COOKING WITH HOME & GARDEN PARTY

Do you or your family love Chicken Strips??
Well if you do this is a great recipe that doesn't
require frying but still gives you a great crunch.

Take 3 skinless chicken breasts and
slice them into strips.
Or purchase pre-cut chicken breast strips.
Set aside.

2 eggs
1 Tbl. water
1 Cup Italian Flavored Bread Crumbs
1/3 Cup Parmesan Cheese
¼ tsp. Garlic Salt
1 tsp Italian Seasoning

(If you dont have Italian seasoning you can use ½ tsp. Parsley & ½ tsp. Oregano or add your own extra seasoning of your choice or dont add the extras at all but I like the extra flavor.)

Combine dry ingredients together.
Then combine wet ingredients together.
Dip chicken strips into egg, roll into dry ingredients.
Then place on the Home & Garden Party Round or
Rectangular Baking Stone and bake for 14-16 minutes at 450.
This is a great snack that is crunchy, and easy!

Craft Corner

Check out your local hardware store and
look for L brackets, they come in lots of sizes.
For a wonderful look for any décor,
take several L brackets and attach them
to the wall in a wonderful lattice pattern.
Then take our Flower Pot Votive Holder (pg. 44)
and some Velcro circles found in the craft section,
place one on the bottom of the votive holder
the other on the top of the L bracket
(the part that is sticking out from the wall.
Attach the votive holder and place your favorite color
of Home & Garden Votive (pg. 38) in each container or
pick a couple of colors to match your décor.
When this is lit it gives a room a wonderful look.
Use our Wick Trimmer (pg. 38) and
Brass Candle Snuffer (pg. 8) to maintain your candles.



Your Home Decor

French Country is sweeping the United States
in the decorating world today.
With Home & Garden Party and a little creativity
- the look can be achieved easily in your home.

French country style, perfect for any room
in the house, is all about the beautiful and
nature-inspired colors and textures of the
rural regions of France.

Use the colors of the countryside.
Keep walls and floors neutral.
Include handcrafted artwork and accessories.
Use the Colors of the Countryside

The French have been inspired by the colors that
surrounded them--cool blues, bright yellows,
reds, greens and golds.
Decide which color palette works for you
and use it with furniture and accessories
(including dishes, glassware and pottery)
and in your accents.

Keep Walls and Floors Neutral.

Use a natural washed look in paint to have the
walls seem "aged" and more authentic.
Hardwood floors can complement this style
and give a rustic feel.
Light colors and neutral tones will make all
of the colors you bring in more vibrant and alive!

Include Handcrafted Artwork and Accessories

French motifs include small, floral patchwork
prints, farm animals, and folklore-inspired
characters. * Find items made by other people at Craft Fairs!

Designers' Secret

If you are looking for a great French Country look
check out page 9 and look at Garden gathering picture.
That with some other accents would be a great look!!
Remember, old is great, simple
(plain or boring some would call it),
metal works, white washed, garden items
all make a great start for the French Country look.
