Occasionally, I buy lightly breaded frozen chicken breast bites from the grocery store. I'm trying to eat high protein per doctor instructions and these are good for days when I am not in the mood to cook or don't have time to cook. Most of the time, I'm cooking proteins like chicken breast, chickpeas, lentils, tofu, etc., so this comes out of the freezer maybe once every two months. But then I'll eat it twice in two days. The last time I bought them, a 36 oz bag was on sale for $8.99 (usually it's anywhere from $11.99 to $14.99).

I was wondering if something similar could be made at home. I'm thinking this would be the process:

- Cut up chicken breast into medium size "bites".

- Coat with egg then panko bread crumbs and any spices (?). Gently shake dry.

- Lay flat in a freezer bag, close it, and stick it in the freezer.

- When I want to cook it, take the freezer bag out. Remove as many as I want and put on a foil lined tray.

- Bake in preheated oven at 375 F for ~20 min.

- Remove from tray and eat.

Is this correct? Would it work? Would it get as crispy as the brand ones?

**note: I removed the brand name, not sure ifit would be a problem so just thought I'd do it preemptively.

I'm thinking about taking Pilates classes again- open to both mat and Reformer. I used to take classes pre-pandemic but affordability and scheduling became an issue.

But I no longer work after 6 pm most days, and now I'm thinking about doing a package of classes of 5 or 10 instead of a monthly membership. I prefer options in or close to Sylvania.

I have found a few in town - does anyone know the pricing of these, what they offer, and whether they have classes after 6 pm?

- Pilates by V - in Maumee and there's a Sylvania location coming

- Club Pilates in Sylvania, Holland or Perrysburg

- Pilates mat classes as part of YMCA membership

- Pilates by Maddy - got an ad for a one-time class at the Blarney event center, does she teach regularly anywhere?

Any others I missed?
