01-27 Portland Oregon Eggs Benedict

Dad and I went to a cute 60-70s retro restaurant (think Brady Bunch) in Lake Oswego
but when we went back a few months later, it was transformed into a pub =(
I've never seen this light version again so I am glad I took notes.

Assemble into sandwich:
1 English muffin, toasted
2-4 fresh baby spinach leaves, rinsed and dried
1-2 thin slices of tomato
3-4 slices of avocado
1 poached egg or over easy egg, really any cooked egg will work
1-2 T Hollandaise Sauce (can buy in jar) (Optional but really good)

Eat with an orange and be full until lunch!
Just read that Bechamel sauce (see 01-30) is a good substitute...will try it.
Yumm! Sauce would be really good, too.
*If you have a long morning or are really hungry, add :
a heated slice of Canadian bacon

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
