Crispy Oven Fried Fish Bites

I love fish, I could eat it every other day, that along with chicken. These were good. The tarter sauce is awesome. I always made homemade tarter sauce but it was just mayo and sweet pickle relish, plain and simple. This one on the other hand was out standing. Loved it.  I give this recipe a 5 star. Now you can make this low carb by using almond flour or your own low carb flour of choice. My daughter on the other hand had other ideas, she wanted the panko for super crunchy fish and that is what I made for everyone.

The recipe is from Cooking and Beer Blog 

Broiled Tilapia with Seafood Wine Sauce 5 Stars

This recipe is from Buttoni's Low Carb Recipe Blog. 

Now this is a Five star recipe. We loved this a lot. 

I didn't use crawfish cause here in Upstate, NY they are expensive and cleaning them to get what little bit of meat from them isn't worth the work. LOL 

I used just crab meat instead.  Even the next day this was so good reheated. Will be making this again. 

Morning

I have been hiding LOL. Had my doctor's appt last Monday and things went really well. This is the first appt since I started the new Low Carb High Fat lifestyle. For the most part my blood work was good except I am borderline anemic which isn't good. He thinks I might have a small ulcer that is bleeding hence that is causing me to be anemic. See another dr on the 16 for that. But the best part is I have lost 50 pounds. That is the best part and most depressing part too. I thought, hoped that just losing some of the weight I would be able to move better and not be in so much pain, but hasn't happened yet. I am trying to not let it depress me but not working so good. I am pluggin' away still.

Had a few not so good recipes from Pinterest this week. First one is Cheeseburger Gnocchi. Now in my opinion when something is called Cheeseburger, it should taste similar to a cheeseburger. This didn't at all. This was a combination of Mexican meets Italian.  I didn't care for it at all, neither did my husband. 2 Stars

Here was another miss for me, Edna Mae Sour Cream Pancakes. My daughter liked them but I found them to be very bland. I think with some tweekin' they could be good. I did make them low carb by substituting flour for almond flour and oat flour.  2 Stars

Recipe from Pioneer Woman that I got from The Noshery Blog 

Crawfish Dumpling Stew 

This was good but my dumplings didn't come out right. But the broth was outrageous. I think the next time I make this I will use crab cause crawfish here are not that cheap and you have to get a lot of them.  3 Stars

I think it was more the cook than the recipe. LOL I will be trying this again thou.

Recipe from Taste Book 

Oh my

 Can't believe it's been this long since I posted, like ten days. Didn't think it was that long. Hubby was on vacation last week from work so my days were a little off with him wandering around LOL. The weather last weekend was horrible here hot and humid which is not something I like at all. But then it cooled down the rest of last week.
I had a great mother's day and then on Monday was my husband's birthday. And we had his parents over for dinner.
One of Phil's favorite dishes is spaghetti with Parmesan crusted chicken.  Kraft has new cheeses out one of them is Parmesan with Italian herbs, it's really good and was awesome on the chicken. Great dinner. Then I made him his favorite cake, yellow cake with chocolate frosting. This is the one I made.

THe recipe is from Vintage Mixer

I changed it a bit, added a box of vanilla pudding to the cake mix only half the sugar.  The chocolate frosting I didn't heat up, just melted the butter and mixed that with the cocoa powder then added the rest of the ingredients. 

the cake came out really good from what I hear cause I don't like cake and it's not part of my lifestyle anymore. But Phil loved it and so did his parents.  5 Stars

The rest of the week is kind of like a blur I can't really remember what I made so that must mean they where all that great or remember-able. LOL 

I do know I made this for lunch and it was awesome. 

recipe is from Cooking Classy

I made it the way the recipe is written except from the asparagus cause I didn't have any so I used green beans, it was so good.  4 Stars

Can't remember what I made Tuesday night for dinner LOL but I know on Wednesday we had Chicken and Mushroom Fricassee and it was really good. My husband loved it so much he ate all of it.  5 Stars

Then on Sunday cause Saturday is the one day a week that I let myself have carbs and it's usually when my daughter want's to order out. I try anyways. 

Sunday we had my husband's parents over for dinner cause his dad fixed up a wagon for me and did a gorgeous job of it too. And he wanted Goulash. So that is what I made. 

Bobby's Goulash 

By Paula Deen, Food network. 

This was really good. The only thing I did different was I didn't let it sit for 30 minutes after it was done cooking. Wonderful flavor this dish has. Loved it. 

And for desert I made this  5 Stars
