Lime chicken with cilantro cream sauce and roasted zucchini

I greatly simplified this recipe as it looked a bit too complex for my time, but it was still delicious. I also did without the chicken, since it's Friday.

lemon basil pasta salad

A very simple, clean taste-- just what I was wanting after cereal for breakfast and lunch (and a few apple slices and peanuts and raisins throughout the day). Recipe from www.seriouseats.com

From 05/05/2010 (by Eye-Fi)

1 pound farfalle pasta
4 plum tomatoes, cut into 1 inch dice
20 basil leaves, cut into chiffonade
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

2. Put the pasta in a large serving bowl and add the tomatoes, basil, lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Toss well and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Theological Question of the Day

Over lunch, Mali asks: Who can eat this avacado pit?

I respond, "No one eats the pits of avacados."

She thinks it over and then questions, "Can God eat the pit of an avacado?"

bbq yogurt marinated chicken

I saw this recipe on the back of our Brown Cow plain, cream top yogurt and thought I would give it a whirl- and it was a cinch-- and pretty tasty.

1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup olive oil
2 TBSP lemon juice
1 TBSP rosemary
1 TBSP thyme
1 TBSP salt (seriously? i used 1 tsp)
1 TBSP pepper
4 chicken breasts (i made a couple extra for leftovers- there was plenty of marinade)

Mix all ingredients together and add chicken. Let marinate in fridge for at least 2 hours. Grill chicken on med. high. Serve with backyard bbq favorites (so suggests the Brown Cow container). We had ours with corn and baked beans and strawberries.
