Welcome!

Well ladies...and maybe a man or two here or there. It's time to start this little project.
I have decided to begin a blog posting family recipes from all different generations as a way for us to connect.
I think no one will argue (especially those steming from the Hall family) that some of our best memories are based around the holidays and family gatherings when we all come together, gossiping in the kitchen and picking at the food while we prepare our favorite family dishes.
We remember the moment as children when we were allowed to help out in preparing the feast, although I dont know about you but I got the lousy jobs...like peeling 5 lbs. of potatoes...
but it didn't matter...I loved being in the kitchen with all the girls and pretending to know what I was doing...
Over the years most of those recipes still come together for our family affairs...although some recipes are getting lost along the way...and phone calls and emails are sent to everyone to try and track down an old recipe that we remembered as kids. So thats where I have decided to step in...
I have decided to collect recipes that hold a special place to someone and post them here...some may bring back memories, and some will be from other families that may become a new family tradition in yours...




So come on ladies...and those few men...send me your recipes and let's get cookin!

Zero Carb Zero Sugar Fried Chicken Strips

Wednesday, August 25, 2010

This is a recipe I found and tried myself on a recipe site and thought I would share it with you!


This dish turned out amazing!


One thing I have started hating on my diet of low carbs and low sugar is I miss the texture and taste of fried foods! So I went on a hunt and this turned out to be an amazing discovery.....Instead of breadcrumbs use Pork Rinds! They are zero carbs and zero sugar..

1/2 bag of pork rinds
1/2 c. shredded parmesan cheese
1 egg
oil for frying (peanut oil is best since it has no carbs as well)


I took a half a bag of pork rinds and and ground them up in a food processor making sure not to turn them into a powder.

After that I added a equal amount of shredded Parmesan cheese and pulsed again until the cheese is about 1/3rd the size it originally was.

This mixture is harder to stick then regular breadcrumbs so I coated the chicken with egg then rolled it in batter and lightly fried it on each side.

Use minimal amount of oil just enough to fry each side.

After you pull it out of the pan lay on paper towels to absorb excess oil


Enjoy your carb free chicken fingers!
