Here are next weeks recipes.  Don’t worry if you haven’t made the dishes for this week yet, this early posting is mainly for shopping planning purposes.  -Nika

Baked Fish ‘n’ Chips with Honey Vinegar

Coking spray

2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices

salt and freshly ground black pepper taste

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup milk 1 large egg lightly beaten

1 1/4 pounds cod or halibut fillets, cut into thin strips

1/4 cup cider vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

 

1. Preheat the oven to 425 F.  Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. Arrange the potato slices on the sheet and spray their tops with cooking spray.  Season with salt and pepper.  Bake for 10 minutes and pull out of oven.  Leave the oven on.

3. Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.  Whisk in the milk and egg.  Add the cod fillets and turn to coat with the batter.  Arrange the cod in a single layer on the baking sheet with the partially cooked potatoes and bake until the fish and potatoes are golden brown and the fish is fork-tender.  About 15 minutes.

You're really stretching my cooking here with the fish! Hahah I have never cooked it or really eaten it so we will see how it goes! Looks good though!

I'm excited to try the salad, but I have to admit that I have never purchased or eaten fish before. I think my own family will have reservations of me experimenting with fish on them. We'll see.

Rochelle, if you don't feel up to experimenting with the fish you can always try it with chicken. It is okay to make substitutions to keep your family happy:)
