Discover Our Favorite Pantry Staples:
Getting prepared for the school year comes down to a little planning … and lots of great food, of course! Stock your kitchen with versatile ingredients so you can mix and match snack ideas throughout the week. We love prepping a few easy snacks for kids ahead of time—think grab-and-go options like cut veggies with dressing or jam and cream cheese pinwheels—so the day runs smoothly. Having a rotation of snack ideas for kids at the ready means you’re less likely to scramble when hunger strikes.
We recommend using condiments to help picky eaters explore new flavors and enjoy tried-and-true favorites. For easy breakfast ideas, give the classic combo of toast and jam a go or use one of our breakfast mixes to batch prep mini pancake bites filled with fresh fruit! If fun school lunch ideas escape you, our grille sauces and aiolis are the perfect way to enliven proteins like chicken breast or add interest to simple sandwiches.
Definitely! For mornings, try our PB&J pancakes or jam-filled pastries—both are easy breakfast recipes that taste like a treat but come together quickly and can be prepped in advance. At midday, chicken tenders or pasta salads make for satisfying lunches and can even double as great snack ideas for kids. Explore the recipe section of our website to find plenty of additional school lunch ideas and easy snacks for kids that are perfect for busy parents who want nutritious, tasty meals without the stress.
