#sponsored. School is back in session, which means that our weeknights are about to get even busier! During this time, I’m always looking for quick and easy meals that are wholesome, hearty, and delicious. And this Creamy Beefy Shells & Cheese dish fits that description perfectly!
.
.
This recipe is comfort food at its best! It’s made with marinara sauce, pasta, lots of flavorful seasonings, cream, and ground beef. You may not know this, but ground beef is a complete, high-quality protein that contains all the essential amino acids the body needs to support physical activity.
.
.
School-age children, including teens, need adequate intakes of nutrients such as high-quality protein, zinc, iron, choline, and selenium, as well as vitamins B6 and B12. Adding beef to your meals is a delicious way to provide your kids with these key nutrients to help fuel development and improve overall health.

Repost from @beautifuleatsandthings 🩷. It's the first day of school...and I'm totally in my feelings 😢
.
A few days ago, I started feeling guilty for not planning a better summer vacation for the kids. Usually, we go to the beach a couple of times and I usually enroll the kids in several summer camps, but this summer they wanted to just "chill" at home. I was skeptical but I enjoyed our lazy summer wich included sleeping in, playing video games, random movie dates, and milkshakes...but didn't think my boys enjoyed it until this morning...
.
.
Before I dropped my boys off at school, they told me that this was the best summer EVER!! 😳 I was so happy that I cried happy tears 🥹. They are growing up so fast, and I constantly worry if I'm doing enough, or if I'm creating enough memories, but this summer taught me that life is more than filling your calendar with tons of vacations and activities. Sometimes it's just nice to sit at home and enjoy spending time with each other...being present and not worried if every moment is captured and posted to social media 🙂. Just in case you haven't heard this already...You are doing enough, so give yourself a little grace! 😊❤️

This Easy Cheesy One Pot Pepperoni Pizza Pasta is one of my favorite meals to cook for my family. We love one pot meals because they are super convenient and require very little clean up! Since my kids are HUGE fans of pizza and pasta, I thought that it would be a great idea to combine the two into a delicious recipe!

Quesadillas for breakfast?? Why not! 😁
.
My kids are huge fans of the classic, peanut butter & jelly sandwich! They will eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!Every once in a while, I try to switch things up a little bit and use a different flavor of jam or add in a few sliced bananas—but this time, I decided to give their favorite sandwich a complete makeover and make these Raspberry, Banana, & Peanut Butter Quesadillas! They're super easy to make! Check out the blog for the full recipe!
