Faked Fried Chicken

March 19th 2011 19:33

This is a great recipe, I found it on Woman's Day website. I have tweaked it a little bit until I think it is perfect. This chicken tastes best if it is cooked off of the baking dishes, I simply sprayed my cooling racks for my cookies and cooked it on there. I do not have a photo of this recipe yet but the next time I cook it I will include the picture here. But I have found an amusing little chicken to put here until I do.

Fake Fried Chicken

2 package of Ranch Salad Dressing Mix
1/3 cup reduced fat mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
1/4 cup of water
2 teaspoons of black pepper
1 large can of French Fried Onion Rings (like you put on green bean casserole)
4-6 chicken breast

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Place a cooking cooling rack in a baking sheet lined with foil.

Mix 1 package of Ranch Salad Dressing Mix with mayonnaise and water. Set aside.

Mix remaining ranch mix with French fried onion rings in a large ziptop bag, then crush.

Dip chicken breast in wet mix.
Immediately place chicken breast in bag of crushed onion rings and toss to coat.

Bake on baking sheet for 15- 20 minutes, until chicken is crispy and thoroughly cooked.

Have you tried it? Do you love it? I knew you would. Leave me some comments let me know how it worked out for you. Oh just a note on this recipe, to me it is best served hot, it just was not very crispy the next day. Maybe if I had warmed it in a toaster oven it would have been better...

Homemade Banana Nut Bread

March 18th 2011 21:29

Most people are nearly terrified at the idea of baking bread. Here is a great recipe to start baking bread. This recipe is great to make ahead for a perfect pick me up snack and a wonderful quick and easy breakfast. Of course if you have a distaste or allergy for nuts please eliminate them from the recipe. Makes approximately 8-10 servings.

Banana Nut Bread

• 1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, or margarine
• 3 very ripe bananas, peeled, and mashed with a fork (about 1 cup)
• 1/2 cup walnut pieces
1 cup of sugar

Mix baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl, set aside.
Whisk the eggs and vanilla together, in measuring cup, set aside.
Spray a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan with butter. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the butter while mixing until incorporated.
Add the bananas (the mixture will appear to be curdled, so don't worry)
Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the nuts and transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

This recipe I found on this website nearly a year ago. I make this anytime my bananas start getting over ripe, (which are sometimes hid to ensure they do get over ripe). It is a wonderful recipe and I have even given it as a gift. (Which never even made it home, the family ate it in the car)

Update: I have made it with whole wheat flour, still baking but I will update you as soon as I taste it!

Ya'll Are Going to Love Me

March 18th 2011 16:15

By this time next week their will be about 20 more recipes posted on here. I am working hard to get them all written up and put on here. I am also in the process of making a cook book for my family and friends, so each recipe on this website will also be in my cook book I will be giving out at Christmas this year. Nine months to get it pulled together. But, hey, if I can make a complete new life in nine months getting this cook book put together should be a snap. So as always keep cooking and check back here periodically for my new recipes.

Some of these recipes are over 100 years old, handed down from my Great Great Grandmother. The History in that is amazing.

Super Easy Garlic Parmesan Chicken

February 16th 2011 02:26

This recipe is quick and easy. This is a great light dinner that even your children can help make. If you are trying to impress a certain someone in your life my husband gives this a big thumbs up. Oh and if you are on Weight Watchers new points plus program one serving (one chicken breast) will only cost you 5 points, there is something to smile about right there. This makes lovely left overs that can easily be cut up and added to a salad for lunch the next day. (If you want to reheat the chicken I suggest using a toaster oven to keep that crispy crust.)

Welcome to Kiss the Cook

January 23rd 2011 03:44

This blog is going to be a place that I can post my recipes that I have tried, manupulated, and tried again until my family loves them. I will post from time to time as I try new recipes. I will break it down into main dishes, breakfast dishes, snacks, drinks, side dishes, breads, desserts. I may have to break desserts down further but I will update if I do.

I love cooking and baking. I cook nearly every night for my family. I think the reasons people don't cook is that they are scared of cooking, no one wants to ruin food that you paid good money for, and people get bored of the same old same old cooking. To keep from getting bored we have to try new things. When I try a new recipe I print it out and write all over it, what was good what was bad, what I would like to change, if it is worth tinkering with. I write the results of how my family liked and how my kids ate it
