Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Springer Mountain Boneless Chicken Breast with Private Selection Snacking Tomatoes

Meal: Broiled Home Chef St. Louis Style Ribs with Early California Olives
Description: The fully cooked Home Chef St. Louis Style Ribs are finished under the broiler with a sugar-free dry rub of smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper, developing a caramelized crust in minutes for two.

Since the ribs are fully cooked, total time is well under 30 minutes - just broil for 8-10 minutes to crisp the surface. Skip any BBQ sauce to keep carbs low.
