Marinated Chicken Breasts, Grilled
Grilled or Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Warm Green Bean Salad

Cooking time:  35 minutes for menu           Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

          This is my oldest and most frequently used marinade; slight modifications for beef and pork.  It's easy and made from the pantry. If you can find the flat, Italian Romano beans for this, try them. 

Marinated Chicken Breasts, Grilled

Total time: 30 minutes
   This is a simple marinade made with ingredients found in most pantries.  The chicken is great as is, but will also be good tossed with salads or pastas.

Grilled or Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Total time: 40 minutes
   These get a bit crusty on the outside and incredibly soft and creamy on the inside.  Yes, the skins are edible and good for you ;-))

 Instructions:

Warm Green Bean Salad

Total time: 25 minutes
    Warm beans with bacon bits.... There is something about that combination that never fails to excite the taste buds.  These beans are cooked until tender, rather then being quickly blanched; this is an old-fashioned salad....
