My Shake-N-Bake Mission!

One of the main things my husband misses since going paleo has been breadcrumbs.  Now don't get me wrong, him missing breadcrumbs makes it sound like I've been some fancy cook previously using breadcrumbs in every meal.  Yeah.  That was not happening in this house.  What I think he means is that he misses breading, Shake-n-Bake, crispy chicken crusts...you get the picture.  So I have been doing a lot of experimenting to come up with some ideas.

Almond Meal Shaked-N-Baked Pork Chops



{Attempt One} was delicious but sort of a flop on the aesthetics side.  It just did not brown no matter how hard I tried.  Course, maybe what it looks like doesn't always matter, right?  I just used a half cup of almond meal (blanched almonds) and flavored it up with some garlic powder and salt/pepper.  Dipped the pork chops in an egg then tossed in my mixture.
