GF Monday Night Football

You ever wonder what America would be like without Monday Night Football? All my life I have experienced football on Monday nights during the months September to December. If you are not a fanatic or you are just not into the entertainment value of football like so many are, then I guess you wouldn't understand MNF meals. The best part about MNF meals is that you can go out to a sports bar, tailgate, dine out or dine in/bbq at home.

One of my favorite things to eat for football would be anything bbq. The other day Megan and I were in Whole Foods doing our normal shopping and she came across this Thai jasmine rice from Thai Kitchen. She showed it to me and said "you can make this". It was green chili and garlic jasmine rice. I thought about it and convinced myself that if I can create any dish gluten free I can definitely do this.

So a week goes by and I am still trying to figure out what I am going to make with this rice and when would be a good time to make it. Then I came up with the idea of Thai bbq chicken. The simplicity of making your own bbq sauce along with how simple rice is to make made this the perfect MNF meal.

 

Thai BBQ Sauce:
