Planko Parsley Sole

This recipe was inspired by my mother in laws recipe. During a long weekend, when we went to visit and I had asked her if she could prepare for us a fish dish. Since fish has yet to come on rotation on our menu she prepared us a planko parsley sole. With it being the two of us, buying frozen fish and frying it up makes it an affordable meal. You can serve it with green salad to make an easy meal. In this case with the heat which we had, I decided to accompany it with a warm corn salsa.



For the fish filets' you'll need:

4 sole filets' (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup of planko
1/2 tsp of fresh thyme
1/4 cup of fresh parsley
zest of one lemon
1 french shallot (diced finely)
1/4 cup of planko
1 egg
1/2 cup of white flour

Step 1: you add the thyme



Step 2: Finely chop the parsley


Step 3: Finely chop the french shallot, then add it to the bowl.


 Step 4: Zest the lemon into the bowl with the parsley, thyme and the diced shallots.


Step 5:  Add the planko to the bowl then mix them together.



Step 6: Create an egg mixture with 2 eggs to a bowl separating the flour, eggs and planko mix. To fry the fish, you start by coating the fish with flour, then egg and finally the planko mix. Do not forget to remove any bones which could be found in the fish.



Step 7:  Heat a non stick pan at medium high heat, add a bit of olive oil then you fry the fish. They are ready when they fall apart.

The Convenience of Thrift Shopping Online

The convenience of thrift shopping online has been growing that now even mainstream stores have decided to set up shop. Recently Nordstrom has decided to expand into thrift store territory by selling second hand clothing.  Initially it had started out with Ebay, then Etsy, facebook marketplace and now poshmark. As a seller and buyer, it is convenience at my fingertips as long as the measurements are correct, the thrifted item will fit. Going to the brick and mortar thrift store to takes a lot of time to find that diamond in a haystack at times they are overpriced mass produced items. At times the markup is significantly more than initially paid. You can find a pair of George jeans second hand for what Walmart sells them when they go on sale. However, I have recently noticed that now physical retail stores have now set up a liquidation section on their website. Which means finding the item cheaper new rather than going thrift shopping hoping to find it gently used. The dichotomy of this

Tomato, Goat Cheese, Prosciutto Pasta

 Once again this was one of my favorite recipes from a local restaurant. The first time I had tried it was with my husband and in-laws. It has goat cheese in it but it can be made with blue cheese. Although it has a stronger taste than goat cheese. I found happiness in trying to recreate some recipes from local restaurants. Partly due to the pandemic and how the food prices are so high. Being a $20 recipe at the restaurant it can be significantly priced reduced by making it at home.  For this recipe you will need : 225 g of Penne Pasta 1/4 cup of White Wine 1 Pint of cherry tomatoes 100g of prosciutto 2 green onions whites and greens separated 2 garlic cloves sliced 4 cups of arugula 4 tablespoons of goat cheese Here's an instructional video

Cauliflower, Tarragon, Chicken Creamy Penne

     This recipe started out of having to pass the food we have in the freezer. The pandemic has changed the way we shop and buy groceries. We do keep staples in the fridge and pantry. It just happened that we had cauliflower and some chicken thighs to pass one night. Seems easy enough to make something delicious out of it. Although they can be bland if they are not seasoned or have herbs in the sauce. A basic cream sauce is always started with a roux which is some flour which is cooked with butter. The roux helps thicken a cream sauce such as for a béchamel or fettucine. Its a building block to many sauces whether it is macaroni and cheese or chicken pot pie. The added cheese makes it a great sauce to put on vegetables or pasta it can also be put into pie shells to make a different pot pie. Here is what you will need to create this dish :   3 Tablespoons of Flour 3 Tablespoons of butter 1 lbs of chicken thighs diced 1 French shallot diced 1 Tablespoon of dried diced garlic (you can ad
