Recipe for Veggie Crusty Chicken

This recipe is not healthy, but it's tasty and easy to make. I can't believe I'm confessing to eating this last night after I just finished watching Food Matters. Which I recommend you check out this amazing and informative documentary if you haven't already seen it. It reminded me why eating healthy, even a raw diet is so important. Nothing about last nights meal was raw. Ahhh...

Anyway, back to the main course. The rock star ingredient is FriChick. It comes in a can and is basically a vegetable protein chicken substitute. You just have to taste it, it's hard to describe.

The recipe is from Shirley Beary who is a friend of my mother-in-law.

2 small cans FriChick, torn in pieces
6 slices soft bread, cubed
1/2 c. chopped onion (I love onions and put in 3/4 c.)
1 c. mayonnaise (I did use Vegenaise)
1/4 c. oil (I did used a little less, 1/8 c.)
1 Tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp. Chicken seasoning
1/2 c. canned milk
Cornflakes

MIX well and place in a csserole dish. POUR canned milk over the casserole. SPRINKLE cornflakes on top. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 min.

Yummy crunchy-ness in a pan. Hope you like.

65 Roses: Cystic Fibrosis Benefit

Acrylic on Canvas, 4 x 4", Angela Canada Hopkins

The 65 Roses fundraiser is hosted by Independence Gallery with Billie Colson at the helm. Billie and other artists have donated their original art. All the pieces have a rose theme (although my painting took a departure with a flower motif). Each art work starts at $27 and 100% of the proceeds benefit Cystic Fibrosis research. I stopped in yesterday and a few have already sold!

A reception for the fundraiser will be held this Friday, the 11th, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Independence Gallery, 440 N. Lincoln Ave, in Loveland.

Photos of the roses can be seen on Billie Colson's Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=90350&id=1612664794. For more information, see the article in the paper: http://www.reporterherald.com/news_story.asp?ID=31006
