It is the middle of summer, which means it is hot, hot, hot! When it is this toasty outside, I like to keep my food on the lighter side, and easy to cook. This is a great go-to recipe that you will not feel bad about indulging in!
Best thing about this meal? You can make more than one serving, at one time, and have some leftover for the next day!
