Thanks, my DH did a great job on the grill and the skin was really crispy. We get the sausage from our local grocery store. The brand name is Eckermann's: http://www.eckermannsmeatmarket.com

Hi Kim. Thank you for asking and welcome back. The recipe is very simple. For the breading, I mixed 1/4 cup almond meal, 2/3 cup grated asiago, 1/4 tsp. granulated garlic, and fresh ground black pepper to taste. I pounded the boneless breasts to make them thin and even in thickness. I beat one large egg and dipped the chicken in the egg to coat, then laid the chicken pieces on the breading mix and turned and pressed to get an even coating. Then I covered the breaded chicken and put it in the fridge to rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the breading to stick. When ready to cook, I added just enough olive oil to a medium hot non-stick pan to cover the bottom of the pan. Then I gently placed the chicken in the pan and cooked them for several minutes on each side until browned. This recipe works just as well with parmesan or Romano cheese. I have also used just plain flour or panko crumbs instead of the almond meal. The panko gives a nice crunch.

This has become one of our current favorites, with a changing variety of vegetables: Spicy Pork Tenderloin Stir Fry

So many great looking meals! Very inspirational! Spicy Pork Tenderloin Stir Fry

We want casual only. We were there during the last Mardi Gras prior to Katrina (2005). I had tagged along with my DH on a business trip, so I was free to explore the French Quarter while he was in all day meetings. The evening meals were with the other company members so we did not get to go out and explore on our own. We are not interested in the Bourbon street scene and want to focus on food, not drinks. I love all kinds of seafood and my DH is a gumbo lover. We will be staying in the French Quarter, will have our own car, and want to spend the daytime hours exploring the city. We don't want to spend a long time over lunches but would enjoy relaxed and leisurely dinners.
