Simple Chicken Mayo with Parmesan and Bread Crumbs
This chicken breast recipe with mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and herbs is a true tried-and-tested recipe! I remember seeing an ad on TV about cooking with mayonnaise and decided to give it a shot. I've made it with just the mayonnaise on top and it really locks the moisture into the chicken. The bread crumbs and cheese are a must for me; they complement each other very well.
Cold Tuna Macaroni Salad
This macaroni salad with tuna is best served on a sunny summer day with a fresh muffin on the side.
Parmesan-Encrusted Pine Nuts
This recipe for candied pine nuts with Parmesan is my near-perfect attempt at replicating a delicious salad topper I had recently at a restaurant. The salad consisted of romaine lettuce, shredded Parmesan cheese, dressing, mixed croutons, and these Parmesan-encrusted pine nuts. They're sweet, savory, nutty, and delicious!
