Dinner Tonight: Seasoned Gulf Coast Grouper, Baked Clam Strips, and Harvest Vegetables




For Breakfast on this second day of 2017 I'm having a toasted Healthy Life Whole Grain English

Muffin, topped with Smucker's Sugarfree Blackberry Jam, and as every morning, a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. After Breakfast and the morning workout I headed off to Meijer. They had several sale items that we use so I went to cash in on them and I also needed to pick up a couple of packages of Jennie - O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast, I'm making some 3 Bean Turkey Chili sometime this week. Not a bad at all out here today, cloudy but 54 degrees! Back home I did some light cleaning around the house. For Dinner tonight its Seasoned Gulf Coast Grouper, Baked Clam Strips, and Harvest Vegetables.



I love Fish and Seafood, especially this Florida Gulf Coast Grouper my friends keep bringing me

back up from Florida! I had a fillet of it in the freezer, laid it in the fridge overnight to thaw. To prepare the fillets I seasoned them with just a bit of Sea Salt and put the fillets in a Hefty Zip Plastic Bag where I then added the Zatarain’s Seafood Breading Mix Seasoning. Shook until the fillets were well coated. Shook off the excess. Then got the Cast Iron Skillet out, sprayed it with a light coat of Pam Cooking Spray and added a tablespoon of Light Olive Oil. Heated the skillet on medium heat. When the skillet was ready I added the Grouper Fillets, frying about 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Grouper is so meaty and flavorful. Love Fish, Love Seafood!

I used a box of SeaPak Clam Strips. Preheat the oven on 400 degrees. I then lined a baking sheet with foil and sprayed it with a shot of Pam Cooking Spray. Placed the Clam Strips in a single layer on the sheet and baked them for 12 minutes, flipping them over after 7 minutes. These come out so delicious. Love these, very meaty strips, well seasoned, and easy to prepare. Had a side of McCormick’s Tarter Sauce, for dipping.






Then for a side I prepared a package of Pict’sweet Harvest Vegetables with Roasted Red Potatoes and Herb and Garlic Seasoning. Another item that’s easy to prepare. Just microwave them in their steamable bag they come in on high for 5 minutes an d you have some steaming hot delicious vegetables. Pict’sweet has several different vegetable products but this is my favorite. It contains sugar snap peas, carrots and robust roasted red potatoes in a garlic seasoning.






Grouper – Firm texture, white meat with large flake and a mild flavor. Extra lean fish.
