Like, let’s get all the best stuff on our plates, sneak in some sunshine if we can, find some quiet if it exists anywhere in our lives, and treat ourselves to some midday deliciousness. This week, we’re coming to you with some new extra-extra [chicken wraps](). It’s a two-sauce kind of time over here with this new lunch powerhouse inspired by our friend Ang (of other POY faves like [Ang’s Tortellini Soup]()). It’s quick, fresh, and full of tender, juicy chicken, ripe summer tomato and sweet corn, and a LIL’ CHEESE CRISPY (you read that correctly). Plus, double sauces because why have one sauce when you can have two?! But also, we’re gonna keep celebrating all that summer produce with some game-changing salads. Let’s do grilled cheese, but like, over-the-top grown-up style. And while we’re at it, let’s really doll up some lunch sandwich classics like egg salad and chicken salad, shall we? Here’s what you’ll find in here this week: - The new chicken wrap that has made its way into heavy rotation - Got some extra beets from your CSA? Grab some burrata and let’s go! - Some over-the-top twists on some classic lunch sammies - Have you made the [Puppy Chow]() yet? HAVE YOU?! Lunch game is strong this week, friends. Let’s do this. --------------------------------------------------------------- New Today!
