Day ONE ENDS....

Sometimes  I wonder why I bother planning... lunch was a chicken caesar and a piece of garlic bread from Goody's after three hours of hard work framing the basement followed by another two hours of the same.
Supper.... well.... I pulled out veal instead of steak....duh. So, Amo said he would make veal parmesan and cucumber salad. SOOOOOoooooo Yummy!

RECIPE 1: Veal Parm 
Veal
Bread Crumbs 
Eggs
Milk 
Mozzarella Cheese
Spaghetti (whole wheat) 
Spaghetti Sauce 
Parmesan Cheese


Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat 2 eggs with about 2 tablespoons of milk in a dish. In another dish place bread crumbs (about 1 cup to start). Dip veal in eggs then bread crumbs and place on baking sheet.  Place in oven for 15 minutes (or so) until cooked through. 


Warm spaghetti sauce in a pot over medium heat while veal is in the oven. 


Cook spaghetti as per box instructions. 


Once veal is cooked, spoon sauce over pieces of meat and then cover with mozzarella cheese. Return meat to oven and place on broil for about 5 minutes. Remove from oven once cheese is melted. 


In a pasta dish, place a desired amount of pasta, spoon desired amount of sauce over spaghetti, and top with cooked veal. 


Enjoy! 


RECIPE 2: Cucumber Salad
Cucumber 
Sun-dried tomatoes (the kind that come in the jar packed in oil) 
Roasted red peppers (again, the kind that come in the jar) 
Oregano 
Sea Salt
Olive Oil

Peel and slice cucumber. Cut into quarters. Place in salad bowl. Use a couple of spoon fulls of the tomatoes and the same for the peppers (Amo insists that he cooks by taste not by measurements.... so it's hard to say how much he used of each....lol). Be sure to use a teaspoon or so of the oil from the tomatoes for added flavour. Drizzle mixture with Olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and a little oregano.  If you'd like a little zing to this salad, Drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar.


Enjoy!

And now, I will sign off for the night so that I can go and enjoy a little fruit salad for dessert.  Here's to another delicious day tomorrow.

TODAY'S ACCOMPLISHMENT: 
I didn't eat any of Nevaeh's Easter chocolate that she nibbled on while we watched T.V. (YAY!!!!) 


EXERCISE:
We went for a little walk right after dinner with Nevaeh. Nevaeh rode her bike and we walked behind her around our little block. 
Does working in the basement framing count????
