Hi!

This was one of my favorite meals before I decided to become a calorie-counter addict. :tongue:
I'm wanting to make this meal, but before I take on all this fat, does anyone have an idea for a baked version?

Thanks!

    Well sub out boneless chicken tenders for the steak first off.,

    then dredge them in flour, then egg wash, then ground up cornflakes

    Put them on a baking sheet and bake at 375 until done (25-30 minutes or so) . Turn over half way through baking.


    I'm sure this is not exactly what you were thinking of but crunchy chicken tenders sound pretty good to me !!

    LOL... Sorry, still none the wiser! DQ? I'm English you see.. I seem to have this problem a lot.... not knowing brands/foods etc!

    However, if it's that tasty...maybe I'm better off in the dark :tongue:

    Oh and while we're on the subject...what is Mountain Dew? Seems to come up a lot on these forums!

    Yeah you got me the other day Daisy with the bacon, um round thingys....so I guess it goes both ways. And NO ONE should know what Mountain Dew is, it is the single worst soft drink ever created. I swear the people who drink it are addicts!

    True! Did you find the bacon medallions? I think I know what you mean about Mountain Dew...I used to have a bit of a problem with Red Bull! I'm reformed now though...:blushing:
