Best French and Italian Food Recipe

The vacation is coming to an end, and while I certainly enjoyed my time off, I'm really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things this week by featuring the mind-blowing awesomeness that is Korean fried chicken. 

Tomorrow, I'll ease back into it by showing you my take on the traditional KFC sauce, and then Wednesday, we'll cover the actual chicken recipe. With apologies to the Colonel, this is the world's best fried chicken. Stay tuned!

Boneless chicken breast marinated in a perfectly seasoned buttermilk mixture, breaded and grilled to perfection (baked recipe included also).  This results in the most flavorful moist chicken sandwich with a perfectly crisp exterior.  This easy recipe will need a permanent place in your file.

Chad and I love chicken sandwiches.  Truth be told I could probably eat a good breaded chicken sandwich every night and be completely happy about it.  I love the crisp coating and the tender chicken inside.  This recipe was created to pacify my need to have breaded chicken sandwiches and the desire not to have to get it at a restaurant.

I know, I'm supposed to be on vacation, but I wanted to post links for a couple of spectacularly refreshing summer drinks. Not only is the timing perfect for either of these beautiful beverages,  but I was getting really tired of looking at that hairy, photoshop'd beach guy. To see the full post, and get the ingredients, click on the title, and away you go. Enjoy, and see you next week!

Muffaletta Tortellini Salad is all your favorite things about a pasta salad and the classic Italian flavors of the Muffaletta sandwich rolled into one amazing summer salad.  An easy recipe that you will be making all year long.

Have you ever been to New Orleans?  Nawlin's as the locals call it.  We had an awesome trip last year and I fell in love with the Muffaletta sandwich while I was there (I may have had several and even taken one to the airport with me).  It's a Sicilian sandwich that originated in New Orleans more than 100 years ago.  Honestly, I have never had a sandwich quite so good in my life.  Loaded with my favorite Italian deli meats and cheeses topped with the most amazing olive salad you can find.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I’ll be on vacation this week. We’ll continue to publish comments and questions while I’m gone, but I won’t be around to answer them. So yes, it will be very similar to when I’m not on vacation.

I can’t say for sure where I’m going, or what I’ll be doing, but I’m posting this beach picture to show one place I won’t be headed. I didn’t have any photos of me at the beach, but this one is very close to what you’d see (although, the giant cross would actually be a clock).

By the way, I have nothing against the beach, or walking around barely dressed, but the “Hey, who called a cab?” jokes get a little old. Hope you have a great week, and as always, enjoy!
