Oven-Baked Chicken Tenders During Storm Hercules
New York had its’ first snow storm this year. My job closed on Friday and I stayed in during the deep freeze. I finally got up and went out on Sunday (it warmed up to a balmy 35 degrees) for some fresh ingredients, because pretty much ate all weekend. 🙂 I kept it simple and picked up some chicken cutlets and made these yummy and easy Oven Baked Chicken Tenders.
Oven-Baked Chicken Tenders
oven 400
1 lb chicken tenders
2TB Mayo
1tp vinegar
2 TB Olive oil
salt/pepper
Combine all of the above and let marinate 10 minutes
1/2 Cup Seasoned Bread Crumbs
Lightly coat each tender in bread crumbs and place in baking sheet/pan lined with parchment paper (easy clean-up) 🙂
Cook for 15-20 min til golden brown.
Enjoy and stay warm!! Welcome Winter 🙂
Snow Days and Hot Cocoa
I got a text from my office manager this morning and he told me that the office will be closed today. It’s been snowing all night and the city just announced that NYC schools will be closed. My office follows NYC protocol and that means today is a “SNOW DAY”. And it’s Friday – Oh, yeah!
Growing up, snow meant there would be hot cocoa and cookies waiting for us after we played for hours and hours. How we loved to play in the snow. I know children will be enjoying today.
So I’m treating myself to some hot cocoa and chocolate graham cracker star cookies. They only come out this time of year. Love them!! If it’s snowing where you are, please stay safe and warm and join me in a cup. Welcome 2014 🙂
Hot Cocoa
2 Tb2 sugar, 2 Tbs Cocoa, Dash of salt, 1C Milk, 1/4 tsp vanilla
Mix sugar, cocoa and salt in large mug. Heat milk in microwave 1 min or until hot (be careful) Slowly add milk to cocoa mixture, still well. Stir in vanilla. Enjoy!!
Happy 2014
How wonderful it is to start a new year with the people we love. This new year we had the pleasure of having a family gathering at Vera’s home.
Liz was so proud to be the guest at her daughter’s house.
Past New Year’s Day gatherings, Liz would host the day at her home, but this year she got to put up her feet and be the guest.
Well, an almost guest. Liz had to do some of the work since her daughter was really having it at her home because Liz had asked her to host this year’s New Year’s Day celebration.
All the kids came to break some New Year’s bread.
No, not all the kids.
My son and his family were MIA. See, he had his deviated septum surgery on Monday and was unable to make it. 🙁 He is still recouping.
Now Bill, Vera’s husband, was the bestest host. Always making sure that we had what we needed.
And always serving with a smile. Just love Bill!
Here she is. Vera! Our hostess with the mostess
Vera certainly made her guests feel right at home, and she kept up with the crazy pace that we can create when we are all together under one roof.
How wonderful is it to start a new year with family and very dear friends.
Now we have to get use to writing the number 2014 on checks and other items, but we never have to get use to being together.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
MAY GOD BRING MORE FAMILY AND LOVE INTO YOUR LIVES, AS HE HAS BROUGHT INTO OURS.
