A busy day is not an excuse for not
making a good healthy dinner.
I have had a busy day today with
back to back clients, and starting again at 5.00pm and working until 9.00pm. So
I need (and the family needs) a good healthy dinner, but I don’t have time to cook
for a long time. Solution……pick up a charcoal grilled chicken, make a nice
salad and in 10 minutes you'll have a really nice dinner.
Cut up the chicken, and for a
healthy alternative – don’t use the skin, place the chicken on a plate.
