Seasoned Haddock w/ Creamy Parmesan Risotto and Sliced Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Seasoned Haddock w/ Creamy Parmesan Risotto and Sliced Carrots





For Breakfast this morning I prepared a packet of Pioneer Peppered White Gravy, toasted 2 slices of
Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread, and had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. After a night of heavy rain and thunder storms, the morning was quiet but a lot cooler. We had a record high of 76 degrees yesterday and a high of 41 degrees today! There goes my Sinuses again!Just as soon as they get adjusted to warm weather, here comes the cool weather back. Cloudy and breezy out. After Lunch I went up to see Dad for a while at the rehab center. Back home took a quick nap and watched some College Basketball. For Dinner tonight its a Seasoned Haddock w/ Creamy Parmesan Risotto and Sliced Carrots.



I had purchased 2 Haddock fillets from Kroger the day before. I rinsed both fillets and cut into
smaller pieces. I froze one bag and kept the other one out for my Dinner tonight. So to prepare them I seasoned them with just a bit of Sea Salt and put the pieces in a Hefty Zip Plastic Bag where I then added Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Breading Mix. Shook until all the pieces were well coated. Shook off the excess and pan fried them in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, frying them about 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Haddock and Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Mix, the perfect combo. The Zatarain’s Breading and Seasonings are my favorites. I love Haddock it cooks up so nicely and I love the flavor and how meaty it is. These make a great Fish Sandwich also!



For one side dish I made some Creamy Parmesan Risotto. As always I used Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto. Quick, easy, and delicious Risotto dish. Ready in about 25 – 30 minutes.











Then I also heated up a can of Del Monte Sliced carrots. These are so much easier to prepare than
boiling fresh Carrots, and they taste just as fresh and good. I also baked a 1/2 loaf of LaBrea Whole Grain Loaf Bread. For dessert later a Weight Watcher's Divine Triple Chocolate  Ice Cream Bar.

Enjoy the delectable flavor of rich, aged Parmesan cheese in this elegant Italian-style risotto. We

Preparing this tasty risotto takes about 20 minutes and requires minimal stirring. It’s an easy, convenient way to add gourmet flair to any meal.
