Cod fillet dredged in Italian Bread Crumbs and pan fried in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, with steamed broccoli. Lemon squeezed over both as the only condiment.
What's for dinner tonight?

I've been eating on the run a lot lately and had a craving for healthy food. No, I'm not kidding!
I had already picked up the broccoli and was wandering around the supermarket trying to figure out what would go with it. When I walked by the seafood section that cod fillet called out my name, LOL.
The recipe was reverse engineered from a red snapper dish I had at a Greek restaurant in Jackson, Mississippi.

Usually the only healthy food I ever crave is mediterranean food.

Yep, Greek recipe. I amended my post after you replied...
For healthy options they really have the best food. You inspired me to make some tabouleh tonight. I'm bringing the leftovers for my coworkers tomorrow.

I designed a chef's knife specifically for making tabouleh. I was having to use multiple knives for all the chopping, slicing, dicing, and mincing. It is made of a steel that was designed for making razor blades - AEB-L - that will take a sharper edge than most steels.
Plans for tonight. This morning before heading to work, I put 2 pounds of pinto bean in to soak. Once I get home will cook up a big pot of pintos. Fix some cornbread. Pinto Beans, cornbread with chow-chow on the side. GOOD EATING.
In a day or two, I will take the leftover pintos, add ground beef, chili seasoning and make some Chili Beans.
As far as prepping, I keep lots of dried beans and rice around. Cheap, easy to store and lots of protein and most important, family and I love them.

Bisquets and sausage gravy last night.
Meatloaf, Mashed potatoes and gravy, roasted carrots and green beans canned from my garden last year.
Blackened salmon and shrimp, was craving seafood.
I have to sharpen my knives several times while I'm making tabouleh (I admit that as much as I like knives, I don't have the best kitchen knives) and yes I use multiple knives. Maybe I need to get me something like this.I designed a chef's knife specifically for making tabouleh. I was having to use multiple knives for all the chopping, slicing, dicing, and mincing.

I have to admit that hunny and I ran the roads today. He is letting me do new granite counter tops for my kitchen which includes redoing my island which I am wanting to alter putting on a couple banter's turned upside down and adding a couple shelves.. Something like this. I have already taken off the double doors to my current and added in some kitchen related knick-knacks, Because of my stockroom, I really don't utilize my kitchen to it's capacity. On the other end, I am adding in some hooks that will hold a kitchen towel and maybe a colander, cutting board, or a cheese grater from hooks. Not sure as of yet. . . We have found a mom and pop type shop that is just starting out basically and much cheaper than the others. Their quality is there and according to the ratings the customer service is superb. Really looking forward to working with this couple. . . .Husband is an immigrant from Italy. Wife is local and they have 3 kids along with chickens and goats, in fact when they started out, it was in their back yard washing off the granite of chicken poop. They are the type of people I really want to work with. Rising their three kids with animals. Anyway since we were out and about I bought my hunny dinner. . . I ordered a fried catfish and popcorn shrimp, salad and shrimp fried rice. I may have eaten half so leftovers for tomorrow and he had a fried pork chop, 3 fried chicken wings and 1 catfish with shrimp fried rice. All for $22 bucks. . . not bad for a date night.
Half a cornish game hen and steamed zucchini and mixed vegetables

Pizza
I used the instapot and made skinless breast’s and wedged potatoes in a Greek lemon juice. Amazing and was 25 minutes total time. I’m really liking this toy now.
Following it up with peanut m&m’s and a cold beer. Life is good

Broiled Salmon and steamed broccoli.
How do you season your salmon? I’m looking for good ideas as I’m really trying to eat more fish for health.
Avocado oil, Mrs. Dash garlic herb seasoning (no salt) Celtic grey sea salt, lemon juice.,
A piece of steelhead, brown rice and spinach
Nightquil doesn't cure anything. It only reduces the symptoms and makes you feel better.
Neither do any of the other things I mentioned
Chicken noodle soup may not cure anything but it’s good comforting food when you feel rough.
This thread has been neglected due to the virus so I figured I’d throw something in it. I just spatchcocked a turkey and threw it in the oven. I season with olive oil, garlic, onion, pepper, light on the seasond salt and a touch of poultry seasoning. When you flatten the bird out like this and roast it on 450degrees, you can cook a 13 lb bird in less than 1.5 hrs. It comes out perfectly juicy and with crispy skin all over it instead of just the top. So turkey went in the oven and I thru the neck, trimmings and organs into a pot with onion, mushrooms, and seasonings to cook down for the gravy. I usually pour in some turkey drippings into this as well near the end. For sides I have instant mashed potatoes and asparagus spears with olive oil, seasonings and parmasian cheese sprinkled over it. It will get roasted just as the turkey is finishing up. Just because we are on quarantine dosent mean we can’t eat well. So I’m going to be creative with the turkey and stretch this out for a few days. I usually vacuum freezer bag the legs and a thigh to be able to eat some down the road.too. I’m most excited about fresh turkey gravy. It one of my favorite things in life! The dogs get the residual of the gravy boil. It’s probably not good for them with the onion in it but they will die happy at least! With restaurants closed and everyone having more time on their hands I figured this thread would be active right now. Just not as exciting as the news right now I guess.
I just don't want to see, "we just cooked. And ate our dog"
I am having oven BBQ chicken, baked sweet potatoes, baked beans and peach cobbler
I wouldn’t say I couldn’t do that in dire straits but I’d have to be pretty damned desperate and have starving children involved! I love my pooches!
