Cheese Ravioli

When it comes to learning, breakfast isn’t the only meal that matters. Kids who eat dinner with their families are better students than those who don’t. Plus, eating together is the ideal opportunity to learn all about your child’s school day. If getting a healthy meal on the table is a challenge for your busy family, stock your freezer with frozen ravioli. Opt for one made with ricotta and you’ll score more protein than two large eggs and as much calcium as you’d get from half a glass of milk. And nobody will know it took you just 10 minutes to make.
