Journey from stovetop to table

Artichoke, stir fry Alaskan fresh veggies ready to be plated, and easy fried chicken.









 A fast easy dinner that can be cooked in 30minutes.

Boneless chicken breast (2 large whole one) slice lengthwise in half to make 4 slices.  Take 1 cup corn flakes, 1/2 Italian bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper Toss in large plastic food saver bag - with rolling pin mashed corn flakes until size of bread crumbs - shake bag to mix all.  Beat one egg with 2 tablespoons cold water in bowl ~ take chicken slices drag in egg mixture turning over 3 to 4 times per slice.  Take each slice place in crumb bag and shake until coated.  Place on a cookie sheet lined with foil sprayed with cooking spray. Bake in preheated oven of 425 degrees.  Cook for 25 to 30 minutes (or until done).

Cleaned artichoke by taking off bottom layer of leaves, cut stem off at base DON'T throw away!  Learned from Alton on TLC Food Network that the second tastiest part of the artichoke after the heart ~ is also the stem! Cut tips off leaves, place stem and whole artichoke in 2 quart cooking pot, cover artichoke with water up to 2/3th's, add two slices of butter, season with salt and pepper and garlic. Cover with lid then, Bring water to boil and cook 20 minutes total; (at every five minute mark turn artichoke upside down so steam also cooks the inside). Serve with Pat's dipping sauce.


Clean all veggies first.  Take one yellow sweet pepper, one white onion, and one Portabella mushroom cut into large diced pieces, chopped 12 stalks of asparagus into 3rd's or 4th's depending on size and thickness of stalks.  Stir fry in medium hot frying pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil when chicken has 5 minutes left for cooking. 

Plate all and serve up to 4 guests.

Serve with your favorite beverage.

How does one Prepare for the Emmy's

Now that I've settled down from the news that Covered in Chocolate was a shop selected to provide products for the 2009 Emmy Awards Gifting Suites I need to choose what sweet little treats will be going. http://www.emergingmagazine.com/#/gift-suite-sponsors/4534879543 Check them out! Unfortunately my Truffles have a short shelf life because they have dairy products in them requiring being kept chilled, so are out of the running...well maybe not... the Double Mocha Hold the Latte is non dairy so it could go - lots of different ways to dress it up also, change the flavors Oh my I think I just hit on something! Several of the cookies are delightful and unusual. A big surprise for those with a palette desiring something different. Two of my cupcakes are edge breaking with a taste on the wild side. I also do dipped apples with all kinds of wonderful sweet treats covering them to enhance the mild taste of the apples. Let me tell you - it's very hard to decide what shall be in the gift packages I'm sending. I have my own favorites for when I crave sweets; should I send those or what I think others will like?
Don't forget starting September 1, I be doing a drawing for a sweet treat to go out to the lucky winner! Sign up now to be included in that drawing! All you have to do is become one of my followers!!
