Back to School Box

Summer is over, and many of you are back to being a chauffeur-parent, super-glued to your car seat, stressed by traffic, running out of time as you balance work while trying to get everyone from point A to point B – soccer practice, violin lessons, and playdates. You’ve got a million things on your mind: their successes, their passions, their travels, their college degrees – and dinner.

As the mother of three, I want to help my kids attain great experiences. And I want us to have the kind of quality time that creates lasting health, epic memories, basic life skills, and a family culture anchored by happy times around the dinner table. But with so much pressure, it’s no surprise that cooking ranks low on the To-Do list.  

Our Narrative Provisions boxes are designed to make the transition to cooking a seamless and fun one. Our kids shouldn’t need to go to “home economics” classes or cooking school to be able to feed themselves a simple meal.

BOX INGREDIENTS

This week, we have chosen a myriad of seasonal ingredients perfect for making kid-friendly meals – sweet potatoes, lipstick peppers, tomatillos, bread, ingredients for pesto pasta and apples for lunchbox applesauce!

Pave the way to cooking and enjoy your back-to-school season with a carefully curated box that relieves shopping time, thinking and planning, and trying to procure fresh ingredients from farmers markets. One day your child will thank you, because every child who cooks with a parent is an empowered child. Cooking is and will always be their very first second language – right after they utter their first “Mama”. Here’s to happy school days ahead!
