Things just seem to get busier and busier no matter how hard I try and busy leads to not having 30 minutes to cook dinner or time to shop for ingredients. That lands us in a drive thru. I didn't realize how much we were having fast food until we looked over our statements. It was like every other day for 2 weeks.
That is when I decided I had to take more time to pull together some make ahead items. So that way, on those insanely busy days I could still manage dinner and feel good about it. I have made this make ahead crockpot shredded chicken recipe 3 times in the last month and I have to tell you it has come in handy so many times, I can't even count.
This Saturday we spent all afternoon and evening at the park. Munchkin and her friends were riding mini ATV's, Chad was flying his drone and playing frisbee with the guys and I was taking in some mommy time and holding down the fort while I got in some great conversation with friends.
Before we knew it, we couldn't see 5 feet in front of us and it was almost 8 o'clock. So, we headed home and unloaded the crew. I had a hungry group on my hands and nothing planned for dinner. I reached in the fridge and pulled out a container of shredded chicken and whipped up some of the best sandwiches we have ever had.
