DIFFICULTY LEVEL: OY!

*

I'm getting "wedding dress ready."

It's just about 4.5 months until the big day and I need to start stepping up my game. Big time.

Here is a new favorite of ours that is amazingly delicious, affordable and easy to make for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Who could ask for more?

**

• 1/2 pound of pre-cooked chicken cutlets, chopped
• Packet of instant brown rice (use only 1/3 cup cooked)
  
• 1/3 cup of pre-made, fresh Pico de Gallo
• 1/2 cup of egg whites
• salt and pepper to taste

In a pan, cook your egg whites with a dash of salt and pepper. Make your brown rice as the box instructs. Warm up your cooked chicken.

How to Plate: On a large crisp plate, display all of the elements separately, to be mixed upon consumption.

FILO-CRUSTED SALMON STUNNER

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: OY VEY!

*

While sitting Shivah for my grandma, my father's friend who knew I was “in Hollywood,” approached me for chit chat. The small talk turned into a feature film pitch.

Talk about being inappropriate.

But in the chaos of many of life's ups and downs, there is always something appropriate-- a good hearty meal. And this may be just the ticket (another family specialty).

This dish is perfect for a dinner party!

**

• Salmon filet (boneless)
• Filo dough (in frozen food aisle)
• Fresh dill
• Bottle of Cardini’s Original (it’s Kosher!)
• Sour cream (low fat)

Defrost Filo and unwrap 4 pieces. Rinse and dry the salmon. Break up little pieces of dill and spread around on fish. Wrap with the 4 layers of Filo. If using a long piece of salmon, overlap lengthwise, multiple batches of the 4 layers over the whole piece of fish. Lay salmon on a PAM-sprayed baking tray, spray a little Pam on top of filo, and bake on 350 for about 20-25 minutes, until browning on top.

In a microwaveable bowl, use: 1 part dressing, 1 part sour cream, and a handful of dill. Microwave until hot.

How to Plate: Cut the salmon into pieces and spoon sauce on top. Enjoy!

Treif: You can bake chicken wrapped in filo dough too! Follow the recipe and enjoy.

**This dish is great hot or cold**

I'M BACK!

This past week has been rough, to say the least.

Rougher than most.

You know what you do when life (heartless people) gets you down?

Cook.

Well... Cook, stuff your face, buy some shoes, and cook. All you can do is get back up and face the heat in the kitchen.

That's what I did, so I will have some wonderful NEW recipes and fabulous heels to share this week!
