A Better Buffalo Bite

Buffalo-Bites-finished

Buffalo chicken bites are delicious.  Unfortunately, this bar-food consists of God-knows-what part of the chicken, which is typically covered in batter, fried and then drenched in buffalo sauce.  Let’s just say that it’s not the healthiest option.  Tonight, however, I made a better buffalo bite.  One that uses chicken breast, which is breaded in Panko bread crumbs, baked and lightly dipped in hot sauce.  And it passed the ultimate taste test – it was Hubs approved. RECIPE: BETTER BUFFALO BITE [2-3 servings] Ingredients 2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 Eggs 2 C. Panko bread crumbs 1/4 C. All-purpose flour 1/4 … Continue reading

New Shabbotts Habit and Lent

Race-1

Don’t forget about the Bobble Bottle giveaway!  You must comment by tonight at 11:59 (EST) to win [Click HERE for giveaway post]. So, my new love for Peanut Butter & Co. Cinnamon Raisin Swirl has led me to eating what I believe to be waaaay too much peanut butter for dessert in the evenings.  Especially because I’ve been slathering the stuff on my morning oats.  That’s why I’ve decided to give up nut butters after dinner for lent   40 days without dipping my spoon in a nut butter jar.  I think I can make it.  *Edit 3/10/11:  A reader … Continue reading

Hello world!!!

Welcome to Shabbott’s Habits, a blog devoted to attaining a healthier lifestyle by forming healthy habits one at a time over the course of a year.
