Greek salad, sweet and sour Tilapia, and mini brocolli cupcakes. August 27, 2008
Sweet & Sour Tilapia:
THis recipe was inspired by the avenue plaza sesame fish that they serve, It is the most delicious fish I ever tasted, and I don’t usually enjoy fish!
I got the recipe from my mom, she always makes it!
( I do not have the exact measurements for the batter, so just follow any basic batter recipe that you use on chicken or anything… basically some flour, eggs, spices, water…)
Take your tilapia and cut in chunks.
batter them, and fry till golden.
Sauce:
3/4 cups bbq sauce
3/4 cups duck sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
mix, pour over fish ( which should be in a foil pan) and let it hang out in the oven on 350 for around 20 minutes.
Served with:
mini brocolli cupcakes:
They are called cupcakes cuz they are made in cupcake tins! don’t start thinking that cupcakes are all of a sudden healthy!! 
cook brocolli till soft, drain water.
blend with hand blender, and add 3 eggs, mayo, bread crumbs, onion soup mix, salt, pepper…
spray pans very well, otherwise they will stick. spoon mixture into pans, and sprinkle cornflake crumbs on top.
bake at 375 for 40 minutes

Bubbie’s Lasagna: August 27, 2008
This recipe has been passed down in my family for a three generations. I’ve made a few changes to it, but it is seriously the best lasagna ever, and incredibly quick and easy to prepare. For a diet version, use Dreamfield’s pasta (which is what I used here). For an added time saver, use no-bake lasagna noodles.
1 box cooked lasagna noodles
2 small containers cottage cheese
American cheese
1 package shredded mozzarella cheese
4 cans tomato sauce
Salt
Pepper
Lemon juice
Garlic Powder
Oregano
*NOTE: All measurements except for noodles and mozzarella cheese are approximate. If you want more layers, you will need more cottage cheese, tomato sauce, and American cheese. This makes a two layer lasagna in a 9×11 pan.*
Pour tomato sauce into medium bowl. Season with salt, pepper, a dash of lemon juice, and plenty of oregano, to taste.
Lay down several noodles on bottom of pan to cover. Spoon a generous amount of sauce on top, then drop spoonfuls of cottage cheese all over and spread to even out a bit. Layer American cheese evenly over that layer.
Then layer more noodles, sauce, cottage cheese, American cheese, noodles, sauce, and top with mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 375 for one hour, or until sides start to bubble and cheese is golden brown on top. Or it looks like the picture.
Once removed from oven, allow to sit for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
