Tastes-like planked Salmon
10 minutes to prepare. 5-8 minutes to cook. Take time to sit and enjoy your meal!
serves 1 (can be doubled or tripled)

one 4-6 oz slice of Salmon Fillet
2tsp Maple Syrup
1/2 tsp Soy Sauce
Fresh Grated Ginger optional

Combine Syrup and Soy Sauce.
Spread on top of Fillet.
Place under broiler
(Cover broiler pan with foil to ease clean up.)
Broil 4-6 minutes depending on thickness
of fillet, until done.

While the salmon is broiling, place a potato in the microwave (stab it with a fork first to create steam vents) and cook for 3-5 minutes – depending on your microwave. Place a portion of frozen broccoli on your plate and microwave it for for one minute after you have done the potato. Fish, potato, and broccoli will all come out together.

Potato-Bean Patties
10 minutes to prepare. 10-15 minutes to cook. Serve with a salad.
(Adapted from Jane Broody's Good Food Book)

This is a great recipe for left over mashed potatoes, or, as a time saver, you can use the instant ones that don't have all the additives.

(again, use the kind without additives)
1 Egg White
Salt and Pepper to taste - optional

1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
Cooking Spray or a little oil for cooking

Combine the potatoes, beans, egg white, salt, pepper and parsley.
Shape into patties.

Recipe for Relaxation - Deep Breathing
90 seconds. Effect: Immediately

This is perfect for a quick de-stresser.
Take a full deep breath in through your nose. Fill your belly, not your shoulders.
Hold your breath for a slow count of five.
Slowly release your breath, blowing out as if you were blowing through a straw.
When you are completely empty, repeat the process for a total of 3 breaths.
Remember to Take Time to Breathe!
