Back-to-school season always sneaks up fast, and with it comes the endless juggle of homework, after-school activities, and the nightly what’s for dinner? panic. These 5 recipes are here to save your sanity. They’re budget-friendly, minimal-prep, and totally family-approved – think roast chicken and vegetable tray bake (sheet-pan dinner), Rissoles, Hidden Veggie Bolognese, Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwiches, and juicy baked beef kebabs. The best part? Every single one doubles as a ready-to-pack leftover for school lunchboxes the next day. That’s dinner sorted and tomorrow’s lunch done – one less thing to think about.
