Catfish Nuggets w/ Potato Pancakes and Cut Green Beans

Dinner Tonight: Catfish Nuggets w/ Potato Pancakes and Cut Green Beans





For Breakfast this morning I fried up a package of Thin Cut Breakfast Pork Chops. I purchased these at Meijer. I had been wanting something different and I saw the Chops. So I seasoned them with Sea

Slat and Ground Black Pepper and then put a light coat of flour on them. I sprayed a large skillet Pam Cooking Spray and added a 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil. Fried them on medium heat for 2 minutes per side, and done! To go with the Chops I fried some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, Scrambled some Eggs, and toasted slices of Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread. I skipped the Eggs, they were for Mom and Dad. Cloudy and 65 degrees today, rain moved in later in the day. After Lunch I went to a Medical service Warehouse and picked up a wheel chair for Dad. He really needed this. Back home just did some odds and ends jobs around the house. For Dinner tonight one of my favorites, Catfish Nuggets w/ Potato Pancakes and Cut Green Beans.



Picked up the Catfish Nuggets at Meijer yesterday. To prepare them I rinsed the Catfish Nuggets off in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel. Seasoned them with Sea Salt. Then put them in a Hefty Plastic Storage Bag and added Zatarain’s Crispy Southern Fish Fri Breading Mix, shook the bag until all the Nuggets were coated. Then pan fried them in a medium size skillet in Extra Light Olive Oil. Fried each side about 3 1/2 minutes, until a golden brown. The Zatarain’s Crispy Southern Fish Fri is perfect for the Catfish, great flavor and the Nuggets were good size and meaty. You can bake Catfish but for me you just can’t beat fried Catfish.



The whole family love’s Potato Pancakes! So for a side I prepared some Manischewitz Potato
Pancake Mix, my favorite (Never made a cake I didn’t like!). Just add 2 Egg Beater’s (1/2 Cup), 2 1/4 Cups Water, to the mix stir and fry! Easy and makes one good Potato Pancake and their only 80 calories and 18 carbs per serving (3 Potato Pancakes).








Next I heated up a can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans. Just open the can and heat the beans up in a small sauce pan. The Beans are done! I also baked a loaf of Pillsbury French Bread, Mom has to have Bread with every meal. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Catfish

The most commonly eaten species in the United States are the channel catfish and the blue catfish, both of which are common in the wild and increasingly widely farmed. Farm-raised catfish became such a staple of the diet of the United States that on 25 June 1987, President Ronald Reagan established National Catfish Day to recognize “the value of farm-raised catfish.”

Catfish is eaten in a variety of ways. In Europe it is often cooked in similar ways to carp, but in the United States it is popularly crumbled with cornmeal and fried.… Wikipedia
