Weekend Food for 12/26 and 12/27/2009

Originally, the thought for Saturday was to have BBQ pork loin chops, but when the weather turned out to be cold and possible rain, we changed the recipe. Here’s the result: ad-lib pork vegetable soup.

Sunday: Chicken breast with penne pasta, marinara sauce and broccoli-cauliflower medley.
