Happy Friday, WeightWise friends. The weekend is so close I can taste it! I get to spend the next two days celebrating my wonderful father on his 60th birthday. We are having a family cookout on the farm. I have some turkey brats and hamburger patties planned and you can bet that I am taking some Turkey Bacon Deviled Eggs and some Bell Pepper Slaw.
With all of the preparation for leaving town tomorrow, I don’t want to spend a ton of time making dinner tonight. So the student intern at WeightWise this week provided a recipe for Mediterranean Chicken. He said that it is super flavorful and easy to make. It will become an instant favorite I’m sure.
