Lovely and simple for breakfast, or any time!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups milk
1 egg
cinnamon
brown sugar
sliced bread (better if it’s left in the freezer overnight)
butter

Guidelines:

In a mixing bowl, combine the milk and egg, add in some cinnamon (according to your taste) and then mix thoroughly.
In a frying pan on medium-high heat, add in some butter, dip a slice of bread into the milk mixture and then place it on top of the butter. Once the bread is toasted on one side, add a bit more butter and then flip the bread over onto the other side.
In a plate, sprinkle some brown sugar, and once the bread is out of the frying pan, place it on the plate so that both sides of the bread are lightly coated with the sugar.

Usually, I don’t like it soggy or sweet, so I use frozen bread to avoid excessive sogginess and I don’t add sugar to the milk mixture, but you may vary the ingredients depending on how sweet or soggy you like it! I prefer the brown sugar over syrup, but of course, it’s also good served with maple syrup, or in the case of my son… nutella!

Enjoy!

Day 4, Week 11

Unlike the shake n’ bake fish, the chicken version is quite delicious! And this time my sister was here so she showed me the error of my ways… apparently only 1 piece of chicken goes into the bag at a time! Yes, my friends, the looser that I am, I put all of the meat into the bag at once and wondered what was ‘great’ about this!

Ingredients:

chicken wings
Shake n’ Bake
chicago chicken seasoning
herbs

Guidelines:

Season chicken wings with the chicago chicken seasoning and your choice of herbs
Follow the directions on the Shake n’ Bake package… very simple, fill the bag with the mixture, then place one wing at a time in the bag and shake!

Then bake until the wings are fully cooked

Served with fries and biscuits

Week 8, Day 1

My blog buddy Kai suggested that home-style fries made with sweet potatoes are yummy, so I decided to give it a try!

It was really yummy, my husband loved it, but the kids still didn’t :( I will make it again though! thanks Kai!

Indian Fried Lamb

Ingredients:
Shan Fry Lamb seasoning (which I cannot find, please email me if anyone knows where I can find it online)
Lamb steaks

Guidelines:

This is so totally simple, I just marinated the lamb steaks with the seasoning and a little olive oil
Since I hate to fry stuff, I just baked the lamb in a dark colored baking dish until cooked

Day 4, Week 5

Inspired by this

You know, I was starting to run out of ideas, so I had to resort to cooking sites. This meal was really simple and very, very tasty! I recommend you try either the official version or my version.

Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (cut into pieces)
paprika
cilantro

onions
garlic
curry

Guidelines:

In a saucepan, heat up a little oil and saute the chopped onions and crushed garlic
Season the chicken with a generous sprinkling of paprika, 1 tbsp of curry, and cilantro, salt, pepper to taste
Add the chicken into the pot and mix well

Cook chicken on medium heat, adding water when required, until the meat is cooked

Served with fried rice and fresh salad. The fried rice was made with carrots, broccoli, red peppers, cilantro… all chopped into tiny pieces and cooked in sesame oil. Kids LOVED the meal, and actually finished it!!! smile
