BROWN BAG EXCHANGE

image
 

Today is Paper Bag Day plus July is National Picnic Month – a great opportunity to have a Brown Bag Exchange.

Gather friends or family and tell them to each bring a decorated “brown paper bag” lunch to exchange with another person at a local park or even in your own backyard. Either number the bags and draw to determine who gets what “brown bag” or the gathering can also be a fund raiser for a local charity by auctioning off the various culinary delights. Just remember “looks can be deceiving” and the prettiest bag may contain just a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!!

Here are a couple recipes using the following Garlic Herb Blend which would be great for a “brown bag” lunch:

GARLIC HERB BLEND
4Tbs garlic granules
1Tbs dill weed
1Tbs basil
1Tbs thyme
1Tbs marjoram
1 tsp black pepper

Herbed Snack Crackers: Combine 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 1Tbs GARLIC HERB BLEND. Pour over 1 package oyster crackers and mix well. Store in airtight container.

Oven-Fried Parmesan Chicken: Crush 2c Herbed Snack Crackers in a food processor then add 2Tbs Parmesan cheese. Cut 2 boneless chicken breasts into strips, dip each in a combination of 1 beaten egg, 1Tbs water, salt & pepper and then coat with cracker crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, turn over and bake another 15 minutes. Serve hot or chilled!
