Food and Family!

My kids are all grown and on their own now. But I like that they call to talk or send me texts and pictures of the grandkids everyday. But what I enjoy even more is when they all get to come and visit from whatever part of the country that they are working in at the time. 

This past week they were all home and we enjoyed being together for laughter and food. One night we had catfish, fried potatoes and coleslaw. So simple, and yet so tasty and enjoyed by all. 

FISH COATING

3 cups white cornmeal mix

1 Tablespoon garlic powder

1 Tablespoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

Mix the ingredients well. Roll fish fillets in the coating and place in hot grease in your deep fryer and cook till golden brown. 

This recipe coated about 6 pounds of catfish fillets.

The fried potatoes were delicious and enjoyed by all. I used the yukon gold potatoes. Washed then cut them into bite sized pieces with skins on. Placed in a large skillet with hot oil in the bottom of it and added a chopped up yellow onion and a cleaned and chopped green bell pepper. Add salt and pepper, place lid on skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning potatoes occasionally to prevent sticking and burning. Cook till potatoes are tender. Place in colander to drain the grease...then enjoy!
