Chicken Francese

This recipe is one of my family’s favorite and it’s easy to make.

One one of our first dates together Tom took me to an Italian restaurant. It was the first time I had gone to one and didn’t know what to order. I didn’t grow up with Italian food and being only sixteen years old my food experience was related to my family. Tom ordered for me. We had Veal Francese. You can make this recipe with veal, but I find that with veal there is a fine between brilliant and shoe leather. It can be overcooked quit quickly.

Ingredients:

Chicken breast
Butter
Lemons
Flour (seasoned with salt & pepper)
Egg & milk (seasoned with salt & pepper)
Oil

Helpful Hints:

When making this dish for guests it can be done the day before.

Remember to experiment if you like and be creative, but always have fun in the kitchen.

Candy Pies

I’ve recently discovered this website called Pinterest. One of the things I love about it is the food section. I found this yummy recipe called, “Kiss Pies,” by Jenny Flake. (Do check out her recipe of the Kiss Pies. She has great pics.) I would like to thank her for allowing me to use her recipe and feature it on my blog. Please visit Jenny’s blog Picky-Palate by clicking HERE. She has wonderful recipes and she’s very creative. You will love it.

I call them Candy Pies because I used other candies besides Hershey Kisses. I hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients:

Pie dough
Candy – Hershey Kisses, Rolos, Peanut butter cups, etc.
Egg – white part only
Water – 1 tablespoon
Sugar

Helpful Hints:

Heat oven first to 350 then place the pies in the oven for 20-28 minutes. When making the peanut butter cups – place them “largel” side down on the pie shell. Let the pies cool before sprinkling the powdered sugar.
