Fourth of July weekend is the kickoff to summer in my house. We always have a lot going on for the holiday so I want great food that is easy to cook. For me that means cooking on the grill. 

Flat iron steak with BBQ rub and served with molasses.

Grilled corn.

Grilled scallops with lemon pepper butter sauce.

My wife recently had surgery and she asked for a soothing meal that warmed her up. Soup and sandwich always makes me feel better and relaxes my mind and body.

I grilled a couple chicken breasts seasoned with olive oil and rosemary pepper. The chicken is used in both the chicken noodle soup and sandwich.

The soup is started with a carrot, onion and celery base. Potatoes and chicken stock are added.  Once the potatoes start to soften up add broken up linguine noodles and the cooked chicken. Add salt and pepper for seasoning.

The sandwich uses a foccacia bread and honey mustard spread. Add chicken and cheddar cheese. It’s cooked until the cheese starts to melt.

These chicken nachos have a smoky taste that tastes great for a snack or sporting event.

The chicken was smoked until fork tender and shredded. If you don’t have smoked chicken handy a grilled chicken breast will taste great too.

Assemble the nacho with a layer of chips, cheese and chicken. Repeat with a second layer.

Bake at 400 degrees until cheese is melted.

Serve with avocado on top.
