I am very lucky to have some great family, friends and neighbors. After I had Easton, we had several meals brought by, which was great, since I was taking it easy and not in the kitchen. Well, as a result of a couple of these meals, I ended up with the majority of 2 rotisserie chickens on my hands. As much as I love rotisserie chicken, you can only eat so much of it by itself. But the thing that I love about it is that it’s easy to turn into a different meal!!
