Easy Chicken Parmesan for Dinner

Monday, October 17th, 2011

Our whole family loves Italian food, and this Easy Chicken Parmesan recipe is great for those times during the week when I don’t have time to make a big involved meal. A traditional Chicken Parmesan recipe calls for breading and frying the chicken breasts to give them a crunchy coating but that takes time and a lot of cleanup. This recipe skips the frying and goes right to the baking part.

We still add the same ingredients as the traditional method but without the crunchy chicken part. Everything cooks up in one pan and that is a great help on busy school nights. The kids really like this recipe and that is also a big help. I usually heat up some frozen garlic bread to go with it and everyone gets fed a great meal.

So if you are looking for other recipes like this then head on over to Easy-Chicken-Recipes.com. They have all kinds of easy to make chicken recipes you can make your family for dinner.

Experiment with Your Baking

Friday, October 29th, 2010

Necessity is the mother of invention. Someone famous said that. Well, when it comes to baking, what we need is tastier, healthier foods. You might think you have the best chocolate chip cookie recipe in the world, but if it isn’t healthy, then it’s missing something. If you’ve somehow come up with a 10 calorie chocolate chip cookie, but it tastes like cheerios, you’ve got the opposite problem.

So what can you do? If your cookies are tasteless, try incorporating more sweeteners, like sugar or agave sugar substitute. Another good ingredient for chocolate chip cookies vanilla, which adds a lot. Shortening makes the best cookies ever, but they will give you a heart attack. If your cookes are too rich and unhealthy, try cutting out a little bit of butter and substitute some fruit puree.

The most important thing to remember about your recipe is that more sugar = more calories. Happy baking!

Miracle Fruit Changes Sour Flavors To Sweet

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

We are constantly hearing about great new things that can improve our health, whether it is a form of exercise or foods that are healthy and ways to add them into our lives. Sometimes because of medications we need to take on a daily basis, it changes the way food tastes to us. The medications can leave an aftertaste that lingers for hours. There is a new sensation we have been hearing about lately called miracle fruit and what it is, is a fruit when eaten changes your taste buds so that even extremely sour or bitter things taste sweet. It is a berry that comes from Africa and the juice is transformed into tiny tablets that you allow to dissolve on your tongue. The sensation in taste change lasts for anywhere from 20 minutes to a couple of hours, then returns to normal. This can be beneficial when you are dealing with the aftertaste of medicine, so you can still eat and enjoy your food.

The Purpose of Soul Food

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

Soul food is one of the best American cuisine that is well loved by so many, not just in the USA, but worldwide too. If you’ve eaten soul food before, you can surely understand why. A lot of soul food recipes leave you feeling full and contented, and that’s the way it was meant to be.

Soul food has a lot of meaty dishes; beans and vegetables also feature a lot of dishes. Grains do not feature that often though. The influence on soul food comes from many sources, including Creole and native American. So, it is not entirely a Black American cuisine, but a fusion of other cultures.

The original purpose of soul food is to “nourish” the soul, hence it’s name, although the name wasn’t bestowed until during the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s. The other purpose of soul food is to bring family and friends together in joyful eating. These two are, and have always been, the ideals ascribed to soul food.

Camping And Hiking

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

When you develop real hiking legs and your feet are used to a good hard run, mountain climbing is exciting. It is quite an experience to start out in sum­mer heat at the foot of a small mountain, and, after a few hours’ climb, find the snow swirling around your head. Waterfalls, weather-smoothed rocks and wind-twisted trees make mountain scenery different from flatland views.

Camping on a hillside is different. A camper once made his bed on a slippery pine needle slope and woke in the morning several yards below his original bed with a cow licking his face!

Exploring underground is different still. The won­derland of caves offers all kinds of new things to see -underground rooms and corridors, stalactites and stalagmites making shining palaces, dark streams and pools peopled with blind white fish and reptiles. People who make caves their hobby call themselves “spelunkers” and carry special equipment for light, for protection against dampness and for climbing slippery rocks. Bring some beef jerky along on your hike.
