i basically watched high school musical as a psychic prediction of my high school life. I was going to attend high school, be super smart, inherently be a fantastic singer, meet a perfect boy, have perfect friends and most importantly; sing in the hallways.
So it hasn't exactly turned out like that. and yet I'm super happy!
I never woulda thought that I'd go to an all girls school. a private school. an all girls private school in hawaii, and be so so happy!
yet here I am, beyond excited and loving my life, and I find out we're moving. yep. This June, I shall be leaving my home here and starting over somewhere new. granted I'm super upset but something new will be good. I'll be going to a co-ed school this time. with boys. and no uniform. I have to wake up in the morning and actually care. oh my.
What more to calm my nerves than fried pickle chips. wait, no. Deep fried foods to make me fatter and give me pimples? no. that will not calm my nerves. So how about some skinny "fried" pickle chips with wasabi "mayo". Super healthy? Super delish?
Okay. consider my nerves calmed and my stomach quieted.
Ingredients-
1 large egg
2 TBSP milk
10 oz bread and butter pickle chips
4 TBSP ap flour
1 1/2 cups italian seasoned panko
Pam cooking spray
Directions-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and grease a small cookie sheet with Pam.
Beat the egg with the milk in a small bowl until combined.
Place the 4 TBSP of flour in a large bowl and the panko in a smaller bowl. [don't worry, just run the dishwasher later]
Dry the pickle chips with paper towels and set aside.
Toss the pickles in the flour all together, getting all the sides covered real well.
Dip the pickles, a few at a time in the egg, let the excess drip off and press into the panko. Press super hard and don't forget the edges. Place on the cookie sheet and repeat. It'll be super quick, I promise.
Grease the tops of the pickle chips real well with Pam.
Bake for 12 minutes or til golden brown. Make the mock mayo while they're cooling a bit.
Skinny Wasabi "Mayo"
Ingredients-
2 TBSP ranch
4 TBSP greek yogurt
1 1/4 tsp wasabi (to taste)
Directions-
Mix together. Devour with the pickles.
Love the artful labeled picture of the wasabi mayo. I always lose sight when I'm staging pictures of leaving room for me to write over the photo haha. I'm working on that skill! PS-These look yummy. Fried pickles are huge here in the South but we've yet to try them. We love fried okra though so I imagine we'll love these. And I've always got at least 2 boxes of Panko on hand haha
ReplyDeleteYou've got a great attitude about moving! I moved halfway through high school to another state too! Oh, & I always wished for a school with uniforms so I didn't have to care in the morning like you say! :)

Is this going to make me look like a stalker if I post back to back comments? haha Do I get a reprieve because they're days apart perhaps?
ReplyDeleteAnywho! I was thinking...if you'd like to do that Foodie Penpal thing, I would be game to exchange boxes with you :) Food for thought (ha, accidental pun)
it is most definitely a legit move. i like to get on after a hiatus from my laptop and see comments :)
Deletei just signed up for the Foodie Penpals, here's me hoping to get you!
