I don't know about you, but I eat completely different in the summertime versus the winter months. In the summer, I like to eat light, fresh, cool meals like salads & lots of fruit. In the winter, I prefer warm meals like soups, stews & casseroles-comfort foods.
Barbecue Chicken Salad
Here are a few of my favorite quick & easy summer meals. Serve them with froit on the side- since there is so much of it this time of year. Both of them are very adaptable to your tastes. There are no proportions because it's all by sight on these recipes.
