{baked fried chicken}

i love me some friend chicken.  especially some Church's Chicken.  my dad would order my sisters and me the 10 piece (to share) and it became a treat we always looked forward to.  if only i could still eat fried chicken like i use to.  that's how i pondered across this recipe.  (we're all trying to eat a little healthier here once in a while, am i right?)  the buttermilk (i used reduced fat buttermilk) keeps the chicken tres moist and the cornflake gives it a nice texture.  one thing i would add to the recipe is cayenne pepper to the coating to give it some kick and perhaps some bread crumbs?  other than that, it's a pretty decent recipe.

{when life gives me lemons}

... I literately make lemon bars out of them.  

I have been searching for a great lemon bar recipe and after multiple tribulations I have finally (yay!!!!) found a recipe that is a keeper.  (thank you Pinterest!!)  

This recipe yields a generous goo of sweet, sour and tart.  And a crust of buttery delight. 

I thank you, again, Pinterest.  I can now sleep at night.

**Please forgive the poor lighting in my photos.  I have to make due with the time and light I have on hand.  The woos of a working mother.**
