Meatlover in the Kitchen


A few days ago I managed to get Meatlover into the Kitchen. I decided he would help me make his supper, breaded chicken breast. Above you can see Meatlover cutting the breasts into halves. (We later learned that 3rds would have worked better) He then dipped the pieces into flour; egg; and finally a mixture of plain bread crumbs, lemon pepper seasoning, black pepper, Valencia orange peel, chipotle chili powder, and chopped parsley.


We then took the meat and cooked in in a good layer of EVOO. It ended up with a nice crust on it. Unfortunately because the meat was so thick it took too long to cook which caused the crust to kind of fall off of the meat. We also made up so yummy corn on the cob for us to eat with our meal ( I had a Boca burger). It was good but I cant wait till later this summer so we can have some of the nice juicy corn!! YUMM!! Below is the final picture of the chicken.

Wake up Meatlover!

So a few mornings ago I could not get Meatlover to get out of bed. It was almost 1 and he was still asking for more time to sleep. So I decided to make something that would force him out of bed, FRENCH TOAST! Yummm!!! I love french toast its sweet, without being full of sugar, and has eggs in it so its full of protein. So aside from all the carbs and butter its almost good for you. Here I served it with 100% Apple Juice with added Fiber GV brand. It was really sweet alone but worked perfectly with the meal. So when I finished cooking I took this picture and went to wake up Meatlover. He immediately woke up and came out to eat. Ahh the power of good food!!

A Classic...

Yep, that's right..its Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese. I used to hate this combination so much but as I got older I started to love it. I know I'm weird but unlike most people this was not a staple in my childhood. We always had our grilled cheese with ketchup, a combination I just cant stand. I have always loved grilled cheese. There is something about heating it up and that buttery crust that takes a boring cheese sandwich to a whole different level. This meal was so filling and comforting I ended up eating it three times in 2 days. Yumm.
