Jennifer here to share with you about some amazing items that will make the back to school transition so much easier. We were provided with an item to give away however, all opinions remain our own.

back-to-school-2013

Can you believe that in about 9 days August will be gone and September will be here? I just cannot believe how time has flown by.

The kids in my area have now been in school for about 3 weeks. Families are getting into routines, schedules are getting fuller, and honestly — that is just life.

We are gearing up to start homeschooling next week. I know that when we start, it’s going to get hectic around here. Because of that, I am on the lookout for anything that can help me whip up quick and delicious meals for my family. I refuse to be another drive thru mom.

Here are 5 gadgets that will help you whip up quick meals this Back to School season.

IMUSA Stainless Steel Mini Casserole Egg Pan

Gadget 1

The IMUSA Stainless Steel Mini Casserole Egg Pan is a unique pan that is ideal for making breakfast in just minutes. Unlike other egg pans, the lid provides a uniform cooking surface and delivers even heat distribution, cooking the perfect fried egg every time. The cool touch bakelite handles are easy to use and the nonstick cooking surface allows for easy cleanup.  Available at Target.com for $12.79

IMUSA’s Orange Silicone Rim Non-Stick Caldero

Gadget 2

IMUSA’s Orange Silicone Rim Non-Stick Caldero will be a parent’s go-to cookware choice, as it allows for cooking anything from rice and soup to stews and roasts.  The lid’s silicone rim seals in freshness while cooking, while the silicone knob stays cool ensuring safety and ease. The caldero’s non-stick interior promotes healthier cooking, as well as a fast and easy clean up- so parent’s have more down time to relax after dinner! Available at Macy’s for $50.00

T-fal Ultraglide Easycord Iron

Gadget 3

Okay– so this will not help with dinner, but it will help cut down on your laundry time. Perfect for helping parents reduce the time spent on laundry, the T-fal Ultraglide Easycord Iron makes it quick and easy for wrinkles to disappear, and its powerful steam ensures a crisp, smooth outfit every time. The easycord system keeps the cord out of the way and prevents re-wrinkling of already ironed fabrics. The iron also features a self-cleaning system. Available at Target.com for $39.99

WearEver Cast Lite Fry Pan

Gadget 4

   The WearEver Cast Lite Fry Pan is crafted from cast aluminum, which offers the home cook professional-level searing and deglazing of foods, and is 50% lighter than cast iron. Featuring a durable and easy-to clean nonstick interior and exterior, the fry pan is dishwasher safe, and rust-resistant. Available at Walmart for $24.99

WearEver’s Pure Living Cookware Set

Gadget 5

Non-stick cookware, especially a reliable, safe, and easily maintained set, provides parents with an easier cooking and post-meal experience. Non-stick ceramic surfaces such as those on WearEver’s Pure Living Cookware Sets not only prepare food in a healthy manner without passing along toxins, but they wipe clean effortlessly. Amazon.com: 10 PC Set is $117.99; Walmart.com: 12” Fry Pan is $25.75

    I always use my vegetable steamer! Using a microwave still gives me the heebie jeebies, so I opt to cook the old fashioned way. Instead of stir frying veggies, I love to just throw them in the steamer over some boiling water and prepare the rest of the meal while they cook. Too easy! And minimal clean up!
