Summer cooking continued

How did you make the cutlets?

Here was the cake

I cut the chicken breasts thin.. sometimes pound em.. but wasn't in the mood to.. LOL

in the flower I put salt & pepper, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika .. egg wash.. use either panko or reg breadcrumbs... season em up with salt, pepper, thyme and parm cheese.. always let them rest after breading and before cooking them.. to make sure everything sticks.. fry them in shallow olive oil and good to go

Cute cake Jen!
Sounds yummy Allison, love cutlets.

Last night: Steamed fresh brussel sprouts, pasta, green stuffed peppers from the garden.
Tonight: Rice pilaf, broccoli, french bread and a whole chicken, cut in half then marinated in 2 different flavors.....slow cooked on the grill.

ham steak and corn on the cob.

Cute cake, Jen. like the beach theme.

Great cake Jen!
I had dinner at Davids and he made pasta with Italian sausage in olive oil n garlic with tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, onions, fresh basil, spinach, shredded cheese and multiple seasonings. It was very good, he's a better cook than I.

Yumm. That cake is very cute!!!

Showed the snake pic to my son and he jumped! What a wimp!!

LOL, poor kid

didn't even realize the typo.. LOL.. oh well.. spell check doesn't fix stupid .. I always say

LOL

Thanks, Allison...that's usually the way I make mine...sometimes add lemon & white wine to the cutlets.....Those meals all sound yummy, & I loved the beach cake....my granddaughters would have, too! Lunching at a friend's today....former Home Ec teacher, she's a great cook....

Home-made tomato soup for lunch to go with SchickenLady's WormyWieners. Unfortunately, DW refused to touch them and made her own un-vermicelli-infested frankfurter. I'm saving the idea for when the grandkids come to visit, though! Thanks, SL.

hee hee

LOL!

Good for you, Don! My friend made fruit salad, quiche, and spinach salad, with lemon blueberry cake for dessert

Heehee

Sounds good, RD

Pork chops , hot potato salad with green beans and a salad tonight

I haven't had pork chops in ages! Today I made Swedish meatballs with cucumber dill sauce, whole wheat noodles, & green beans with tomatoes for Mom's lunch....I'll be leaving in a few minutes to deliver it...also, my sister & I are interviewing a home helper for Mom....keep your fingers crossed that it works out....

My daughter is supposed to pick where she wants to go for dinner for her birthday

She picked pizza for lunch and I had eggplant rollatini, the sauce tasted EXACTLY like my mom's cacciatore sauce....YUM!!!

Oh, good choice...hope she had a fun birthday! Good news with my Mom also....we hired the woman we interviewed...she'll be with Mom 4 hours a day.....

that's awesome RD.. always good to have help.. boring chicken again.. too lazy to go nuts tonight

That's good Robin

Daughter picked Olive Garden for dinner, guess she was in an Italian mood today, I had seafood with a white sauce and garlic mashed taters

Good news, RD. Praying it works out for you all.

Good choices, Birthday girl.

Thanks....my brother & I now can go to NY....I get to go to an Indian restaurant with Jo & Debi...Yay!

Yay!

Never had Indian food at a restaurant, Deb....looking forward to it.....

Glad things are working out Robin.

I just told David it's my favorite indian restaurant here, and he said NYC was better, but I still like it.

Just picked a peck of peppers, so DW dug out the "Italian Sausages and Peppers a la Fabio" recipe again with baked potato and cucumber salad.

Sounds good, Don...thanks, Pixie....I have a lot of peppers this year, too, so I think I'll grab an eggplant from the farm today & make eggplant stuffed peppers.....

yum!
boys are going camping tonight so it's just me and my daughter...need to do something girly

Pink cookies?

Spent the afternoon chopping and sautéing veggies and Italian sausage to make a onedish meal. Included cannelloni beans and corn and some diced tomatoes. Will be served over rice.

Also, while I was at it made chicken and vegetable soup. Should be able to freeze most of these. I find I like the process.

My DIL yesterday on Facebook asked if anyone else realized that no matter how long it takes to fix a meal it is eaten just as fast as one that is a quickie. Raising four boys I just had to laugh at that one and said I realized that a l o n g time ago.

pizza night

Ukranian festival

That sounds interesting Deb......going out tonight with my stepdaughter, Lesley, & her husband.....

Made a fresh brisket with onions, carrots, celery, & red wine ....all in the crockpot....my sister brought a pasta salad, & I made green beans & tomatoes from the garden......

Went to great niece's 1st b-day party, there was hardly anything I could eat there, so by dinner time I was starving, came home and made chili

Haven't had chili in ages....I have to bring a potluck dish tonight....no clue right now as to what I'm bringing other than tomatoes from the garden....
