Is “Back to School” a thing in your life? Are your fall weeknights spent juggling kids from school to football practice, to the nearest store for some last-minute much-needed item, and then finally home, only to have to rush around and try to figure out what to feed everyone before finally sitting down to help the kids out with homework? Well then, today’s recipe round-up is just for you; all of these recipes are simple to make, taste absolutely delicious, and will help make life just a little bit easier during the busy work week. And, while some of the featured recipes may take a bit of time to cook in the oven, that time can be well used to help the kids study for that big math test they have coming up or to fold that load of laundry that has been hanging out on the living room couch for more than a few days getting wrinklier and wrinklier as each day passes. As an added bonus, to help you survive “Back to School” without totally losing your sanity, I and several other participating bloggers have joined together to give away 3 Duo 6-Quart Instant Pots to three lucky winners. So, make sure to scroll down and enter the giveaway for your chance to win.
