      I made Eating Well's chicken with sundried tomato sauce. The sauce was good but the thin chicken cutlets I used turned out like rubber. So we had sauced rubber...and rice.

        Thanks! I think I'll freeze them and see what happens. We leave for Florida soon and will be back in 3 months!

          We had crab cakes with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. I used cilantro in my cakes instead of parsley. I made the Old Bay seasoning from a recipe on the internet. I really really like cilantro and feel bad for those who can't like it.

            Every year I make the German stolen that my German neighbor Gerta introduced me to 43 years ago. I actually watched her make it but I could never duplicate hers! I used to search far and wide for the farmers cheese she used, I purchased the Dr Oetker essences and I hunted down lard at the local supermarket. My husband insists I make it anyway and now it is a tradition. Every year it comes out differently. This year I replaced the farmers cheese with cottage cheese. I also substituted extra butter for the lard. I couldn't find the Dr Oetker baking powder so I used my regular baking powder. ( I also discovered that the German baking powder in the packet wasn't the same as our baking powder)! I didn't have the essences either so I substituted extracts. Well this year I did not overbake the loaves but they spread out like never before. The non crunchy part tastes good. Oh well there's always next year.

              BA cherish that old slow cooker when low was low and high was high. Now low is high and high is really high IMHO.!

                Baker Aunt, I was wondering what you thought of KA's alternative sugar. I happened to see it when I was looking through the site to use up my gift card. (again)

                  I made David Lebovitz's "spiced glazed nuts and pretzel mix". I always substitute Penzey's Arizona dreaming for the cayenne. It is addictive.

                    I had leftover salsa so I marinated chicken breasts in salad dressing and various spices. I then topped the chicken with the salsa and cheese before baking. I also crushed some taco chips for the top.

                        I volunteered to make corn bread for the chili contest in our over 55 community. I found a lazy person's recipe on "spicysouthernkitchen.com". It called for 2 boxes of Jiffy Muffin Mix and used 1T of sugar. (I like sweet cornbread). Any way they have a variety of Jiffy Mixes now and I used the honey one. The cornbread had just the right amount of sweetness and some of the people asked for the recipe.

                          I finally made Salmon. Baked it on sheet pan with roasted potatoes and asparagus. The recipe was from Creme De La Crumb. It was healthy and delicious.!

                              We had sticky honey lime chicken which I baked in the oven with acorn squash and baked potatoes. Everything baked at the same temperature which made things easy!

                                My neighbor brought over her chicken noodle soup. Will be in the upper 70's today vs 50's 2 days ago. Will still be good I'm sure.

                                  Just got back from a bus trip to Maine. Had the worst Reuben sandwich I've ever had. The bread wasn't toasted and it dissolved in the sauerkraut. The corned beef was stiffer than cardboard. Oh well. Last night we had chicken thighs marinated in Japanese bbq sauce, with roasted asparagus and baked potato.
