Back To School! Turkey Bacon Tortilla Roll-Ups

By Meg Hodson

Yep, we are rolling up on the back-to-school season.  If you're a Mom like me, one of the first things to cross my mind after dizzying school supply lists is lunch ideas.  I have three children in grade school this coming year and I will be making a LOT of lunches.  I like to do mainly homemade lunches, focusing on healthy choices without being too complicated.  

My friends at eMeals always have great ideas and thankfully, they have a back-to-school plan that is sure to make this process a piece of cake.  eMeals deliver weekly recipes, completely planned out by day and with a convenient shopping list. With their back-to-school promotion, you will receive 10 bonus recipes to start the school year off right, as well as 20% off your meal plan.  Just use the code SCHOOL when purchasing.

Fun Recipe Friday: Nutella Grahams

We have officially entered back to school season!  So, ideas are flowing for school lunch ideas and healthy snacks for the kids.  Today, I offer up a perfect, quick after school snack, care of eMeals.  These Nutella Grahams are sure the please the kiddos when they get home from school.

Nutella Grahams

Ingredients:

Graham crackers

Nutella spread 

Wheat germ (feel free to sub ground flax seed or crushed almonds if you don't have wheat germ on hand)

Dip graham crackers in chocolate hazelnut spread and sprinkle lightly with wheat germ. Serve with milk for a little calcium boost!  Nutella does have dairy; if your kids are allergic or dairy intolerant, I have found some good alternative chocolate spreads without dairy at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.  You can also find healthier versions of graham crackers at these stores, too.

eMeals makes back to school meal planning super simple!  Each week you are emailed meal planning for dinners for the entire week, along with a grocery list completely organized and planned out for you.  You also get bonuses, like the snack idea in this article.  I subscribe to the natural/organic plan and I love it.  There are a variety of meal plans to choose from to fit your lifestyle.  It inspires me to try new recipes.  

The best part is that they have extended a discount to my readers for their service.  Use the code SCHOOL15 to receive 15% off your subscription.  Just click here to get started!

Good luck with back to school with your kids!
