Food Case

Two meals that my family eats occasionally are tri-tip, with salad with a side of corn or baked potato. The second would be lemon seasoned grilled chicken breast, again with salad with either brown or white rice. For drinks, we have water, juice, or tea. We always have a salad along with a side to fully compliment the meal being consumed. The first meal I will breakdown will be the tri-tip with salad and a baked potato.
