Hey all! I’ve been missing in action for a little while but I’m back for now! I was in San Francisco all last week followed by Seattle for an amazing wedding in the rain 🙂 I love traveling, but I’m so happy to be home and getting back into my routine.  It’s safe to say that I did not exactly eat healthy while I was away.  Yikes.  So yesterday, I spent some quality kitchen time making healthy food to get me back on track.
 
The chicken looks a little weird in the top picture, but I promise it’s delicious and juicy!  See exhibit A below…I couldn’t get it out of the Crock Pot without it falling apart.  One of them anyways.  And the brown crumbly stuff on top is some Splenda brown sugar blend which complements the sweet potatoes nicely.
If I was serving this right away I would have shredded the chicken, but since I’m using it for meal prep, I’ll wait until I’m ready to eat it to shred it.  Hopefully that will keep in the moisture for longer.  Here’s what my meal prep looks like for the week:
I didn’t include my snacks or breakfasts in this picture, I’ll be making those today.  What you see here: this recipe (obviously), salmon with asparagus and P90X pesto sauce, and turkey patties with broccoli.
