[CnD] Oven Roasted Fish Fillets

2013-03-11 Thread gail johnson

This recipe has lots of good notes about making Fish Fillets.

Oven Roasted Fish Fillets
 Ingredients

• Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 fillets of any fish you like (approximately 6-ounces each), or 4 
smaller fish filets

• Sea salt

• 1 lemon, to cut into wedges (optional)



Equipment

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or aluminum foil (optional)
• Paper towels
• Spoon (optional)
• Oven mitt
• Spatula


Yield

Serves 2

1. Preheat oven to 450˚F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or 
aluminum foil. (This will prevent food from sticking and make cleanup 
easier.)  Pour a drop of extra virgin olive oil onto the prepared 
baking sheet and rub it in with your hand or a paper towel.


2. Pat fish filets dry with paper towels.  As you dry each filet, lay 
it on the prepared baking sheet, being sure to leave a little space 
between filets, as this will help them to cook evenly.  If your fish 
filets have skin on them, lay the filets skin side-down on the baking 
sheet. (The skin will come off easily once the fish is cooked.)


3. Sprinkle fish filets with sea salt and drizzle them with extra 
virgin olive oil. (Roughly 1-2 teaspoons of oil per small fish filet; 
about 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon per large filet.  You basically want 
to use enough oil to coat the top of the fish.  If desired, you can 
spread the oil over the fish filets using the back of a spoon or your 
own clean fingers.)


4. Place baking sheet in the oven and cook until fish filets are fully 
cooked.  (You can cut lemon wedges while the fish is in the oven.)  
Very thin fish, like sole, can take as little as 6-8 minutes to cook.  
Medium-thick fish filets (like striped bass) can take closer to 12 
minutes, while thicker filets (cod, halibut) may take around 15 or 16 
minutes.  Note, however, that these cooking times





notes• This recipe will work for as many fish filets as you choose to 
cook—it can serve 1 person, it can serve 100!  (If you’re cooking a lot 
of fish and 1 baking sheet seems too crowded, you should divide the 
fish filets between 2 baking sheets.)


• Fish filets are usually boneless, but they’ll sometimes come with 
bones still in them.  You can remove these bones by plucking them out 
with fish tweezers before you cook the fish.  However, bones actually 
slide out a lot more easily once fish has been cooked, at which point 
you can quickly pull out the bones with tweezers or you own clean fingers.


• In general, 6 ounces of fish is a nice serving size for one person.  
However, if you’re serving a light eater, you could probably use a 
somewhat smaller portion; for a very hungry person, you might make a 
slightly larger portion.


• Sometimes, rather than purchasing an individual fish filet for each 
person you’re serving, you can buy a whole big side of fish.  (The 
recipe will stay the same.)  Especially when entertaining, it can be 
nice to serve this one large piece of fish (family style, on a platter) 
and allow everyone to cut off his or her own portion.


• Note that this recipe will also work for fish steaks, large sides of 
fish, and even whole fish.


• When shopping for fish, if you’re not sure how much to buy or have 
other questions about fish, you can always ask your fishmonger (aka 
fish salesman).  He or she will surely be able to advise you.


• If you want, you can sprinkle spices on the fish along with the sea 
salt.  A little paprika works nicely.


• Allow any leftover fish to cool, and then store it in a plastic bag 
or container, or on a plate covered with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. 
Try to eat it within a day or two.  We prefer eating leftover fish 
cold, rather than reheating it, and like to use it in sandwiches and on salads.


• For more ideas how to use leftover fish, and more info on fish in 
general, check out our guide, All About Fish.

[CnD] Sweet recipes for grands biscuits

2013-03-11 Thread Ann
Good morning, I am in search of any sweet/savory recipes using grands biscuits 
in the can. I got a whole bunch of them about two weeks ago from the grocery 
store. I'm on an iPhone 4S, and it makes it hard for me to find a lot of 
recipes. I am new to this list and this is my first post so I hope this question
It's going to the correct place. Thank you for a list like this and keep up the

[CnD] No-Bake Butterscotch Cornflake Cookies

2013-03-11 Thread gail johnson

Anyone who is just learning to cook will find these easy to do.
You can substitute other kinds of chips.
I am going to substitute Grapenuts for the Cornflakes .

This is the beauty of cooking. I love looking at a recipe my own.


No-Bake Butterscotch Cornflake Cookies
Total Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 5 dozen cookies

Serving Size: 2 cookies


Don't bother preheating your oven. These no-bake cookies are made with 
just three ingredients and ready in a jiffy! Did I mention they make 
about a million to feed a crowd?


5 cups Cornflakes cereal
1 package (11 oz) butterscotch chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Measure cereal into a very large bowl; set aside.

In a 1-quart microwaveable bowl, melt the chips and peanut butter in 
the microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir until smooth (microwave an 
additional 30 seconds, if needed).


Remove melted butterscotch from microwave and pour over the cereal. Use 
a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to gently mix the cereal and coat with 
the butterscotch. Drop by small spoonfuls onto wax paper. Allow to 
completely cool until hardened.

[CnD] no bake atmeal raisin cookies

2013-03-11 Thread gail johnson

I was looking on the internet for some no bake cookies. These look interesting.
I don't have any almond butter so for this batch I'm going to use 
regular butter.

When I go grocery shopping next I was purchase some almond butter.



Who says you need to turn on the oven to make a yummy batch of oatmeal 
raisin cookies? These  good-for-you treats will set in the freezer–so 
there’s no energy required from additional  appliances.

In a medium bowl, combine:
2 ripe mashed bananas
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup raisins
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons almond butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
a pinch of salt
Mix well with your fingers or a fork. Roll the mixture into 10 to 12 
small balls and flatten them  into cookie shapes, then place on a plate 
or baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes. Devour with  your family!

And here's a crock pot recipe for it.
  Title: Apple Butter in a Crock Pot
 Categories: Sauces, Crock pot, Butters
  Yield: 4 Servings
 
  5 c  Apples (cooked and mashed)
  5 c  Sugar
  2 tb Vinegar
 
  Boil applesauce on high heat, then add sugar and vinegar.  I hold the
  cinnamon until last 1/2 hour because I think it evaporates some. Cook
  on high heat (about 4 hours) until the apple butter is as thick as
  you want it when you cool and serve.

Hi, Ranveig,

You asked "what's apple butter".  It is like applesauce, apples cooked down
with spices to make a thick sauce which can be spread on bread, similar to
preserves.  It is quite tasty.  There is no butter in it, just fruit, sugar
and spices.

Hope this helps.

The list is like that. Sometimes you get so many messages that you don't know 
how you will get to all of them. Then There are the other times when the list 
is just quiet.

Enjoy it when it is like this.
