My apologies again for the lack of posting lately, but finals and the school year are over and there are two months ahead waiting to be filled with food! This Summer I have a lot of food-related projects to share with you! I have compiled some exciting cookbooks including how to's for macarons, new meat entrées, and summer salads! The first project I have undertaken is cooking dinners for my family! This corresponds with my wanting to make money for travel this Summer and my mom offered $20 per meal for four people.
Last night, I made Barefoot Contessa's Parmesan Chicken and a side salad with her Lemon Vinaigrette.
Basically, the recipe is just chicken breasts which you pound with a meat mallet to thin and then bread with flour, egg, and I chose to make homemade breadcrumbs. They were great, but I was not as big a fan of the salad dressing. It was fine but I much prefer my dad's dijonaise, or dijon mustard dressing. I then followed it with big chocolate chip cookies which I used to make homemade vanilla ice cream sandwiches! All of these recipes are easily accessible in a Barefoot Contessa cookbook, or, for the cookies, on a nestle chocolate chip's package. They are also on foodnetwork.com if you don't have Ina Garten's Family Style cookbook.
