Back to school meals are often a source of panic for parents. Whether it's meals for kids' lunch boxes or meals for extremely busy weeknights and even after-school snacks, we can all agree that kids and teens eat a lot!

Strawberry Toaster Tarts
Ingredients
2 store-bought puff pastry sheets
1 pound fresh strawberries, roughly sliced
½ cup honey
1 tablespoon water
1 egg, beaten
How To
Heat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. Take a cookie sheet and place some parchment on top.
Take a small sauce pot and add the strawberries, honey and water. Cook down until the strawberries turn into a thick, jammy consistency.
Take each sheet of puff pastry and cut them into quarters. Take about 1 tablespoon of the strawberry filling and add it to the center of four sheets. Take the other four sheets of cut-out puff pastry sheets and place them on top and seal the edges with a fork. Take the egg and brush the tops of the tarts, then bake in the oven until golden brown for about 25 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before eating
