Today’s Menu: Catfish Nuggets w/ Fried Potatoes, Cut Green Beans, and Cast Iron Skillet Baked Cornbread
To start this Morning off I toasted a Thomas Light English Muffin and topped it with Smucker’s Sugar Free Blackberry Jam, also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. One HOT day out there 
today, it was 98 degrees at 5:00 this afternoon. Anyway I went to Kroger after Breakfast, at least around here the stores are having less and less items on the shelves. The Meat department had a good selection as the Dairy Department but canned goods and frozen foods were really low! Too hot to be out there today for me. For Dinner tonight its Catfish Nuggets w/ Fried Potatoes, Cut Green Beans, and Cast Iron Skillet Baked Cornbread.
I had purchased the Catfish Nuggets from Kroger earlier today. 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.
For one side we had Fried Potatoes! I’ve loved these all my life! I bought a bag of Medium Size Red Potatoes, which we’ll be using. To prepare them; first wash the Whole Potatoes and dry with a 
paper towel. Next grab a Cast Iron Skillet and add 1 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil and heat the Skillet on high.
With the skillet heated add the Potatoes. After adding the Potatoes add your Seasoning, we just used Salt and Pepper. Then fry until the Potatoes start to turn brown. Then flip them with a spatula
and continue frying until done. I love these Potatoes and they are so easy to prepare.
I also heated up a can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans. Then made a small Cast Iron Skillet of Cornbread, for Mom, using Martha White White Corn Meal. Made this for Mom, she could 
have Cornbread with every meal What a meal Catfish, Fried Potatoes, Green Beans, and Corn Bread. Then for Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Sticks with a Sprite Zero to drink.
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

No recipe this week but with the grilling season in full gear I’m passing along BISON STEAK – BASIC COOKING INSTRUCTIONS along with GROUND BISON – BASIC COOKING INSTRUCTIONS. Just follow these excellent suggestions and instructions to get the most out of your cuts of Buffalo. And if you’re having Buffalo use the best, the Wild Idea Buffalo. At the Wild Idea Buffalo website you’ll find a full selection of Buffalo cuts of meat along with Seasonings, Books, the Ranch Gift Store and Pet Food and Treats. So be sure to check it out! https://wildideabuffalo.com/
BISON STEAK – BASIC COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
A note from Jill: The ingredients of Wild Idea Buffalo Meat are simple: fresh water, native grass and sunshine, producing a naturally delicious, healthy, and sustainable red meat. Wild Idea Buffalo steaks are tender, with a rich, slightly sweet taste and are very user friendly. Because Wild Idea Buffalo steaks are naturally lean, we recommend that you cook them no more than medium. I have broken the cooking suggestions down per cut, followed by grilling/searing instructions.
Gas Grilling: Ensure the grill grate is clean. Preheat the grill to high heat, 500° and close the lid. Brush the grill grate with oil. Place prepared steaks on the grill, close grill lid during grilling and follow cooking times below. Remove the steak from the grill, place on a plate, cover with foil and let the steak rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Char Grilling: Ensure the grill grate is clean. Pile coals high in the center, light and allow the coals to become white, for best heat. Using tongs spread coals around evenly. Oil grill grate and place low and close to coals. Place prepared steaks on the grill, close grill lid during grilling and follow cooking times below. Remove the steak from the grill, place on plate and rest as above.
Pan Searing: Heat seasoned (rubbed with oil) cast iron skillet over medium high heat and allow pan to become very hot. Place prepared steaks in the hot pan and follow cooking times below. Remove steak from pan and place on plate. Cover tightly with foil and let steak rest for 5 minutes.
Steak Cooking Times
The length of the cooking time depends on the thickness of the steak. Turn the steaks after 1½ minutes and repeat until cooking time/desired doneness is achieved.
*1/2” thick or for 5 & 6 oz. sized steaks: 2 minutes each side for medium rare.
*1” thick: 3 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side for medium rare.
*1½” thick: 4 minutes for the first side and 3 minutes on the second side for medium rare.
*For thicker cuts: Increase cooking time by 1 minute per half inch per side for medium rare.
Temperature Guide
Internal temperatures of meat, before resting:
Rare – 125 degrees / Medium Rare – 135 degrees / Medium – 145 degrees.
Other Cooking Tips
Resting and Freezing:
If you have the time, this little trick does make for a plumper, slightly juicier steak. After resting the steaks for two hours prior to cooking, place the steaks in the freezer for 20 to 40 minutes before grilling. This allows the steaks outside and inside to cook at a more even rate. Follow the cooking instructions as listed based on the steaks thickness and the freezer time noted below. After cooking, cover the steaks and rest at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
Freezer Time Guide: 10 minutes = smaller steaks, 20 minutes = medium steaks and 25 minutes = large steaks.
https://wildideabuffalo.com/blogs/recipes/bison-steak-basic-cooking-instructions
GROUND BISON – BASIC COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Grilling: Cooking meat over hot coals or high gas fire. For best results, grill grate should always be clean and positioned close to heat. Inside grill temperature desired 500°. Recommend closing the grill lid during grilling time.
Pan Searing / Pan Frying: Cooking meat in an oil rubbed heavy skillet, uncovered over medium high heat to high heat.
Sautéing: Cooking meat quickly, in a small amount of oil or fat over medium high to high heat. If browning meat, sauté in small batches for best results.
Broiling: Cooking meat in the oven on broil. Second rack placement is best.
Baking: Cooking in oven at 325° to 375°. This method would be used for meatloaves and casseroles.

