Healthy Side Dish for any meal

I love asparagus and I can honestly say a lot of people do as well. It's so healthy yet so delicious in flavor. For this side dish I simply placed one bunch of asparagus on a sheet of foil paper, make sure when you are preparing your asparagus that you bend the vegetable and where ever the break is thats what you will use, the rest of the stem is just hard and isn't appetizing anyways so why waste time cooking it. Next you want to drizzle some olive oil over the entire thing, cut up some fresh garlic and add that in as well, salt and pepper. Close up the foil bag and place in the over on 350 degrees for about 20 minutes!

Spaghetti & Salad Dinner

This is such an easy and a yummy dinner anyone can pull off. First I used fettucini noodles, this gives the whole dish a different texture. I boiled the noodles on the stove, making sure to season the water with salt and olive oil. Next for the meat sauce I first sauteed some tomatoes and onions. Next I added in some cut up red bell peppers and minced garlic. Once the mixture is sauteed I added in about a half pound of ground beef. I seasoned the beef with some salt, pepper, tumeric and paprika. Lastly I had some softened up tomatoes in the fridge that I wanted to use so I cut them up and placed them into the pot, creating a home made red sauce of my own.

For the salad I decided that a chopped salad would go perfect with the heaviness of the pasta. So I chopped up some lettuce, tomatoes, onions and cucumbers. For the dressing I made a lemon vinaigrette. To do so in a tupperware container I add in some lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lastly some dijon mustard. Once all the ingredients are in the container, put on the lid and shake it up until everything looks mixed together.

For the bread, I used what I had in the freezer to create a garlic bread. rub some fresh garlic cloves on the bread, drizzle a little bit of olive oil and sprinkle on some paprika, oregano, salt and pepper.

Israeli Dinner

One of my favorite dishes to make is schnitzel. It's pretty simple to make and the results speak for themselves. Visit you local kosher market, they usually have specific schnitzel chicken packaged. This chicken is usually pounded out and a lot thinner than regular chicken breast. Next you will need to beat a few eggs, the beaten eggs are used as a gluing component for the bread crumbs. You will next dip your chicken into the beaten eggs and next into the bread crumbs of your choice. I season my bread crumbs with different spices, feel free to use the spices you like. After all of your chicken has been dipped and coated with bread crumbs you will next want to fill a frying pan with some vegetable oil and fry all of your chicken. Make sure to place your cooked chicken on a paper towel before serving to get rid of some excess oil. For the roast potatoes I simply coated them with some oil, paprika, garlic, tumeric,salt + pepper and cumin.

Ahi tuna W/Orzo & Peas

This dinner is a very easy and delicious course you can make for yourself or guest. For the Orzo pasta you need to first boil some water, make sure to add in some salt and olive oil to flavor the pasta. Next you need to place some frozen peas on a frying pan until the peas are warm, followed by adding in one whole chopped tomato and some fresh minced garlic. The pasta will be ready once all of the water has evaporated, add in the pea mixture into the pot with the pasta, season with some salt, pepper, olive oil and paprika.


The Tuna steaks are extremely delicious and can be cooked based on your likings. I cooked my fish well done so it has an almost chicken like texture to it. In a ziplock bag add in some vegetarian hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, salt + pepper, and some cayenne pepper. Next smother the raw sashimi grade tuna with the marinate mixture. To cook the fish you simply need to put some oil on a frying pan and and place the tuna on the pan, flip over and cook both sides.
