Thanks Mike,
I'll give them a try. Your recipes sound good.
Keep them coming.
DTS

ps...try that pot roast with 1/2 bottle of either pepsi or coke instead of water. You might like it.

How about some chicken parmesian?

Ingredients:

chicken breast (the amount can vary, and some like to use a mallet to flatten out the chicken before cooking[put it between some wax paper if you go this route!!--try both ways for preferred taste)

-graded parmesian cheese

-breadcrumbs(seasoned or unseasoned)

-tomato sauce

--pasta noodles

--mozarella cheese

--1 egg



Baking:


A) set oven to 350 degrees

1) mix the breadcrumbs with some parmesian cheese in a mixing bowl.

2) scramble 1 egg in a second bowl.

3) rinse chicken (and prepare further if desired--see above)

4) bread chicken in breadcrumbs (after an egg coating)

5) brown chicken in a frying pan ( on medium heat, usually no more than 1-2 minutes per side)

6) place chicken in a baking dish (i like to put a 1/4 inch layer of sauce in the dish before putting the chicken in)... then add additional sauce to desired amount --usually semi-submerging the chicken, but make sure you don't over flow it!!!!)

**-I also mix in a little mozarella cheese in the sauce before cooking.

7) place chicken in preheated oven for 30 minutes COVERED

8) after 30 minutes, remove cover and add mozarella cheese to cover chicken and some sauce (again to your personal preference)

9) bake uncovered for another 10 minutes (cheese should be fully melted and slightly browned)




PASTA:

1) choose pasta of your choice (regular spaghetti works just fine).

2) boil water with about 10 minutes left of COVERED baking.. I add a little salt for taste and olive oil.

3) boil pasta at about the same time your remove the cover for your chicken.

4) both pasta and chicken should be done at about the same time..Enjoy!

DTS,

I'll try this recipe real soon. Today is opening day of Buck season
here in Pennsylvania (It's seems to be national holiday in this state), I didn't go hunting this year, but a couple of mybuddies tagged a buck. They usually give me a couple of roast, steaks, jerky, and pepperoni after there processed. Hope it's as good as the recipe sounds.

Saucon,
I hope you like it.
Here's one from the "Soul Food Cookbook". besides pork, it works with venison chops too.

Kenya's Smothered Pork Chops & Gravy


Ingredients:

1 package of pork chops
1/2 onion (chopped)
seasoned salt
pepper
2 cups flour
2 cups vegetable oil

Instructions:

Lightly salt and pepper chops and set aside.
Place flour in large bowl and lightly salt and pepper.
Coat the chops with the seasoned flour and set aside.
In large skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil, until it sizzles when pinch of flour is added (about 5 or so minutes).
Add enough pork chops to fill, but not over fill pan.
Fry until brown on one side.
Then, turn and repeat frying until brown on other side.
Remove pork chops and all but about 3 teaspoons of oil (try to keep in pieces of the crust from frying).
Add the chopped onions to the oil.
Add about 5 teaspoons of the seasoned flour to pan.
Over reduced heat, brown the flour in the left-over oil and crust.
Add about a cup of water. Bring to boil.
Then, put fried chops back into pan with browned flour and water mixture, reduce and simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, turning chops occasionally.
Let stand 10 minutes and serve.

I'll keep with the dessert theme. Give these "dream date" bars a try.
Worth the time.

Oatmeal Dream Dates


8 oz Pitted dates, coarsley
.. chopped
1 1/2 c Orange juice
2 1/2 c All purpose flour
1 1/2 c Firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 ts Salt; optional
1 1/2 c Butter; chilled
2 c Oats; quick or regular,
.. uncooked
1 1/2 c Flaked coconut; divided
1 c Chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium saucepan, combine dates and orange
juice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer 15-20
minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat; cool slightly.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt.
Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in
oats, 1 cup coconut and muts; mix well. Reserve 4
cups mixture for topping; set aside.

Press remaining mixture onto bottom of an
ungreased 9x13x2" baking pan. Spread date mixture
evenly over crust to within 1/4" of edge. Sprinkle
with reserved oat mixture, then 1/2 cup coconut,
patting gently. Bake 35-40 minutes or until light
golden. Cool completely; cut into bars.

Makes 24 bars.
