Fried Pickles (Southern Living)
Fried Pickles (Southern Living)
Fried pickles have always been a favorite of mine! When I mention them to some people, they reply with "EWWWWW!!!" I guess they're not for everyone, but most people that have tried them at my house are fast fans. Try this recipe for yourself, and let me know what you think!
Yield: Makes 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients:
2 (16-oz.) jars dill pickle sandwich slices, drained **I like to use the slices instead of the spears, but many restaurants serve the spears.***
1 large egg
1 (12-oz.) can beer **quality is not as important here as it is when making beer bread, etc**
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil
And, it's nice to have some Ranch Dressing to dip them in! YUM!
Directions:
1. Pat pickles dry with paper towels.
2. Whisk together egg and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; add 1 1/2 cups flour, and whisk until smooth.
3. Pour oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches into a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven; heat over medium-high heat to 375°.
4. Dip pickle slices into batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Fry pickles, in batches, 3 to 4 minutes or until golden. Drain and pat dry on paper towels; serve immediately with Ranch Dressing.

Anna's Chicken Marsala
Anna's Chicken Marsala
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Ready In: 30 Minutes
Servings: 5
Ingredients:
Marsala Sauce:
1/4 cup Marsala Cooking Wine
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
5 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup butter, chilled
salt and pepper to taste
Chicken and Pasta:
1/2 pound dry ziti
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves -
cut into 1/2 inch strips
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces bacon
6 ounces mushrooms, sliced (optional)
6 ounces artichoke hearts, drained and
halved
chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Directions:
1. To make the sauce, pour the wine and lemon juice into a saucepan over medium heat. Cook at a low boil until the liquid is reduced by 1/3. Stir in cream, and simmer until it thickens. Gradually add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time to the sauce, stirring until completely incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, and keep warm.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
3. To make the chicken, heat oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. In a bowl, stir together flour, salt, and pepper. Lightly coat chicken with flour mixture. Without crowding, carefully place chicken in hot oil. (If necessary, cook in batches.) Fry until cooked through and golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken to paper towels. Stir the bacon, mushrooms, artichokes, and capers into the oil; cook until the mushrooms are soft.
4. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-size strips, and return them to the skillet. Stir half of the lemon butter sauce into the chicken mixture.
5. To serve, place pasta in a large bowl. Stir the chicken mixture into the pasta. Taste, and adjust seasonings. Stir in additional marsala sauce as desired. Toss well, and garnish with parsley.
****NOTE: Often, I do not bread the chicken. I like to cook the chicken in 1 tsp of etra virgin olive oil to cut some of the calories out. You can also use whole wheat pasta!****
Chocolate Peanut Butter Healthy Ribbon Loaf
Chocolate Peanut Butter Healthy Ribbon Loaf
From Taste of Home's Healthy Cooking Magazine. Submitted by Sharon Giljum of San Diego, CA.
"With chocolate, bananas, and peanut butter, this bread has it all. At less than 275 calories per slice, it's perfect for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon snack."
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium)
1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup peanut butter chip
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Directions
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the bananas, yogurt, and vanilla. Combine the flours, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; gradually beat into the butter mixture. Stir in peanut butter chips.
Remove 1 cup batter to a small bowl; stir in chocolate until well blended. Pour half of remaining batter into a 9x5 inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray; top with half of the chocolate batter. Repeat layers. Cut through batter with a knife to swirl.

**** NOTE: I like to change these up a bit. Sometimes I don't make them "ribboned" at all. Sometimes I will add chocolate chips instead of melted chocolate, and pour the batter in mini muffin pans. Very often, I will cut the banana amount in half, and substitute pureed carrot for the rest! The kids have no idea, and EVERYONE loves them!****
