Being a self confessed Food Network junkie I have watched Bobby Flay for year and made a few of his dishes. Last fall I visited Mesa Grill while on a trip to NYC and was blown away by the flavor in all of the dishes. When I came home I bought his Mesa Grill Cookbook,…
I had a big bunch of basil from the local market and decided to make a batch of pesto. I was thinking about what I could make with it and remembered several years ago I had made a grilled chicken with vegetables and orzo. You can always use store bought pesto, of course I am…
