1 (16 ounce) package deli sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 to 1 cup barbecue sauce
Spread sauerkraut evenly on bottom of ungreased 11 x 7-inch baking pan. Place chicken on top, sprinkle with garlic powder. Spread barbecue sauce over chicken. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for about 1 hour until chicken is done.
Rub each piece of chicken with oil, and lay in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour 2 or 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce over chicken. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 1 hour, covered. The chicken and the gravy it makes will be a beautiful golden brown.
Place chicken breasts in a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper. Pour over chicken. Place in oven. Brush with olive oil every 10 minutes, turning chicken pieces over occasionally.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
With mallet, pound chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap.
In small bowl, combine mustard, tarragon and lime juice and mix well with fork. Brush mustard-tarragon mixture on each chicken cutlet. Grill chicken until done, about 4 minutes on each side. Do not overcook.
2 pound(s) asparagus, tough ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoon(s) chili powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt, divided
1 pound(s) tilapia, Pacific sole or other firm white fish fillets
2 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
Directions
Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Put asparagus in a steamer basket, place in the pan, cover and steam until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate, spreading out to cool.
Combine chili powder, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a plate. Dredge fillets in the spice mixture to coat. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook until just opaque in the center, gently turning halfway, 5 to 7 minutes total. Divide among 4 plates. Immediately add lemon juice, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and asparagus to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the asparagus is coated and heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve the asparagus with the fish.

2 pounds zucchini (or a combination of yellow and green zucchini)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup fresh tomato sauce (optional)
1. Using a vegetable peeler, cut the zucchini into lengthwise ribbons. Peel off several from one side, then turn the zucchini and peel off more. Continue to turn and peel away ribbons until you get to the seeds at the core of the zucchini. Discard the core. You can also do this on a mandolin, adjusted to a very thin slice.
2. Cook the zucchini strips in two batches. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When it is hot, add the zucchini ribbons and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Cook, tossing and stirring the zucchini, for two to three minutes, until softened and beginning to turn translucent. Adjust salt and add freshly ground pepper to taste, and transfer to a serving dish. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and zucchini. Serve, topping with tomato sauce and freshly grated Parmesan if desired.
Yield: Serves four
Advance preparation: This dish is best served right away. But you can enjoy leftovers, which I like to eat cold, doused with lemon juice and a drop of olive oil.
