What's For Dinner?

Here's what we've been eating lately...

1. Red potatoes, sugar snaps, sweet corn and bacon.  I started with sauteing the bacon in the skillet, then adding boiled potatoes and snaps, cut the corn off the cob and added it right in.  Super yummy.
2. Store-bought ham and cheese quiche.  This one is very good for a convenience food.  Cuisine Adventures.  Got it at Sams Club.
3. Teriyaki steak and fresh pineapple kabobs.
4. Gazpacho.  Chilled, spicy and perfect for hot summer days.  I have to tell you that The Mister kept calling it Gestapo.  OK...laughed so hard I cried.  He didn't know what was so funny until I explained...
5. Creamy chicken, mushroom and peas on rice.  Yummy garlicky sauce that started with mascarpone cheese.
6. Chicken salad with grapes, celery and cucumbers.  The binder was mayo with a little of each Marzetti dressings...Poppy Seed and Sweet Onion.

**** (I substituted Corn Chex for the flakes the last time I made it and thought the crust was crispier...yum!)

Shown here served with pan fried catfish and mixed greens.

BTW...I combined 2 recipes from Tyler Florence

and Emeril Lagasse for the catfish and it was

the best...succulent, flavorful and very crispy.

A quick marinade and Panko Japanese breadcrumbs

are the secret! I may post the recipe in the future!
