There's nothing easier than making an entree or main dish with five ingredients or less. Unless you're cooking it on the grill! You don't eat up the house and you get the fun, primeval sensation of cooking over fire. Yum.
Pasta salads are one of my favorite dishes to make in the warm months. They feed a crowd, are delicious and inexpensive, and are easy to make. The salad pictured is my take on the classic Broccoli and Bacon side salad. Just add pasta to turn it into a main dish salad! Try one of these delicious salads for lunch and dinner this week.

If you haven't fired up your grill this year, now is the time to start. And have I got the recipes for you! These best recipes for grilled chicken are simply fabulous. And they're all so easy! If a recipe calls for marinating the chicken, start the recipe the night before you plan to serve it to give the meat time to soak up that flavor and get tender. A nice green salad and some crusty grilled bread are all you need with these simple recipes.
