Cures for the one, the only, HANGOVER!



Let's face it, a glass of wine, or a mixed drink, and maybe even a beer a time or two is good for the soul. But, what happens when we have just a bit too much to drink? Oh yea! That dreaded, awful, disgusting hangover! No one likes to feel like they need to lay in bed ALL day the day after drinking! So, I have done a little research on what exactly can help to cure hangovers. :)

  1. The night of, alternate drinks with a glass of water. Yes, this is totally easier said than done, but prevention is the best medicine.
  2. Keep vitamins and aspirin next to your nightstand so you can pop some before you go to bed.
  3. If you wake up feeling like you just got run over, steady yourself and head to a boozy brunch.
  4. Eat the greasiest dish possible.
  5. Eat two boiled eggs to help soak up the alcohol! ( I tried this one, and it did help :) )
  6. Sleep.

Dinner for 2!



Whether it's a first date or you've been together, it's always nice to make dinner for him! It's quite and romantic, and he has to do absolutely NOTHING! Guys always love that :) My advice to you now, is to choose a good "date" food. Italian is always a nice choice because it's so inherently romantic! I have included my favorite Italian recipe below that is a for sure hit! 


CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA OVER LINGUINE 

Ingredients:
1 lb. linguine
Salt and black pepper (optional)
6 (3 ounce) chicken cutlets, pounded to evenly flatten
1 lb. prosciutto, sliced thin
Fresh sage leaves (can use a sprinkle of dried sage in a pinch)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
1 tbsp. butter
Shredded Parmesan

Directions:
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook for four minutes. While pasta is boiling, flatten the chicken breasts with a mean pounder. If desired, sprinkle cutlets with salt and black pepper, but this is not necessary, as prosciutto is salty. Top cutlets with a sage leaf. Press one slice of the prosciutto atop each cutlet. Then dust lightly in flour. Set aside. In a skillet over medium-high heat add one cup of chicken stock and one tbsp. butter. Place cutlet in skillet and cook with prosciutto side down until golden brown, about four minutes per side; add chicken stock as needed and simmer 8-12 minutes. Remove chick from heat. Drain pasta and add to the chicken broth in skillet for two minutes. Saute some sage leaves while you assemble pasta and cutlet on a plate. Top with shredded Parmesan and crumbled sage leaves as garnish.
