In the Kitchen

I spent a chunk of today in the kitchen—I just felt like making yummy things, for no apparent reason!  I made coconut chicken fingers…

and red velvet cupcakes!

The chicken fingers were a super easy Cooking Light recipe : dredge some tenderloins or sliced chicken breasts in flour, egg & buttermilk, and coconut and pan fry until golden.  Easy!  I dipped them in a sweet Thai chile sauce from the grocery store.

The cupcakes were the standard red velvet recipe I usually use.  It’s on FoodNetwork.com and I think it might be Paula Deen, if the cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar frosting is any indication.  Matt and I each had to sample one of course and they got a thumbs up from both of us!
