I loved connecting with you all awhile back about how some weeks are just plain rough. Sometimes we all just need some encouragement, or even a helping hand or break!
That is one reason I’m excited to be partnering with El Pollo Loco for this post, because they totally get that sometimes we need a break from cooking, but that doesn’t mean we want to give our family a break from eating well.
I just love the option it gives us, to take a guilt-free break from cooking once in awhile.
Like tonight, I had spent all day working and being with family. My kids had a VERY full day playing with their cousins and we were all exhausted. Obviously, driving home and spending 30 minutes cooking dinner would have meant listening to cries of “I’m hungry!” and “hold me!” the entire time I was cooking.
So off to El Pollo Loco we went. They even have a drive through which kind of surprises me every time. Healthy food for families doesn’t usually come from a drive through! Their citrus marinated chicken is grilled fresh right in front of you (if you go in the restaurant) and it definitely shows in the flavor!
We snagged an 8 piece meal (comes with two sides) and took it home to share. There was even enough left over to snack on tomorrow!
Y’all, it’s no secret that I’m not a big cooking fan, but when I can get a break from it without feeling bad, I am gonna call that a very good day!
Do you give yourself breaks from cooking? Do you have an El Pollo Loco near you? Check here!
