview mirror. This is also a shift for moms and dads too, this new school routine means early mornings, packing school lunches, after school snacks and let’s not forget the main event at the end of the day - dinner! How can we pack the most nutrition into the food we prepare and serve our loved ones?

Meal planning in conjunction with your household schedule for the week can help with grocery shopping, deli pickup, etc. A few different ways to approach your at-home dinners nights

1. Entree nights such as choosing your main ingredient, but the preparation and flavors can be different each time. For instance: Monday is fish night, Tuesdays are for tofu and so on.

2. If you have children at home, mac-n-cheese Mondays and pizza Fridays may be a hit.

3. Theme your flavors on days of the week like Mediterranean Mondays, Tuesdays are for Mexican, Wednesdays are flavors from the Pacific, etc. Pro tip: Rasberrys spice blends found in the Bistro pantry.

4. Choose your method of prep for each night. Mondays could be no-cook with salads or only refrigerated ingredients, on Tuesday a crock-pot meal could be ideal or Thursday nights are for grilling.

5. Start your week off with a trip to Rasberrys deli each Monday. Pick up entrees, salads and sides that are fresh and season. A homemade loaf of bread, English muffins or a gluten-free treat are big hits too for hungry mouths. Call ahead for custom orders!

See you soon for lunch or a deli visit. We love seeing friends and hearing about what is new in your world. Be well!
