recipes below the break
for the fried chicken, I give the tenders a little soak in some scrambled egg, and then bread them with equal parts panko and white flour, mixed with a bunch of spices and a pinch of cornstarch. I like roughly equal parts salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin, and old bay, with a little garlic powder but definitely experiment. add almost twice as much of each spice and seasoning as you think you want - the oil burns away a lot of their flavour.
after egging and breading, deep fry at 375° Fahrenheit until deep golden brown, and stick them in a toaster oven or something at ~175° to keep warm until served.
veggies are easy, green beans fried in butter with garlic until cooked enough for your taste, potatoes roasted in a skillet at 425° for about 40 minutes with salt, pepper, a whole mess of garlic, and a bit of sunflower oil.
for the cookies, I just used this recipe with an extra cup of oats, some caramel chips, and some pecans.
