#McCainPartner - Back-to-school 🍎 season doesn’t have to mean mealtime chaos!  In come these tasty pizzas made with McCainFoodsUSA Smiles® crispy mashed potato shapes. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, they are great as a snack but perfect for your dinner-time meal! As a parent and teacher, I’ve learned a few tricks to make things smoother. Find the recipe via the link in my BIO!

Here are my top tips for simplifying meals and getting dinner on the table without the stress during the back-to-school season:
.
⭐️ Meal plan it out. Spend 15 minutes each weekend planning your dinners for the week. This saves you from the daily “what’s for dinner?” panic. 

⭐️ Prep ahead. Chop veggies, cook grains, and portion out snacks on a Sunday. Future you will thank you!
Embrace leftovers. Cook extra! Leftovers are perfect for quick lunches or a super-easy second dinner.

⭐️ Keep it simple. You don’t need a gourmet meal every night. Quick and easy recipes are your best friend during the busy school week. That’s why McCain Smiles® are always on our shopping list—they’re the perfect, simple side dish for a hectic night. We love how they contain no artificial colors, flavors, and are made with real potatoes and seasoned with sea salt! We love cooking them in the air fryer! In fact, these McCain Smiles® Crispy Mashed Potato Mini Pizzas can be 100% baked in the air fryer in mins. with YOUR fave pizza toppings!

⭐️ Stock your pantry. Keep a well-stocked pantry and freezer with essentials like McCain Smiles®, pasta, canned beans, and frozen veggies. This makes it easy to whip up a meal even when you haven’t been to the grocery store.

⭐️ Divide snacks for each child and keep them in their own snack bins so they can easily pull snacks to make lunches. This saved a lot of hassle and fighting in my home!
