I hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer! It is hot here in beautiful North Carolina - thank heavens we live close to the beach because I plan to spend some serious time there this weekend. You will notice that my heart is also at the beach this week with all the seafood and relaxed summer menus. I'm all for the cooks having a grand summer, too!
You will find that I use several cooking methods to speed dinner prep including prepared foods. When you have a bit more time, you can always substitute the prepared foods with your made-from-scratch recipes.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Buttered Penne Pasta
Summer Squash Medley
