I got a suprise today from my blog friend Maggie and www.saladgirl.com!
She got tagged and is passing along the blog love. . . thanks! Maggie likes organic ketchup on just about everything and has been known to add vegetarian hot dogs to salads – I am not kidding! She routinely comes up with interesting combinations, so check her site out when you can! I’ll have to figure out who to pass it on to!
Dinner tonight was pure comfort food. Chicken Parmesan! I pound the chicken really thin and then dip it in an egg/milk combination, then seasoned bread crumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese. I pan fry it in 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil – gets nice and crispy!
With lots of red pepper flakes! Here’s how it looks in the pan:
And when I downloaded my pictures, I found this:
I completely forgot about our cookie exchange at work, which is tomorrow! So unfortunately, it is going to be boring with what I have on hand. I decided to make the Quaker vanishing oatmeal cookies but substituted dried cranberries for the raisins and added walnuts. Oh well, better than nothing!
Tomorrow night is the season finale of Biggest Loser! Can’t wait. All I know is I don’t want Vicky to win!
Note: McDonald’s Egg Nog Shakes are amazing! Hannah went to drop off a movie at Blockbuster and picked up a giant coffee at 7-11 for .52 cents – I guess from now until January 1, ANY SIZE COFEE is .52 cents – nice! She got the premium roast with peppermint candy cane syrup. She picked up a small egg nog shake for Tony – so good!
And we have a winter advisory. When I left my office it was 8 degrees, with a windchill of -8 degrees. Then tomorrow, starting around lunchtime, we are supposed to get anywhere from 3 to 6 inches. Guess I’ll have to get my snow blowing face on!
I need to update my blog roll too – just let me know if you’d like to be added!
See you tomorrow!
I would love to be added to your blogroll (www.TasteNotWaist.com). You are already on mine – I appreciate you stopping by to leave comments.
And jumping ahead a post – will be interested to hear about baked vs. micro’d spaghetti squash. (I always micro mine, too.)
It was 87 degrees F here in Florida yesterday – I had to turn on the a/c. So I can’t even imagine -8 !!!!
Your dinner looks amazing! And the size of that coffee is huge, but that sounds like a really good deal!
I’d love to be on your blogroll, you’re def. on mine!
Oh man, if Vicky wins I will be so disappointed!! I’m totally rooting for Michelle! That actually reminds me that my pvr totally flaked out on me so I’ll have to go and read the recap over at Television without Pity!
They’re forcasting a storm for us too starting this afternoon. I’m not looking forward to it, but if it means it won’t be as cold I guess it’s ok!
Vanishing oatmeal is oine of my true favorites when it comes to cookies. As for The Biggest Loser, I’m with you and hope that Vicky is shut out.
That’s my kind of coffee!!
What a sweet note from Hannah 🙂
I haven’t been reading your blog for very long (I ‘came over’ from a link from your hysterically funny brother!) but I love it and am getting some great ideas. Your Hannah is so sweet and thoughtful…she reminds me of my daughter!
wooooooo…..that’s a big cup of coffee!!!!
your dinner looks amazing!!!!! really a comfort meal~~~~
Wow, now that’s a cup of coffee!!! What a sweet note. Bet that made your day.
awesome coffee! my mom would love that! haha!
stay warm and hannah was so cute w/ that little note! 😀
I’ll have to try that McDonald’s eggnog shake – I love Starbuck’s eggnog latte’s during the winter. I noticed going through the drive thru the other day (I only got a sweet tea!!) that they are STILL having that free coffee mondays. I thought it was a one time deal, but EVERY monday is free coffee. I’ll have to start taking advantage of that.
The weather is COLD. I didn’t expect it to be THIS cold and froze my butt off going into work tonight. The roads were also covered in ice, because I guess somebody forgot to salt!!
I’d love to be added to the blogroll! You’re already on mine – I check in everyday!
Hehe, thanks for the shoutout 🙂
Have a good night!
Wow, that coffee is awesome!!
Stay warm!
Omgosh, anyone who is within a 10-mile radius of a 7 Eleven, you have to get a 24 oz. 1/2 Premium Roast coffee, 1/2 Peppermint Candy Cane creamer/drink. IT’S ONLY THE BEST DEAL EVER!
ps- mom, that dinner tonight was nothing short of spectacular. I just want to dream about it every night of my life.
XO
YOWZA that is one huge coffee! Just my type of size, XL 😀 Peppermint syrup sounds awesome…I noticed your not on my blogroll- so i’ll add u!
