JBeany...thanks..ham is great as long as it's not squealing   

Sure G-Ma

INGREDIENTS
oil, for greasing pan
8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 (8 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
 
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a large, shallow baking dish with oil.
Butterfly each breast by slicing in half horizontally through the center, cutting almost but not completely through. I pounded it out thinner. Place one slice each of Cheddar and cream cheese in the center of each breast. Close again as if placing between the pages of a book. Set aside.
Pour milk into a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Romano cheese. Carefully dip each breast first in milk, then in breadcrumb mixture, patting lightly to firmly coat. Place breasts side by side in a single layer in pre-oiled baking dish, tucking edges under to seal.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in lemon juice and garlic, and drizzle evenly over chicken. Season breasts with garlic salt and paprika, if using.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until no longer pink in center and juices run clear.

I cooked this -this past weekend, it was excellent! I think I overcooked it a tad, but since my husband passed I keep burning things-(wtf - I have always been such a good cook!!) I found it to be easy to prepare, and we would cook it again. I am always happy to find things the kids will eat without complaints! Thankyou for this recipe WW!

Vietnamese cold chicken salad rolls and Thai mango salad with my own dry roasted (no salt, no oil) cashews.  The rolls turned out a bit bigger than usual because I had too many filling items.  (Poached chicken, slivered red peppers, bean sprouts, thin rice vermicelli, grated marinated carrots, fresh cilantro).
Not pictured is the peanut/hoisin/chili sauce dip.

Monrein, that looks delicious!

I am making Pepper Steak for Bubba and banana pudding - where I bake it and put meringue on the top -
two of his favorites

MandaMe - both recipes are simple and easy and it looks like you slaved for hours   ha ha ha

he is home for a couple of weeks and then it is back to A&M for football and summer school where he is taking a Physics class that is five days a week for the entire summer school - he planned to take English also but with all the required reading - he decided to wait
- football will eat his lunch -- the hours are unbelievable

[dwcrawford]

Twirl.... See my New Avitar.....

[twirl]

YES

and I am avoiding it, ignoring it, what would be great -- the crawfish with guns in his claws -
there was a restaurant on South Main with that -- Gaido's or something like that --


I was a Longhorn - but A&M wanted Bubba -- he is 6ft 4 inches and 280 lbs and he was too little for UT and UH

so I gave birth to an Aggie ----- I would have never thought

I still like you ---- ha ha

[dwcrawford]

I remember Gaidos....

I live in Casper Wyoming for a year or so.  There was a famous bar downtown who's motto was " show your gun at the door.  If you don't have one we'll issue you one."

what did you eat for supper or lunch or brunch or anything on your 23rd birthday -
what kind of cake -
and did the pickle pops really have little pieces of pickles in them -
twirl

and what presents did you get

[MIbarra]

I had Le Madeline's with a very good friend. I had a petite cesar salad, a petite pasta salad, and a not so petite piece of tiramisu. Plus 3 glasses of their ice tea. Oops.. exceeded my fluid limit I'm sure and definitely my carb limit.

[twirl]

do you have a fluid restriction with a transplant 

[MIbarra]

Yeah, I think I'm the only one that could have managed that!

Last time I went to the neph, my sodium was low. He told me I was drowning myself. Slow down. So, I do... before blood work.   

I have been trying not to drink so much. The watermelon this time of year gets me though!

[twirl]

what is your limit and I do not count watermelon     

[monrein]

I don't have any fluid restrictions with transplant.  I try to keep drinking throughout the day but I limit my fluids ,besides water, to 2 coffees maximum, usually just one and 2 cups of tea (if I'm with my family who drink a lot of tea.)  I don't drink sodas because I don't need the sugar or the aspartame and I do drink a  glass of OJ with breakfast.  I try to carry my stainless steel water bottle with me everywhere and fill it up regularly.

does buttermilk taste like ranch dressing -

[dwcrawford]

no, but ranch dressing tastes a little like  buttermilk.

[dwcrawford]

Salmon and a green salad. 

Anything go with it?

[monrein]

Do you like asparagus?  A nice way to cook it is to rub it with olive oil and black pepper, roast in a single layer in the oven or toaster oven, watch closely and turn once then right near the end sprinkle with a little freshly grated parmesan cheese.  (Not much though because of the salt....a quarter teaspoon on 6-8 spears of asparagus gives nice flavour.

I also like braised red cabbage, cooked with black pepper, balsamic vinegar and a touch of sugar.

[twirl]

how about a beer
tartar sauce
hush puppies
catsup
cole slaw
fries
 

[dwcrawford]

I love asparagus.  One of the few vegetables I really like.  I'll try it...gotta go to the groucery though.  I have a really great piece of parmesean in the fridge.  Was wondering if I could have it or not -- although I'm ok or low on salt, pot and phos. all so it should be fine.

Don't mind cabbage either  but I want asparagus tonight.
