The eleventh video is up on ThursdayForDinner.com called Oven Roasted Chicken with Lemon Potatoes.
This is the perfect meal to make on a weekend afternoon. It is simple and healthy and fills the house with wonderful smell. Add a side of salad and it is perfect for family gatherings!
The tenth video is up on ThursdayForDinner.com which is all about making a Greek classic Gigantes/Yiyantes or Giant Baked Beans.
This is a nutritious and wonderfully satisfying vegetarian dish. The name ‘yiyantes’ comes from the Greek word for giant (‘giant beans’). Yiyantes can be cooked a couple of different ways, and in this recipe Eva shows us how to prepare these giant beans in tomato juice baked in the oven (plaki-style).
The ninth video is up on ThursdayForDinner.com with Dipali showing how to make Cabbage Sambharo or Warm Spiced Cabbage Salad. Cabbage Sambharo is a Gujarati side dish similar in look and feel to coleslaw or salad. Visit Thursday for Dinner for the full recipe.
I came across a great feature by Forbes that asked key individuals the advice that most influenced their lives. I particularly like what Tony Robbins said:
In 1979, when I was 19, I had all these people giving me conflicting advice. Jim Rohn, a personal-development speaker, said, ‘Tony, think about it this way. If your worst enemy drops sugar in your coffee, what’s going to happen to you? Nothing. But what if your best friend drops strychnine in your coffee? You’re dead. You have to stand guard at the door of your mind.” He was saying that the selection of [my friends and advisors] will matter more than anything else, and that you can’t take anybody’s approach as sacrosanct.
The seventh video is up on Thursday for Dinner titled Irene’s Pastitsio.
Pastitsio is a layered pasta casserole, also known as “Macaronia tou Fournou” (pasta cooked in the oven). It is a very popular dish throughout Greece and is the perfect dish to make for a large family gathering or party, as it yields a large number of pieces. Pastitsio consists of layers of pasta, a layer of ground beef, and a thick béchamel sauce.
Check out the video and recipe on Thursday for Dinner.
