Is That Oatmeal?

"Is There Skin on My Chicken?"

'No"

"Is That Oatmeal!?!?"

Oatmeal Chicken!
Got this recipe outta Betty Crockers New Choices Cookbook and it's Delicious! You should try it!

Recipe calls for 3 to 31/2 lbs of fryer chicken. I used about 4 pieces of chicken thighs.
2 Tbsp Margarine
1 Cup Quick cook Oats ( I used regular Old Fashioned, I have No Idea if this makes a difference!)
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp pepper (p.s. I sprinkled my chicken with salt, I couldn't help myself...)
2 Egg Whites ( I just used 2 eggs, yolks and all!)

Remove skin from chicken!
In a heated 375 degree oven, melt margarine.
Mix everything together except eggs.
Dip chicken in eggs then in oatmeal mixture.
Bake uncovered about half an hour, turn and bake another half an hour, or until juices are clear!

What is This Supposed to Be?

Well... It's Candy! Toffee Candy!
Why is it Gooey?


I Got this recipe from http://peasinapod.typepad.com/peas-in-a-pod/2010/12/holiday-bakingrecipes-anyone.html. I made this for Christmas a couple of years ago and it is Delicious! So I thought I would make some again.

But it didn't come out the same. It was very soft and not crunchy the way toffee should be. I think maybe because I used Margarine instead of real butter. Or I didn't stir it long enough...

Either way, it was still good.

But

Next time I make this, and I will, I am going to be sure to use real butter!

Burrito Pads!

Not Burritos
O.K. I love Burritos. I make them all the time for lunch. I go through a ton of Tortillas or as some in this house call them: Burrito Pads.
Seriously, I have never heard them called that before in my life. And as far as I know Big Baby is the Only one who calls them that.
Home Made Burrito Pads


3Cups Flour
1 1/2 tsp Salt
5 Tbsp Shortening
1 Cup warm Water (About)

Mix flour and salt, cut in shortening till crumbly. Slowly add water.
Mix together till it comes away from side of bowl.
Knead on floured surface for about 5 mins or until its smooth. ;)
Divide into 12 even balls. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Roll into circles.
Cook about 2 minutes on one side, turn, cook another minute on the other side.
