Cracker and Parmesan Crusted Fish Fillets

I love fish but it's something we really don't eat enough of. In an effort to cook more fish, I tried this recipe I had ripped out of a Racheal Ray magazine a few years ago. I have been advised by the family that I can stop looking for other fish recipes. This is the one they like. Cracker and Parmesan Crusted Fish Fillets 1 cup oyster crackers* 1/3 cup Ritz crackers (a generous handful) 3/4 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese 1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves 3 tablespoons chopped …

Mussels Dijonnaise

By //  by Candace Sampson 5 Comments

When my husband and I were in NYC two years ago, we ate at a restaurant called Rue 57. We ordered the Mussels Dijonnaise and practically fought each other for the last mussel, they were that good. When we got home we scoured the net for a recipe that would come close. We ended up mixing a couple together. Now, sometimes on a Friday night, instead of ordering a pizza we make a mess of mussels, cut up a French baquette and reminisce about New York City. Mussels Dijonnaise 2 tbsps …

Sole Food

By //  by Candace Sampson 2 Comments

I love sole. It's such a light, delicate fish and it cooks super fast. Plus, fish is brain food. That's what my dad always told me anyway. Try it. Give your kids a spelling test after dinner. Mississippi is always fun. Pan Fried Sole 4 six-ounce fillets of sole 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 tbsps Old Bay Seasoning 2 large eggs 1 cup panko bread crumbs 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 2 tbsps fresh thyme leaves Zest of one lemon Preheat the oven to 250F.
