Now that Bake it Happen has officially come to an end (I will announce results from the campaign this week), I’m back to my normal grind. A piece of my Sunday afternoons is usually reserved for my weekly meal planning. It helps alleviate any added stress during those frenetic afterschool hours. Armed with a short list of ingredients, Monday early mornings I stock up on the necessities for my earmarked meals.

This feedback warmed my heart as Garlic Chicken was also my all-time favorite dish for dinner as a child and still today as an adult.
