Went out and got the morning papers this morning and it was a bit warmer than its been in the mornings. We got rain coming in sometime late Sunday, first time in a while. Got the Sandwich Maker out and made a Breakfast Sandwich to start the day along with a cup of hot Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Caught up on housework and a couple of loads of laundry for Mom. Watched College Football for the rest of the afternoon. For dinner tonight it's Fried Catfish w/ Herbed Red Potatoes, Green Beans, and Baked Harvest Grain Bread.
They had Catfish Fillets on sale at Kroger and it been quite sometime since I had Catfish so I picked up a Fillet. I started by rinsing it in cold water and patting dry with a paper towel. Cut the Fillet down the middle to make two smaller Fillets. Seasoned them with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper. I then took a couple of tablespoons of Zatarain’s Crispy Southern Fish Fri Mix and rolled the Fillets in it, making sure all sides were covered with the mix. Using a medium size skillet I pan fried the Fillets, in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, about 3 minutes per side. The Fillets came out a beautiful golden brown and just flat out delicious. The Zatarain's Mix just takes any Fish up a couple of notches on the flavor scale!
For one side I had some small Gourmet Potatoes left in a bag so I prepared some Herbed Red Potatoes. Washed the Potatoes off and dried, then cut them in half. Seasoned them with Sea salt, Pepper, Ground Smoked Cumin, Parsley , Dried Rosemary, and Dried Thyme. Then using a Cast Iron Skillet, my favorite cookware, I cooked them in Extra Virgin Olive Oil over Medium heat for about 5 minutes and finished them off in the oven for about 10 minutes. I had preheated the oven on 400 degrees and as I my Potatoes were finishing I also baked the Kroger Bakery Harvest Grain Loaf Bread. Then I also heated up a can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans. A delicious Southern Style Dinner tonight. For dessert later I'll be making a Hot-Fudge Sundae! I used Breyer's Carb Smart Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and topped it with Smucker's Sugar Free Hot Fudge Topping and some Chopped Walnuts.
