Last night we had a blast! Ken, Kevin and I, plus mom and Lowell headed out to Collegedale to watch the fireworks. It was great! The music really adds to the enjoyment, and watching Kevin play. He can make friends so easy. We know that we are blessed when your child who is used to be kept away from functions due to his food allergies, can just walk up to a strange kid and say "Hey, you want to play?". He is definitely not shy, thank goodness!
Today, what's on the agenda for our weekend of fun? Well, we are going to pick blackberries and then see what else the day encourages us to do. I guess I'll be making a blackberry cobbler tonight! Maybe we can even make a run into downtown La Fayette for a bite to eat. Who knows. I just love getting in the car and going. No plans, just adventure!
As promised, here is a recipe I received from my mom many years ago. It is for the most moist and crispy chicken, without frying....hence the name "Moist and Crispy Chicken". As always, I have made the necessary adjustments so that Kevin could eat it. Not to mention, taking out the regular mayonnaise and subbing Vegenaise, it cuts the fat! Always good to hear, huh?
Moist and Crispy Chicken
4 boneless chicken breasts, butterflied
2 ½ cups cornflakes, crushed
1/3 cup allergy free veggie-mayonnaise (I use Vegenaise, found at Publix Greenwise, Village Market or Greenlife)
1 tablespoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 425.
Prepare cookie sheet by covering with aluminum foil and placing a raised rack so that the fat can drip off the chicken into the pan.
Mix cornflakes, paprika, salt and pepper together. Place on plate. Brush veggie-mayonnaise over chicken, covering all areas. Roll chicken in cornflake mixture and place on rack. Continue with all pieces of chicken. Spoon any remaining cornflake mixture on tops of chickens on rack.
Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 160 and juices run clear.
Makes 4 servings
As for the recipe next week, it will be my own Sweet Cornbread. Yummy served along side the Vegetable Hamburger Stew (recipe #A6 - 6/13/09)
Hope everyone has a great 4th of July. Be safe!
