Back to school week seems to get busier every year. If you can prepare and make a few meals in advance it always helps. Our Back to School Breakfast Muffins include fruit and vegetables so you know you're feeding your family a balanced meal. Grab a few for the commute to school and the kids will be pleasantly surprised by the hearty breakfast.
