Saturday night – 05/04/2013

Sorry for the lack of posts over the past couple of weeks. We were away the last two Saturday nights and our weeknight cooking was lackluster at best.

Spring may have sprung back in March but it was only in the last week or so that the temps were consistently high enough for me to believe Spring had arrived. The forecast for today had the temp near 70°F so I got it in my head that I should grill something. Add in a missing walnut allergy and I had enough to go on to form a menu.

Menu
Grilled Chicken Breast
Spinach Walnut Penne
Chickpeas and Tomatoes with Oregano
Homemade bread a la Ted

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies
