VAL'S TILAPIA MILANESE Recipe; Fortuna-AZ


Today begins the 24-hour-weekend 'Island of Rest'; and I wanted to indulge my wifey side … so, I baked this tasty fish dish for Shabbat Supper; and followed it up with my own recipe of yummy Challah Cinnamon Rolls, for desert (follow the link at end of this post).

This recipe does take some time to prepare, but the prep time is worth it: it is delish 👍

##For side dishes, I steamed red baby potatoes & cauliflower (line half the steamer basket with a square of aluminum foil; place potatoes inside and gently fold edge over to top of basket rim, placing edges under basket lip). Place cauliflower florets along remaining basket space: place about 16 ounces of water into the bottom of a steamer pan - bring it to a rolling boil: carefully add steamer basket. The veggies will be fork tender by the time the fish finishes baking.


==Val's Tilapia Milanese ~3 servings

3 6-ounce Tilapia fillets * 1/2 cup Milk * 3/4 cups all-purpose Flour * 1-1/2 cups Texas Toast flavored Croutons, crushed * 3 large eggs * 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil * 1-1/2 TBSP Margarine * Butter flavored Cooking Spray * 8" diameter foil cooking pan

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Line a baking sheet with foil; pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into pan, and gently tip to coat entire pan bottom.

3. Soak the fish in a bowl with the milk 15 minutes; set aside.

4. Place the croutons in a quart size Ziploc, and crush with rolling pin; place onto a shallow dish; set aside.

5. Measure the flour onto a shallow dish; set aside.

6. Lightly beat the eggs in another dish; set aside.

7. Remove each fish fillet, 1 at a time, and dip into the milk - then dredge in flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip in the eggs thoroughly covering the fillet; then gently press fish into the crushed croutons - turning to coat both sides.


8. Place the coated fillet in the lined foil pan.

Repeat with remaining fillets.

9. Dot each fillet with dabs of margarine.

10. Transfer the fish to the oven, and bake until cooked through (about 13 minutes - fillet should 'flake' when pierced with fork tines).

VAL'S LOW CHOLESTEROL CHALLAH CINNAMON ROLLS Recipe; Fortuna-AZ

I've been hungering for cinnamon rolls, so today I hunted down the recipe and made some for an after Supper treat 😉

I haven't used this recipe since August of 2018; it felt good to be enjoying the making & eating of it, again 😁

==Val's Low Cholesterol Challah Cinnamon Rolls ~12 rolls

1 packet of dry Yeast (2-1/4 teaspoons) * 1 cup warm Water (110 - 115 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer) * 2 – 3 TBSP granulated Sugar * 2 teaspoons Sea Salt * ½ cup melted Margarine * ¾ cup Yolk Substitute (5 egg whites) * 4-1/2 cups Flour, unsifted * 3 TBSP. Margarine * a handful of large Raisins * 1/2 cup Walnuts, ground * 1/4 cup granulated White Sugar & 2 TBSP ground Cinnamon, blended * Whipped Cream Cheese Icing

1. Melt 1/2 cup margarine and cool.

2. Meanwhile, dissolve yeast in warm water and allow it to bubble. Add sugar, salt, and saffron.

3. Add margarine, yolk substitute, and 3 cups of the flour – stir until well blended.

4. Gradually add remaining flour. Knead on a floured surface until dough is smooth and elastic; about 10 minutes.

5. Place in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm spot until double in size: about 2 hours.

6. Punch dough down and knead a few minutes.

7. Roll dough flat, into a rectangular shape.

8. Smear dough with 3 TBSP softened margarine - leaving 1/2" top edge clean; sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, then spread with raisins & walnuts. Gently roll dough into a long, tubular shape - gently pinching dough together along the clean end to seal.


Cut rolled dough into 12 equal pieces, and place in a greased baking pan. Let rise until double in size: about 1 hour.

9. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 25 minutes.

10. Cool on a rack; frost with icing.

ENJOY! 😁


Human Metapneumovirus or HMPV 2025

Right on schedule …

These "new outbreaks!" & "return to covid measures!" will continue to be peddled every 6 months for the rest of our lives.

barak hussein obama gave WHO his mandate to orchestrate medical emergencies for political gain … and the NWO was granted unlimited power during the obiden regime debacle.

I'm just surprised this announcement wasn't made sooner - like on the campaign trail to give the demonrats losing team a boost. But then, we all KNOW the mandated BOOSTERS did NOT WORK the last time the demonrat regime rolled them out and demanded we all roll our sleeves up and "submit! dammit!!"

