I may survive inward the minority here, but I also love the routine in addition to construction that comes along amongst school-time much to a greater extent than than the less-scheduled, looser times of summer.  For me, it's easier to maintain Miss H. on a regular routine.  And somehow, when there's to a greater extent than I conduct hold to do, I acquire way to a greater extent than done.

But create you lot desire to know what I don't absolutely love virtually dorsum to schoolhouse time?

The pressure level of getting meals on the tabular array quickly!  

It seems that betwixt school, afterwards schoolhouse activities, in addition to "general life," there's oftentimes non much fourth dimension to acquire a repast on the table.  We concord identify unit of measurement dinner fourth dimension near-and-dear to our hearts, so I genuinely essay to conduct hold us sit down downwards together at the tabular array each nighttime over a proficient meal.  Sometimes that agency I ready dinner before inward the twenty-four lx minutes menses in addition to reheat it ... sometimes it agency grabbing take-out.

But most of the fourth dimension it agency turning to quick-and-easy recipes that tin survive on the tabular array inward virtually thirty to forty minutes, similar this Cheesy Taquito Rice Bake.

Of course of teaching she loves to consume Taquitos dipped inward Ranch dressing every bit a dejeuner or snack, so I had no dubiety the rice bake would survive a hit.  I exactly had to convince her to skip the Ranch!

To prep this rice bake, only cutting Jose Ole Taquitos into around 1-inch long pieces ...

I used Jose Ole Beef & Cheese Taquitos inward this item dish, but Chicken & Cheese Taquitos are good, too.  While you lot for sure tin cutting the Taquitos direct out of the freezer, I institute letting them thaw at room temperature for virtually fifteen or 20 minutes commencement made cutting much easier.  So every bit you lot run through the door inward the evening, catch those Taquitos out of the freezer in addition to toss them on the counter piece you lot acquire everyone settled inward at home.

Stir upward a elementary mixture of cooked rice {I used leftover white rice from our Chinese takeout the nighttime before!}, sour cream, greenish chiles, in addition to Monterey Jack in addition to cheddar cheeses ... so spoon that into a baking dish.  Top it amongst the sliced Taquitos ...
