Today is my creative cooking day. I have a package of
boneless, skinless, chicken breasts in the refrigerator awaiting a new
identity. I've been reading online, perusing my cookbooks, and hoping for
inspiration. Wouldn't you know it, when I was just about to lose hope, cousin
Costa called from Charleston. When he is not lecturing me on my politics, he is
telling me about the delicious food he has just made. I knew he would be the
perfect person to ask for help. Although maybe his recipes are not always low calorie,
he does normally cook with whole fresh foods and everything he has ever made us
has been delicious. He gave me the idea to stuff chicken breasts with bacon and
cheese and fry them in butter until they are golden brown. Well, I obviously
had to tweak the recipe a bit to remove a few calories. I improvised on his
recipe, left out the cheese and added dates and capers. Then, I did a light egg
wash and rolled them in walnuts. I will be baking them, not frying. Time will
tell how they turn out. I'm going to add a salad, spinach and sweet potato.
Finally, something different on Patti's plate.
NOT!!!
Update: Ernie called and said he was picking up Barone's
pizza. Tony suggested we eat the chicken roll tomorrow. The temptation was too
great. I caved.
I am bad.
I am fat.
I hate myself.
