Whatcha eatin'?


From Hungry Girl.com- a yummy adaptation of the classic chicken finger recipe inspired by the version that Planet Hollywood serves up.

Cap'n Crunchy Chicken



Ingredients:8 oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast tenders
1/2 cup Cap'n Crunch cereal (original)
1/4 cup
Fiber One bran cereal (original)
3 tbsp. fat-free liquid egg substitute (like
Egg Beaters Original)
2 tbsp.
Best Foods/Hellmann's Dijonnaise
2 tbsp. honey mustard (actual mustard, not dressing)
1/8 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
dash salt
dash black pepper

Directions:

Place Fiber One in a blender or food processor, and grind to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Set aside.

Put Cap'n Crunch in a sealable plastic bag and seal. Using a rolling pin or a can, coarsely crush cereal through the bag. In a wide bowl, combine Fiber One crumbs, crushed Cap'n Crunch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Place chicken tenders in a separate medium bowl. Cover chicken with egg substitute, and flip chicken to coat. Shake off any excess egg substitute, and then coat chicken in the cereal mixture.

Bring a large pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove. Place coated chicken pieces gently into the pan, spacing them out as much as possible. Cook for 5 minutes, and then carefully flip pieces over. Cook for about 4 additional minutes, until chicken is cooked through.

Combine the Dijonnaise and honey mustard in a small dish, and mix well for a tasty dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Movie Night!




One of my favorite summer activities is the Arts Council's Movies on the Green at the Arts Depot in downtown Gainesville.

Movies begin at dusk on a 35 foot inflatable screen. The gates open at 7:30 pm so that you and your family can enjoy a host of fun activities before the movie including face painting, magicians, art stations and a jump house. There are also food vendors selling everything from hot dogs and pizza to popcorn and ice cream.Bring your quilts, lawn chairs, picnics and frisbees out to enjoy an evening under the stars.


This summer's movies include  "16-Love" (July 13) starring Gainesville's own Chandler Massey (who was recently awarded a Daytime Emmy for his work on "Days of Our Lives")  and "The Lorax." (August 24th).

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of that iconic film, "Dirty Dancing", Skinny Cow Ice Cream is giving girlfriends across the country a reason and opportunity to reconnect with their best friends, slip on their dancing shoes and enjoy themselves. A partnership between the Skinny Cow brand and "Dirty Dancing" has created the "Dirty Dancing" tour.

The tour kicked-off on May 22 in New York City. Throughout the summer, in select cities across the country, fans will have the chance to enjoy exclusive screenings of the film, participate in movie trivia, have the opportunity to win door prizes and indulge in Skinny Cow treats. Think red carpets and swag bags.

To participate, log on to Facebook.com/TheSkinnyCowUS and register to have an amazing time at a special screening party of the celebrated film. Sign up will open for each city three weeks prior to the event date. The Atlanta tour stop is July 17-19. Free tickets will be available beginning June 26th.

Let's ALL go!


Whatcha Eatin'?


Evelyn Asher sent us this recipe for roasted chickpeas (garbanzo beans.) It is simple and results in a crunchy snack that will remind you of nuts.

Except, these aren't nuts - they are beans! They are filling, healthy and inexpensive. Just like roasting vegetables, you simply add some olive oil, flavors, and cook at a high temperature.

Click here to give it a try. Thanks, Evelyn!