Grilled Beef and Ham on Wheat Bun w/ Baked Fingerling Potatoes

Today’s Menu: Grilled Beef and Ham on Wheat Bun w/ Baked Fingerling Potatoes
For Breakfast this morning I prepared a Skillet Diced Potatoes and Ham for Breakfast. I used 1 package of Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes and a package of Meijer Diced 
Ham to prepare it. Just cook the Potatoes according to the package instructions and with about 5 minutes of cooking time left add the Diced Ham. I topped it with a sprinkle of Sargento Off the Block Sharp Cheddar Cheese. I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea.
It’s 90 degrees, humid, and passing rain showers. Lately it seems if one health related thing isn’t bothering me another one is! Last night around 11:00 I started getting Phantom Pains. It was one
rough and long night, with little or no sleep. The Pains finally eased up around 10:00 this morning but the damage was done. I was so tired and just drained from the pain I spent most of the day catching up on sleep. I so wish there was a cure for Phantom Pains, but there is not! Maybe one day but until that happens thousands if not more suffer from this. So for Dinner tonight I prepared a Grilled Beef and Ham on Wheat Bun w/ Baked Fingerling Potatoes.
So tonight I prepared a Grilled Beef and Ham on Wheat Bun. To make my Sandwich I’ll be needing; For the Meat I used Kroger Brand Private Selection Rare Sliced Roast Beef and Kroger Brand 
Private Selection Honey Ham then for the Cheese Kraft Deli Style Sharp Cheddar Cheese, all served on a Healthy Life Wheat Bun.
I’m using my small Flat Cast Iron Griddle. I love this Griddle, it has 2 sides one a flat surface and the other side with a grate. I heated up the flat surface side on medium heat, spraying it with Pam 
Non Stick Spray. With the Pan heated I added the Meat. I had small handful of the Roast Beef and Ham. I made 2 stacks, one Roast Beef and the other the Ham. I smashed the piles down with the spatula and flipped each stack. After about 3 minutes I took the Ham pile and placed it on top of the Beef. I then added a slice of Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Next I added both halves of the Bun, bottom side down on the pan to heat the buns a bit.
I flipped the bottom half bun over and placed Roast Beef/Ham on top of it and removed it from the pan. I then topped the Sandwich with some Emeril’s Deli Style Mustard. Love this Mustard, 
fantastic flavor! This really made one delicious Sandwich! Roast Beef and the Ham are perfect together.
As my Sandwich was grilling I had preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Then for a side I prepared some Roasted Fingerling Potatoes. I purchased these at Jungle Jim’s. To start I first washed the 
Potatoes off in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel. I then cut the Fingerling Potatoes in half, lengthwise. Put the Potatoes in a large bowl seasoned them with; Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Garlic Powder, Sea Salt, Pepper, Chili Powder, and Kraft Reduced Fat Parmesan Grated Cheese to top the Potatoes with. Using a cookie sheet lined with foil I spread the Potatoes out on the sheet . Then Roasted them at 425 degrees until they were fork tender, about 20 minutes. I love Fingerling Potatoes, probably my favorite Potato. Just love how easy they cook up and taste. Excellent Meal with the Sandwich and Baked Potato Wedges! For Dessert tonight I’m having a bowl of Breyer’s Carb Smart Chocolate Ice Cream.
Emeril’s® New York Deli Style Mustard
The subtle boldness of this recipe captures the authentic taste of mustards served in New York delis. A very flavorful spice blend that’s kicked up just right. The color and consistency using coarse-ground mustard seed are perfect. A superior sandwich mustard, true to the name New York Deli Style.

