Ilias is a good friend of mine, who I met in Meron Bareket’s Podcast Incubator Bootcamp (in the beta test version.) He, like I am, is creating a podcast to help others in his region be more successful in their businesses. He lives in Thessoloniki (sometimes referred to as Salonica), Greece and works as a civil engineer
Ilias also shares his mother’s secret recipe for his favorite food in the show notes!
For the pasta
▪ 500g pasta for Pastitsio (1 pound dry)-available at Greek or ethnic groceries. (You can substitute ziti or penne )
For the béchamel sauce
▪ 1/2 cup butter
▪ 1/2 cup all purpose flour
▪ 1 lt milk warmed
▪ 2 eggs
▪ 1 cup parmesan cheese
▪ salt
▪ nutmeg
For the meat sauce:
▪ 600 gr. Ground beef or preferably veal
▪ 400 gr. Tomato sauce
▪ 2 onions minced
▪ 2 garlic cloves thinly minced
▪ 3 tbsp. olive oil
▪ salt, pepper
1. For the meat sauce, heat olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add the onions and the garlic and sauté for 5 minutes until they are translucent. Then add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat until pink color disappears, about 5-15 minutes. Add tomato sauce, salt, and pepper and allow sauce to simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, until sauce is ready.
2. While sauce is simmering put water on to boil for pasta.
3. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. When butter starts to bubble, using a whisk, add flour to melted butter whisking continuously to make a smooth paste or roux. Allow the flour/butter mixture to cook for a minute but do not allow it to brown.
4. Add warmed milk and eggs to mixture in a steady stream, whisking continuously. Simmer over low heat until it thickens but does not boil.
5. Add pinch of nutmeg, pepper, salt and the 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese and stir in. If sauce still needs to thicken, return to heat and cook over very low heat while continuing to stir.
6. Brush the bottom and sides of the lasagna pan with olive oil. Layer the bottom with half the pasta and sprinkle 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese.
7. Add the meat filling in an even layer to the pasta. Top with remaining pasta and then add the final layer of béchamel sauce.
8. Bake in 350 F (180 C) degree oven for approximately 1 hour or until the top is a nice brown.

We all want to be comfortable. We want nice homes, nice cars and a good job with benefits. We want the security if a retirement plan, and the knowledge that our future days will be similar to our past days.
But does that stimulate growth?
What if growth requires the acceptance of the uncomfortable? What if you need to confront fear and risk, and step forward without knowing exactly what is in front of you?

Scott Wilson is an electrical and telecommunication engineer for a large nuclear powerplant in Ontario, Canada. I met through LoseIt! Scott is an active member, helping others continue on their weight loss journey. Scott is an enthusiastic guy, busy with family and career, but yet still finds time to enjoy life.
He also knows how to properly complain! (He is a very nice guy, but is very effective when he encounters a problem. Be bold!)
Scott’s favorite quote:
For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: “It might have been!” (John Greenleaf Whittier)
The show notes for every episode will include links to products, people and services that were mentioned in the episode. A notice of total disclosure, I may have affliations with some of those products and services that are linked here. That means that when you click on a link and purchase that product, I will receive a small commission on that sale. It will not increase your cost at all, but it will help financially support me as I continue to bring assistance to you and anyone who wants to achieve their goals.
I swear by Lose It! It is the first time I was able to lose weight, and more importantly, keep it off! It is easy to use, works on iOS and Android (not Windows Phones, sorry) and has an online platform, too. It combines the ease and simplicity of calorie counting with the social networking of Facebook. Many users report that they are on their LoseIt activity streams more often than they are on Facebook. There is a free version (which really works!) and a premium version, The premium version allows trackign food in the future (for better planning), setting non-weight-based goals (body fat, measurements, nutrients, blood pressures and many more). When you have premium, you can also create your own community groups and challenges. One of the nicest features of premium is that it allows you to synch your Lose It! account with other devices and applications. Get Lose It! Premium because it works.

