Veal Scaloppine for Two
"We had this dish at a supper club in Wisconsin 10 or 15 years ago, and it took me months to come up with the recipe. Actually, it took about three bites - the months were the time I spent waiting for veal to be on sale. Fortunately, with the cheese on top, you can't eat too much of it, so it doesn't take a lot of the veal. Measurements are approximate. If you're cooking for one, you can cook enough spaghetti for one serving and refrigerate half the veal mixture for reheating the next day."

I did leave out the mushrooms (personal preference) but followed the rest of the recipe. This was very good and easy to make. I had one serving over spaghetti and the next day I used the leftover veal for Recipe #53346 by Nancy Jo. Made for PAC Spring 08. Thanks for posting Nancy Jo.

I live in NW Indiana, near Chicago, retired more than 3 years ago. I'm on our local school board and play alto sax in a community band. I can't choose a favorite cookbook, because I have about 20 feet of shelves with nothing BUT cookbooks. One of the "ideas" listed for this was, "If you have a month off--no work, no responsibilities...." I've had the no work, but the responsibilities are still there. And what I do is put things off until tomorrow because there's plenty of time. Even if there isn't. One of my pet peeves is not being able to find things in my kitchen. Since my son moved back in, and he cooks, and he uses my kitchen...I'm peeved a lot.
