Hot GRILL Summer Spread

In honor of everyone of living their best hot girl summer, I decided to put together a healthy(ish) spread for those of you who want a quick and easy option to make during the week. If you're like me then you're looking for any reason to get outside now that the summer weather is here so you better believe I will be grilling all of my food for the foreseeable future.

This is a pretty typical meal combo in my life - protein, veggie, and you bet your ass some sort of carb makes it to my plate. The grilled chicken recipe has become a staple in my meal prep routine so if you want something you can cook ahead of time then I cannot suggest this enough!
