Chicken tacos

    I grew up with your traditional beef taco on my dinner plate. My mom would cook up the ground beef, add some spices and then set aside some fixings so my brothers and I could make our tacos how we like them.
    I'm all for tacos, and I really wanted to try this chicken taco recipe.


Ingredients
    1 egg, lightly beaten
    1/2 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/8 tsp pepper
    4 chicken tenderloins
    1 tbs canola oil
    4 corn tortillas
    whatever toppings you want


Directions
    Place egg in one shallow bowl and bread crumbs, salt and pepper in a second one.
    Drag chicken through egg and then crumb mix.
    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chicken in oil for 5-7 minutes
    Serve on tortillas and whatever ingredients you want.

Changes I made!  
     I went with a flour tortilla instead of corn. Just put the tortillas in the oven to cook up a little bit.
    Also, the chicken alone, works as a great chicken tender, so you don't need to throw it in a taco shell if you don't want to.

This recipe is from Taste of Home.

Penne alla Vodka

     For me, trying out new things is a must for this challenge, and new sauces is differently something I have found joy in.      Now the last sauce, also bought to you by Audrey at Home, but this one is so much more simpler and doesn't call for a hand mill. Ingredients     1/2 onion     pinch crushed red pepper flakes     5 1/2 tbs of unsalted butter     1 cup tomato puree     1/2 cup of good quality Russian vodka     1/2 cup of heavy cream     Sea Salt     1 lb of penne     1 ounce of parmigiano-reggiano Directions       In a large skillet saute onion and pepper flakes in butter, over medium heat.       Add tomato puree, reduce heat to low and cook for a few minutes.       Stir in vodka and cook down for 15 minutes.       Add cream.       Meanwhile, cook pasta. ...

Spaghetti Carbonana

     I love pasta, and I love mixing up how I serve pasta. I'm normally not a big spaghetti fan, might have to do with how Giada pronounces it on Food Network, not sure, but I really wanted to try this sauce.      This recipe also has pancetta in it, which is my favorite addition to a good pasta dish. Ingredients     1 lb of spaghetti     2 tbs of olive oil     4 ounces of pancetta, chopped     4 large eggs     1/2 cup of grated Parmesan     Salt and pepper for seasoning     3 tbs of parsley Directions     Cook spaghetti according to packaging.      Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, and add oil and pancetta.     Brown pancetta for about 3 to 4 minutes.     Meanwhile, mix together eggs and Parmesan. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper.     Drain the excess grease off of pancetta.     Add...
