TODAY! Skillet Chicken Cutlets

Image
 We saw this recipe (my sister and I) and tried it.   Everyone on the show claimed it was hands-down the best cutlet recipe they had ever had.  I normally dismiss this as television advertising crap, but they were so earnest and believable that we decided to try it on the Bauernfeind and Muens taste buds.  It's not that difficult at all but start with quality chicken breasts that help with flavor and moistness of the cooked breast.  If you go cheap charlie the breast may not be the best.  Anyway, it may seem like an absurd amount of fennel and mustard powder, but believe me, it is not only good but necessary. Watch the How-To Video Here! Ingredients:  The amount you use of these ingredients depends on whether you use 2 or 3 breasts. 2 or 3 boneless skinless (dykless 😏) chicken breasts 1 or 1.5 cups of Panko 1/2 to 1 cup crushed Corn Flakes 1 tablespoon of cornstarch 1/2 to 3/4 cups of milk (real milk not that grey water crap) 1 to 2 eggs 2 to 3 teaspo...

Lasagna a la Sandy Creek

Image
  (Here's a link to the "How To" video Pat and Jim made:  https://youtu.be/uczvvWh170I ) Everyone makes pasta of one form or fashion.  Many claim to be Italian or have authentic passed down recipes from Italian grandparents but most if any have ever lived in Italy.  I have, as have my family. Interestingly, Lasagna was rarely on any menu we ever saw and we lived in Naples (Napoli) where, according to the history of Lasagna, tomato sauce was introduced into Lasagna, a meal copied from the Greeks.  Anyway, this recipe is as accurate as any Lasagna recipe can be when it has changed so much over the years.  I hope you enjoy it. Ingredients 1   pound   sweet Italian sausage ¾   pound   lean ground beef ½   cup   minced onion 2   cloves   garlic, crushed 1   (28-ounce) can  of  crushed tomatoes 2   (6.5 ounces) cans  of  canned tomato sauce 2   (6-ounce) cans  of  tomato paste ½ ...

Cheese and Sausage Breakfast Casserole Version Two

Image
 This version of the cheese and sausage casserole is, I believe, easier to make, has fewer calories, is very moist, and is definitely a meal you make the day before.  Just refrigerate overnight letting all the ingredients meld together before baking the next morning. Ingredients: 1 lb breakfast sausage. (Here are several options to include mild, medium, or hot sausage depending on your taste.  You can also substitute turkey sausage to reduce the fat content) 2 8oz bags of shredded Colby-Jack Cheese.  (Here too you can substitute or mix and match cheese types like a coly-jack and a swiss) 12 eggs 1 small carton of heavy whipping cream 1/2 a small yellow onion (Optional as is a small green or red bell pepper chopped up) Preparation: Cook sausage chopping it up as it cooks.  When it is still pink add the onion and peppers if you are using them and continue cooking until everything is cooked, Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish (I use glass) with PAM Take the first bag o...
