Easiest Hollandaise Sauce
Prep Time:5 minutes (tops!)
Effort:Easy
Ingredients:
3 egg yolks
dash of nutmeg
dash of cayenne1 teaspoon (more/less to taste) lemon juice
2 sticks of salted butter

How to Prepare:
Put all ingredients but the butter in a blender. In a microwave safe
dish, melt the butter to bubbling. Immediately start the blender and
begin to add the butter in a very thin stream through the hole for
the little removable insert. (Use your hand to cover all but the
half inch square between your thumb and forefinger that you’re
pouring through. It will pop up all over as it blends. Your palm
will be covered when you finish, but that’s easier to wash than your
counter and cabinets for four feet in every direction.) Have
patience with this because the more slowly you add it, the better it
will emulsify. It may take a full minute or two, but it’s better
than madly whisking it in over a double boiler hoping all the while
that it emulsifies at all. Three notes: Don’t add salt, the butter
will add plenty! Fresh lemon juice makes a world of difference. You
can play with adding a few drops of water to get a thinner
consistency if you desire.

Honey Mustard Wannabe Strips CarbsPerServing:29g total Effort:Easy
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken — breast, meat only
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon Salt — table
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Oil — olive, salad or cookingSauce: 1/2 cup Splenda
1 cup yellow mustard — French’s

How to Prepare:
The beginning step is to turn those chicken breasts into something
resembling strips. Not only is this process easy as all hell, it’s
quite emotionally satisfying as well. Take the breasts, one at a
time, rinse them in water, and place them in a heavy duty freezer
bag. Then place the bag with the breast in it on a sturdy counter or
table and bang away at it with a hammer. That’s right, with a
hammer. Make nice, even hits, and hammer the breast out until it’s
about 1/4 inch thick. If some hapless soul wanders into the kitchen
to ask what the heck you’re doing, give them a maniacal stare and
sort of growl, “I’m making chicken!”

Now that you’ve hammered the chicken out to 1/4 inch thick, remove
it from the bag and cut it into strips, lengthwise. You can make
your strips as wide or as thin as you want. The world’s your oyster,
baby. Once you’ve cut them into strips, roll them in the parmesan
cheese and spices, until you have a fine coating.

Now, starting with a hot pan, fry the strips on medium high heat in
the olive oil, for about eight minutes on each side, or until the
chicken is easily pierced with a fork and the juices run clear. Once
the strips are done, lay them on a bed of paper towels and read them
a story while they drain of grease. That’s it kidlets!

Use the sauce for dipping, and force your family members to bow
before your low carbohydrate mastery!
