Today’s Menu: Fried Okeechobee Crappie w/ Potato Pancakes and Cut Italian Green Beans
For Breakfast this morning I toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin, scrambled 1 medium size Egg, and fried 2 slices of Jennie – O Turkey Bacon. Served it all on the English Muffin. I also had a cup Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. A delicious way to start the day, and healthy! After Breakfast started a load of laundry for Mom. Then outside to finish up some repairs on my Hoveround and also a goo cleaning, which it needed. Everything done so just did a few things around the house. For Dinner tonight I prepared Fried Okeechobee Crappie w/ Potato Pancakes and Cut Italian Green Beans.
I’m down to my last 3 bags of Lake Okeechobee Crappie in the freezer. My Aunt sold her place down on Lake Okeechobee so I probably won’t be having Crappie once this batch is gone. So I laid the last 3 bags in the fridge overnight to thaw, and it’s a Fish Fry for tomorrow! 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 Extra Virgin Olive 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.
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).
For another side I heated a can of Allens Cut Italian Green Beans, our family’s favorite Bean Side. To prepare them just empty the can into a small sauce pan and simmer until heated. I love the taste of these, just season with a bit of Sea Salt and it’s ready! For dessert later a Weight Watcher’s Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bar.

Today’s Menu: Fried Okeechobee Crappie w/ Potato Pancakes, Cut Green Beans, and Cornbread
Very cool out this morning. After I had a light breakfast I went to McDonald’s for mOm and Dad and brought back their breakfast for them before they went to Church. It was in the 30’s here this morning. For the day plenty of sunshine and a high in the low 50’s. Not much going on today so it was the easy chair, remote, and NFL Football for the afternoon. For dinner tonight I prepared Fried Okeechobee Crappie w/ Potato Pancakes, Cut Green Beans, and Cornbread. * I had Hashbrowns instead of the Potato Pancakes.
It’s been too long between Crappie Dinners! So I got in the freezer and grabbed the last three bags of Okeechobee Crappie, or Specks as they call them in Florida, and let them thaw overnight in the fridge. 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 Extra Virgin Olive 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. That is the last bags of Crappie in the freezer, hopefully my cousins will bring me some more in March!
To go with the Crappie 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). I wanted Hashbrowns instead of the Potato Pancakes. I used Simply Potatoes Hashbrowns. 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.
I also baked a small skillet of Martha White Cornbread. Cornbread is something I think I could eat every meal. Nothing better than hot slice of Cornbread with Butter on it. When I make this I just make it by the instructions on the package but I only use half the ingredients because I use a small cast iron skillet to make it. I use Egg Beaters and Extra Virgin Oil instead of Eggs and Vegetable Oil the recipe calls for. Bake at 450 degrees for about 25 minutes and you have some golden brown piping hot Cornbread! If you use a small cast iron skillet just cut the recipe in half and it comes out just right for the skillet size. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Mousse.

Fried Okeechobee Crappie w/ Golden Hominy and Cut Green Beans

Today’s Menu: Fried Okeechobee Crappie w/ Golden Hominy and Cut Green Beans
Had a light Breakfast of 2 Eckrich Smoked Turkey Sausage Breakfast Links and a Healthy Life While Grain Muffin, with my morning Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Did a load of laundry for Mom. Then went to Kroger and picked up a couple of prescriptions for Dad. Came back and got the leaf blower out and cleaned the drive and around the house. Grilled a Ball Park White Turkey Frank for lunch. After lunch a friend of mine called and wanted me to pick her up to go get her car at mechanics. Busy day. For dinner tonight it’s nothing but good! I prepared Fried Okeechobee Crappie w/ Golden Hominy and Cut Green Beans.
As I scanned the freezer last night for something to have for dinner a bag of that Lake Okeechobee Crappie caught my eye right away! So I grabbed a couple of bags and put them in the fridge to thaw overnight. Okeechobee Crappie, or Specks as they call them in Florida are my favorite, just love the taste of them! 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 Extra Virgin Olive 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.
For a side dish I opened up a can of Kroger Brand Golden Hominy. For those that has never had or heard of Hominy; Hominy is a food made from kernels of corn which are soaked in an alkali solution of either lime or lye. The corrosive nature of the solution removes the hull and germ of the corn and causes the grain itself to puff up to about twice its normal size. My favorite is the Golden Hominy. If you’ve never tried it do, makes a good side dish! Then I also heated up a small can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.

