    just a heads up - typically your chicken and meat will be ready in a crockpot early but it tastes a lot better when you leave it in the full time bc it was able to soak in ☺️ it also makes shredding easier when you leave it in!

    I find with shredded chicken the key to flavour is using stock instead of water and adding a dash of cinnamon. The recipe you used, personally I would add more liquid, perhaps a half a cup to a cup of stock, so you both, have a sauce for your chicken, and the chicken will absorb more moisture and flavour. It's one of my fav meal prep recipes

  • @alexislexi1211

    Whenever I cook chicken on high in the crockpot, it’s always so difficult to shred. I find it easier to cook it low and slow for 5-6 hours depending on how big your chicken is. It’s so much easier to shred when you cook it on low!

    I am meal prepping as well. It’s so convenient. I didn’t think I would like to eat Coconut Chickpea Curry or Lentil Stew so much, but damn do I love it. Some meals get even better in flavor being meal prepped. Since I don’t eat meat and do eat a lot of vegan food, I use tofu, lentils, all sorts of beans and peas as protein. 😌 Btw, would absolutely recommend doing a coconut curry, you can do it with shredded chicken, sounds yum too.

    good morning!! just wanted to share some insight about chopped onion that I learned recently and thought of during your crockpot clip!😳 Turns out that onions absorb bacteria/gunk (used in holistic medical practices to literally pull bacteria out of your body🤢), and once you chop an onion, it starts absobing bacteria & stuff out of the air/fridge. So; it's best to cook any diced/cut/copped onion right away & dispose of any leftovers. Not only to save a stinky fridge, but also to save yourself from eating whatever crap the onion absobed.

    I’m so proud of your determination and productivity! The crock pot chicken looks delicious. However, you need to put the leftover tomatoes in another container. Tomatoes are acidic and can react with the metal can. At the very least it will change the taste but it can also breed bacteria.

      Girl, you need to go see a doctor and get a sleep study done ASAP.
      From my own personal experience, I sometimes have trouble sleeping just like you do, except I also have also been told that I snore very loudly when I sleep (and my breathing stops and starts). Sleep apnea is no joke, it's a silent killer. I unfortunately have it. You should also turn off your phone at night (or at least set it to silent while it's charging) so you're not waking up an hour later every night.

    Taking one to two magnesium before bed leads to better sleep. However, at least in my case, I have really low iron, almost critical, and I could not fall asleep and stay asleep for the life of me. I was also incredibly drained and always tired during the day, it was like no matter how much sleep I got I was still tired. Maybe get your blood tested like when you go for physical. Even if your iron isn’t extremely low like mine taking an iron pill can promote and regulate better sleeping routines. Definitely look into it, I know from watching you for a while that you’ve always struggled with sleep. I hope it gets better!!! 🫶🏻
