marfar chicken...

3 lbs chicken(we used tenderloins)
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tbs soy sauce
pinch salt
2 tbs baking powder
1 1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
oil for frying

mix salt, flour, and baking powder and sift together

mix soy sauce, milk and eggs together

add a little of the flour mixture to the egg mixture

cut chicken into strips

turn the fryer on to 365 f till ready... thoroughly cover each chicken slice with the flour mixture, then with the egg mixture, and put in fryer till golden brown... take them out, and check one chicken from each 'batch' to make sure its cooked

this was a HIT with all 5 kids, and the 3 adults!!! we had some peper sauce with it, and a vegie mix(steamed).... we will do this again.... we might even try my 'puree cauliflower' trick, but, well see...lol...

mac and cheese with cauliflower

got the idea from deceptively deliciouse(but doubled and changed a little to taste)

large back macaroni
olive oil
2 table spoon all-purpose flour
1 cup nonfat milk
1 cup cauliflower puree
4 cups shredded cheese
8 oz cream cheese
salt
paprika

boil the macaronie(note, any noodles can work) and drain when cooked

in another pan, use cooking spray, med heat, add oil, flour, cook, stirring constantly, but dont let it get brown.. add the milk, then cheese, keep stirring, and the puree, creamcheese, and the seasonings you want....
then mix it all....

this was ok, but not loved... next, we will try it with sweet potato puree.... however, the left overs made a nice other meal, ill post that next, lol...