Today’s Menu: Smoked Turkey Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo and Baked Garlic Loaf Bread
Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast this morning. Not a nice day out there today! 90 degrees and extremely humid. So not a thing going on today outside. I took the trash out a 
couple of times, moved the garbage cans down to the street (Garbage Day tomorrow), and watered my Pepper Plants. Besides that I stayed in all day. For Dinner tonight the Delicious Leftovers from last night, Smoked Turkey Sausage and Crawfish Gumbo and Baked Garlic Loaf Bread. Just reheated the Gumbo on low and served the Bread. I never let Leftover Gumbo go to waste! I’ve left last night’s post below for description and recipe. Enjoy and Stay Safe Everyone!
I love Gumbo and Cajun Cuisine, looking forward to this meal tonight! So for Dinner tonight I’m preparing a Smoked Turkey Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo. Using the Zatrain’s Gumbo Mix, 
Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage, and a bag of Crawfish Tails. Add all together and I’ve one Delicious Meal coming! I had purchased a couple of 1lb. packages of frozen Cooked Crawfish Tails from Jungle Jim’s International Market in Fairfield. I had them in the freezer and I took 1 of the packages and sat it in the fridge to thaw overnight. I love Crawfish Tails, just don’t use them often.
To prepare it I got a large saucepan and sprayed it with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray. Then added 6 cups of Water, bite sized sliced 1 1/2 Sausages of the Butterball Smoked Turkey Sausage, and 
the Gumbo Mix. Mixed until well blended together. I brought it to a boil; covered and simmered for 25 minutes.
Next as the Gumbo was cooking I got the Crawfish Tails out of the fridge washed then and let then drain in a colander. Then with 5 minutes of cooking time left I added the Crawfish to the 
Gumbo, stirring again until well mixed. Continued for 15 minutes. Removed the pot from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes before serving.
This made one excellent Gumbo Dish! The Mix itself was flavored perfect, spicy but not overpowering. Then with the added Sausage and Crawfish Tail, it just capped everything off! I added a few shakes of Frank’s Hot Sauce to the Dish also. Lots of delicious leftovers! Just a word on the Crawfish, it was delicious! I’ll have to use it more often, much more often! The added Crawfish Tails adds just a hint of sweetness to the dish. Also, and don’t get me wrong, I love Shrimp but the Crawfish maybe be a better fit for the Gumbo than Shrimp. Whether it’s made with Shrimp or Crawfish, It is flat out Delicious! Leftovers are coming soon!
Then I also baked a loaf of La Baguette Roasted Garlic Oval Bread. Perfect Bread for Gumbo. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.
ZATARAIN’S® GUMBO MIX WITH RICE
In New Orleans, there are as many different varieties of gumbo as there are people who make it. Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix with Rice is a flavorful foundation, making it easy to create classics like 
shrimp and okra or chicken and sausage gumbo – or to invent a new signature gumbo of your own!
Gumbo is the quintessential dish of New Orleans, a city of diverse influences that formed a new culture greater than the sum of its parts. Those same influences are reflected in every bowl of gumbo. The dish is a rich and flavorful melting pot, just like its hometown.
Gumbo can be prepared with your choice of 1 lb. of cooked chicken, smoked sausage or seafood, cut into bite-size pieces.
STOVE TOP DIRECTIONS
1. MIX 6 cups water and Gumbo Mix in 4-quart saucepan until well blended.
2. For Chicken or Sausage Gumbo: Stir in chicken or sausage. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 25 minutes or until rice is tender.
For Seafood Gumbo: Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in seafood. Cover and simmer 10 minutes longer or until rice is tender.

Crawfish
Crawfish are usually less tough and more subtle compared to shrimp, and the taste can more accurately be described as a combination of crab and shrimp. Crawfish has a sweet taste with a little bit of salt and mineral flavor.
Crawfish also contain a good amount of B vitamins, as well as iron and selenium — important minerals that can be hard to get through your diet. The only drawback to crawfish is that they do contain some dietary cholesterol. But ultimately, crawfish are an overall healthy source of protein.
