1 box Parmesan couscous (we use the Near East brand)
1 packet frozen riced cauliflower or broccoli (10-12 oz)
Crumbled feta (6-8 oz)Cook couscous as directed on box. Microwave river cauliflower as directed on package. Mix everything together.
I serve with some fresh fruit on the side.

I usually have leftover cooked or rotisserie chicken and left over crusty bread or sandwich rolls in the freezer. I use whatever cheese I have in the fridge, grate it, toss it with a bit of cornstarch, and add it to the fondue pot filled with simmering chicken/bone broth and a bit of garlic paste to make a cheese fondue. Serve it with the chicken, bread, whatever veggies and fruit are around. So easy, fast and yum!

Milanesas!
An Argentine staple (unofficial “meal of the country” which even has a dia de la Milanesa May 3rd!) it’s a favorite of all ages
You can make them out of beef, veal, chicken, fish, soy… pick your protein! The protein is thinly sliced and wrapped in crumbled bread which is mixed with eggs and seasoning so it becomes a sort of schnitzel (key difference there’s no flour involved).
Pre heat oven at 375-400F and bake for 12-15 mins. Boom. It’s that easy, even if they are coming from the freezer, which is how we usually roll. We make pounds and pounds of them on a given weekend and freeze them in batches in ziplocks so all you have to do is take one out, bake and maybe prepare an easy side (rice, mashed potato both work great).
- You can also fry them and then you’d be in heavenFinally, you can add topings! (each topping combination in Argentina has a name :)\
- Napolitana with tomato and cheese\
- A caballo (horseback riding) with a Sunnyside egg on top\
- Completa with ham cheese and tomato\
- and many more! your imagination is the limit!

PS Yes Milanesa would have you thinking they are from Milan… and the inspiring dish is indeed from there: the yummy cotoletta alla milanese

German pancakes are a staple at our house! They are so quick, feed a crowd, customizable to everyone’s likes, and has an awesome amount of protein! We have chickens & they use a ton of eggs to help us rotate when we need to as well!
