I'm not in front of my recipe book so doing this by memory so if anyone is in front of cooking with color (esti kafra) please correct me!

Marinate chicken cutlets in BBQ sauce (it says to refridgerate overnight or a few hours. I have done it without any marinating).
Coat in Bread crumbs (I have used corn flake crumbs successfully)

--now the recipe says to Fry them in olive oil, OR bake them as follows. I always baked them and they are realy good!

Spread them on a baking sheet that has been shmeared with a little bit of olive oil. (I'm sure canola is fine).

Saute in a pan- red pepper, onions and sliced mushrooms (it says portobella I used regular canned sliced).- heat olive oil, add onions, when transulent add peppers and then mushrooms, at then end add some garlic and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken cutlets and bake together on 375' for 20-25 minutes.

If you are frying the cutlets then just pour the veggies sauce over before serving.

This comes out very moist and really yummy, almost like a suprise taste cuz the bbq sauce is under the breading and the veggies. I found that it was totaly delicious baked and did not need the frying.

Skippy!!

Spicy greenbeans:

It's not really a recipe. I take fresh greenbeans, put them in a sauce pan with a little pam or oil. I add schug-hot red peppers, (if you don't have that you can do chilli pepper, or sezchuan sauce). Add some minced garlic ( I like fresh, but powder is fine), a little salt if you want.

Then I just stir fry them in the sauce pan for a few minutes.

thats it. easy and delicious!

Sure thing! It's chinese style:

I forgot how many chicken breasts this recipe calls for, so I guess just wing it...

Saute in a pot:

4 different colored peppers, cut into chunks
1 onion, chunked
1 carrot, chunked (I skipped this)

At the end of sauteeing, add 1 can of pinapple chunks. You want the veggies to be slightly crunchy.

Add to the pot:

1 Tbsp. cornstarch dissolved in 1/2 c. water
6 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
4 Tbsp. ketchup
1 T. sherry (I skipped this)
2 Tbsp. vinegar

Stir and simmer until boiling.

Cut your chicken into cubes and prepare the following batter:

2 tsp. baking powder
1 c. cold water
1 c. flour
6 Tbsp. oil
1 tsp. sherry (I skipped this)

Coat the nuggets and fry in hot oil.

Serve chicken over rice and pour the sauce over everything. YUUUUUUUMMMM!!!

*I skipped the sherry b/c I didn't have. I did not notice any difference in taste btw my favorite Chinise takeout sweet and sour chicken and this recipe w/o sherry...

*I usually double the veggies and sauce and freeze 1/2 of it for a different time b/c this is time consuming recipe...but it is so darn good! This way, for a quick(er) supper, I stick rice in the oven, do the chicken thing with the batter, and have the ready made sauce.

Do you think it will be good without the pineapple?

I personally think that the pineapple is one of the main ingredients that make this dish so good. I'm sure it will taste good without it, but I wouldn't leave it out by choice.

Also, the buffalo sauce recipe is:

1/3 c. Franks Red Hot
1/2 c. white sugar
1/2 c. dark brown sugar
1/4 c. honey

Mix it in a bot and bring to a boil. Simmer for another 10 minutes.

Thanks, I would love to try it with pineapples but dh doesnt like it Sad

The pinwheel steaks aren't really a recipe. It's basically just steaks that I buy from the butcher- skirt steaks rolled up onto skewers so that they look like pinwheels/lollypops. (They come assembled like that in the package.) They're really salty and yummy! I fry them on a med-high heat until they're brown and still a little bit pink on the inside, and then finish them off on the grill.

The zucchini alfredo is from the same Binah supplement that the avocado dressing salad came from. LOL

Zucchini Alfredo

10 zucchinis, peeled
salt
1/4 c. butter
3 cloves garlic, sliced

8 oz. cream cheese (hard), cubed and softened
3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
black pepper
nutmeg

Slice zucchini into thin strips using a julienne peeler. Place the zucchini in a colander and toss with 2 t. salt. Let sit for a half hour, then rinse well and drain. Melt the butter in a medium sized pan and add garlic, then quickly add zucchini. Saute until zucchini is tender (5-8 min). Drain zucchini and set aside. Is a separate pot, combine milk, cream cheese, pepper and nutmeg. When the milk begins to boil, mix the ingredients with a whisk. Keep stirring until smooth. Add the drained zucchini and cook 2-4 more minutes. Serve with parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.

*I use a fraction of the recipe for the four of us!
