Ummm, I am getting hungry again just looking at these babies!

5-7 boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 cups flour

1 T. salt

1 t. pepper

1 t. cayenne pepper (these are not spicy at all with this in it)

1 t. paprika

1 T. garlic powder

1 T. onion powder

1 T. Tony's Creole Cajun Seasoning

1 t. season salt

1 t. seasoned meat tenderizer

3 cups milk

3 eggs

Oil for frying- heat to 350 degrees in dutch oven or electric skillet.

1. Trim off any fat and cube your chicken into bite size chunks.

2. Mix all dry ingredients into a large bowl.

3. Place milk and eggs into another large bowl.

4. Dredge chicken in egg wash.

5. Flour chicken.

6. Re-dredge in egg wash.

7. Flour chicken again.

8. Fry for 5-7 minutes.

This was so simple!

The whole process took me about 40 minutes from start to finish!

Not to shabby!

A little tip on what I used for oil- and I can see the cringes now....

I used lard and bacon grease that I saved....yes, I know. 

I can see the faces!! 

But it was so yummy!!!!

I never said this was a "light" meal, or healthy...

ENJOY!!!

Have you ever purchased an amazing item to find that the price tag sticker is leaving behind all that nasty residue? 

ANNOYING!!

The Best Iced Coffee Recipe Ever

It never fails that when I am half way through doing something a light bulb goes off in my head and screams "where is your camera, this is a blog post!"

So, I grabbed my camera and took the photos that I could, with what I had left of this project.

DUH!!!

To let you know, I am an iced coffee fiend!! I have tried many homemade recipes just to pour them down the drain and commit to just biting the bullet and buying them from a real barista.

UNTIL.....dum, dum, dum....I found this amazing recipe adapted from 'The Pioneer Woman'.

Let me just warn you, this is a very time consuming recipe, but oh so worth it!!



Get you a dark roast or espresso blend. The darker the better!!

Dump the whole package into a gallon tea container, then fill with water covering all the grounds. This is what is called a cold brew method. Let this sit in the fridge for 12-24 hours. I let mine sit for 24.

The next step is the time consuming part!

You need to strain the grounds out!


Yeah, like I said I was about done when I thought...blog post!!

Re-batching is reusing old soap slivers or grating pure soap flakes. I use Ivory soap, this is the closest thing to pure soap you can find on the market next to castile soap.

Get a cheese grater and shred your soap. You can use anything that you would use in regular soap making. You can add essential oils, fragrance oils, flower petals, ground oatmeal, nuts...whatever! The possibilities are limitless.

You can add these to premade molds, or create your own molds. A cardboard box, a match box or anything like this will work too, and its FREE!!!

 After you mold them let them sit for a few days to dry and pop them out and enjoy!!

Here is a good recipe you can try
