This was good! I used panko breadcrumbs and a mix of white and yellow cornmeal. We felt it needed something more though. Next time I will definitely use more chili powder and paprika as well as look to add something else - maybe some ginger or cinnamon for some extra oomph. -
This was pretty good, though the breading wasn't quite what I was suspecting. Dh really liked this one! -
I made this recipe and it has to be the best Oven Fried Chicken I have had. I have passed the recipe on to friends at work as they say they will try it. The chicken is just as great cold the next day. Marc Epstein

I am a homeschooling mother of 8. We have chickens, goats and emus, as well as a year round veggie garden.
My children help me cook most of the time, so I tend to look for recipes that are kid friendly and don't take a ton of time to prep.
We are a mostly Feingold/Organic family and my main focus is good for you foods, but easy to make with a flair or twist.
I experiment a lot with known recipes and I have come up with some amazing ones over the years and love to share with others.
My ultimate cake right now is the german chocolate carob cake. My goal in life was to find the perfect sticky toffee pudding recipe. I have now found it in Carol's Sticky Toffee Pudding. This is the most amazing dessert (next to my carob cake) I've ever tasted.
