I thought we were done with the cold weather. Yesterday we were in the 80s but today, we woke up and it was freezing.  Since we did not have any particular plans, we stayed in, warm, cozy, and happy.

Sunday dinner is always quality time for our family.  Today is no different. Our meal was simple and delicious.  I made a beautiful pecan crusted blue catfish which I served with a delicious baked pasta with vegetables.

    • Stephanie, apparently doing so, remove the fishy taste and smell. I also have another recipe for liver which calls for soaking it in milk as well.

  1. Ugh, this weather is ridiculous! I had to turn the heater back on this weekend. I have never had the heat on in April! I’ve also never thought of crusting a fish with pecans, this sounds interesting and something we will have to give a try!

  2. The weather here has been crazy. Sunday dinners are always my favourite, we enjoy good food and the company of each other. It’s the one day we usually slow down to do so. This looks fantastic. I love pecan crust on fish. Thanks for sharing

  3. this looks so yummy! Even though i dont consume animal products I can take the whole concept and try to recreate it with seitan or something! Tofu maybe?

  4. Though I don’t eat meat products but the men in our family does!!! Your dish looks amazing, I have to share this with them, I’m sure they’ll love it! 🙂

    • In my house, we could live on seafood alone, we love seafood. One of my besties does not eat seafood, it’s still a mystery to me, but we have fun eating together.
