Southern Fried Frog Legs – Delicious!

Southern Fried Frog Legs, I know, probably only happens in Louisiana. This reminded me of making fried chicken. They have the texture of chicken, too…. but they taste like a cross between a chicken and a tuna.

The curiosity is now out of the way. They’re good, but they ain’t lobster!

Low Carb Taco Shells – Quick and Easy

I got this Low Carb Taco Shells recipe from a friend when I started on the South Beach Diet, and this has helped satisfy my cravings for Mexican food.

Wonderful. I have my Mexican fix back.

These make great taco shells or even good for a sandwich if you have a wheat and gluten food allergy. A great alternative.

Make sure you have lots of napkins, the shell is quite greasy, of course.

he perfect taco shell for low-carb or wheat allergy diets!

Course: Sandwiches
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Low Carb Taco Shells
Servings: 1
Calories: 95 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup cheddar cheese
  • parchment paper
Instructions
  1. Place 1/3 cup of cheese in thin layer on parchment paper.
  2. Microwave on high for one minute, or until cheese is bubbly. Word of advice - you have to pretty much burn the cheese to get it to a crunchy consistency, otherwise it will just be melted gooey cheese.
  3. While the cheese is still flexible with parchment paper still attached, bend the cheese over a round object to give it a taco shell shape.
  4. The smaller in diameter the object is, the closer to a normal taco shell shape you will have.
  5. Let the cheese cool while around the object.
  6. When it has cooled, peel it from the parchment paper.

Use this to make tacos with normal fillings such as taco seasoned meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream, or you can also make a smaller version of these shells to serve as low carb chips.

Enjoy!

Baked Chicken Breasts – Easy And Healthy

These Baked Chicken Breasts are so easy and tasty. After 30 minutes in my oven, the chicken comes out moist and very flavorful. Great diet recipe!

 

No skin and boneless, yummy!

Boneless skinless chicken breasts are about the most healthy meat protein you can eat.

But when the skin and bone are not present breasts can be somewhat bland. However, just the addition of a few spices and a good cooking technique will really perk up a dish.

That’s the case with this recipe. Not only is it healthy but it’s quick and easy and just downright good!

Very good for a healthy weeknight meal.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Buttermilk-Honey Fried Chicken Fingers
Servings: 6
Calories: 325 kcal
Ingredients
  • 4 teaspoons honey
  • salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • flavoring of choice (see below)
  • 1 1/3 cups buttermilk
  • 2 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves each cut crosswise into 8 to 9 strips (about 6 large)
  • 1 quart canola oil
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
Classic Flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Maryland-Style Flavoring
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
Curry Flavoring
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
Cumin Flavoring
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl or shallow baking dish, mix the honey, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and flavoring of choice into the buttermilk. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
  2. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over high heat until it reaches 375 degrees.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the flour and 1 tablespoon salt in a doubled paper bag (I've also used a large Ziploc bag). Drop about 8 chicken strips into the flour, close the bag, and shake to coat the chicken. Place the chicken pieces on a wire rack set over a baking sheet (or newspaper for easy cleanup). Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  4. Working in 4 batches, drop the chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, turning if necessary to ensure even browning, about 3 minutes.
