Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 ½ pounds catfish fillets, cut into serving pieces

  • 1 cup cornmeal

  • 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce or water

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 13x9 glass baking dish with the oil, and set aside.

  2. Rinse the catfish fillets, and pat dry. In a shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal, creole seasoning, paprika, sugar, and black pepper. Combine the eggs and hot sauce or water in a another bowl. Dip the fillets in the egg mixture, dredge in the cornmeal mixture, and arrange in the baking pan.

Coconut-Lime Cheesecake with Mango Coulis

This tropical-inspired mango Key lime cheesecake features a ginger-coconut crust and two divine layers topped off with a fresh mango coulis. I like to make coconut cream by adding coconut extract to whipped cream for topping the cheesecake. Top with a whipped cream dollop and toasted coconut sprinkle for even more flavor.

A delicious pepper steak recipe served with boiled white rice — easy and made from items I've already got in my cupboards. My mother clipped this recipe from somewhere and it became a specialty of mine; however, I've been unable to find the original source.
