Pass the Olive Oil……….
Instead of tossing a pat of butter into your frying pan, try a splash of extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil.

Add the Canola Oil…..
To saute or fry with butter, margarine, or lard, add a small amount of canola oil to raise the smoke point. This will keep the solid fat from breaking down at a higher temperature.

Today’s Menu: Fried Red Snapper w/ Hash Browns and Cut Green Beans
Another cold but sunny day out. Made a Bob Evan’s Pork Sausage Pattie Sandwich for Breakfast this morning, first one I’ve had in quite a while. After Breakfast got a load of laundry started and then a couple of errands for Mom and back home. For dinner tonight Red Snapper! I prepared Fried Red Snapper w/ Hash Browns and Cut Green Beans.
Some good friends of mine just returned from Florida and brought me a few fillets of Red Snapper they caught while down there, it doesn’t get much better! I love Gulf Coast Fish, always such a fresh taste to them. To prepare them, I first rinsed the Snapper off in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel. I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt. Then put the fillet in a Hefty Zip Plastic Bag and added Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Breading Fish Fri. Then shook the bag until the Fillet was well covered, removed from the bag shaking off the excess. I then pan fried it in a Cast Iron Skillet, that I had preheated, in Canola Oil. I fried it skin side down for 4 minutes and then flipped it over to the flesh side and fried it another 3 minutes. Golden brown and nothing but delicious! The fresh taste of the Snapper combined with the Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Breading Fish Fri is a perfect pairing.
For one side I prepared some Simply Potatoes Hash Browns, I always use Simply Potatoes Hash Browns. Fried them in Extra Virgin Olive Oil and seasoned them with Sea Salt, Ground Pepper, and Parsley. I also heated up a can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Yogurt.

Today’s Menu: Fried Okeechobee Crappie w/ Hash Browns and Cut Green Beans
Went out this morning around 6:50 this morning to get the morning papers and it was a bit nippy out! The wind was howling, with snow flurries, and the wind chill made it feel like the mid 20’s. The high is only going up to around 40 but with the wind chill will having it feel like the 30’s. And Winter begins! Did some laundry and settled in for a day of College Football. For dinner tonight Fried Okeechobee Crappie w/ Hash Browns and Cut Green Beans.
I love my Fish, all Fish, but my favorite eating Fish has to be Crappie, Lake Okeechobee Crappie! But my stock of the Crappie has now ran out. Very sad when the year’s supply is gone. So I laid my last 2 bags of the Crappie out of the freezer and in to the fridge overnight to thaw. To start I rinsed the fillets off in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel. I then seasoned them a bit of Sea Salt and then rolled them in Zatarain’s Crispy Southern Fish Fri Breading Mix. Pan fried them in Canola Oil about 3 minutes per side. As always they came out Golden Brown and delicious! It’s hard to even describe how much I love eating Crappie. especially the Lake Okeechobee Crappie. All out of Crappie until next year!
To go with the Crappie I prepared some Hash Browns, Potatoes are perfect with Fish. I always use Simply potatoes Hash Browns. Fried in Extra Virgin Olive Oil and seasoned them with Sea Salt, Ground Pepper, and Parsley. Then I heated up a can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans, Green Beans go well with any meal as far as I’m concerned. Green Beans was my favorite Vegetable growing up even. One fantastic Crappie Meal tonight, but my last for a while. For dessert later a SO Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Milk Mini Ice cream Sandwich, one of my new dessert favorites. Made with Coconut Milk and only 80 calories and 12 net carbs per serving (1 Mini Sandwich).

Today’s Menu: Seasoned Haddock w/ Potato Pancakes and Cut Green Beans
Beautiful Fall Like morning out again, 44 degrees and sunny. Warmed up to about 70, gorgeous outside! i had an early morning check-up at my new Oncologist, real nice guy and should work out great. My old Oncologist retired earlier this year. Came home did a little housework and got the cart out and enjoyed the beautiful day. For dinner tonight I prepared Seasoned Haddock w/ Potato Pancakes and Cut Green Beans.
I had the fillet of Haddock in the freezer so I let it thaw overnight in the fridge. To prepare it I rinsed the fillet in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel. Then sliced the fillet into smaller 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. Shook off the excess and pan fried them in Canola Oil, frying them about 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Haddock and Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Mix, the perfect combo. The more I have Haddock the more I like it. It’s a meaty delicious and mild tasting fish.
For a side dish I made some Potato Pancakes. I used 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). I also heated up a can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans. For dessert later a Healthy Choice dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

Today’s Menu: Bison Sirloin Steak w/ Sauteed Mushrooms, Roasted Asparagus, and Baked Potato
It’s been overcast and a lot cooler out today, high of 71! Went to the store early and picked up a couple of things for dinner and ran an errand for Mom, back home. Got the cart out for a while this afternoon, hadn’t had it out in a while Dad came home yesterday from rehab and is very glad to be back home. He’s having a bit of trouble adjusting back home. At the rehab he was used of pressing a button and having a nurse do everything for him, it’s not going to happen here. He’s very capable to get up do things for himself, plus doing it for himself gets him up and moving, Rehab told us to make him do things and quit sitting around all the time. He’ll be fine though. For my dinner tonight I prepared a Bison Sirloin Steak w/ Sauteed Mushrooms, Roasted Asparagus, and Baked Potato.
I used a Great Range Bison Sirloin. Great Range is a very good Bison Meat. It’s sold here locally at Kroger. I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea salt and Black Peppercorn and pan fried it in Canola Oil, about 4 minutes per side. Medium rare with a nice char on the outside and a little pink and moist and tender inside, love Bison or Buffalo!
For one side I prepared some Sauteed Mushrooms, seasoned with Roasted Cumin, Sea Salt, and Parsley. I also had a Baked Potato and Roasted Asparagus. Then I also had a Baked Potato along with some Kroger Private Selection Handpicked Asparagus Spears. Another microwave side, microwave on high for 5 minutes and they’re ready! Very good side, good to have at hand in the freezer. Comes in a steamable microwave bag, seasoned it with Sea Salt, Pepper, and Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parm Cheese. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Greek Frozen Yogurt.
