These chicken strips are healthy, delicious and nearly as easy to throw together as the frozen chicken tenders you find at the grocery store. Served with a couple quick sides like a tossed salad and sliced carrots, it’s complete meal that’s ready in 20 minutes. Here are the key ingredients. The skinless, boneless chicken breasts unfortunately did not make it into the photo-op. Mainly because I’ve yet to figure out how to make chicken breasts look nice for a photo. Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into thirds lengthwise so that you end up with long strips. Using a knife, spread the dijon mustard over each of the chicken strips. Now prepare the breading. Next add the whole wheat panko. Toss the chicken strips into the breading and be sure they are well-coated on all sides using a fork, or – even better – your fingers.

Pin ItHardly a day goes by when I don’t eat peanut butter. My first memory of eating it was when our babysitter used to make me mashed bananas with peanut butter as a special treat, and I just gobbled it up. Now I love peanut butter on my whole wheat toast, in my ice cream, covered in chocolate, with carrots or apples, and stirred into my Asian noodles and marinades.
(I even enjoy licking it off a spoon.) Fortunately, this is a healthy indulgence (well maybe not so much when it’s mixed into ice cream), as peanuts are powerful nutrients, full of healthy monosaturated fats, antioxidents, vitamin E, manganese, protein and fiber. I was in fourth grade in Glencoe, Illinois, when I first learned about the famous African American inventor and scientist, George Washington Carver, who popularized peanuts as a crop in the U.S. and created more than 300 products made from peanuts. George Washington Carver was born into slavery in Missouri, probably in 1864. In 1896, Booker T.

I have already talked a little bit about stocking both a spice cupboard and a food cupboard. My Refrigerator Fridge Tip #1: Check out expiration dates The most important thing to remember when stocking a refrigerator is to check the “sell by” dates on ALL perishable items. Granted, stores would be nuts not to be very careful to remove these items.
The dating jargon can be very confusing. Fridge Tip #2: Storing eggs & dairy products The three basics in just about everyone’s refrigerator are: Eggs Open the carton and check to make sure none of your eggs are broken.

Well my friends, it’s your lucky day because I’m about to share with you an onion tart fancy enough to serve at your next dinner party and simple enough to enjoy at home any day you’d like. There is something magical about caramelized onions. It reminds me of the stages of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.

Who am I kidding, I’m preaching to the choir..you all already know how good caramelized onions are – my apologies.

Photograph by Yunhee Kim. Jalapeno Artichoke Party Dip | CakeMaven - StumbleUpon. This dip has many uses. Most of the time, it is an appetizer, served with tortilla chips. However, it is equally good served with carrot and celery sticks, makes a lovely burger spread, and really jazzes up a wrap sandwich. I’ve even mixed it into plain rice with a handful of leftover chicken tossed in. For this reason, I make BIG batches. Of course, you can scale it down for your needs. But if you make a small batch, you’ll have only yourself to blame when you find yourself feeling snacky and you have none of this dip on hand to satisfy the urge.
In fact, I feel sorry for you already. Please note that my directions involve using my Kitchenaid stand mixer, which I kind of have a serious love affair with. Prep work first: cream cheese softened in the microwave, 4 garlic cloves minced, jalapeno nacho slices chopped, jarred artichoke hearts rinsed and chopped, jack cheese grated. Cream cheese goes into the mixer, and mix it at medium speed briefly to break up the blocks.
