Calling Martha Stewart
All right, everyone...here are the requested recipes. I hope you enjoy them! These are all really simple recipes. It is my wish that you have enough dough left with the desserts to actually bake them. Good luck, fellow chefs! And Martha Stewart, these recipes prove that simple is best. None of these are difficult, and they are absolutely delicious.Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie Bars
The recipe for bars (and cookies) is on the back of the Hershey's Milk Chocolate Chips bag. I added a small bag of pecan chips. This tastes like heaven! The dough is divine.
White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
Just buy a canister of Quaker Oats and it will have a recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies under the lid. Leave out the cinnamon, substitute dried cranberries for raisins and add a cup of white chocolate chips. Even if you don't like oatmeal cookies, this one's sure to dazzle! (and the dough's not that great, so you'll actually bake these!)
Chicken Especial
This chicken is so good that Bert and I call it Chicken Especial and say it with a crazy accent. It's easy and low on carbs!
Ingredients:
3/4 C. parmesan cheese
1 packet of Good Seasons dry Italian Dressing
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 eggs
1/2 C. flour
3 chicken breasts
olive oil
Directions:
1. Prehead oven to 350 degrees.
2. Clean and trim chicken. Set aside. I usually cut each breast in half.
3. In one bowl, put the flour. In another, mix together the two eggs. In the third, mix together the parmesan cheese, Italian dressing and garlic powder.
4. I use a cast iron skillet for this because it goes from stove to oven...less mess! At this step, put just enough olive oil to coat the skillet. Set by the bowls.
5. Lightly bread each piece of chicken with flour, then dip in egg wash and then coat as much parmesan cheese mixture as you can on each piece. Place in skillet. Repeat with each piece.
6. Turn stove on medium-high. Lightly brown each side of the chicken. DO NOT turn the stove to high, or you will burn the chicken!
7. Bake for 40 minutes.
So there you have it, folks. Here are some of my favorite recipes. Chicken Especial is actually my own variation on a recipe, and I am really pleased with the way it turned out.
Take a break from slice-and-bake cookies and take-out! Turn on the oven and see that cooking really can be easy! If it takes over 30 minutes to prep, I'm not making it.
Bon appetit!