For Breakfast I warmed up a piece of the leftover Cubed Pork Steak and served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin and topped it with some Sweet and Hot Stone Ground Mustard.

Not real pleasant out today at all, really humid again and a high pollen count on top of it! Good day to stay in and get some household chores done. For dinner tonight it’s one of my favorites, Okeechobee Crappie. Tonight it’s Fried Okeechobee Crappie w/ Hash Browns and Cut Green Beans.
A while back my Mom’s cousin and her husband brought me my annual supply of Okeechobee Crappie, or Specks as they call them in Florida! I laid a couple of bags out in the fridge overnight to thaw.

Lake Okeechobee Crappie Fishing
The Florida Crappie fishing, speckled perch or speck’ as they are called throughout the State of Florida is the most sort after pan fish on Lake Okeechobee. Although the Florida crappie can be caught during the summer months, they really are at their best from late fall to early spring.
Go Lake Okeechobee freshwater fishing with your family and friends together for an affordable day of Florida crappie fishing on Lake Okeechobee. Lake Okeechobee comprises a 730-square-mile area and is the second-largest natural lake in the U.S., holding more than a trillion gallons of water.
Most fishing takes place along the southeastern, west and north portions of the lake within a mile of the shoreline. Look for hyacinths, hydrilla and other water plants where big bass ambush shiners, bluegills and other scaled groceries. They also pounce on frogs, crickets, worms, grasshoppers and pretty much any fish smaller than itself. Plastic imitations of those baits work well.
You know the deal black crappies speckled perch to most Floridians are about as smart as a dead bird, but fortunately they are a lot more abundant. Stick a minnow in their face, set the hook and start heating up the frying-pan as we say here on Okeechobee.

Today’s Menu: Fried Okeechobee Crappie w/ Canned Green Beans, Fried Potatoes, and Corn Bread
I think Spring may have a foot hold on our weather finally! The Winter that wouldn’t go away has finally did just that, go away. Windy but sunny all day and about 70 degrees, My Mom’s Easter Flowers are up and getting ready to bloom, our neighbors are already in bloom. More rain coming, deal with that when it happens. Got the 4 wheel mobility cart out for a while today. It’s still running good and I think I’ve had now for 5 or 6 years now. My Mom’s cousin and her husband stopped by and brought me 10 big and beautiful bags of Okeechobee Crappie, or Specks as they call them in Florida! I love all Fish and Seafood but these have to be my favorite. So for dinner tonight it’s Fried Okeechobee Crappie w/ Canned Green Beans, Fried Potatoes, and Corn Bread. A Country Style Dinner Feast!
They brought them straight up from Florida sealed and frozen. I laid 2 bags out in the fridge overnight to thaw. 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 usual this year’s batch of Crappie is just as good as previous years. They came out Golden Brown and delicious! I could just eat these fillets for dinner, or any meal, with no sides needed!
For one side I peeled and sliced some Red potatoes up. Seasoned with Morton’s Salt Substitute and ground Black Pepper. Fried them in a Cast Iron Skillet in Canola Oil, fried on medium high and turned with a spatula several times until both sides started browning. I rarely fix Potatoes like this, but I should. The Potatoes come out so delicious prepared this way. Then for another side I heated up a Mason Jar of the canned Green Beans that we had canned back last Summer. They taste as if they were just picked from the garden. I also had a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread but Mom and Dad wanted some Cornbread so I prepared them a small Cast Iron Skillet of Martha White Cornbread. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding topped With a dab of Cool Whip Free.
