It’s time to get ready to set your clocks early, buy school supplies and get ready for tons of homework. New friends will be made and you will meet the new teachers. Sports are right around the corner and you have a new schedule to follow. Yes, parents have it hard when school starts!

The beginning of a new school year is always exciting for the children, but is also a new year for the parents as well. Time management becomes crucial to keep things running smooth during the school week. Finding new ways to make life simpler becomes more important.

When it comes to dinner, I like to find quick and easy recipes that my whole family will enjoy. When Challenge introduced their new Salsa cream cheese, I knew this would make my life easier. There are so many possibilities in that little tub of yummy goodness. They did the hard part for me by adding the fresh peppers, onions, jalapenos, garlic, herbs and seasonings to the cream cheese. This is a delicious way to save time and money! I came up with a savory pasta bake that is full of Mexican flavors and is so incredibly easy to make. In fact, you can make it in the morning, and pop it into the oven while helping with homework.

Some things in life are hard, like math homework and carpooling. Dinner does not have to be. Keep it simple. Simplify your life and give Challenge Dairy’s new Salsa cream cheese a try and make dinner as fun as recess! Click here for the recipe
