So. Summer is winding down….and back to school is just around the corner. Are you ready?? I’m at that point where I’m having very mixed feelings about it. One minute I can’t wait to shuffle my kids out the door, and the next minute I’m thinking about all the fun things we could have/should have been doing with our time. Oh, summer. Why must you do this to me every. single. year!?

Because just like that….it’s time to start thinking about fall. And busy mornings. And school supplies. And soccer practice. And….perhaps most daunting of all….weeknight dinners. Yes, it’s time to start building an arsenal of easy, delicious dinner recipes that I know my family will love! Starting with this Easy Chicken Fried Rice.

My kids ADORE fried rice, and after making it? I can see this Easy Chicken Fried Rice becoming a weekly staple.
