chicken/salad for lunch - beef/onion for dinner
Since there is a lovely coating of thick ice on the trees - I am going to cook up anything in the freezers just in case we lose power like we did in October! (I never want to go through that again!)
I've got chicken breasts that we will have for lunch....breaded with seasoned flour - flour, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, fresh minced parsley, minced garlic (after dipping in beaten egg); skillet fried in olive oil and more garlic. Then diced and served over a salad: romaine and iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, chickpeas, hard-cooked eggs, diced white Cheddar and Swiss, pepperoncini; tossed with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper and basil.
For dinner - loosemeat hoagies (toasted and lightly buttered). Ground chuck fried in a bit of olive oil with chopped onion and red bell pepper, salt, pepper, parsley, garlic with melted cheese on top. And extra fried sliced onions to top that.
Baked potato wedges - scrubbed and cut into wedges; tossed in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, parsley. Bake till done. I have Cheez Whiz I can heat for dipping potatoes in.
