Today’s blog post combines these two loves (and gives you some options for a Cinco de Mayo dinner that aren’t the typical hard-shelled tacos). These recipes come from a macro-friendly cookbook that I created, alongside a dear friend and former client, back in 2018. That was six whole years ago, yet the recipes remain favorites in our home.

Rotisserie chicken is one of those often overlooked options that can cut down on our cooking time, make our food delicious, and add ease to our busy lives. It comes cooked and ready to eat and is a wonderful, healthful substitute to protein prep at home. Simplicity is key to sustainability in our nutrition and, with that in mind, here are 5 quick, simple meals using rotisserie chicken. Because these recipes are so simple and customizable, the ingredients and directions are merely suggestions.

Batch prepping refers to cooking large quantities of food ahead of time so that you can easily throw together a meal when it’s time to pack your lunch for the day or feed your family for dinner. When batch prepping, we can think less about the specific meals we are going to eat for the week, and more about creating the building blocks of those meals. This also makes grocery shopping and any meal planning you may do much easier!

We’re all about easy and yummy around here and these BBQ and Buffalo stuffed sweet potatoes check both of those boxes plus some. We plan to make these for the Superbowl and have been enjoying them often during this cold winter season. Hopefully, you and your family will love them too!

Meal prep is one of those things that we know can benefit us by cutting down on time in the kitchen and brainpower trying to constantly decide what to eat, but is also exhausting and often ends with tons of uneaten meals. This is where batch prep comes to the rescue, especially when planning meals for your whole family.

If you’re new to tracking your macros, the idea of creating meals or planning a day that hits your macros can feel incredibly overwhelming. You may think you need to create complex recipes, weigh every part, and spend an hour of your day just doing math or playing macro tetris, but that’s not the case.
