Meal Prep Example

Last night I was getting dinner ready for tonight after Grady went to bed. I had Molly Anne help me and she loves to do stuff in the kitchen. At first it was more work for me to have her in there but she'll prep carrots (peal and cut) and strawberries and other stuff on Sundays now. It's so helpful! 

Anyway this is what we prepped for tonight's dinner. Only way to survive work and after school sports. This is from @thevanillatulipfarmhouse meal plan. 

Last night I used a rotisserie chicken I had pulled off the bone when I got it over the weekend. I used half and marinated it in the ingredients above. Tonight I'll sauté it for about two minutes then throw in the bowl. 

I rinsed the black beans. I'm using a frozen corn bag so that's just a microwave tonight. Molly Anne made the dressing. I bought premade pico. Rice I'm using Uncle Ben 90 second microwaveable rice. Avocado will be easy to slice. 

So this is how I will have dinner on the table in 10 minutes when we cruise in from swim practice at 5:40! Basic but it works. Should I do more of these? It's not hard stuff but sometimes I like seeing how other people do it. Maybe you do too?!
