CEiMB - Crispy Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Sauce

-
In our Craving Ellie group this week, Jennifer of The Rookie Baker chose the chicken fingers.  They could not be easier to make.  Go to Jennifer's blog on the link above to see how she fared with hers and to get the recipe.

I'm home with workmen this morning hanging sheetrock, and today is Chandler's birthday, so he is coming home for a lunch of good chicken fingers!!  If he is a good boy, I might take him to the Cheesecake Factory tonight for dinner.

The chicken fingers were simple.  Really just marinate in buttermilk, then coat with a cereal coating.  I used Multi-Bran Chex because that is what I had on hand.  I did add some red pepper flakes to the mix to give them a bit of a kick.  I took my friend Kayte's advice and cooked them on a rack in the oven with a cookie sheet underneath.  They came out very crispy all over.  Great idea Kayte.  Thanks!

The honey mustard sauce is my favorite.   These were very good and a great pick!  Stop by next week as I am hosting and we will be cooking up some Tuna Noodle Casserole!

Those came out to have a interesting texture. There must have been a crunch.

I forgot to blog this. I am going to try to get it in before, I go to work.

Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHANDLER! You better take him to the Cheesecake Factory or he may never forgive you.
Good luck on that sheet rock hanging...such a messy job!
AND... those fingers looks DELISH! They look nice and crispy. I should have put the red pepper in my version - love the heat.

First things first: Happy Birthday, Chandler! (And, between you and me, who doesn't love a guy who is slightly bad some of the time, right? Cheesecake Factory sounds like a fine deal!) Your dish looks great, Peggy, it was a hit here as well.

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

-

This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes. ...

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc...

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to...
