Admit it. When you see, hear or read the word "Flounder", you think of the movie Animal House. Or is it just me?!?
2 flounder fillets (6 oz each)
1/8 tsp salt
Dash pepper
1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped peeled cucumber
1 green onion, sliced
2 tsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp ground ginger
Place each fillet on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Sprinkle with salt and pepper; top with red pepper, cucumber and onion. Combine the soy sauce, oil and ginger; drizzle over vegetables. Fold foil around mixture and seal tightly.
Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. |

Not many Americans who are now entering their retirement years are like Martha Stewart. She's 71 and still physically, mentally and socially fit.
What's her secrets?
Martha Stewart is an American business magnate, author, magazine publisher, and television personality. She was inspired by her mother who lived into her 90s and was healthy until right away before she died. She said that she always wonders what she's doing to stay healthy.
Stewart just published her new book , Living the Good Long Life: A Practical Guide to Caring for Yourself and Others, that tells people how to take care of oneself in every possible way so you can live well and healthy for a long time.
Her book is very personal and inspirational resource for aging well and caring for others. She shares her experiences, tips, solution, advice and her success stories in maintaining strong health.
Martha Stewart compares aging to a bonsai tree, which is revered in Japan and, with proper care, blooms as it ages. Here are Stewart's "10 Golden Rules" for staying psycally and mentally fit into and beyond middle age:
• Eat well
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Stay physically active
• Get quality sleep
• Wear sunscreen
• Collaborate with a good primary care doctor regularly
• Find your passion
• Connect with others
• Stop complaining — change what you can, and accept what you cannot
• Stay curious
In her 71 she doesn't think about age much at all because she said she has so much to do, so many things to accomplish, and so much to look forward to.
What do you think?

Terrific use of refrigerated sugar cookie dough!
1 tube (16-1/2 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup seedless red grapes, halved
3/4 cup green grapes, halved
1/4 cup orange marmalade
Cut cookie dough into 12 slices, about 3/4 inch thick. On ungreased baking sheets, pat each slice to form 1/2 inch thick circles. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until blended. Spread over cookie crusts, top with grapes.
In a microwave-safe dish, microwave marmalade, covered, on high for 15-20 seconds or until warmed. Drizzle over grapes. |

Another great idea for Meat-Free Mondays, this wrap is as spicy as you want it to be.
Raita:
1 cup reduced fat plain yogurt
1/2 cup drained unsweetened pineapple tidbits
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cumin
Wraps:
2 tsp canola oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 tbsp minced fresh gingerroot
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp each salt, ground cumin and ground coriander
1/4 tsp cayene pepper (more, if you like it spicy!)
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas or garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup diced Roma tomatoes
4 whole wheat tortillas, warmed
3 cups fresh baby spinach
In a small bowl, mix raita ingredients; set aside.
For wraps, in a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender. Add ginger, garlic and seasonings; cook and stir 1 minute longer.
Stir in chickpeas and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-8 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
Near the center of each tortilla, arrange spinach and chickpea mixture; top with raita. Roll up tightly; serve immediately. |
