If you’re busy during the week, it can be tough to prep a new meal every night. Your to-do list is probably never-ending, and hey, who doesn’t appreciate a few spare minutes to relax?

Rachael’s got a strategy, just for situations like these. She says, ”I love rollover cooking. If you cook something simple like a poached chicken, you can roll it into two meals…”
