Weekly Motivational

Good Morning,
I try to keep these short and to the point but this one is too good to pass up. Make it your best week yet and take care.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand.

Woodrow Wilson (1856 - 1924)

Recipe of the Week

Orzo SaladRecipe courtesy Giadia De Laurentis of the Food Network

Ingredients:
4 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups orzo
1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups red and yellow teardrop tomatoes or grape tomatoes, halved
3/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
About 3/4 cup Red Wine Vinaigrette,
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
Pour the broth into a heavy large saucepan. Cover the pan and bring the
broth to a boil over high heat. Stir in the orzo. Cover partially and cook until the orzo is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes. Drain the orzo through a strainer. Transfer the orzo to a large wide bowl and toss until the orzo cools slightly. Set aside to cool completely. Toss the orzo with the beans, tomatoes, onion, basil, mint, and enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad, to taste, with salt and pepper, and serve at room temperature.Red Wine Vinaigrette1/2 cup red wine vinegar 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons honey 2 teaspoons salt 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil Mix the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a blender. With the machine running, gradually blend in the oil. Season the vinaigrette, to taste, with more salt and pepper, if desired.

Yield: 1 3/4 cups

Have a great weekend and enjoy!!
