Chicken Caesar Salad

And, of course, an extra sprinkle of fresh parmesan cheese.  Who else LOVES to order a good Caesar salad at a restaurant?! What if you … [Read more...]

Greek Grilled Chicken with Zucchini (Yogurt Marinade)

Is there anything better then firing up a grill during the summer?!  I grew up eating the finest grilled steaks and burgers, grilled on a charcoal grill by my Dad.
