It's been a few days since my last post but I'm back now (fist pump). So I made chicken an waffles the other day and I must say they were absolutely positively fantabulous!! Oh em gee! I'm usually not one to toot my own horn but TOOT TOOT. My chicken tenders were marinated and seasoned just perfectly and then shallow fried in veggie oil. I don't eat a lot of fried foods and when I do I try not to deep fry.
Anywho, a basic recipe is listed and you can adjust the seasonings to you taste (besides I never really measure anything anyway lol).

• buttermilk, enough to cover the chicken. If you don't have buttermilk you can use 1tsp lemon juice plus enough milk to make 1 cup
• salt
• pepper
• cayenne
• onion powder
• garlic powder
• hot sauce, to taste

Clean and rinse the chicken and then place it in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
For my breading I used House Autry Chicken Fry which I seasoned with all the same seasonings as the marinade except the hot sauce and salt. Bread the chicken and let rest for 2-3 minutes before frying. Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over med-high heat and shallow fry until chicken is done.

P.S. still haven't figured out how to add these darn pictures but as soon as I do I'll edit my post.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!

I think I finally figured this picture thing out. Check this out.

Chicken and Waffles!! Yummy!

  Now doesn't that look down right scrumptious?

Sweet potato pie success!!!

Sooo, I made a sweet potato pie today for the first time and it was a success!! I made it semi homemade style and used canned yams but overall it was quite tasty; I think the little bit of eggnog (yes, I said eggnog!) that I added gave it a very delicious and non-traditional taste, perfect for the holidays. I wish I had exact measurements so I could post the recipe but I did everything by eye. I wasn't sure what temp to cook it on so the edges got too brown too fast (but they didn't burn LOL). Maybe when I figure out how to upload my pics from Picasa I'll post them. Later.

Update: Was going through my phone and realized that I accidentally deleted my sweet potato pie pic :(
May try to get it from facebook #crosses fingers

Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers

Last night I made spinach feta turkey burgers. They were sooo moist and delicious :). Here's the recipe:
1 pound of lean ground turkey
fresh baby portabella mushrooms, chopped
frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 egg, beaten
bread crumbs
1 tbs. olive oil
1 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
feta cheese
minced garlic
spices and seasonings

I sauteed the mushrooms in a little bit of olive oil and I added salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and onion powder; fresh onion would probably work too I just didn't have any on hand. In a medium sized bowl beat the egg; then add the spinach, mushrooms, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and seasonings to taste. Once everything is combined, add the turkey and mix well making sure not to over mix or it will make your burgers tough. Add bread crumbs as a binder; I think I may have used about 3 or 4 tbs. I'm not sure, I just added enough to bind the ingredients together. Finally add the feta and form into patties. I grilled them on my George Forman grill until done and topped with horseradish cheddar cheese but I'm sure you could use any cheese that you wanted.

These burgers are so yummy, moist and scrumptious; and you can freeze any left over mix to have for a quick lunch or dinner. Just form into patties and brush them on both sides with olive oil before wrapping them to be frozen.
