Ellen chicken salad sounds delicious Shirley, Spanish rice sounds good. I make one version in the slow cooker, with ground beef. Sue, I like my fried egg sandwiches with tomato as well, and bacon when we have it. Kath, I used to like the Southwestern Salad from McD's. Haven't had one of them in a couple of years now. Raven, I love that skillet dish. One-dish meals are so handy. OF, as you said, frozen lasagna is way easier than making one from scratch! Pam you had what is the perfect steak dinner! Jim, veggie soup and lemon pudding! Yum! We're in for the high temps tomorrow as well with high humidity. 30C but feeling much hotter with the humidity.

We just finished watching the first episode of this season's Blacklist and thought I'd check back while setting up for Castle. Shirley, here's the recipe. Easy-peasy and delicious! Pam, you could have been here, as usual I made enough to feed at least 1 more person! Oven âÂÂfriedâ chicken Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 20 to 25 minutes 1/3 cup dry unseasoned bread crumbs 2 teaspoons sesame seeds 1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise (not salad dressing mayonnaise) 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 2 dashes cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning 4 (4 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves Cooking spray Preheat oven to 425ðF. Place bread crumbs, sesame seeds, and Parmesan cheese in a large zip-top bag and shake gently to combine. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and poultry seasoning. Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of each piece of chicken with the mayonnaise mixture. Place chicken, one piece at a time, into the bread crumb mixture in the zip-top bag, seal, and shake to coat chicken well. Transfer chicken to a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spray chicken evenly with cooking spray. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink in the center. Yield: 4 servings

This week includes my annual "special day" (a secret!). Last nite started with parmesan shrimp, breaded shrimp, coconut shrimp, shrimp alfredo, baked tater, salad, cheddar biscuits. Guess where? Brought home enough in the box for two lunches! Tonite will be a pig out buffet. Normally $20, I squeaked it down to $5, and that was free. Dumbo still prepared too much food here. A Chocolate Cake, with creamy Chocolate frosting. BBQ ribs. Some hamburger patties. A big pot of Chili. Salsa and Avacado. No cooking the rest of the week. Anybody hungry?

Jim congratulations on your upcoming cruise! I love it that you had wine with bacon and eggs. Audrey, your dinner looks and sounds fabulous. We had baked potatoes last nite. Shirley, I've yet to make red beans and rice. What's throwing me off from making it, much as I'd like to, is that we only have kidney beans, as far as a red bean, and I know that isn't the kind to use. I made quinoa with toasted almonds and red currants the other day. We like quinoa. Kath, for some reason companies change their recipes. In the event of making things healthier, taste gets compromised. Less fat and salt is less flavour it seems. Prairie Rose, do you make the light fluffy dumplings? That's what my Nan made and that's all I've ever known. I've never attempted it; I should! Raven, that looks divine!! We love roasted vegetables! Erin, I hope you feel better. That's dedication, coming onto a dinner thread when you're not feeling that great. Betsy, that's nice comfort food. Gyr_Falcon, that's a great sounding meal! Glad to see you here.
