Pork chops

[WiccanLiberal]

I tried a new thing with some really thin boneless chops. Dipped in egg wash and then in a mix of instant potato flakes, salt, pepper, paprika and a dash of garlic powder. Fried and served with some mushrooms also done in the breading. Came out very tasty and could be baked as well as fried.

That sounds REALLY good. Hubby is in for a treat!

I am in the midst of a roast chicken. Fairly easy though and nothing great added. It's a small bugger and I just put some salt and pepper on and oiled a little and right into the pan. Some baked potatoes and steamed green beans. I wish I could cook good stuff like you do!!

Should try the pork chops. Bet they turn out just as nice for you.

You know it doesn't work that way! It's up to the cook. My wife makes chicken just fine. The chicken I just made - not so fine. I don't know what I did wrong. I checked and double checked. I took temperatures. I let it sit for a bit when I took it out. It was plenty juicy, but fell apart more than it cut when I tried. Still tasted awesome! I give it an 8 for the taste but only about a 4 for appearance.

Try melting a stick of unsalted (grass fed is best) Butter or Ghee (125g), mixing in the herbs (Thyme, Rosemary, Sage, Paprika, Salt, Black Pepper) then smothering the chicken in the herb/butter mix. It will look good, taste good and be nice and juicy! Nix the potatoes too. They are not healthy.

A couple 'hints':

* after rinsing chicken, dry well, inside and out.

*Tie legs and wings.

*Cook on high heat-450

*Use instant read thermometer. For roasted chicken 180 remove from over, let set 5-10 minutes.

If I had 3 people or more to cook for, buy a larger bird, say at least 4#. Easier not to overcook.

Bah, potatoes are nearly as perfect a food as eggs, it's the butter and sour cream that add unnecessary calories.

Welcome to the world of German cooking. A slight variation (usually done with veal) is known as wienerschnitzel. My great aunt would leave coarse bread out to dry, then crush them into crumbs. She would then put together a mixture of whole milk, yeast and a lot of different spices and add the crumbs to them. Take some boneless veal or chops, season them and then tenderize the meat. Place the meat in a frying pan, pour the mixture over them and fry.
What you get is a totally incredible dinner. Add some braised or fried potatoes and vegetables.
My German family would consume it with large steins of beer.

I've been loving being on vacation because I can get a little creative with the meals and actually sit and enjoy a good dinner. Normally I get off work at an hour that means I get home too late to do much with the food. Think I will also make a big batch of red sauce this weekend and put a bunch up in the freezer.

[gabosaurus]

I feel fortunate to have several meals that have been prepared and passed down through multiple generations of my family. Beats having to think of them myself.

[WiccanLiberal]

Sounds like my fall backs. There's the meat loaf recipe, the red sauce, macaroni casserole, pot roast. I could prepare them in my sleep. And they always get a great reception.

Love that stuff but with a small twist ... top it all off with either beef/pork or mushroom gravy (I think it's then called jaegerschnitzel?) ... mmmmm mmm good!

Potatoes are full of carbs. The low fat diet is the bane of modern society.

personally I'd rather exercise that have to give up foods I enjoy. Potatoes will forever be on the menu at my house.

[WiccanLiberal]

Nothing wrong with potatoes or most other foods in moderation. Eat a diet that samples from as many foods as possible and you get the benefits.
