Last nights dinner

Sorry no photos just yet. So I mentioned in my previous blog that my hubby is a very picky eater. His palate is sort of like a kids..he likes the basics....mac and cheese, chicken fingers, hamburgers (plain with just cheese), etc. Taking this into consideration (as well as the time constraints.....we went to look at a house last night...YAY) I took to the freezer for something quick and easy. In the freezer currently is frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts, veal cubes, ground sirloin, ground turkey, chicken drumsticks, ham. This is what I have to work with this week.
Last night I decided to make a low carb meal......Lo Carb Oven "Fried" Chicken Fingers
These are so versatile....I have made them with any number of "breadings" and seasonings....I have made them like chicken parm, breaded with nut crust, taco flavored. Yum, all so tasty.
Here is what I did last night

Lo Carb Oven "Fried" Chicken Fingers

3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts thawed and cut into strips
1 Cup Unsalted Mixed Nuts (I buy a huge bag from Sams)
Seasonings to taste- Chili powder, Cumin, Garlic Powder, Salt, Pepper
1/4 Cup Flour (you don't need this, but I added it last night to make the nuts go a little further)

1. Grind the nuts and seasonings together to a texture to your liking....we like ours a little crunchier so we leave bigger pieces

2. Put nut and seasoning mixture on a plate and mix in flour

3. Coat chicken strips in the nut/flour/seasoning mixture

4. Place chicken strips on a greased baking sheet

5. Bake 15 min at 400 F (or until the outside is browned and the meat is no longer pink)

6. Enjoy!

We made mac and cheese (I use Dreamfield's low carb pasta for the hubby- it is so tasty) and canned grean beans (just about the only veggie he will eat) to go along with the meal. I put a bunch of condiments out too...ketchup, mustard, bbq sauce.

Easy, healthy and tasty!

Hello

I have been stalking other food blogs and trying out some of the other bloggers recipes. I thought it might be nice for me to share some of my recipes. I love to cook, but due to time constraints and dietary needs I don't always get to make things the way I would like. In this blog I plan to share my daily healthy recipes (low fat, low carb, low cal), party recipes, and essential kitchen items. I will also post any new kitchen items that look interesting that I would like to try.
My husband is a very picky eater (ie- doesn't like to eat his veggies), so I will also try to include any little tricks that may work to get your picky eaters to eat at least something healthy once in a while.
I hope you enjoy!
