Panko Crusted Cod Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Today’s Menu: Panko Crusted Cod Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast. Partly cloudy, humid and 88 degrees, rain moving in later tonight. Much needed rain. Everything is so dry out, the grass is turning brown. Right after my Tea I went to Menard’s. I picked up a few items I needed. Back home I finished touching up the shutters up with black paint. Later I got the leaf blower out and cleaned off the deck and driveway areas. So for dinner tonight I prepared a Panko Crusted Cod Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Crinkle Fries.

I had purchased the Cod from Kroger and had it in the freezer. I laid the Cod in the fridge to thaw overnight. To prepare the Cod I rinsed the fillet off with cold water and patted dry. I then cut the fillet in half. Then seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. Combined the flour and both Garlic Powder and Onion powder then press both sides of fillet into flour for a light dusting , shaking off any excess flour. Dipped the floured fillets into the Paprika seasoned Egg Beater’s, allowing excess to drip off. Placed the fillets, one at a time, in Panko Bread Crumbs, and lightly toss the fillets until both sides are covered. Meanwhile, heated the Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a skillet and placed the fillets in and cooked 3 minutes each side. Served on a Healthy Life Wheat Burger Bun. I love making Fish Sandwiches with Cod and the Panko Bread Crumbs. Cod cooks up great no matter how you prepare it. Plus it’s a very meaty Fish.

I also baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries, served with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup for dipping. For Dessert later a 90 Calorie Mini Cup of Breyer’s Vanilla Ice Cream Cup.

Today’s Menu: Ground Chicken Cheddar Burger on English Muffin w/ Shredded Hash Browns

For Breakfast this morning I Scrambled a couple of Eggs, heated up 2 Johnsonville Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, toasted a couple of slices of Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Wheat Bread, and had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Good Breakfast! It’s heating up out there, 90 degrees and high humidity. Did some yard work early before it got too humid out. Later I took Mom’s car out and had it washed and I vacuumed the inside. Not much going on after that. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Ground Chicken Cheddar Burger on English Muffin w/ Shredded Hash Browns.

To start I made my Chicken Burger patties. To prepare them, in a large bowl, combine Ground Chicken, Ground Cumin, Paprika, Garlic Powder, Dried Oregano, Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, and Italian Style Bread Crumbs. The Seasonings amount are to taste and 2 tablespoons of the Italian Style Bread Crumbs. Make a little depression with your thumb in the center of each burger so they cook evenly. Divide the mixture into 4 patties. I prepared 2 of the Burgers and froze the other 2.

I first toasted a Thomas Light English Muffin. Next In a Cast Iron Skillet over medium heat, I heat 1 tablespoon of Cooking Olive Oil. Added the Burger patties and cook, flipping once, until golden and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 165°, 6 to 8 minutes each side. Top with a slice of Hoffman’s Super Sharp Cheddar and cook until just started melting, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer patties to a plate. Served on a Thomas Light English Muffin and top with some Hellman’s Chipotle Mayo.

Then for a side I prepared some Simply Potatoes Hash Browns. Fried in Cooking Olive Oil and seasoned them with Sargento Shredded Cheese Sea Salt, Ground Pepper, and Parsley. I love Hash Browns, they make the perfect side for any Dish! Very good Meal. For Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s Pretzels with a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.

Smart Ground Chicken
Ground chicken is a healthy start for any meal since one serving (100 grams, or about 3 ounces) meets one’s protein needs for a nutritious meal – plus it’s lower in calories and fat than many meat sources. Lean ground chicken is high in protein and offers less saturated fat than ground beef.
