    With fall right around the corner, having easy meals for school nights is essential! Here are the best back to school dinner recipes.

    Now that school is in full swing, I am always trying to figure out easier and delicious dinner ideas, which is why I put together a list of the best back to school dinner ideas. We have soccer, swimming, gymnastics, and school all during the week, and it makes for a VERY tight schedule. Coming up with easy recipes is key for making dinner at home, and not spending tons of money on the drive-thru everyday. These are the best, most popular, and easiest meals in one place, to make your life easier.  

    This list includes the best beef, pork, chicken, turkey, fish, and vegetarian dinner recipes. They are broken int categories so you can easily jump around. My favorites include the Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan, Bang Bang Shrimp Rice Bowls (Bonefish Grill copycat), and One Pot Wonder Tomato Basil Pasta! Don't forget to pin this article so that you can come back to it later for all the delicious recipes!
