Breaded chicken/turkey cutlets or mild white fish

This is a dinner staple for the whole family.  It goes great with quinoa and mashed sweet potato with a little cinnamon and butter for little ones.  If I make fish, I have to mash it into the sweet potato and hide it.  I like the cutlets with quinoa salad:feta, black beans, cilantro, parsley, cucumber, celery, lemon juice and olive oil.  I find that the quinoa salad and cutlets make a great meal when we invite other families over.  I like that you can omit the cheese from the quinoa salad and accommodate a dairy allergy as well.  And baked sweet potato fries go great with this as well.

My favorite bread for making breadcrumbs is the Organic Spelt Sourdough by ShaSha Bread Co.  I like the breadcrumbs best using just the crust (I sometimes cut out shapes with a cookie cutter and then freeze the crusts separately for making breadcrumbs.  I contacted the company about cross-contamination with sesame seeds and eggs.  I liked their response.  And my toddler really likes this bread toasted with spreadable cottage cheese and a hint of unsulphured blackstrap molasses.
