Lifetime Recipes Made Easy
My daughter’s friend, Amanda loves my chewy coconut magic bars so every time there is a party or celebration I make them for her as I know it means a lot. Last night Amanda’s mom was hosting the soccer dinner party for the girls and I realized I didn’t make the magic bars for her so I created this recipe for a flourless coconut cookie with chocolate chips for them.

So I was not exposed to anything Jewish until I was in my 20’s as I worked with a group of commercial real estate brokers and every Jewish holiday the offices were empty as everyone had dinner parties to attend. I never asked a lot of questions about the holidays back then as I always appreciated the quiet office and some rest time.

MmmmmmMMMMmmmmMMMMm….that’s about all I can say when it comes to roasting vegetables (although a great bbq works for vegetables as well), especially in the winter. If you have ever eaten at my house, you would know that I love to roast vegetables, I do it all year long. In the summer I do a lot of bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant and onions, in the fall I do all the rooted vegetables and in the winter I do broccoli, cauliflower and green beans.

So I know it doesn’t sound healthy to be making a “fried chicken breast”, especially in the beginning of the year when everyone is trying to lose weight but I just had to make this chicken as I was craving it! And by the way, I didn’t do a deep fry, I only used enough oil to get a nice crispy coating.
During the holidays, I was introduced to a seasoning flour…I had never heard of a seasoning flour before and was quite taken by it. It’s so funny how many time you can go down an aisle of the market and never see see something and then you are introduced to it and you see it everywhere, right? This is my new crazy obsession! I have tried two different brands and I have to say I liked this one better then the other one, it’s called “Dixie Fry” and it’s super easy to use in creating amazing meals. I like the fact that it has two packets in it, the flavor was great and it gave a nice “fried” texture as well.
Like everyone else, I want to lose weight, especially in the beginning of the year. To help with that is adding a little spice to your everyday life, from what I read, the spice helps in you craving food so you tend to eat less. Don’t quote me on that but I went for it with this recipe. This is what I used for my spice but remember this is just a option not a requirement, I used Sriracha (you can find it in most markets and it’s my favorite go-to for spice)
I basically put my chicken in a bowl and I coated it with some buttermilk and spice (you can skip this step and just follow the instructions on the box, I think they have instructions or email me if you want other options)
and I mixed it all well until it all coated
Here is how the box looks for the Dixie Fry Mix
I put 1 envelope in a shallow pan
I coated each piece of chicken, removing it directly from the buttermilk into the pan
and then I put a frying pan on the stove with some oil, got the oil hot and added my chicken
I cooked them until they were nice and golden on one side then I’d flip them
and cooked until they were completely cooked through…omg YUM!
For us, we always squirt a little lemon on our fried chicken it just makes it all taste amazing!!! This is a super easy dish and I will share that I won’t be creating my own mixes, unless I have to, as I really, really, really LOVE this product!

WOW…there is so much to say about my friend Susan but I want to first start off and say what an amazing cookie she introduced to me! This version of the thumbprint cookie came from her mom and she’s been making them for as long as she could remember. We added both raspberry jam and apricot jam and they were both equally amazing!!!!

What’s a “spritz cookie” or “almond cookie” I bet that’s what you are thinking right about now as I never knew the name of this type of a cookie, I always thought it was called a “Jewish cookie” but really that’s not a name for a cookie now is it. I say a Jewish cookie because when I go to the deli’s out here (most of which are Jewish), they always have these cookies in the display case. And while we have great Italian deli’s most don’t serve cookies.

I don’t know about you but I’m sooooooo behind with Christmas and yet I feel like I started long ago, so I’m thinking, how does that happen?

So here is my story, a long time ago…I NEVER EVER drank coffee, what was wrong with me back then, right? Then I moved up to Oregon where just about everyone had a cup of coffee in their hand at all times. Sure enough, I got hooked on mochas (I even named a dog mocha) but really even then I never made coffee, I just bought coffee so I really never understood coffee like I do today.

Everyone knows I love granola, I’ve basically have made the same granola for as long as I can remember. Then I try new granola recipes and end up loving them as well, I’ve posted some my favorites granola with cranberries, granola with dried fruit, apple pie granola and now my new favorite from “Model Bakery” cookbook, my granola with nuts and fruit. …
I just love banana in anything! There I said it, when I grew up my mother had a recipe I made all the time, it was a basic banana chip cookie and I swear I could bake the banana chip recipe to memory back then. I then became obsessed with banana bread and then I had to find the perfect banana bread that didn’t have as much oil. Then I experimented with nuts, I still believe that pecans bring out the best flavors in bananas. I’ve begun my search for banana cake from scratch….here is one of my first of many recipes to come.
