It’s getting hot in here…In the midst of our late-July heat wave, most of us want to steer clear of the kitchen.  Don’t fall into a nutrition rut.  This is a the perfect opportunity to break out your electric crockpot and prepare large batches of staples (think chicken breast or pulled pork) that you will effortlessly enjoy all week.  Prep this tasty chicken dish in the early a.m. and it will be ready to go by dinner.
