Whole Grain Pasta Salad in Bright Lemon-Basil Pesto with Grilled Garlic Chicken and Pine Nuts

Welcome to The Cozy Apron—so glad to have you as a guest at my table! Here's where I share my passion for food, people and life through my culinary creations and my writing; and where my husband shares his love for food photography and all things visual. Food inspires me to connect to people in the spirit of love and nurture; it is something tangible that gives taste to the intangible. When we add a generous sprinkle of love to the meals that we prepare, there's truly a magical thing that happens: the food itself comes alive, as does the soul of the one partaking of it. So whether you're cooking for family, for friends or even for yourself, always do it with love, for love's sake.
