Main Entrees
Grill the Chicken
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest before slicing.
Roast the Vegetables
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Chop bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Bake the Salmon
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place salmon fillets on a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Season with lemon juice, salt, and dill. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Prepare the Stuffed Peppers
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds. In a bowl, mix cooked rice, black beans, corn, salt, and pepper. Fill each pepper with the mixture and place in a baking dish. Add a little water to the bottom of the dish, cover with foil, and bake for 30-35 minutes.
Salads and Sides
Prepare the Caesar Salad
In a large bowl, combine romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, croutons, and parmesan cheese. Toss well to coat and serve immediately.
Make the Garlic Bread
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread butter and minced garlic over slices of bread. Sprinkle with parsley and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Mix the Coleslaw
In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, and coleslaw dressing. Toss until well mixed and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Dessert
Bake the Brownies
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and mix until combined. Pour into a greased baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting into squares.
Prepare the Fruit Salad
Chop assorted fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and pineapple) into bite-sized pieces. Toss together in a large bowl and serve chilled.
