Dinner Tonight: Lemon-Baked Cod w/ Cauliflower with Cheese, Green Beans, and Baked French Bread

Well we've really been blessed with a lot of beautiful days out this Autumn and today was no exception! Sunny and in the low 50's. Went out early to pick up a few things at the store and then home to do some yard work, that I was able to do. I also took apart the old gas grill. We had since about 2002 so it served it's purpose. It was lot easier taking apart than it was putting it together! For dinner tonight, Lemon-Baked Cod w/ Cauliflower with Cheese, Green Beans, and Baked French Bread.






Picked up some beautiful Cod Fillets at Kroger this morning. So I pulled out a favorite Cod recipe of mine; Lemon-Baked Cod . Cod is such a mild Fish and meant for baking. If you like Cod you’ll love this recipe. You’ll need; 1 lb Cod Fish Fillets, 1/4 cup Blue Bonnet Light Butter, melted, 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice, 1/4 cup all-purpose Flour, 1/2 teaspoon Morton’s Light Salt, 1/8 teaspoon White Pepper, and Paprika. To prepare it mix butter and lemon juice in a bowl. Then in another bowl, mix flour, salt and white pepper. Dip the fish into butter mixture; coat fish with flour mixture and place fish in ungreased square baking dish, 8x8x2 inches. Pour remaining butter mixture over fish; sprinkle with paprika ( You can also sprinkle a bit of Bread Crumbs on it also to give it a bit of a crust topping). Cook uncovered in 350 degree oven until fish flakes easily with fork, 25-30 minutes. Garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon slices if desired. The Cod has such a great flavor to it from the Lemon, Butter, and spices! Had some leftover so I'll make a sandwich with it for lunch tomorrow.






For a side dish I heated up some Green Giant Cauliflower and Cheese Sauce. I'm not a huge fan of Cauliflower but I love it in this Cheese Sauce from Green Giant. It comes frozen in a box with about 3 servings per container. To prepare it just make a small slit in the plastic bag and microwave it for 4-5 minutes. The Cheese Sauce is fantastic on the Cauliflower and it's only 50 calories and 5 net carbs per serving! i also heated up a small can of Walmart Brand of Cut Green Beans and Baked a loaf of Pillsbury Simply Rustic French Bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt.
