Now that I am in my mid-30s (yes, middle-aged and fabulous over here!), I am allowed to admit and say, as you get older you get wiser.

I’ve lived long enough to realize this. And that also, time and quality of life (especially as a mom) usually wins, too. I want to enjoy spending what time I have with my family and friends – and being disconnected. And while I love to cook, I’ve learned that sometimes it’s also just easier to avoid the kitchen and let someone else do the cooking.

There is no shame nor guilt in that.

I first learned of Chick-fil-A catering when I attended a first birthday party this summer in Pittsburgh and they had an entire tray full of those delicious chicken nuggets everyone from age 0 to 101 loves.

While refilling my plate for the third time for myself (oh, and Max) I thought –why am I not ordering this in full trays TO MY OWN HOUSE? I mean, let’s be real here – even if you’re not having a party – you can get a tray of Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets (hot OR cold) for only $38 where I live. I mean, did you just hear my plan for school lunch all week and snacks for playdate friends? The options are endless.

I also popped into the Babbleboxx Holiday Showcase this past week, which reminded me that I can, in fact, have Chick-fil-A cater my next homegating party for the Steelers right here in NYC. Note – Chick-fil-A has SIX locations in NYC including one in Queens (and they just opened in the Staten Island Mall)! Plus, you can order ON THEIR APP in advance. If you’ve been to the Hicksville location and seen the crowds, you know what a life saver this is!!!

So that’s what I did. I used the Chick-fil-A App on the train home that night (multitasker that I am!) and ordered a couple trays of nuggets for the game next weekend. Also, it just happens to be the NYC Marathon – so Max and I will be standing waiting to say hi to our friends with a little protein power (seriously – watch our Instagram stories on November 4!).

Not that you need any reasons to love Chick-fil-A anymore but here are ours:

• Chick-fil-A Sauce. Need I say anything else?
• The Chick-fil-A App! I love ordering in advance, earning points and skipping the line.
• Many of the catering trays are available in either hot or cold (so it’s ready to eat or ready to pop in the oven!)
• They’re more than just the nugget king. They actually have some of the BEST superfood salad I’ve ever had for fast food (and you can get a large tray of it on the catering menu, too). Don’t tell anyone, but actually mixing the Superfood Side and nuggets together are DELISH and my favorite thing to do.
• They also have Grilled Chicken Cool Wraps, fruit trays, subs and a Grilled Chicken Sandwich Bundle (think de-constructed sammies that are perfect to set out for people to make their own!). These are for the grown crowd.
