I'm making Parmesan Chicken for dinner tonight served with a green salad on top with lemon vinaigrette.

How do you like your chicken cooked?

Normally in our house, my wife likes it when I make chicken chunkers (tenders w/ a herbed breading, then baked), but also likes honey-thyme chicken and a few others.

Do you have any specific dishes you enjoy cooking with chicken?

I cook with both with a slight preference for Kosher because of the flake size. That last 'season to taste' is always with sea salt.

So lo and behold if I didn't find a Kosher sea salt. It's pricy but it gives me the best of both!

I generally pan sear my chicken, salt n pepper, then add what ever flavor at the end. Sometimes it's BBq, most often its lemons n capers, with thyme.

Tonight I am doing a pork tenderloin roast marinated in apple juice, maple syrup, dijon and herbs. The only thing I'm going to serve with it is a pile of veggies : pan roasted red potato, honey ginger glazed carrots, green beans, brussel sprouts, turnip, squash, swiss chard etc

For dessert I am thinking this:

Scalloped Apples

4-6 large apples, sliced(Golden Delicious, Gala, etc)-

toss with 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1-2 tablespoons butter

Cover & microwave for 10-12 minutes : serve warm or cold.

*Note* You can also serve this as a side dish with pork and substitute the sugar for splenda.

I am really feeling simple meals right now...

Salads and a grilled meat, or roasted vegetables.

I might try some meat skewers this week as well i think, maybe some marinades... I like being able to spend only a few minutes in the kitchen and still feel satisfied with my meal.

Regarding chicken ..........I have not been very successful with chicken. I make good parmesan chicken, and finally fried chicken, but, so much work. For this I use my mom's electric skillet. It is really good for fried chicken AND chicken fried steak. I have never used a pressure cooker. Anyone ??

We have so many places that serve good fried chicken.

My favorite things, which I indulge once in a while are pizza, Mexican food, and fried chicken

When I worked, people would always get burgers, fries, etc for lunch. I made my lunch, and saved money, not to mention healthier eating.

I am craving that banana pudding with the nilla wafers !
Feeling lazy today. Probably going to make some pasta with peas, mushrooms, onions, and the real mccoy parmesan cheese on top.

I love skewers and marinades. I am craving lamb again or a sticky cajun chicken kabob. I love simple meals!
