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 chicken
- chicken caesar wraps
- 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

- add in leftover grilled chicken
roasted brussel sprouts (see below) + roasted broccoli
- here's my instagram post on my favorite risotto + my favorite add-ins
- I make risotto in this favorite dutch oven of mine (I think mine is this size?) and wooden spoons like these
- roasted brussel sprouts (I kinda wing this recipe, so take these directions with a huge grain of salt)
- i buy shredded brussel sprouts from HEB or Trader Joe's, I toss them in olive oil and generously sprinkle with garlic salt. I cook in an oven at 400 degrees (move the rack to the top third of the oven) and I cook until browned and crispy (like 30ish minutes? I DON'T KNOW). Then I drizzle them with TJ's Balsamic Glaze and put back in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
