For you Canadians - the free Food and Drink guide you get from the LCBO is one of my favourite places to find new recipes and things to try.

Also love entertaining - can't wait to have people over to cook for !

PRETZEL CHICKEN

8 pieces of your favorite cut of chicken
1 cup pretzel crumbs
1 / 4 cup flour
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder, to taste
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Crush pretzels in blender. Mix (in a bowl or paper bag) pretzels, flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder. In another bowl, combine soy sauce and lemon juice. Dip chicken pieces in liquid mixture, then roll around (or shake in paper bag) in dry mixture. Put the coated pieces in a shallow or flat pan lined with foil. Bake in oven at 375 degrees for one hour. Turn over chicken over 30 minutes. Makes 8 chicken pieces.

 this recipe is soo good. i am still looking for caserole ones.

Ok, I'm basically clueless when it comes to cooking.  I can make almost anything that I can read the recipe to (as long as it doesn't have any strange verbs that I don't recognize!) 

Thank God for the Betty Crocker cookbook.  It's hard to find, now, but my mom bought me one when I moved out on my own.  It has glossaries and how-tos with pictures as well as lovely recipes.  It bills itself as having "everything you need to know to cook."  I recommend it to anyone who is learning!

oh T that cookbook sounds awesome! I might need it for the glossaries and how-to pictures. I should see if I can find that = )

DH and I love cooking together - we have a ton of recipe books. We're health junkies so we're always looking for ways to eat healthy with new, delicious recipes.
