Our Back-to-School Secret to Success: Making Dinnertime Easier!

As the back-to-school season kicks into full gear, life gets busy fast. Between early mornings, after-school activities, sports practices, and homework, finding time to plan and prepare dinner can quickly become overwhelming. But here’s the good news: dinnertime doesn’t have to be stressful. In fact, we’ve discovered our back-to-school secret to success: frozen crockpot meals that you don’t even have to prep yourself!
Want to make your back-to-school nights even easier? Here are some of our favorite tips and tricks to keep dinnertime stress-free this school year:
1. Set an Alarm to Start Your Crockpot
The easiest way to actually remember to start dinner is to set a quick alarm or calendar reminder on your phone for first thing in the morning or around lunch time. Beehive Meals go straight from your freezer to your slow cooker. Just pop it in before you head out the door and come home to a fully cooked, delicious meal.

2. Order Sides with Your Weekly Groceries
Beehive Meals takes care of the main dish, but you can make dinner feel complete by adding easy sides to your weekly grocery order. Grab simple go-to’s like bagged salads, frozen rolls, rice, pasta, or even a veggie tray. It’s minimal prep with maximum satisfaction.
3. Use the Dinner Planning with Allyse Calendar
Planning ahead can save you time and energy. We’ve created a free Dinner Planning Calendar with Allyse to help you map out your Beehive Meals, sides, and family activities each week.

4. Involve the Kids
Turn dinnertime into a family affair. Younger kids can help set the table or prep sides like pre-cut fruit or veggies. Older kids can help dish out meals or manage the slow cooker settings. Getting them involved not only saves you time but also teaches valuable life skills.
5. Stock Up on Pre-Cut Fruits and Veggies
Skip the chopping and reach for pre-cut fruits, veggie trays, or steamable bags of vegetables. They are a quick and easy way to round out your meal without adding extra work to your day.
6. Subscribe to Beehive Meals
The best hack of all is to subscribe. When you subscribe to Beehive Meals, your dinners just show up. No extra planning required. Your freezer stays stocked, your meals are ready when you need them, and you can focus on everything else on your back-to-school to-do list.
