Back to school: The National Way
The start of a new school year is both exciting and hectic. Parents and children have new activities, and the pressure to be well-prepared is on. So is prepping a menu for the entire family to get through those first few weeks easily.
Taking things back to basics this year is the home of the National Hardo Bread, National Baking Company, with a few classic sandwiches and snacks, and some reimagined ones perfect for the entire family for back to school.
Back to School on a Budget
The back-to-school menu doesn’t have to be expensive. Simple, filling meal ideas are aplenty, and it’s easy to add more or less depending on the family budget.

One loaf of hardo bread goes a long way during the back-to-school period. Eighteen thick-cut slices per loaf make it a valuable buy for any sized family. Make one egg, sausage and plantain sandwich to send a child off to school, or nine for a larger family, without breaking the bank. Add one egg, a half or whole sausage frank of choice and three slices of a plantain per sandwich to make things stretch! .
Butter and bread are staples in every fridge or pantry. With the addition of melting sliced cheese for under $1,000 per dozen slices and the help of a frying pan, a delectable grilled cheese sandwich awaits. Butter both sides of two slices of hardo bread generously, fill with a melting cheese of choice and fry until crispy.
It’s easy and cost-effective to make this egg, sausage and plantain sandwich. Have your little ones help out and watch them tuck in with gusto.
