sunday:
grill and chill - brett grills something for dinner, brett grills whatever protein(s) we need for the upcoming week, and we chill
brett grills fajita chicken
(fajitas? quesadillas? burrito bowls? dip meat in queso and mashed avocado? anything goes.)
(fajitas? quesadillas? burrito bowls? dip meat in queso and mashed avocado? anything goes.)

monday:
meal prep monday
salad/sandwich/wraps/soups/bowls
- chicken caesar wraps + roasted sweet potato cubes (or leftover fruit)
- use grilled chicken from Sunday
- use refrigerated caesar dressing (near the produce) - its SO MUCH BETTER
- we use halved cherry tomatoes, romaine lettuce, and shredded (not powdered!) parmesan cheese with good flour tortillas
- brett crumbles croutons (either caesar croutons, or cheese/garlic croutons) to sprinkle on top - this part is essential to add crunch to every bite
- brett adds thinly sliced red onion to his
- see this post and this post for photos + ingredients + step by step
- meal prep:
- shop my favorite meal prep goodies here
- my version of Meal Prepping is asking myself, “What can I do now that will be helpful in the future?” AKA “What can I do now to make Thursday’s dinner easier?”
