Chocolate Walnut Cookies Continued Spread walnuts in single layer on cookie sheet. Toast in oven for about 8-9 minutes. Let cool, and then coarsely chop. Set aside. Leave oven at 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk (or use hand mixer at low speed) the powdered sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Add the walnuts. While whisking (or change mixer speed to medium) add egg whites one at a time. Add vanilla. The dough will be stiff, so do not over mix. The dough should be shiny and not dry looking. If it looks too dry, add a small amount of a 4th egg white. Do not add too much as the dough should not be runny. It needs to be incorporated, but thick. Use 2 teaspoons to make balls of dough to place on parchment. Bake about 9-10 minutes. Cookies will have a slightly cracked appearance on top. Slide parchment onto cooling racks to let cool completely. Makes 4-5 dozen.

Coconut Chicken Ingredients:

4 - 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 large eggs 1/4 c. coconut milk (or any milk) 1/2 c. flour

Submitted by: Robyn Currell

1 c. Panko bread crumbs 1 c. shredded sweetened coconut 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 c. vegetable oil Sweet chili sauce for dipping

DIRECTIONS:

Cut chicken into strips, cutting diagonally so the ends are not too small. Prepare three separate bowls for breading your chicken. In one bowl combine flour and salt; in another whisk eggs and milk together; in the last stir Panko bread crumbs and coconut together. Heat 1/2 c. of vegetable oil in large skillet over medium high heat.The oil is hot when the flour sizzles and bubbles as it comes into contact with the oil. Coat chicken strips in the three bowls. Start with the flour combination, proceed to the egg and milk, and end with the bread crumbs and coconut. Place chicken strips in the hot oil with about an inch in between each strip (this helps prevent the oil from cooling down). Sauté the strips until they are golden brown and place them on a paper towel to drain. Once all are drained, bake them for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Cooking time will vary depending on thickness of chicken strips. Serve with chili sauce.

Jalapeno Gorgonzola Turkey Meatloaf Continued DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray, or coat with a small amount of oil. Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl and add all the spices, diced onion, diced jalapeno, quinoa (or bread), and gorgonzola. In a small bowl, crack the egg and whisk together with the Worcestershire and hot sauce(s). Add the egg/sauce mixture to the turkey and slowly incorporate all ingredients. Try not to over mix, as the meatloaf will get more dense. Once all the ingredients are well-mixed, place the meatloaf into your prepared loaf pan. Place into preheated oven and bake for an hour. You will likely have leftover quinoa. Use it to make a tasty side dish. Use 1 c. quinoa and add 2 c. water along with gorgonzola, jalapeno, and a can of black beans. Heat over stovetop to your desired temperature. The meatloaf has European origins; meatloaf of minced meat was mentioned in the famous Roman cookery collection Apicius as early as the 5th century. Meatloaf is a traditional German and Belgian dish, and it is a cousin to the Dutch meatball. American meatloaf has its origins in scrapple, a mixture of ground pork and cornmeal served by German-Americans in Pennsylvania since Colonial times. However, meatloaf in the contemporary American sense did not appear in cookbooks until the late 19th century. –Source:Wikipedia
