Yesterday was the first time I ever tried to write up a recipe, which was done in contribution for a fund-raising book. Since the only recipe threads are in this section, I thought I would paste it here.

Cajun Catfish

​

2 pounds catfish filets (approx.; and the sauce is better with filets than “nuggets”)
1 6 oz. can tomato paste
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (more for a thinner sauce)
½ teaspoon thyme leaves
½ teaspoon parsley flakes
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon lemon pepper
¼ teaspoon onion salt
A touch of cayenne pepper (optional; and no more than a touch unless you’re braver than I am)
Grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine tomato paste with vegetable oil until well-mixed.
Mix in thyme, parsley, salts, and peppers.
Place catfish filets in pan with a thin layer of no-stick spray.
Spread sauce evenly on filets.
Top filets with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake filets about 25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and filet is easily forkable.

 

Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings

Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings
10-12 chicken wings (cut off tips for soup stock)
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 egg
Dip chicken in beaten egg, then in cornstarch mix. In a frying pan,
brown wings in oil. Cover with sauce and bake 40 minutes at 375
degrees.

Sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup vinegar

1 tsp. accent or seasoning salt

wings.

I made this Food Network recipe for dinner tonight and we loved it. I did make some alterations though, so I'll list those in red.

Turkey and Wild Mushroom Meat Loaf Patties with Pan Gravy - Rachel Ray
Note: clean mushrooms with a damp cloth. Do not run directly under water.

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan for the mushrooms, 1 turn for the patties
I used less in a non stick skillet
8 cremini mushrooms, (baby portobellos), chopped
8 shiitake mushrooms, chopped
I only like button mushrooms and din't have fresh, so I used 1/2 can of well drain mushroom

1 shallot, chopped 1/2 a small onion, cheaper
Salt and pepper
1 1/3 pounds ground turkey, the average weight of 1 package
I used a 1 pound roll, and we had a little left over, so the recipe is more then we need
3 or 4 sprigs fresh sage, leaves chopped, about 2 tablespoons used dried
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it didn't have any keep forgetting to buy it
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add chopped mushrooms and shallots and season with salt and pepper. Saute mushrooms 5 or 6 minutes until dark and tender. Remove from heat. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and return pan to stove top to preheat to cook patties.
Add turkey to the mushroom mixture. Make a well in the center of the meat. Add sage, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs and beaten egg and season with salt and pepper. Mix turkey meat loaf and make a small 1-inch patty. Place meat in the hot pan and cook 1 minute on each side. Taste the mini patty to help you adjust seasonings. Divide meat loaf mixture into 4 equal parts by scoring the meat before you form patties. Form 4 equal oval patties 1 inch thick. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and arrange patties in the skillet. Cook 6 minutes on each side and transfer to a serving plate or individual dinner plates. Return pan to heat and add butter. When butter melts, whisk in flour and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in stock and season gravy with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer gravy until it reaches desired thickness, and pour over patties, reserving a little to pass at the table.

 

I am posting the regular recipe, but I am also posting (in red) the changes I made in the ingredients to make the recipe diabetic and heart/healthy.

5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

INGREDIENTS:

4 TBLS cake flour (not self-rising) (whole wheat flour)
4 TBLS sugar (Splenda)
2 TBLS baking cocoa (unsweetened cocoa)
1 egg (egg beaters)
3 TBLS milk (skim milk)
3 TBLS oil (Canola oil)
3 TBLS chocolate chips (optional) (did not use)

1 small splash vanilla
1 coffee mug

DIRECTIONS:

Put dry ingredients in mug and mix well.
Add egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in milk and oil and mix well.
Microwave for 3 minutes (or 2½ minutes depending on mug size) on HIGH.

The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!

Allow to cool a little and tip out onto a plate if desired.
(I tipped mine into a bowl and topped it with sugar-free ice cream.)

Eat and enjoy!

 

sounds good to me, a keeper for sure, thanks Sue.

 

I just made me one up for my afternoon snack. I took a picture of the mug (it never goes over the top). I should have wiped the excess away. The mug was clean. Honest. LOL

In the Mug:


On a saucer:


It really doesn't need any icing. It is fine just the way it is and it is so quick to make! I love it!

 

Sue, we are definately going to like this, and I hate icing anyway.
