Antipasto means “before the meal” and is a traditional first course of formal Italian meals. I’ve included some of the components of traditional antipasto into salad form.
Ingredients:
Romaine lettuce
Black Olives
Green Olives
Artichoke hearts
Peperoncini
Hard Salami
Mozzarella/ Mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto
Roasted red pepper
Fennel

Helpful hints: You can substitute pepperoni instead of hard salami. You can add provolone cheese.

Eclair Cake
This dessert is low in sugar, low in fat but best of all it doesn’t taste like it. I first came across this recipe from a friend while living in West Virginia. There are two young ladies who help me when I do these videos. One films and the other helps with clean-up (Thanks Candice and Erica). They both couldn’t wait for me to finish so that they could taste it. They loved it. I hope you love it too.
Ingredients:
3 small packets of Sugar-free vanilla pudding
4 cups of skim milk
1 box of graham crackers
2 8 oz tubs of cool whip
2/3 cups Coco powder
Skim milk
Sugar (to taste)

Helpful hints: Use a sharp knife to shape graham crackers. You can substitute sugar-free chocolate pudding as a variation (I prefer the vanilla believe it or not.) Don’t cover the éclair cake when you place it in the refrigerator to give the coco topping a chance to adhere to the graham cracker and not to the lid you use to cover.

Chicken Parmesan
This is one of my family’s favorite dishes that I make. The kids always request it when they visit. After learning how to make my mom-in-law’s sauce this was the next recipes she shared with me.
Ingredients:
Chicken breasts (cut into cutlets)
Bread crumbs (seasoned)
Egg
Milk
Oil
Sauce (see this video here)
Parmesan cheese
Mozzarella
Video:
Helpful hints: Make this dish the day before because it makes the chicken tender sitting in the sauce overnight. You can cook your favorite pasta or ravioli as a side dish. Add just sausage to your sauce to make it easier.
Hope you enjoy this dish.
