Today’s Menu: Lemon Pepper Seasoned Ocean Perch w/ Mac and Cheese and French Bread
Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast this morning, not hungry this morning. Dealing with allergies again! Everyone seems to be dealing with it this year. Nothing seems to work to get it to ease up but rest and quiet. So that was my day today. Mostly sunny, humid and a high of 90 out today. For Dinner tonight its Lemon Pepper Seasoned Ocean Perch w/ Mac and Cheese and French Bread.
I wanted something light and easy to prepare for Dinner tonight. So I had bought a small package of Lemon Pepper Seasoned Ocean Perch from Kroger yesterday and I’m having it tonight.
Its Wild Caught Ocean Perch and it comes seasoned with a Lemon Pepper Blend Seasoning. There’s a little over 1/2 a pound of the Fillets and they came packaged in a ready bake tin pan. I decided to pan fry them instead. I used a medium size skillet. Heated the skillet on medium heat and added a tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil. Added the Perch and fried them for 2 minutes. Flipped them over and continued to cook them for 2 minutes and they were done. The fillets were not that big but big enough for a light Dinner. The seasoning was perfect and they cooked up perfect.
For a side I prepared I microwaved Stouffer’s Classic Mac and Cheese Mac Cup. Frozen individual Mac Cups, just microwave and serve. Mac and Cheese in a single serving cup! Tastes great, excellent Cheesy Mac. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.
Ocean Perch
Ocean perch is mild tasting yet a bit sweet, with a moderately firm texture. The meat is lean, moist and flaky. Large ocean perch develop a coarse texture. Deep-skinned ocean perch with the fat line removed has the most delicate flavor. The flesh is white, though not as light as cod, and it turns opaque white when cooked.Whole fish may have bulging eyes and distended air bladders, which is a result of being brought up from great depths, not an indication of poor quality.

Today’s Menu: Baked Chicken Thighs w/ Asparagus Medley, Rice, and Baked Harvest Grain Bread
I laid 3 Chicken Thighs in the fridge overnight to thaw. I’ve been wanting some Chicken Thighs so tonight I prepared Baked Chicken Thighs w/ Asparagus Medley, Rice, and Baked Harvest Grain Bread.
To prepare the Chicken Thighs I placed them in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. You can sprinkle the chicken thighs with whatever seasonings you like such as Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, thyme or rosemary and garlic, I used Rosemary, Thyme, Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper, and Garlic Powder. Covered with foil and baked for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F. Then removed the foil and continued cooking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken thigh reached 165 degrees F. Good, simple, and quick way to prepare some tasty Chicken Thighs.
For a side dish to go with my Chicken Thighs I prepared a new dish, Asparagus Medley. Nothing but good things in this one! It’s got Asparagus (Trimmed), 2 Sweet Peppers (Red or Yellow) Julienned, 1/4 cup fresh sliced Mushrooms, 1/2 small can of Sliced Black Olives (Drained), 1/2 Garlic Clove (Minced), 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1/4 tsp. Minced fresh Parsley, and seasoned with Sea Salt, Pepper, Lemon-Pepper, and Dill Weed to taste. You know me the easier to prepare the better and this one is easy! In a bowl add and combine the vegetables, Olives, and Garlic, drizzle with Oil and toss to coat. Then sprinkle with the Parsley, Salt, Pepper, Lemon- Pepper, and Dill Weed; to taste. Then just Saute in a skillet or wok over medium heat until all vegetables are crisp tender; and serve. This turned out to be one fine and healthy side dish! The Asparagus was nice and crisp, the Peppers added great flavor and crunch, and the seasoning was spot on. Good Keeper recipe.
I also baked a Loaf of Kroger Bakery Harvest Grain Bread. For dessert later a Dole Mini Banana and perhaps some Apple Slices.

1/4 lb. Asparagus, Trimmed
2 Sweet Peppers (Red or Yellow), Julienned
1/4 cup fresh sliced Mushrooms
1/2 small can of Sliced Black Olives (Drained)
1/2 Garlic Clove, Minced

Another cold day around here again but it’s predicted to be a little warmer over the weekend, but rain. Well for dinner I made another sandwich with sides for dinner,Fried Panko Coated Sandwich w/ Baked Seasoned Potato Grillers.

Today’s Menu: Fried Panko Crusted Cod w/ Fresh Cut Baked Fingerling Potato Wedges and Pasta Salad
If you love Fish as much as I do you have to try this recipe! This makes one of the best Fish Sandwiches you’ll ever have. I layed out one of those great tasting Cod Fillets to thaw out. I rinsed the fillet off and rolled it in Flour then dipping it into Egg Beater’s, shaking off the excess. Then rolling the fillet in a Panko Bread Crumbs, Onion Powder, Lemon Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Paprika mix until covered on both sides of the fillets. I then lightly fried it about 4 minutes per side in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Golden brown and delicious! Served on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun. You can add Cheese or Tarter Sauce but Why, this is just too good natural. There’s even going to be some tasty leftovers for lunch tomorrow! The recipe is at the end of the post.
For sides I sliced up Fingerling Potatoes into Fries. I seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. Baked them at 400 degrees until they were done and golden brown, about minutes. I also tried a new side Betty Crocker Suddenly Pasta Salad – Basil Pesto. It was real easy to prepare. Quick and easy and quite good the only thing I didn’t like it was a tad high in salt. I left the instructions and nutrition info at the bottom of the post. For dessert later I tried a new dessert I found in the latest issue of Kraft Family Foods, Mango-Cheesecake Parfait. I’ll leave the recipe on a separate post. Mango, Philly Cheese, Vanilla Pudding, and Cool Whip what’s not to like!

Suddenly Pasta Salad – Basil Pesto
To make the basil pesto salad, you simply need water to boil the pasta and one-third cup water mixed with two tablespoons of olive oil to make the seasoning that coats the pasta. The instructions direct the cook to boil the pasta in a 3-quart or larger saucepan that is filled about two-thirds of the way with water. Gently boil the penne pasta, uncovered for about thirteen minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, add two tablespoons of olive oil to one-third cup of water and stir in the packet of seasoning mix. The instructions warn to use cold water but I have used room temperature and have never seen a difference in taste or texture. Set this mixture aside. When the pasta is cooked, drain the water and pour into a bowl or container. Stir in the seasoning mixture and toss to coat the pasta thoroughly. The box instructions state that chopped tomato can be added in for additional flavor.I alsio added sliced Black Olives. It also suggests for moister salad to add in a couple more teaspoons of olive oil
