Tips for this Week’s Meal Plan
- Make extra mac and cheese on Monday to serve with the BBQ chicken on Tuesday.
- Use romaine for side salads since it’s also used in the Caribbean chicken salad; add extra produce from the week like peppers or tomatoes.
- Cook extra rice on Wednesday to use with the salmon on Friday.
- If you don’t have an Instant Pot, cook 2 cups of rice on the stove according to the box directions. Finish with the zest and juice of one large lime and 1/4–1/2 cup chopped cilantro, plus salt to taste.
- Serve fajitas with tortilla chips if you like, and save some chips to add crunch to the Caribbean salad.
