Day 8 - Breakfast - Eggs and Dinner - Chicken

Well today was a productive day, Gotti is much better and almost out of critical care! YAY! OK so now to cooking for the day. For Breakfast I decided to make eggs with basil, sausage and a bagel with strawberry jam and butter. Nothing to fancy but just something a little different and delicious.


Now for dinner, I had some nice cut chicken breasts. So I decided to make chicken cutlets, mashed red potatoes, and corn. Nothing fancy, kind of a normal old fashion meal in a way. But basic, delicious, easy, and ever soo yummy! What else is there to say about a chicken cutlet?? Well I didnt fry them, for one. I try not to fry anything if I can help it. I like the way baked taste and I try to avoid all of the oil when I can. Some things need to be fried but chicken cutlets taste great when they are baked. Normally I bread with panko but didn't have any left so just used regular bread crumbs and added in some extra seasonings, such as, garlic powder, paprika, lemon herb, italian seasoning, parsley, and a few more. Just something to give it a slight drop of extra flavor, nothing to powerful, nothing that really stands out when you are eating it, just something small to make each bite a little better. I just mixed it into the bread crumbs and started from there. I used egg to moisten the chicken before breading it, normally I would use ranch dressing, or barbeque sauce, something different to give some extra flavor to the chicken while it is cooking, but since I was spicing the bread crumbs I didnt want to go overboard. Came out delicious!!


Corn was cooked in some butter, salt and sugar. Nothing fancy there. It was a great dinner, now time to take care of the puppy. Not sure what is on the menu for tomorrow yet. We shall see! Have a great day/night!
