greek yogurt chicken alfredo grilled cheese

Is it safe to talk about back-to-school?

Yes? No?

My Lisa Frank folders are practically screaming to be filled with Big Chief Paper and neon stickers. My Rainbow Brite lunchbox is jonesing for a peanut butter (crustless) and jelly sandwich. Oh, and let’s not forget about my collection of slap bracelets that are begging to make an appearance in homeroom. So, is it safe to talk about back to school? My inner nine year-old self gives it a sharpened number two pencil cursive, yes.

When one talks about going back-to-school supplies typically take center stage. But today, I want to talk about lunches. As someone that is not a big fan of lunch as an adult, I LOVED eating lunch at school as a kid. In our school, the lunch ladies whipped up homemade chicken noodles, pizza, grilled chicken, and sloppy joes. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.

So, let’s talk lunches. I’ve team upped with the American Dairy Association Mideast to bring a delicious lunch that is healthy and a smash-up of two childhood favorite comfort foods – chicken alfredo and grilled cheese. As part of their Great American Milk Drive campaign, which is working to put milk in the fridges of families for the back-to- school season (Aug 10th to 25th), this Greek Yogurt Chicken Alfredo Grilled Cheese boasts high levels of calcium and is a total kid fav.

I’d like to think Niesha would totally agree. Meeting her last year was an enlightening moment to see that dairy is an important factor in a child’s life. Just a 1/4 cup of low fat milk a day is linked to improved nutrition and better academic performances.

If you would like to help families and kids like Niesha get more dairy in their lives, visit ADA Mideast’s Facebook page and for every like, comment or share, they’ll donate $1 to the Great American Milk Drive. Plus, you’ll get some great recipes for a few other lunch ladies. Check them out below!
