Today’s cutlets 7/21/25 and market fresh beans…

1/2023

One of the dishes my mother- in- law was noted for was her special chicken cutlets.  Surprisingly she did not cook all Italian meals.  She also made the best eye rounds roasts for hot roast beef sandwiches.  I don't have her exact recipe but one thing I remember is that she filleted them so thin which at the time impressed me big time.  I tried very hard to filet them thin. A very sharp knife is important but watch your fingers please!   This special meal is for my hubby.  Here's hoping they are a little like hers were.

Note:  Today's cutlets were fried in vegetable oil and breaded with plain bread crumbs. Nice and crispy!

Happy Cooking from my kitchen to yours,

I used two boneless chicken breast cutlets.  I have a great knife(I think was supposed to be for slicing tomatoes)
and filleted them.( you'll get four pieces)
1 egg beaten(I added some salt and pepper)
1 cup Panko Bread crumbs(I thinking my mother- in- law used seasoned bread crumbs)
1/2 tsp. dried parsley
1/2 tsp. Italian cheese

Dip chicken in egg and then bread crumbs..Put 4 tablespoons olive oil or canola in skillet and warm. Add breaded chicken.  Fry slowly until golden brown.  Note: this next step can be left out if your chicken breasts were sliced very thin). Transfer cutlets to baking dish and baked  325 degrees (covered)for about 20 minutes..

I served the cutlets with mashed potatoes, corn and applesauce.  (That's the way my mother in law served them!)  HAPPY COOKING!

A few online tips for your information! List #1

Several of my Facebook followers have mentioned they love my online tips.  Everyday useful and helpful ideas to help make your baking, cooking and everyday life a bit easier.  

Here are some online tips that I have accumulated over the past year or so. I try to update the list every so often.  I hoping you find these useful.. Copy and paste these for your convenience.

1. To make absolutely scrumptious mashed potatoes add a big spoonful of mayonnaise before you add butter or milk. Then use less butter and milk than normally.

2. Apples, pears and potatoes dropped in cold, lightly salted water as they are peeled will retain their color.

3. Corn in the microwave... Nuke corn for two or three minutes on high with just the water that clings to the kernels after you rinse them off.

4. When using a broiler to cook steaks, pre-heat oven until it's really hot. This will sear the outside of the meat and keep the juices in.

5. When baking with honey, remember the following: add l/2 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey used. 

6. Put tomatoes which are not quite ripe into a paper bag and store on your kitchen counter for a day or two. A ripe tomato is going to smell like a tomato.

7. Another calorie saving trick is to substitute Miracle Whip at 35 calories a tablespoon or mustard at 15 calories a tablespoon for mayonnaise which weighs in at 100 calories a tablespoon.

8. Be gentle with sweet onions. They can bruise more easily than a sturdier yellow onion.

 9. Because the refrigerator is humid, storing herbs and spices there is not OK. To keep larger quantities of spices fresh, store them in the freezer in tightly sealed containers.

10. Good Feng Shui for the kitchen: Get rid of clutter. Clutter contributes to financial logjams and cash flow problems. Get organized!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder ❤

Hello everyone :)

I am writing this post while on our way home after a stressful few days with love ones. Our hearts are heavy with concern for two of our family members.

I don't know too often that a family has to deal with illness in both families at the same time with distance being a factor.

We have been away from our home staying in hotels while trying very hard to be a comfort to our families. Traveling is stressful alone and trying to be supportive involves so many emotions.  Highs and lows are dealt with on a daily basis.

I hope to be back in my kitchen soon going though my favorite family recipes and sharing them with all my followers ❤

Love and Peace❤
