DOUBLE TAKE - SEQUINS



Look familiar? They should. Aldo ($90) came out with festive heels clearly inspired by last season's Miu Miu's ($950) style.


PUMPKIN SEED CRUSTED CHICKEN


DIFFICULTY LEVEL: OY!

*

Already totally over the prospect of eating leftover Turkey all month?


The below dish is a nice way to incorporate Fall and Winter into your dinner!


It's quick and easy, full of flavor, and will be wonderful with all of your seasonal side dishes!

**

  • Chicken (I always prefer tenders)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Pepitas (roasted and salted)

Preheat the oven to 500.

In a food processor, chop the pumpkin seeds into small crumbs. Lay out the chopped seeds onto a plate. Add salt and pepper to the pepitas and shuffle around with your finger tips.

Take each piece of chicken and press onto the pepita plate, covering the meat completely. No need for egg or anything like that.

Spray a tin foil lined tray with cooking oil. Arrange the chicken in one layer. Bring the heat in the oven down to 400, and toss the chicken in there for about 20 minutes.

How to Plate: Serve over mashed potatoes, spinach, or perhaps on a salad with some cranberry vinaigrette!

How much do these look like they cost? Expensive and chic, right?

NO-FUSS HUMMUS

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: OY! / OY VEY!

*

Besides the fact that the title rhymes, yes-- this recipe IS no fuss.

Hummus is something I usually buy at the grocery store. No thought crosses my mind that I can make it myself.

Not only is this recipe fresh, but you can completely customize it to your tastes.

All you need is a food processor or Vitamix.

**

  • 1 1/2 cans of chickpeas AKA Garbanzo beans (rinsed and strained but retain a little liquid)
  • approx 1/3 cup of Olive oil -- or more, to taste. This is a time to step it up and buy the fancy kind.
  • OK-MAK crackers or Pita Chips
  • Minced or roasted Garlic (your call if you want any at all)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

OK. This is easy. Throw your bit of liquid from the beans and all of the 1 and a half cans into the blender. Add garlic if you would like.

Once you get the beans in the processor, add olive oil to thicken and smooth. Salt and pepper to taste.

Plate with some pita or crackers in a stainless steel dish (as pictured)
