Catfish Nuggets w/ Roasted Red Potatoes with Rosemary and Macc and Cheese

Dinner Tonight: Fried Catfish Nuggets w/ Roasted Red Potatoes with Rosemary and Mac and Cheese









Well if we get this big snow coming in that they say we may get Tuesday and Wednesday at least some of what we already have on the ground will be gone. In the 40's yesterday and near 50 today, a heat wave I tell you! The storm coming in is either going to be mostly rain or we're going to get one of the bigger snows in quite sometime, possible 12"-15" of snow! But it's a long time between now and Tuesday so we'll see. I seen where Meijer had Catfish Nuggets on sale so I went there early this morning and picked some up for dinner and then to Kroger who had Ice Salt on sale and picked up a 20 lb. bag of that, just in case. For dinner tonight I prepared Fried Catfish Nuggets w/ Roasted Red Potatoes with Rosemary and Mac and Cheese.

Gave the Catfish Nuggets a good cleaning to start and seasoned them with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper. 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. Pan fried them in a medium size skillet in Canola 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 wer good size and meaty.








For one side I made Roasted Red Potatoes with Rosemary. Love those potatoes and love this recipe also! A real simple one to prepare. You’ll need 6 to 8 small red potatoes, quartered into 1/2-inch pieces, 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. To prepare it preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Then combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss to coat potatoes. Transfer potatoes to a large baking sheet or shallow roasting pan. Roast 25 to 30 minutes, until tender and golden. Then for another side, for my parents, I heat up some Bob Evan's Mac and Cheese. By far the best premade Mac and Cheese there is in my opinion. Delicious Down Home Dinner tonight! For dessert later a Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunk Cup.

Seasoned Fried Haddock w/ Macaroni and Cheese and French Bread

Dinner Tonight: Seasoned Fried Haddock w/ Macaroni and Cheese and French Bread

Beautiful outside and spent most of it at a local County Park, Winton Woods. It's located in the neighboring County, Hamilton County. It's the largest County Park around. A good size lake and some beautiful scenery. Another 2 or 3 weeks and the leaves will have turned colors and it will be a gorgeous site. For dinner I prepared a Seasoned Fried Haddock w/ Macaroni and Cheese and French Bread.






Love that Haddock that I’ve been buying from our local Kroger Seafood Department. To prepare it I rinsed the fillet in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel. Then sliced the fillet into four pieces. I then seasoned it 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. I then pan fried them in Canola Oil, frying them about 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Delicious! Haddock and Zatarain’s is a perfect combo!






I had been craving some Macaroni and Cheese for some time now. So for a side I heated up an individual cup of Bob Evan's Macaroni and Cheese. Just microwave for 1 1/2 minutes and you have your Mac. First time I tried the Bob Evan's Mac and Cheese and was very pleased with it. Excellent Cheesy flavor and the Pasta was spot on, Good job there Bob! I baked a loaf of Pillsbury Rustic French Bread also. For dessert/snack tonight some Cheese and Crackers! Bought some Boar's Head Colby Longhorn Cheese, at Jungle Jim's Market, and served it on some Ritz Whole Grain Crackers. My favorite pair of sweat pants, t-shirt, remote, and in my favorite chair, it's going to be a good night!
