Back to school: The Go-to Products Every Parent Should Keep on Hand This Season
As back to school season approaches, parents everywhere are prepping for the most hectic time of year, one filled with schedule changes, transitions, and plenty of growing pains to go around. And with new notebooks, picture day outfits, and backpacks to pick out, mealtime can often get lost in the shuffle and left to the last minute. With stressed-out parents and cranky kids, it’s easy to feel like the only way to keep your family fed — and your sanity intact — is to head straight to the nearest drive-thru.
But with this shopping list, there’s no need to dread mealtime — in fact, parents everywhere can rest easy by stocking their kitchens with a couple of key go-to items guaranteed to please every member, mood, and taste preference in the family. Whether you’re packing lunchboxes or making weeknight dinners, keeping these two staples in the house is the ultimate back-to-school hack for easy eating. You’re welcome, parents. Now, if there was only a solution this easy for bedtime…
Noosa yoghurt
Think you know yoghurt? noosa will make you think again, because you’ve never had yoghurt quite like this. With a recipe originally from Australia and now made daily on a farm in Colorado, noosa’s real fruit, wildflower honey, and fresh whole milk combine for a delicious taste and velvety texture unlike any other product on the market.
But it’s not just the ingredients and taste that sets noosa apart from other yoghurts; noosa is also available in a range of delightfully surprising flavors, like strawberry rhubarb, salted caramel, blueberry, and coconut. In addition to the original “classic cultures” tubs that come with fruit on the bottom, noosa’s new ‘blended’ lil tubs offerings provide a new option for the blended yoghurt faithful!
To avoid kids (…and adults) fighting over the last spoonful, we suggest keeping at least a few flavors in the house at any given time. And while the 8oz tubs are perfect to keep in the fridge at home, noosa 4.5oz lil tubs make a great lunchbox item or after-school snack — this size is available in classic flavors as well as new blended versions of coffee, raspberry, key lime, and more. noosa lil tubs are also available in a 4-pack bundle, so stock up!
Michael Angelo’s frozen entrees
Parents everywhere know: The only thing better than a home-cooked meal, is a home-cooked meal cooked by someone else. But this back-to-school season, instead of slaving over the stove while juggling diaper changes, homework questions, and snacking fingers, parents can reach for a new type of dinnertime hack: Michael Angelo’s frozen entrees. With the flavors and ingredients of home-cooked Italian recipes and the ease of one-step prep, Michael Angelo’s frozen entrees are made for families unwilling to sacrifice taste for convenience. Unlike traditional TV dinners, Michael Angelo’s recipes have been handed down through generations of Italians from Nonna Foti’s Sicilian kitchen — and now, this Italian family’s favorite dishes can become your family’s favorite dishes. Choose from family favorite recipes such as meat lasagna, eggplant parmigiana, shrimp scampi, and many more!
Of course, Michael Angelo’s frozen entrees use no artificial preservatives, colors, or other additives. Nonna Foti would never use anything less than the freshest ingredients, served up with an extra pinch of love (and olive oil). So whether you opt for a family serving size for a weeknight with the little ones or a single serving size for a comforting lunch on-the-go, parents everywhere can ditch the weeknight guilt — and stress — with Michael Angelo’s frozen entrees.
