Tips for Make-Ahead Meal Planning:
- When grilling, add some extra bonless, skinless chicken breasts to the grill and use them throughout the week. Make salads, chicken salad or shred it for tacos.
- If you’re planning salads, prepare everything in advance. Chop onions, lettuce, carrots, shred cheese and do prep work for the things you like in your salad.
- If you like bacon in salads or on potatoes, use a shortcut. Keep real bacon bits in your pantry.
