I enjoy getting away on a short vacation, but it’s such a chore trying to remember everything that needs to be done prior to leaving. I have all sorts of notes in various locations reminding me what to do, what to bring, when to do it, don’t forget..and so on. There are 2 rooms in the house that look like “Post-It” factories.
Update on Almond Torte Feedback
The first response was good, Mary Ellen says..” OMG – Delicious!” …”Don’t change a thing”
Good news so far.
Family Photos
Sue sent a gorgeous photo of the view from their home in Forestport taken early in the morning and over looking the lake.
She also shared a picture of Oscar the cat.
He is a Mainecoon and a very BIG cat.
Food Bites
Lunch was left overs again but with a beautiful spinach salad with lots of crunch via way of fresh and bright red bell peppers.
Dinner tonight is a “Rolling Sole”.
Preheat your oven to 425 F.
The ingredients: 
- Italian Salad Dressing
- 1 lb of Sole
- Smart Balance
- Asparagus Spears
- Vegetarian Baked “Ham”
- Lite Garlic and Herb Laughing Cow Cheese
- Spinach
- Salt, Pepper to taste.
- Parmesan Cheese
Spread about 1 lb of sole fillets in dish and pour lemon juice over each one. Let sit about 10 minutes.
Line an oven proof dish with foil, and spread Italian Dressing on the bottom. I used Roasted Red Pepper Italian.
Take each fish (side with lines in it facing up), salt, pepper and spread with just a little Smart Balance. Lay spinach leaves on top. Take your Laughing Cow and slice each triangle into 3rds (if you have 6 fillets, you use 1/3 for each fillet). Take 1/3 and put it on top of spinach (you don’t have to try to spread it). Put on a slice of Vegetarian Baked Ham and 3 asparagus spears on top of that. Roll up and secure with a toothpick. Once you have done this with all the fillets, and they are sitting nicely in your lined baking dish on top of the Italian Dressing, you carefully drizzle just a little more dressing on top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake for about 20 minutes. Serve with steamed broccoli.
Tonight I have a new “Women’s Running” magazine to thumb through and then some things that need to be done. But I’m looking forward to a peaceful night.
Hope yours is too. Good night.
