Best French and Italian Food Recipe

Hello and Happy Tuesday TRSI readers!   Today we are sharing these chicken tenders that I dearly love.  I can not seem to get enough of them.  The chicken is delightfully tender and juicy on the inside and the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese form this incredible crunch.  Then the rosemary ties it all up in the perfect flavor package... Oh, my mouth is watering thinking about them.  Munchkin and I thoroughly enjoyed these every time I made them.  I served them with Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce that I had in the freezer.  Perfect compliment!  Chad does enjoy them too, but is stuck on the Healthy Homestyle Baked Chicken Nuggets.

I usually buy a huge pack of chicken (5 pounds) and make these tenders and freeze them.  I portion them in 1 batch increments and they reheat perfectly in about 10-15 minutes at 400°, flipping them half way through reheating.  (Remember to prep your baking sheet with aluminum foil and non-stick olive oil spray when you reheat).  If you don't have time to reheat it may take longer.  Watch your time.

Enjoy these, they are so simple and so delicious.  If you want to get creative you can put them in an oven safe dish and cover in layers of mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce.  Fabulous!

Its time for our Cinco de Mayo cocktail round up!  We have had some real fun putting these drinks together for you. It has been an amazing month of tequila cocktails.  We got a great deal on Jose Cuervo Gold a while back and had bought a bottle, it was sitting at the back of the liquor cabinet when we started planning this months cocktails.  I wasn't a big tequila fan (I really do remember the saying "One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, FLOOR").  Not one to take chances as an adult I can say I haven't had it in many years (probably since college).  Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to find I reallllllly like this tequila.  We have since purchased another bottle and now have 4 FABULOUS tequila cocktails to add to the Cinco de Mayo Cocktail Round Up!

Happy Ladies Night!  I am so excited about this last cocktail creation for Cinco de Mayo.  We have had a fantastic month of Cinco de Mayo cocktails and will be sharing an amazing Cinco de Mayo cocktail roundup this afternoon.  If you missed our Cinco de Mayo party food round up you can check it out here.

Over the last year Chad has been infusing alcohol with various different things.  Some have been a major stroke of genius and others just a major pain to clean up after (hint:  marshmallows and vodka=bad infusion mess).  So I suggested getting into the produce and infusing a jalapeño into something (I am really inventive like that when it comes to drinks).  Chad the "Master of Cocktail Artistry" managed my favorite all time cocktail.  I know I have said that a few drinks along the way were a favorite or made the top 5, but this one beat them ALL out!

Frittata's are the easiest breakfast dish to prepare.  Using ingredients that you have in your pantry/fridge you can come up with the most fantastic combinations.  Its no secret that I have a deep love for sun-dried tomatoes.  I buy tomatoes by the case, not the pound and keep my fridge and freezer stocked with these fantastic gems.  When making this frittata I looked to ingredients that could bring the most flavor to this ricotta frittata.  Made with hot Italian chicken sausage, sun-dried tomatoes and ricotta cheese it is absolutely delightful.
