Grilled Lemon Chicken Breasts
Pasta with Fresh Avocado Sauce
Beans and Tomatoes, leftover

Cooking time: 30 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

     If you have any leftover beans from Saturday, finish them tonight.  As to the Pasta, I call it a Salad...   It's served warm or cold, you can add the cooked sliced chicken on top or not.  It's a very flexible dinner - as summer cooking should be!

Grilled Lemon Chicken Breasts 

Total time: 30 minutes
   Chicken breasts are a favorite on the grill but be careful not to overcook or they tend to dry out.  We prefer to slice them thinly, at an angle, to serve rather than leaving the breast whole, but that, of course is optional!

Pasta with Fresh Avocado Sauce  

Total time: 25 minutes
       Pasta with a creamy avocado sauce and fresh, chopped tomato.  The avocado is heated, just slightly, to make it easier to mash and combine with the other ingredients.  You could use milk in place of the yogurt.
