Helpful hints

Fresh lemon juice and a little splash of olive oil is a great substitute for salt.
After asparagus starts to char, you can push it off to a part of the grill that isn’t in direct flame.
Cook an extra ear of corn for lunch or dinner tomorrow.
Adjust chicken portion to match your meal plan.
