Classic Southern Dinner*


Fried chicken in the W house?! Ha, fat chance! Nope, just a fabulously Southern feeling dinner for (faux) fried chicken, (extra lightened) sweet potato casserole, and garlic green beans! Delish!

Fooled you for a sec, huh?


In the tradition of health-i-fying foods in our house, we made oven 'fried' chicken with ground up Fiber One cereal. Apparently I'm the last person in the world to learn about F1 cereal and using for everything except just eating it. (Because, really, who just eats cereal with milk anymore? Oh, wait, I do.) But anyway, so you grind up the cereal, add your spices and whatnot, dip the chicken in egg substitute, and coat in that, then bake! Genius. And crunchy outside, good texture! I think this one will be a keeper after some more spice experimentation with it. It actually turned out so well that we're eating the leftovers tonight, rather than it meeting the fate of some of my other culinary experiments... aka ending up binned.

Nope, not even any for the Gizmo - no matter how pretty she sits!


The sweet potato casserole was good enough to go on my holiday menu (yes, I'm already planning and experimenting to surpass last year's feast) and I might even throw the recipe up here tomorrow!
