The school year is already in full swing and most of us are up to our ears in soccer practices, scouting activities, school projects and more. So, it’s easy for one of the most important meals of the day to go by the wayside – dinner. But food doesn’t need to be fancy to taste good, be nutritious, or give us the fuel to power through the week. Zoës Kitchen reminds us it’s the ingredients that count and the love that goes into the preparation. Their restaurants are dedicated to healthy eats (take out and dine in) that are satisfying and wholesome with the freshest ingredients.
