Rotisserie chicken is a fast and easy way to add protein to your meal prep routine. According to the National Chicken Council, broiler chicken is the most widely consumed protein in the U.S. You can add chicken to everything from Caesar salads to frozen pizza to get more protein and make your meals more filling. Rotisserie chicken is flavorful due to the constant turning of the meat, which keeps it moist and tender and prevents the chicken from drying out.

One of the best parts of ordering a pizza — besides not having to cook — might actually be a second time in everything that's left over. But if you aren't careful, you could expose yourself to foodborne illness by either not properly storing leftovers or eating them too long after they were cooked. Perishable foods don't last forever, so next time you go to grab a slice of pizza from the fridge or that pizza box you left on the counter, check yourself to make sure it won't make you sick.

Sweet or sour, cherries are a fruit lover's dream. Between their ruby red color and juicy flesh, fresh cherries are delicious on their own as a snack and just as tasty when par-cooked for the perfect pie filling or turned into maraschino cherries for cocktail garnishes. The main con of cooking or eating them is dealing with the pesky pits. Along with peaches and plums, cherries are classified as a stone fruit, aptly named for the hard and inedible seed-shielding pit at their center. The hand-staining and time-consuming process of removing these small stones can be annoying even with a dedicated pitter. And sometimes, cherry pits can accidentally slip through.
