Chicken Patties Recipe (котлетки):  -2 lbs (1 kg) lean Ground Chicken  -1 lbs (500g) White Bread (sourdough if avail.) -1 to 1 1/2  cups Reduced Fat Milk / Whole Milk -2 large Eggs -salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika  -Remove crust from the bread and break it apart, pour milk over it and mash it until it's a fall apart consistency. Add ground chicken, a thin layer or to taste salt, pepper, paprika, garlic and onion powder, 2 eggs and mix everything until a smooth blended consistency achieved.  -Warm 1 tbs of oil in a large frying pan. Using water in between each patty to wet your hands so the meat doesn't stick to your fingers, make patties any shape you wish and add them to the pan. Fry covered on a medium setting on each side for about 4-5 minutes dependent on the thickness. I like to wash the pan in between the batches and adding new oil to prevent any tar on the next batch, but you don't have to :) Enjoy your Russian style patties ♥  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Couscous Cold Salad:  -1 cup of Couscous (or less as it'll double in size) -cubed or split fresh Tomatoes (amount to your taste) -hand full of Basil (chopped) -2 cups (or to your taste) baby Spinach -Feta cheese  -2 tsp Basil Pesto or any of your favorite salad dressings  -Prepare couscous according to instructions, chop basil, cut tomatoes and spinach if needed. Add all ingredients together, mix and let chill in fridge. Bon appetite :) ♥
