    So obviously, to actually cook at that yumminess, it took all freakin' afternoon. With a few breaks in there - we'd play in the backyard with the kids and took the dog for a walk around the block????

    So even though I felt like I couldn't possibly clean the kitchen one.  more. time. it was really awesome to have all that food in the fridge for the week.

    The Chicken Parmesan turned into lunches - I put the rice, roasted broccoli and chicken parmesan into 6 containers so Jason and I had 3 lunches each which was amazing.

    And before we jump into this weeks' recipe: Roasted Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes(!), I'm finding this time in our history pretty challenging of course and I've realized, the intentional food prep is really helping me stay the course when it come to getting healthy, fueling food into me and my family.

    What about you?????‍♀️

    I'd love to know how you're doing during this time of physical distancing. What you find most challenging and most importantly, what's helping?

      Neat idea to roast them and nice to have a new way to use sweet potatoes. However, after 20 min at 425 they were still basically raw. They either need double the time or cook with a lid on.

        Hey Kristen! Thanks for commenting and trying it out. Sorry the potatoes were under-cooked for you 🙁 That's no good. Hopefully with the adjustment in cooking time, you still like the taste. Thanks again 🙂
