Eggplant Accordion

I served this all baked, of course, Friday night, and my guests were very impressed. It really is easy to make. As you can see I sliced an eggplant (on aluminum foil) not quite through. And then between the slices I placed thin slices of tomato, onion and garlic. Then I dribbled a bit of oil, and after that I wrapped it up well in foil and baked until soft.

Honestly, that was it. It was that simple.

One "Tray" Meal, Fish and All The Trimmings

Two nice pieces of salmon are wrapped up in the foil. For me and my husband to have Shabbat afternoon. I did add a bit of oil before baking it. Now it's all covered in foil and in the fridge to be heated up on the electric "platta." All it needs is a salad for a complete meal.

I'll skip the potato; that's why there's just one. I love these "one pot meals."

Another Creative Easy-to-Make Salad

The only equipment you need for this salad is a food processor/grater/shredder.

Yes, those are the ingredient:
carrots, apples, raisins and celery root (celeriac)

• Shred everything but the raisins. 
• Add the raisins and shredded vegetables and fruit to a bowl.
• Pour some olive oil 
• mix and then add freshly squeezed lemon juice.

That's it! You can add seeds and/or nuts, too. Tell me how it comes out, OK! 

Prevent the Salmon from Drying Out

When I serve a fish meal to me and my husband on a Jewish Holiday, I usually run into a sticky situation. The salmon cooks more quickly than the vegetables. So this year I wrapped the fish in foil, adding lemon and garlic to it. And then I put it all in the oven, so we'd have a perfect "one pot meal" on Shavuot.