Scott provided this recipe:
This dessert tastes very much like a mille-feuille pastry, which you might also know as a ‘Napolean.’
Be sure to use a cooked pudding mix and note that the amount of milk added is less than the regular pudding instructions – so the filling is custardy. This dessert is best if made at least 8 hours ahead of serving and stored in the fridge.
VANILLA SLICE – Makes one 9 x 13 inch dessert – approx 18 servings
INGREDIENTS
Graham Cracker Squares – 2 sleeves (approx 40)
Jello Cooked Vanilla Pudding/Pie Filling – 1 large package (170 grams)
Milk – 2 and 1/4 cups
Whipping Cream – 2 cups
GLAZE
Icing sugar – 2 cups
Vanilla – 1 and 1/2 tsp
Hot tap water – 3-4 Tbsp
Unsweetened dark chocolate – 1 ounce
METHOD
START by mixing up your custard. In a microwave proof bowl combine the pudding mix and milk – noting that this is a reduced amount from what is called for on the box. Cook on high, for one to two minutes at a time, for about 6 minutes total, whisking frequently. Once thickened, set aside to cool.
Now line an ungrease 9 x 13 inch pan with a fitted layer of whole graham crackers. Imagine you are a tiler, and score, snap and fit them as necessary to neatly cover the bottom of your pan. Once the pudding is room temperature, carefully spread it over the graham crackers until they are evenly covered – unlike in my picture . . .
Spread cooked and cooled vanilla pudding over graham crackers
Next, whip the cream, adding no sugar, vanilla – nothing. Spread this evenly over the pudding layer with the back of a spatula.
Next, add a second layer of fitted graham crackers squares, pressing down gently where necessary to get the surface as level as possible.
Cover the cooked pudding with plain whipped cream and another layer of graham crackers
Mix the glaze ingredients with a whisk until completely smooth and not too runny. Pour over top of graham crackers and spread evenly using the back of a spoon and a bit of patience.
Last step is to melt the chocolate and drizzle in lines, which can be ‘combed’ for effect or just spiraled lazily about.
Cover with a tight layer of saran and refrigerate minimum 8 hours or overnight. Serve and be adored!
A podcast in iTunes is allowed eight weeks, just 56 days, to be potentially featured in the “New and Noteworthy (N&N)” category. I have long since passed out of that time frame. I am in my last days of being eligible for iTunes New&Noteworthy status. As of this morning, I am #42 in All categories of New & Noteworthy. BUT!!!! You can still help. If you have not listened and left a rating in iTunes, I NEED you to take action now.
Even though I am no longer in N&N, I still need ratings and reviews. Those are the main method that iTunes uses to evaluate the value of a podcast, and podcasts which have better ratings, reviews and download numbers are placed higher in the search rankings. And that is how new people find the show.
And I may have neglected something. Using iTunes isn’t necessarily user-friendly. It occurs to me that some may not know how to review on iTunes.
Here are some instructions:
1) click here and follow to “View in iTunes” – under logo (can be done after you listen to your chosen show(s).
2) Once on iTunes in the middle over the show listings is “Details”, “Ratings and Reviews” and “Related”.
3) Click “Ratings and Reviews”.
4) Next to “Click to Rate” there are 5 gray stars. Click the number of stars you think my show deserves
OR
5) Underneath that is “Write a Review”. That allows you to write a review AND leave a star rating.
Thank you so much in advance for helping promote these shows.
I have 3 days left in N&N. Please act now!
Make Your Someday Today is a twice-weekly podcast, where we talk to successful people in all walks of life and around the world on Monday, and then on Thursday, I take a specific message from the previous guest and give my “Trevitorial”, where I help you apply that message to your life. The entire purpose of the show is to help all of us overcome our challenges and fears and become the person we want to be, the person we deserve to be.

Before you can accomplish anything, you need a plan. It doesn’t need to be finely detailed, but you need to know where you are going. But a plan does nothing until you actually take a step forward.
Pull the trigger! Stop analyzing and take action.
