Fish Fillets with Stuffing

Friday dinner in lent usually means fish, so I decided to pull out a recipe from this cookbook to do just the trick. This one in particular, seemed intriguing because I had never even thought to have stuffing with fish. Let alone fish fillets stuffed with stuffing.

I will say that I cut some corners on this recipe, mostly because I wanted to keep the cost down as much as possible. So I bought a box of stove top for the stuffing rather than all the ingredients listed in this recipe. One day, I’ll make this per the recipe though because it sounds delicious with mushrooms and onions.
The one thing I found weird about this recipe is that it’s being cooked in the microwave. I’ve never made fish in the microwave so I was a little wary of this. But I think the fish cooked just fine in there and was very delicious with the paprika sprinkled on top. I had some troubles “stuffing” the fish (really just putting the stuffing between two fillet halves), but I think that’s because I cooked the stuffing beforehand rather than WITH the fish in the microwave. Overall, I liked this and will make it again for another Friday night Lent dinner… or just a regular friday night dinner.

Cajun Beef Burgers

This is the first time that I've ever put together my own patties out of ground beef. I don't think I did a bad job, I also don't think I did an excellent job either. Apparently, next time I should put an egg in there. This is also the first time (I'm pretty sure) that I've had a burger with stuff inside. This recipe has onions, celery, and carrots mixed into the patties. And it was delicious. I would say my favorite part of this recipe though is the cajun mayonnaise sauce that it calls for. It really makes the burger! It also helps that mayo is pretty much my favorite condiment for burgers. Oh and
the onion rolls. I wasn't sure I'd be able to find these at Shop n Save, but thank goodness I did. They were delicious, though a tad big for the size of the patties I sculpted. I'm going to have to give this recipe a thumbs up for sure and I'd definitely make it again.

BBQ Sauce with Mustard

Okay, quite a few firsts for this post. I've never worked with molasses before. And let me say, I am not a fan. It got everywhere, pretty much like honey (at least when I work with honey it gets everywhere). The sauce though turned out good. The molasses gave it a distinct taste that I am not used to for typical BBQ sauces - I'm not a fan of typical BBQ sauces (except for maybe the Kansas City one from Bandana's). It was easy to make and luckily I had this awesome dressing container to store it in. I'm glad that it will last a few months because I'm sure there is no way me
or anyone else could have gotten through all that in a shorter amount of time - I even halved the recipe! I'm going to give this recipe a thumbs up also and am excited to try some of the other BBQ sauce recipes that I saw in this cookbook.

Creamy Succotash

Not gonna lie, I've never heard of succotash before, but the ingredients listed didn't sound half bad. It was fairly easy to make - though I wasn't a fan of boiling 3/4 cup of water with 3 cups of lima beans, it turned out just fine. The end result was amazing. I'd have to say this may be one of my new favorite side dishes. It was creamy (well, duh) and colorful so I'm sure it's a little bit healthy at least. I'm definitely going to make this again, especially for a summer barbecue or party. Thumbs up!

Broiled Cod

Well this was just the easiest cod recipe I've ever used. Marinated in Italian dressing and spices, then broiled for a short amount of time. And it came out hot, flaky, and perfect for fish. I should have discovered this recipe at the beginning of Lent huh? Speaking of Lent, can you believe it's already Easter? Wow just wow. Okay, back to the recipe. I'm going to have to give this a thumbs up, the flavor was good and it was extremely easy. I'd recommend it, especially if you like fish like me!

A Swordfish Duel

Company Swordfish

First of all, Swordfish is not that easy to find. Second of all, it's not that great tasting. The only thing that was keeping this recipe alive was the artichokes and the dried tomatoes that were on top. The fish itself was pretty dry and not very good. I tried to take a picture, but apparently my camera didn't save it - not to sure on that one - so take a look at the book's picture. It looked just like it anyway. I was not impressed with this recipe at all, but it was simple enough and only took about a half hour to make. ​Thumbs Down

Green Goddess Salad Dressing

Love this recipe. At first I didn't think that my food processor was going to work because the ingredients list was so long, but I was wrong. This dressing turned out perfectly and tastes amazing. 

​Thumbs Up

Since the swordfish picture had pasta as a side, I decided to make my own thing that turned out deliciously and was very simple. Half of a pack of spaghetti pasta, boiled to done. Added a stick of butter and then a lot of shredded parmesean and romano cheeses. You all should definitely try that! I wanted to add some Mizithra cheese, but I couldn't find it at Dierbergs. 

​Thanks for reading! Until next time...
