After 2 hrs., get skillet & add little butter, put chicken breast into skillet, (don’t discard marinade), sprinkle w/ pepper, salt, + paprika, brown chicken on 1 side, repeat for other side. Grease glass dish, place chicken first, 1 slice of cheese, cooked mushrooms, pour some marinade over, then put bacon on top and criss cross it, repeat till’ chicken is gone. Heat oven to 350 degrees, place dish uncovered and cook for 25-30 minutes and it’s done! You would be surprised how tastey this is!

Easy Dinner Recipes

People don’t have the time to prepare the food Julia Child used to show on her cooking program. Things have changed. No longer focused on the kind of extravagant meals Julia made famous, television now displays easy dinner recipes. Easy doesn’t have to be bland. Most people couldn’t eat that fancy cooking every day.

There is more than television as a source for these dinner cooking ideas. The Internet is full of food. That doesn’t mean just the cooking show web sites, although they have a lot of terrific information. Some web sites show healthy meals while others focus on vegetarian food. Every type of meal and food are covered not only by one web site, but by thousands. It would take a life time to read it all.

Easy isn’t bland. Simple meals aren’t bad tasting. Sure hot dogs are easy to make. They’re good, but it’s a little common or generic. Eat a corn dog instead. They’re simple and delicious. Dip a dog in flour, corn meal, milk, salt and sugar, then fry it. Make it more authentic by inserting a stick.

Corn dogs aren’t healthy. Easy doesn’t mean not healthy. Broil a chicken breast, remove the skin, cut it into strips or chunks, toss it into a salad. That was easy. It’s also delicious and good for you. Make it soup and salad with some chicken soup. Salads can be made from almost anything. Some diced ham, hard boiled eggs and lettuce makes a great dinner salad.

Here’s a little history lesson. Dinner and supper started out as separate meals in colonial times. Physical work required a late afternoon meal, called dinner. The long hard day ended with a larger meal called Supper. New lifestyles and types of work meant dinner and supper changed over the years until, for many, they merged. Physical laborers commonly maintained the tradition of separate supper and dinner into the 1970’s, and some people still do it today.

Separating supper from dinner isn’t necessary. But try a lighter dinner type meal at supper time, or maybe we can call it dupper Who cares? Easy dinner recipes can make it fantastic.

Old-fashion Batter Recipe for Frying Vegetables and Meats

Monday, April 7th, 2008
Linda Wilson asked:


In today’s society, fried foods are supposed to be a no-no.  But who can resist some good fried vegetables from time to time?  Use a good oil, don’t fry too often, fry vegetables or fish and enjoy it once in awhile.  Try this batter for onion rings, zucchini, mushrooms, corn nuggets, fish, chicken, or your other favorites.  Many of todays menus even feature fried pickles, so just use your imagination.  I found this recipe years ago in a newspaper advertisement for ARGO cornstarch which explains the next paragraph.

This old newspaper advertisement says to “Let the natural flavor of your fried vegetables come through with the light touch of Argo and Kingsford’s. And try these easy and delicious recipes. You’ll agree that for light and crispy fried vegetables or chicken, it really is the batter that matters.”

LIGHT BATTER

3/4 cup Argo or Kingford’s Corn Starch

1/4 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 cup water

1 egg, slightly beaten

In bowl, stir together first 5 ingredients. Add water and egg; stir until smooth. Pour 1 qt (about) corn oil into large skillet to depth of 1/2″, filling no more than 1/3 full. Heat over medium heat to 375 degrees. Dip 4 cups cutup vegetables, such as zucchini, carrots, onion, and mushrooms, or 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1″ cubes, a few at a time, into batter. (Stir batter occasionally.) Carefully add vegetables or chicken to hot oil, a few pieces at a time. Fry 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels. Serves 4 to 6.

HERB BATTER: Follow basic recipe. Add 1 tsp dried basil leaves and 1 clove garlic, minced.

SPICY BATTER: Follow basic recipe.  Add 1 tsp chili powder and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.

BEER BATTER: Follow basic recipe. Omit water. Add 1/3 cup cold beer.

Enjoy!
