Tilapia & Summer Vegetable Packets

Barbecued anything in the summer heat is always a hit with me. It is just yummy and has a lack of cleanup. This is especially true for this recipe which is also very healthy and much more flavorful compared to eating grilled chicken and steamed vegetables every day. For those of you who don't like or haven't tried fish, I would highly recommend giving the tilapia try. It is very bland, kinda like chicken, and absorbs flavors of foods cooked with it. Once you try it you can't help but like it. Trust me.

Pesto

If you have never tried pesto your are in for a big treat. Its a light oily sauce flavored with basil and garlic. This sauce is quick to make as toss with some of your favorite pasta to enjoy instead of using boring tomato sauce.

Chicken Kabob

I thought I should post an easy summer recipe that is great to enjoy in the heat. Kabobs are on of my favorite things to enjoy out by a pool. They require a little prep work, but are much better than the store bought versions. The prep work is quickly accomplished when you have a helper to do some of the chopping and assembly as I did with my girlfriend.
