Thanks so much!!

    Do you have a crock pot? Throw some boneless, skinless chicken thighs in there with a small can of green enchilada sauce, cook all day on low, shred, and serve as taco filling. You and your family can add toppings to taste and to fit within your daily goals--salsa, cheese, sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, whatever. Refried beans on the side, maybe tortilla chips for the kids. Comes together very quickly.

    i do not use my crockpot very often but its a great tool....what works best for me is planning ahead....grilled chicken breast...grill quite a few of them and stick them in the refrigerator until whatever night you are eating, they can be used for anything...as a grilled chicken breast with veggies...shredded and in bbq sauce....as a quick stir fry....as chicken enchiladas...on top of a nice big hearty salad....possibilities are endless.

    We have baseball (we run a club team) football (we are on a club team) tennis (all of us at dffierent days/times) and hip hop. Not to mention the boys homework. So I know the feeling. I have become the crock pot king. Also, sounds corny but we LOVE our Geroge Froeman grill. I can htrow frozen fish, chicken, burgers, whatever on it and it cooks them perfectly in just about 10 minutes.

    Other than that, I spend a lot of Sundays premaking meals then vaccum sealing and freezing them. That helps a lot.
