While I haven’t personally been in school since 2016, my husband Andrew is a teacher, meaning I am still very much attuned to the cycle of the standard academic calendar. Although, even if I didn’t still have a connection to the back-to-school chaos, fall is always a hectic time! As a wedding photographer, September and October are some of my busiest months, and even as the peak of the wedding season winds down, the process of booking clients for the next wedding season picks up. And at a time when more and more companies are requiring employees to return to the office*, recipes that are quick to make, easy to transport, AND delicious are worth their weight in gold. So today, I’ve compiled my top recipes, shopping list tricks, and meal prep hacks for your busy fall food needs. I included a mix of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack ideas that are sure to help you avoid ordering food during even the most hectic of weeks!
