My Dad Tip
To make meal preparation easier, as part of each week’s food shopping, when I’m at the grocery store, I always pick-up a rotisserie chicken, pull it apart and keep it ready in the fridge.
That way, I can easily throw a tasty and nutritious lunch or dinner together quickly.
Perfect for when I’m short of time or motivation!!
