Hey Squad!
This week’s plan is all about balance — we’ll be making the most of a Costco rotisserie chicken by turning it into three totally different dinners, without it ever feeling like leftovers.
To keep things fresh, I’ve also built in a light vegetarian meal to give you a break from chicken, and we’ll finish the week with a hearty steak dinner that feels like a little reward after the busy weekdays.
It’s a mix of practical and cozy — quick wins for the nights you need them, plus meals that feel special enough to slow down and enjoy. As always, you’ll find the full plan, grocery list, and prep guide below.
Enjoy!
