sunday: our beloved grill and chill ritual
brett grills ribs or bbqs chicken
brett roasts veggies from his garden
monday: sandwiches
why we love a weekly sandwich night
build your own grilled chicken sandwiches + build your own grilled chicken wraps
brett can grill some chicken like this (and plenty for the week, too)
set out goooood sliders and goooood tortillas
also set out: lettuce, tomato, mashed avocado, bacon, red onion, cheese cheese, bacon, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, honey mustard dressing, caesar dressing, etc
like, Brett’s #1 favorite is to do a buffalo ranch style slider or wrap with blue cheese crumbles, but I almost always do a chicken caesar wrap with crushed croutons and parmesan cheese. or a grilled chicken slider with lettuce, tomato, and mayo. THE BEST.
with a big bowl of fruit. or sweet potato fries. or frozen French fries. or salad with ranch dressing. the heart wants what the heart wants.
tuesday: something easy
burrito bowls (or BYO whatever speaks to your heart - arguably our favorite dinner ever)
leftover grilled chicken
a big batch of brown rice with chicken/bone broth for added flavor
I love my beloved rice cooker for this
various toppings: pico, cheese, mashed avocado, etc
