Easy Cooking on the Weekends

Summertime usually means lighter eating…I mean, who wants to waste the gorgeous weekend sunlight hours worrying what to make for dinner? That is why I enjoy creating light and appetizing dishes that don’t rob me of my weekend pool time.

This grilled chicken is set atop spaghetti pasta with sun dried tomatoes and fresh basil. Making your own sauce is ideal, especially when you use organic ingredients.  Enjoy with a nice glass (or bottle) of Pinot Noir, and you can have a delicious weekend meal that looks (and tastes) good enough to share with friends.
