Hello and happy Sunday!

This week's meal plan includes some of my summer favorites: black bean burgers, chicken fajitas, grilled tri-tip, buttermilk fried chicken, marry me shrimp pasta, classic lemon bars, and mix and match summer sides.

The Main Dish:

• Monday Main: Black Bean Burgers​ - These black bean burgers are hearty, a little spicy, and sturdy enough to survive a generous pile of toppings without crumbling apart mid-bite.

• Tuesday Main: Chicken Fajitas​ - The marinated chicken stays flavorsome and juicy as it cooks quickly before kicking it up with antioxidant-rich bell peppers and onion in this Mexican restaurant-style meal!

• Wednesday Main: Grilled Tri-Tip Steak​ - Here’s how I grill a tri tip steak perfectly every time for an intensely beefy flavor and the tenderness of a slow-braised roast.

• Thursday Main: Buttermilk Fried Chicken - Buttermilk fried chicken is kept extra juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside by brining in a buttermilk marinade before double-dredging and frying!

• Friday Main: Marry Me Shrimp Pasta​ - Incredibly rich, savory, and lush with big, juicy shrimp and al dente pasta swimming in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce.
