Chicken Fried Chicken?

I know, crazy right? My country cookin' friends seem to think so too. I, on the other hand think it is a great idea.

Most southern cooks talk about chicken fried steak or chicken fried pork. Well, why not chicken fried chicken?  No bone, no dark meat less grease. Sounds good to me. Since my mom is an amazing cook and doesn't shy away from any recipe, I thought I can do it too.

So even with the mocking from others I tried it. Turned out great. The kitchen smelled like home cookin at it's finest.

I will tweek the breading recipe spices a a bit next time.



My Chicken Fried Chicken Recipe

4 Chicken Cutlets

1/2 cup GF cornmeal
1/2 cup grated GF cornflake cereal
1/2 tsp garlic
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp red crushed pepper
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt

1/2 cup almond milk
1 large egg
Canola oil

Add milk and egg together in cereal size bowl. Mix well
Add all dry ingredients in cereal size bowl. Mix well.

Heat canola oil in large frying pan. About 1/4 inch in the bottom is good. Heat until it bubbles a bit.
Dip chicken cutlets into liquid mixture, coat well. Then dip cutlet in dry mixture. Coat well.
Put in frying pan. Fry for four minutes each side, until browned well.
Put on paper towel to soak up excess oil and let cool a bit before eating.

My two best critics, my Jack Russell Terriers couldn't wait to try a bite and both asked for seconds. Tee hee. Of course, a bite means little tiny piece. When I told them "all gone" they asked for their nighttime snack of peanut butter in their Kongs. So much for taste.

Have a Health-a-licious Day.

Sugar Cravings, Detox and More

So my hubby was selected by his company to be a lead in a certain group which meant he would be traveling for 4 days. Perfect, I thought. I will only eat vegies or fruit, and drink coffee, tea or water. My fav foods are vegies and fruit. I know I need protein so I eat it, but if I didn't have to I wouldn't eat it everyday. I love, vegies, fruit and desert. In fact one of my fav meals is a huge vegie plate and a pint of Hagen Daaz Gelato. So...I decided to do a detox while my hubby was out of town. $72.00 for what I felt was 4 days worth of fruits and vegetables. I did the detox. Only water, coffee or tea. Only vegetables or fruits. No sauces, no sugars, no condiments except herbs and spices. Every day about 3p, I started getting a headache. I would eat a piece of fruit. That wouldn't help. I decided after those 3 days that I am addicted to sugar. So I am now working my way to be sugar free with the exception of fruits. The holidays are proving challenging because of f

Gluten-Free Family Casseroles

Over the last 8 months, I had come to realize that casseroles were off limits for we gluten-free eaters. Most casseroles contain some type of crackers, bread crumbs or soup that contains gluten as a base to keep the casserole consistency and coherence adding tasty flavor in the process. My husband, in a constant search of foods that I will like or eat, came across a recipe book called, of all things, Casseroles. Many of the recipes in the book call for gluten ingredients, tortillas, corn bread mix, cream of chicken soup, etc. Combing through the book he found a few casserole recipes that ask for Tator Tots. Clearly not a sophisticated ingredient, but a tasty one non-the-less. We tried this recipe last night. It is definitely a naughty dish because it is delicious. We decided to use an already made chili, but our next attempt at the recipe will be with homemade chili. Chili Tots 1lb ground beef             1. Cook ground beef until no longer pink. Drain. 30 oz of chili

Gluten-Free Organic Snacking

I love to snack. Ha ha ha ha. It's an uphill climb. I love to snack. It makes me a merrier me. (Sing to the tune of "I love to laugh" from the movie Merry Poppins) I also love pretzels. My fav is pretzels dipped in salsa. Yummy. I could almost eat an entire bag at a time. I found these amazing pretzels from Glutino. Gluten-free, egg-free, milk-free, casein-free. Completely delicious. Salty, crunchy. I ate an entire half bag today. I have eaten 3 bags in 3 weeks. One for each week I have been gluten-free. My husband has decided he loves them too and so do my folks. So much so we had to have 3 bags at the house just in case we feel like snacking. There is a new yogurt out that is a dip. My fav is cucumber and dill. So yummy on those amazing Glutino Pretzels. I am also digging grapes. My new fav fruit snack. Here's the kicker. I went to Fort Wayne, Indiana. Ft. Wayne is known to be a product and advertising test market because of it's Americana demographic
