Look for fresh produce at your local farmer’s market or farm stand. It will be super fresh and totally delicious!
Make extra Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast to be used on the Panera Strawberry Poppyseed Salad later in the week.
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken freezes really well so if you get a sale on chicken, make a double batch and freeze half.
Keep leftovers fresh by using quality airtight containers – these are my favorite.
