Pesto Pasta, Chicken And Other Recipes To Eat All Week

Outdoor cooking season is here and if you're looking for a little kick to add to your stack of boring condiments, pesto is the answer. From pastas to salads to seafood, you can add this sauce to just about anything.

And in case you missed it, last week we packed eggplant.
