Barbecue chicken/2 recipes

Bell peppers and sausages are cooked in a tasty tomato sauce, then served over a bed of warm penne. An ideal meal for a busy week night.

Absolutely delicious. We made this recipe for Mother's Day, and everyone raved about how yummy it was. Roasted vegetables added tons of flavor, plus the outer layer was so crispy. Definitely a winner!

Oven-roasted cherry tomato and garlic make this delicious dip absolutely addictive. Sweet, tangy and garlicky. You can dip some crunchy vegetables into it, spread it over the toast or toss it with some pasta. Heirloom or vine-ripe tomatoes work well too.

A sweet and sour dipping sauce that's perfect for chicken nuggets or chicken fingers.

This lower-fat chicken tetrazzini is as satisfying as full-fat version.

Veggie burgers with lentils, carrots, cashew with a hint of curry.

Sautèing asparagus with bacon (pancetta) and leeks is an excellent way to cook asparagus and keep it perfectly tender-crisp and finished with pine nuts and aromatic garlic. Lemon and orange zest make this side a sophisticated, delicious variety of textures and flavors.

Beef in a sweet red bell pepper sauce spiked with jalapeno, garlic, ginger and subtle spices. Colorful and easy preparation.

Barbecued Chicken Wings recipe

Tender chicken breast with a honey-peanut ginger glaze, served with noodles. Clean and refreshing Thai-style flavor.

Low-fat, super lean pork loin chops, glazed with tangy and sweet honey Dijon sauce and baked until perfect.

Panettone (Italian Fruitcake) recipe

Too lazy to cook, but still want something tasty, this Mediterranean pasta salad will fit your need. Pasta is tossed with olive oil, roasted bell peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese and olives.

I prepared this sans the pork as I had none. I added frozen peas, some fresh diced carrot and rinsed and drained bean sprouts. YUM!

I make triangles and leave out the mizithra or cottage cheese (too wet for these). Great appetizers if you make them small.
