About Me

My photo
Like most people, I love to eat. I love to cook. And as of a year ago on Dec. 26th...I love to do it all in a healthy way. I'm living proof that all you have to do is change minor things in your life and you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. In one year, I changed how I ate (portion control), what I ate (not a lot of fried food, more veggies, less alcohol and sugars) and added a little exercise in my life (3-4 days a week for 30-45 minutes). And at the end I am 52 lbs lighter :) That was 3 years ago… and I've kept the weight off. These recipes have helped me keep it off and are easily adaptable for any and all diets. Just use a little imagination and let your stomach guide you :)

Southern Fried Chicken

This is definitely not on the diet...



But what you need:

1 lb chicken
1 cup oil (I used wesson vegetable oil)
1 Tablespoon bacon grease (because Nanny said so)
1 cup flour
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste

1. heat grease and oil in skillet on medium heat
2. crack eggs into bowl and mix until smooth 
3. wash chicken with water
4. put flour in separate bowl, add chicken
5. after chicken is covered in flour, dip into egg wash
6. re-cover with flour
7. when oil is hot (drop a little bit of flour into oil and if it bubbles away it is ready), drop chicken into it 
8. wait until the edges are brown and top is more white than pink, then flip
9. wait until edges start turning a reddish-brown and remove from oil
10. salt and pepper to taste

Enjoy :)

Because I know we did :)
