Finish cooking noodles

Pour into a large bowl

Mix enough mayo that it sticks together a bit

add Parmesan Cheese

a small amount -enough to fill the dint in the palm of your hand-

Fried Chicken

Tonight we will have fried chicken I use as the batter flour and powdered ranch dressing.

Not a lot because it is salty!!!!

I cover the chicken in the flour mixture and fry it.

I have done this two ways....

Fried it on the stove till cook through

Fry the outside and put in the crockpot to finish cooking.

It works just fine both ways.

Recipe Project:::

I have toyed with idea for awhile now. I am using this as a link and creating a 'tab' on my Facebook. My goal is to have an online record of our recipes that we as a family enjoy. This way if my recipe box is ever lost or when the paper is hard to read I will have it here. So here is hoping Blogspot is easy to use and that I keep up with this.
