Dinner was grilled chicken breast on whole wheat noodles covered with toasted nuts in olive oil. A small salad joined the main dish. Desert was poached pear with a little chocolate sauce.

This meal is easy, and takes about 20 minutes start to finish to prepare.

Instructions:
1. Turn on grill to cook chicken.
2. Begin boiling 3 cups water.

The poached pears are super easy.
1. Core the pear from the bottom. A spoon is the easiest way. Dig out the bottom until you get all the seeds.
2. Skin the pear.
3. Cut pear where it starts to narrow. This should leave a hole through the pear from removing the core.
4. Place pear in boiling water.

6. Remove pear and add chococlate chips, ice cream or whipped cream to hole of pear.
