I love weddings! Yesterday, I attended the wedding of a good friend of A's.
 |
Dress: H&M (old), Cardigan: Banana Republic (old), Shoes: Payless (old) |
It unfortunately started to rain and snow last night (which is ironic because the couple actually resides in Alaska), so I decided to add tights, a cardigan, and wear my platform suede heels from Payless instead of my Christian Louboutins to avoid getting them dirty. I'm looking forward to attending more weddings hopefully in warmer weather, now that all my friends are near that stage of their lives. :)
And to share a nice cold weather recipe,
here's the first thing I ever made that A really likes and is
healthier than the restaurant kind:
BRIETTA'S BONELESS BUFFALO CHICKEN RECIPE |
Blue-cheese dressing: |
2/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream |
2 tablespoon light mayonnaise |
2 tablespoon cider vinegar |
6 tablespoon crumbled blue cheese |
|
Chicken: |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs |
2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
2 teaspoon salt |
2 egg whites |
6 tablespoon hot red pepper sauce (such as Frank's o Tabasco) |
1 1/2 lb boneless chicken tenders, cut up |
2 tablespoon canola oil |
2 teaspoon unsalted butter |
|
Directions: |
1. In a small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients; set aside. |
2.
In a shallow dish, combine flour, breadcrumbs, cayenne, and salt. In a
separate bowl, beat egg whites and 1 tbsp of the red pepper sauce. |
3. Dip chicken tenders in egg mixture, then in flour mixture to coat. |
4.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp of the oil over medium-high
heat. Add half the chicken and cook, stirrin goften, until browned, 4 to
5 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet, set aside, and cover loosely
with foil to keep warm. Add remaining oil to pan and cook the rest of
the chicken. |
5.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, heat remaining hot sauce and butter
until melted; add cooked chicken to bowl, tossing to coat. |
