Hey Reader,

My kids are back to school this week, so I need things to run as smoothly as possible around here. That includes dinner. This week's meal plan includes recipes that take just 30 minutes or less, are family-friendly, require minimal cleanup, and are realistic for a weeknight when everyone is tired.

About this week's recipes: Perfect for back to school because they're quick to make, easy to clean up, and a hit with the whole family. All of these recipes are naturally gluten-free and can easily be made dairy-free.

Tuesday | Ground Turkey Enchilada Quinoa Skillet​

A few extras if you want them:
