School mornings are in full swing in our house. I am always looking for quick and filling breakfasts that the kids and I will love. I really try to avoid the last minute bowl of cereal for breakfast every day. This baked oatmeal is hearty and full of cinnamon flavor. It can be made in advance and kept in the fridge. In the morning, just heat a piece in the microwave for a few seconds, top with a sprinkle of brown sugar, some nuts, and a splash of cream for a warm and hearty breakfast!​

School lunches have changed so much from when I was a kid. Lunches used to consist of a PB&J, some fruit, and maybe a bag of chips. By the time it was ready to eat lunch, the apple had crushed the sandwich and the chips!

However, I don’t have a lot of time to prepare as a busy mom, so these easy back to school lunch ideas can be a real help.
