Start the school year off right: morning routine tips, lunch ideas, teacher materials, and local cooking classes

Ready or not, it’s National Back to School Month and Kids Eat Right Month, and our blog is full of handy tips and tricks to help you prepare for the school year. From organizing your morning routine with a “mise en place” to using leftovers for lunches throughout the week, you’ll learn how to be more efficient when making meals for the family. Your newfound efficiency will come in handy next month because September is National Family Meals Month. September is also when we’ll welcome a new member to the ChopChop Family! Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer break.

Warmly,

ChopChop Family
