    I had spinach tonight with dinner. But no lima beans. Hey instead of Key Lime Yorgurt what about the real Key Lime Pie, or you could have pistachio pudding. It's green. Hehehe.

    Peas are not my favorite either. But as a kid I learned (and yes, I know this is not good) to swallow them whole. My dad would make us eat them ('member that lil sis?) anyway. Now days I may give them one squish of the tongue and then swallow it down. Now if they're in a casserole, then I don't mind them at all. Strange how I eat some foods.

    Can't eat peas either - just as bad as Lima Beans for me

    I can remember Peas and Liver at supper and I'd put so much salt on the liver that's all you could taste and I too would swallow the peas whole. Finally my parents allowed me Spaghetti O's on liver night! Whew! Guess they figured the salt was totally defeating the purpose.

    I'd bet it could be done. There'd have to be a lot of thought in the recipe (and I am so not feeling like thinking today), but I bet it could be done. I love chicken fried steak too!

    ha! found one!!!!!:happy: :happy: :happy:




    Makes 4 servings

    ACTIVE TIME: 35 minutes

    TOTAL TIME: 35 minutes

    EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
    1/4 cup cornmeal
    1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
    1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch, divided
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1 pound cube steak, cut into 4 portions
    3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
    1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium beef broth
    1 tablespoon water
    1/4 cup half-and-half

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
    2. Place all-purpose flour on a large plate. Place egg whites in a shallow dish. Whisk cornmeal, whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch and paprika in another shallow dish. Season both sides of steak with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Dredge the steak in the flour, shaking off excess; dip in the egg whites, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture.
    3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add 2 pieces of the steak; cook until browned on both sides, turning once, 3 to 5 minutes total. Transfer the steak to the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 2 pieces of steak. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
    4. Meanwhile, add broth to the pan and boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1 cup, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk water and the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Return to the heat and cook, stirring, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in half-and-half; season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Serve the steak topped with the gravy.
