Thanksgiving, of course, is a big project for whoever is cooking. Wonderful, but a bit of work. So as we get ready for Thursday, isn't it OK to cut a few corners (or order take-out) once or twice as we prepare dinners in these throw-away days ahead of time?Yesterday when Dave and I were at the grocery store, as I was cruising the baking aisle for whole wheat flour and packets of yeast, he was somehow drawn to pull a box of "Shake 'N Bake" from the shelf and throw it into our cart. Don't know when I last coated pork chops with Shake 'N Bake crumbs, but you know, it wasn't a bad way to go tonight, after I'd been baking all day. Panko crumbs would have been a better, more contemporary option, but I'd have had to take a few minutes to figure out what to do with those.
No need to share tonight's recipe here. You can find it on the box.

Shake and bake rocks. Our favorite meal is chicken drumsticks with Shake and bake and a side of mac and cheese (two year old in the house)
NOW I remember when I last used Shake 'N Bake... when I had kids living at home! That's it.
My husband LOVES Shake 'n Bake. I am not a fan. So I turned him onto my pork chops. I coat mine in crushed Savory Herb Stove Top. It's WAY better than Shake 'n Bake in my opinion. We had it for dinner last night.
I totally agree in cutting corners during this busy week. I'm tired just thinking about it. I will have a lot to do Wednesday night. I work Thursday. ;o(
Maybe next year you should try making a Shake N Bake turkey?
By the way, is it Shake and Bake, or the more advertising friendly Shake N Bake?
See you....tomorrow! Looking forward to it!
