In New Jersey, spring break means a week of juggling "I’m bored" complaints with the desire to make some great family memories. Whether you’re heading to the Turtle Back Zoo, exploring the Liberty Science Center, or just trekking through South Mountain Reservation, the goal is to survive the day with your sanity intact.

Let’s be honest. The last thing any parent wants to do after a long day of walking, exploring, and managing the kids is stand over a stove.

The Spring Break "Coming Home" Crash

Imagine spending your morning at the American Dream Mall or a local park. You end up tired with your kids starting to get "hangry." So if your fridge is looking remarkably empty, this is where the "Spring Break Survival" secret comes in.

Fuel Up with the Taste of Home

There’s no need to settle for a cold sandwich or generic fast food when you can have a nutritious, hearty, and authentic meal waiting for you. Ounje Alabeke specializes in the kind of comfort food that restores your energy after a day on the move.

• For the Kids: The Jollof Rice is a crowd-pleaser. It is vibrant, flavorful, and filling enough to quiet even the loudest backseat complaints.

• For the Whole Crew: Grabbing a Side of Puff Puff is the ultimate way to keep the peace during the drive home.
