Only Me Strawberry Girl User ID: 725691 United States 10/21/2010 11:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Herb Oven Fried Chicken You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chicken tenders, or drummettes for this dish. Marinating the chicken in buttermilk overnight makes the chicken extra juicy. Eat it hot right out of the oven, or add it cold to a picnic basket or boxed lunch. Servings: 2 1/2 cup buttermilk 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 tablespoon oil 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders 1 cup rolled oats 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves or rosemary needles Olive oil spray In a shallow dish, mix together the buttermilk, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the oil. Place the chicken pieces in the buttermilk mixture and coat them thoroughly. Marinate the chicken in the buttermilk mixture overnight in the refrigerator. from recipelink.com Preheat the toaster oven to 425 degrees F. In a food processor, mix the oats, red pepper flakes, the remaining i teaspoon salt, Parmesan, and basil. Pulse until the oats are partially powdered. Alternatively, mix the ingredients together in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Place the oat mixture on a plate. Shake any excess buttermilk off the chicken and dredge to coat each piece thoroughly. For easy clean-up, cover the toaster oven baking tray with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with oil. (Check your manufacturer’s instructions, however, for any cautions against the use of aluminum foil in your toaster oven.) Place the chicken pieces on the tray so that they are not touching one another. Spray the chicken pieces lightly with oil and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending upon the thickness of the meat, until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken from the toaster oven and serve hot or refrigerate and serve cold over a salad Goodbye, halcyon days...

Only Me Strawberry Girl User ID: 725691 United States 10/21/2010 11:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | While sweet cheesecakes make delicious desserts, savory cheesecakes make excellent appetizers, first courses, or even lunches when eaten hot or cold with a small green salad. They are rich, but well worth the calories now and again. Try spreading this cheesecake on slices of the Artisan Whole Wheat—Walnut Loaf for a delicious appetizer. Servings: 4-6 as an appetizer 1-2 as a lunch FOR THE CRUST: 4 (3-inch) whole-grain or water crackers 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese 1/4 cup walnuts FOR THE FILLING: 2 packages (8-ounce each) cream cheese, room temperature 1 (11-ounce) package goat cheese 3 eggs 2 ounces feta cheese 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese 1 cup sour cream 6 cloves garlic, pressed Leaves from 2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme To make the crust: Combine the crackers, butter, cheddar cheese, and walnuts in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Process until they form coarse crumbs. Divide the crumbs evenly among 4 individual-size springform pans and press them down using a spoon or smooth, round meat pounder. Preheat the toaster oven to 300 degrees F. To make the filling: Cream together the cream cheese, goat cheese, eggs, feta, cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic, and thyme with a whisk or a handheld electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Divide the mixture among the 4 pans, lightly tapping each pan on the countertop to even out the mixture. Bake the cheesecakes for 10 minutes, until just golden at the edges. Eat while warm, or refrigerate for at least hours or overnight before serving. To drink: Choose from the repertoire of easily available domestic sparkling wines: Poederer Estate, Gloria Ferrar, Domaine Chandon, or Gruet. Goodbye, halcyon days...

In the bowl of a food processor or in a blender, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, coriander, and cumin. Pulse to blend. Add the cold butter. Turn on the machine and let run until the butter is just blended in and the dough is the consistency of coarse cornmeal. Turn the machine off and add the buttermilk and the peppers, then just pulse long enough to blend the ingredients. Remove the dough from the processor and knead, using just a few turns to bring dough together. Dust a cutting board with flour and roll the dough out until it is about 1/2-inch thick. Cut the scones out with a small biscuit or cookie cutter. Line a toaster oven baking tray with parchment paper. Place the scones on the tray and bake for about 6 to 8 minutes, until they are golden brown. Remove the scones from oven and serve warm. Freeze any scones you don’t eat and reheat them in your toaster oven for a quick treat. These can also be frozen before baking, then you can pull them out of the bag and throw them in the oven for scones fresh out of the oven. Goodbye, halcyon days...

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1129610 United States 10/21/2010 11:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, I have cooked the best filet mignon(hand trimmed,by myself). Just season it with a little celtic sea salt and pepper, cook on 350-400 turn over after 10-15 min. then turn over for another 10 min. Usually perfect med-rare cooked throughout no overcooked areas or excessive charring you would get with a grill. With the sea-salt you don't get that metallic taste and its really hard to oversalt it. Even if I had kobe beef I would use this method as its the most gentle and even cooking way. If I did'nt have access to celtic sea salt Id recommend montreal steak seasoning. |

I have known many chefs that hide the crappy quality of say, fish by covering it with a sauce. Because the owner wants to save money on the product. Cheap vietnese fish=grouper Skate = scallops |
