@ Burnt,

I’ve done the oven fried chicken with flour . DH likes the shake and bake oven fried because it reminds him of KFC without the grease . It’s the big crusty flakes he likes ..
Ive also done it with breadcrumbs and seasoning too .

Alva, it's carried by Walmart. (Creamette pasta)

Are you referencing Dirty Sally?

We love goulash, created my own recipe but, always interested in any upgrades or hacks.

I put loads of carrots, onion, mushrooms, fresh parsley and tomatoes in mine, like the one dish meals for busy days.

Back in the 70's and 80's we used to buy fish that had been frozen into a solid brick, mom would cover the whole thing with crumbs (bread, crackers, potato chips or whatever), herbs and things like chopped up onions, peppers, tomatoes and cheese.... I've never been a fish person but that I liked. Now the frozen fish is all in individual fillets and although I've tried I've never been able to replicate that.

Here's another kitchen hack.

We like fish, mostly baked but, occasionally the fish just needs to be fried, so, you can use crackers that are ground up finely, seasoned with salt and pepper and a little dried dill weed, wash your fish shake off excess water, dredge in cracker crumbs, lay on a greased baking sheet and give it a spray of olive oil. Totally fills the fried fish hunger without all the grease.

You can substitute bread crumbs, shake and bake or the hack to accomplish this.

Way, you can add seasonings to the croutons. I would think that some garlic, onion, pepper and a bit of chicken bullion would make plain croutons taste like fried chicken.

We really enjoy the Italian on pork, good on chicken but, garlic parm on chicken is the best.

Burnt, your fried chicken must be bland as cardboard ;-)

My fried chicken is soaked for a minimum of 2 days in buttermilk, dredge in seasoned, with garlic, onion, black pepper, paprika, salt and cayenne flour with some baking soda and powder to ensure a fluffy crunchy coating.

Found a great recipe for what my mom used to call "Sally's Golash". And I am ON for it. It even has the milk and tomato soup she used to use in her's. Cremette macaroni is sure harder to find now, though.

Fried chicken is just coated with seasoned flour. What I like to do is make 'oven' fried chicken with Japanese panko breadcrumbs. It cooks up nice.

Thank you to all for the birthday wishes .

Shake and Bake has a crispy fried chicken flavor that my DH likes , but it’s expensive . I don’t do it often .

I haven’t tried it yet but my daughter makes a chicken recipe with crushed potato chips when she’s at the bottom of a bag of chips .

The crouton idea sounds good, especially since we tend to not use them fast enough in salads and they go stale .

Just wanted to share my shake and bake hack, because I am to cheap to spend 6+ bucks on it.

Get a bag of croutons, let the air out and use your rolling pin to crush fine. They have enough oil that you don't need to dredge your meat in anything for it to stick nicely.

Makes good chicken nuggets too!

Happy birthday way!

They still sell shake n bake! My grandmother used to make me the best shake n bake pork chops, I wish mine were as good as hers (they were probably seasoned with extra love 🥰)

Anyone remember Bake n' Shake? Or was it Shake n' Bake?
Coating your chicken in that made it crispy.
Baking is always better than frying (or deep-frying) your chicken. That is bad for you.

Counting the calories and the price at any fast foods causes my b/p to raise, but I get even hungrier. We're out and about doing errands, and the need to eat strikes me. Now, we just go straight home instead of trying 3 fast foods places-the lines are too long; the place is too dirty; the price is too much.

Bought a steak and shared it at home for $20.00. On a salad made it
'Steak Diane'.
Fast food would have been $30.

Splurging is buying packaged shredded carrots and shredded cabbage to add to the lettuce salad at home, making preparation quicker than fast foods. And making the salad dressing from scratch will save lots. (And it was good.)

Leaning into my "queen of leftovers" persona I turned some cabbage roll casserole I was getting tired of into soup by I adding in some onions and garlic with frozen mixed veg and beef broth. I had a gravy package that needed to be used because it was expired so I used that too. Of course now I leftovers of that for another meal LOL

Tacos made with soft corn tortillas and ground turkey plus all the trimmings.
Bread pudding for dessert. I haven't made one in years. It was a little bland so next time I will jazz it up with more fruit, more spices and maybe a little maple syrup. R said his mother used to make it with molasses.

So,
Thanks for the reminder waytomisery and
I'm sorry you and your MIL fell.Falls are evil and do so much damage ,all over,so quick~

Chinese take out tonight.
My fortune cookie says

“ Success is getting up just one more time than you fall down . “

At first I took the “ fall down “ literally .
I guess my mind went there because we are waiting for MIL to fall down again . 🙄🙄.

Tonight I'm making a casserole I can toss in my little counter top oven and forget. I'm using shredded cabbage, onions, peppers, cheemo perogies and diced kielbasa, I'll stir in some Greek style yogurt toward the end.... should be good (I hope).

Nacy, love beef stew with mashed potatoes. Mmmmm! And it makes great leftovers.

I never get tired of cooking, I get tired of cleaning up the mess I make cooking.
