Baked Shrimp Recipe With Lemony Mayonnaise
Except for my Mother’s hallowed fried chicken recipe, I’m pretty much convinced that panko bread crumbs are the perfect breading for almost anything. The end result of a light and crispy/crunchy coating just seems like such a no fail solution to frying and even baking.
And except for my Mother’s hallowed fried chicken recipe which is accompanied by buttery mashed potatoes and creamy white chicken gravy, I’m thinking peppery arugula may be the best little platform for about any type of meat. I’ve been using it alot lately and feeling so springy about the whole thing.

Sherried Mushrooms with Fried Eggs on Toast
My Sunday mornings are reserved for spending time in the kitchen to serve up a tasty breakfast. An over easy egg is more than likely to make an appearance.
I found this recipe over at Food and Wine and it’s been bookmarked for quite sometime as a “must try”. The dish starts off with a slice of chewy rustic Italian bread. It’s topped with a mixture of mushrooms and onions, which have been caramelized in olive oil and sherry. That is then topped with a fried egg.
No Recipe Required: Chicken Cutlets
- Salt/pepper and saute two chicken cutlets until browned and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl mix together fresh baby greens and any herbs you have available such as mint, chives, tarragon or basil.
- Drizzle greens with Dijon vinaigrette, or your favorite bottled dressing and toss well.
- Place cooked cutlets on a serving plate and drizzle with a little of the vinaigrette
- Top with baby greens and herb mixture