There may - or may not - be a "new virus!" circling the globe: given the way the obamanites, the WHO devotees, and the NWO tyrants behaved during covid … I'm keeping my sleeves down and going about MY business "as usual".

I'm not being stupid - or flippant - about precautions; but I'm not going to live in fear either of "what if" 🙏

My Life has always been a crap shoot: I was born with a faulty heart and weak lungs … if I did everything the Drs. suggested 🤔, I'd never get out of bed, live a couch-potato existence, and wait to die. That is not living 😒

I choose to live - I choose to live my life, my way.

No one else has to agree with me.

No one else is ME.

So far, I've dodged every bullet aimed at me, to stop me in my tracks.

I'm going to continue to dream big and live abundantly.

I choose intentional living.

NO mask.

NO vaccine.

NO goose-stepping to political mandates.

MY life.

MY choice.

MY walk through this Life: we only get 1 chance to enjoy this passage of time.

{{There is a new flu-like virus on the rise in China and other parts of Asia and it is beginning to raise concern amongst those still reeling after the COVID pandemic. It’s called human metapneumovirus or HMPV and it’s a respiratory illness which affects millions of individuals every year. The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for the reinstatement of restrictions implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic}}

Have people forgotten already what it was like the last time WHO and the parroting obamanites put severe restrictions of covid in place?

Let me refresh your lax memory:

a) People were forced to stay inside their home under threat of arrest.

b) neighbors were encouraged by local, and DC government "leaders", to openly spy & tattle on "those who refuse to comply".

c) elderly people were rushed to hospitals where they were infected … and sent back to home or nursing homes to spread the infection & die - taking others with them to the grave.

d) media whores (like the cuomo brothers) actually faked illness for attention and subscription spikes.

e) biden locked himself in his basement, where his wife sat with him in "a zoom meet" (knowing he was in the grip of dementia) and monitored every word that he spoke: and another disastrous obama coup was "won" 🤬

f) the mad scientist fauci was catapulted to political fame by openly lying to the public and promoting national shut-downs that undermined families & destroyed friendship connections, ruined America's economy, shut down Churches, open-air Christian gatherings, placed "no trespassing" fencing around Congressional buildings … WHILE keeping DC {secret} meeting rooms for MASKLESS congressional members bent on building cases against a President they hated and "his followers", mosques, sports bars, and abortion clinic nationwide OPEN, and continuously fostered wide-spread fear-mongering; and while all this was taking place, the mad obamanite puppet became the poster child for hysterical madness - and was the suck-up-media darling.

Due to the obamanite mandates, and placements of unscrupulous political puppets with an axe to grind against "white, Christian" Americans, America was thrown into a recession - and a race war -  we may never recover from.

g) during the government shut-down and public lock downs … unscrupulous political leaders, and ambitious State leaders, parroted the obamanite mandates and used the political darkness to openly and actively go against the "garbage of society" like Christians, and supporters of their "filthy rich white man" political opponents.

The covid madness was an obamanite experiment of world dominance on steroids.

Fact Check: Human metapneumovirus in China is not ‘new,’ no state of emergency declared: https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/human-metapneumovirus-china-is-not-new-no-state-emergency-declared-2025-01-09/

“Regarding hMPV: this is not a new virus,” … the virus was first discovered in 2001, but retrospective serologic studies, opens new tab found hMPV antibodies present in humans at least 70 years ago. It is a common virus, that causes respiratory symptoms similar to the common cold, especially in winter and spring and among young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.

What is HMPV? It's a respiratory virus. And it usually only causes mild illness similar to a cold, the federal government's National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) website says. But it can make some people sick, leading to bronchitis or pneumonia.

American Lung Association: https://www.lung.org/lung-health-diseases/lung-disease-lookup/human-metapneumovirus-hmpv/learn-about-human-metapneumovirus-hmpv

Symptoms include cough, fever, runny or blocked nose, headache and tiredness.

1) It often causes upper respiratory infections, but it can sometimes cause lower respiratory infections like pneumonia, asthma flare-ups, and COPD to worsen. 

2) HMPV usually causes symptoms like the common cold that last roughly 2-5 days but can vary depending on how sick you get and symptoms typically go away on their own.

3) HMPV spreads from person to person or surfaces to person. Symptoms include cough, fever, nasal congestion, and shortness of breath. Your health care provider can test, however, there is no treatment. Prevention measures include hand washing, cleaning surfaces, and staying home when sick.

4) Can human metapneumovirus be treated? Supportive treatment for patients varies with the severity of the illness but generally treatment consists of fever reducers, antihistamines, breathing treatments and other means of providing comfort to the patient until the illness resolves.
