Fried Pretzel Chicken with Honey Dijon Sauce | Eclectic Recipes
I can’t remember when or where I first heard about pretzel chicken. It was a long time ago. I remember putting it on my mental to make list, and over the past few years, it kept getting pushed further down. Not for any particular reason, I knew I would love the dish, but because we never seem to have pretzels and chicken in the house at the same time. To make the chicken, I ground up pretzels in the food processor, and then used them as breading.

Oatmeal Pancakes
I like oatmeal. I like pancakes - but they have to be light and fluffy, not heavy and thick. I found a great recipe for oatmeal pancakes, which was a great combination of two good foods. At first I was a bit scared it would be maybe like fried up oatmeal, but it wasn't. And the pancakes were still light enough I could handle it. Oatmeal Pancakes 2 cups oats (the regular kind - Old Fashioned or Quick, not steel-cut and not instant)3 cups buttermilk3 eggs, well beaten1/2 cup flour1 1/2 teaspoon baking powderDash salt1 Tbsp peanut oilButter or extra vegetable oil for the griddle 1 Put oats into a large bowl, add the buttermilk. 2 Mix in the eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and peanut oil. 3 Then proceed as with any pancake recipe. Serves 4-6. recipe found at: Simply Recipes

How to Make Pizza Without Dough | « LXRCUISINE
I was getting kind of sick of ordering delivery pizza (this happens at least 2-3 times a month). It was time to put a spin on gourmet pizza, but I just didn't know what it would be. Without pizza dough or an oven that is capable of creating the perfect pizza crust (I don't have an oven that can go up to a 1000 degrees), I decided I would use potatoes instead. For 4 small, personal sized pizzas 4" in diameter, you will need: 2 large potatoes peeled and cleaned4 teaspoons salt (to flavor the potatoes) I'm doing four different flavor combinations here, and the measurements for each combination will top 4 small pizzas or 1 large pizza. Cheese & pepperoni pizza: 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese1/4 cup marinara sauce10 slices of pepperoni (or as much as you like)7-8 leaves of fresh basil Mushroom swiss and ham pizza: 1/2 cup chopped ham1 cup cooked mushroomssalt & pepper to taste2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon olive oil4 slices of swiss cheese Shrimp scampi pizza: Bleu cheese & arugula pizza:
