Mediterranean Dinner

Hey everybody! I have some great recipes for you to make a summer Mediterranean dinner (hence the title :) 


I started using www.kitchenmonki.com  to organize all my recipes. Its a great website where you can enter in recipes then organize and share them. I added a bunch that I clipped out of magazines and cookbooks. I also picked up a recipe for this chicken I am going to share below. If you are like me and want all your recipes in one place and nicely organized- this is a great site. I added the links to the recipes on kitchenmonki if you want to check it out. 

So enjoy this healthy summer dinner!
