Bloody Mary Ketsup Dip

This is a spiced up version of a cocktail sauce. Basically the flavor of a bloody mary mix. If you use it on french fries, sprinkle fries with celery salt when you pull them out of the oil. Then, dip them in this sauce. Yum! It's good of fried fish, chicken nuggets, fried oysters, fried livers, etc.

The ingredients...
1 cup ketsup
1 T hot sauce, or to taste
1 T Worcestershire sauce
2 T Horseradish sauce
splash of lemon juice
salt and pepper, to taste


Mix everything together...

Dish it up and it's ready to go.

A closer look... yummy!

Super Easy Chicken Cordon Blue !!!

I love Chicken Cordaon Blue! I love the flavor, but not the work. This is so much easier than rolling and dredging and dipping and frying... It also tastes so amazing! I'm not putting the traditional method down. As a matter of fact, I love the presentation and textures of the traditional. But this casserole never turns out dry and it's easy! It's a no-fail recipe! :-)

A Pictorial Version of the Pork Scallopini Recipe

The ingredients

The pork chops have been pounded thin.

The breading station

Dipped in the egg wash...

Then coated with seasoned bread crumbs.

While the chops are frying, heat a cup of
beef stock or both and pour in a baking dish.

Drain the chops.

Add to the pan of broth.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

When done, most of the both will be absorbed.

Seriously... fork tender!

Supper's done! I usually make my homemade Mac-n-Cheese,
but Elliott requested Shells and Cheese...
