Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad

We eat a lot of chicken.  I can't deny that.  There have been weeks when we've eaten chicken 5 or 6 days in a row because it was on sale that week at the grocery store.  What can I say?  I love chicken and I'm a sucker for a good sale.  My family starts to get suspicious after the third consecutive chicken day though.  😂

If you ask my kids, they will tell you that we eat chicken "All The Time".   The truth is, we normally eat it no more than once or twice a week.  (Unless it's on sale of course.)  I have a meal schedule that I follow to plan our meals every week.  I've published this before but for those of you who might be new to the blog - here it is again.
                                               Monday - Fish
                                               Tuesday - Chicken
                                               Wednesday - Soup, Salad or Sandwiches
                                               Thursday - Beef or Pork (Vegetables for me)
                                               Friday - Pasta
                                               Saturday and Sunday - anything goes

To a lot of people it might seem a little rigid to plan meals like this but if you know me at all - you know that I thrive on (over)planning EVERYTHING.  😂I've been menu planning like this for years and it works great for me.  And those unplanned weekend meals - even though the uncertainty gives me anxiety sometimes - they often turn out to be the best. 

There are times when I make things on the weekend that we've been craving and sometimes I just pull together a meal based on the leftover ingredients that are already in my refrigerator.  Last week, I had a package of chicken in my refrigerator, more than a dozen leftover hard boiled Easter Eggs, a few slices of turkey bacon and a garden that was absolutely overflowing with home grown lettuce.  Throw in a ripe avocado, a few tomatoes and I had everything that I needed for a delicious Grilled Cobb Salad.

What do you have growing in your garden this month?  I've got lettuce, parsley, basil, rosemary, strawberries and 1 raspberry plant.  I started some pumpkin seeds in pots on the porch last month and they're already starting to sprout.   I have plans to move them to the garden as soon.  I can hardly wait to see how many pumpkins I end up with this Fall.  🎃

Ciao!
