Little Susie Home Maker's Baked Hake or Cod

Baked Hake Fish Recipe

Recently, I came across some beautiful Hake fish filets. They are considered a white fish and said to be similar to Cod with a mild flavor. Being sure to include fish in our diet is a great way to increase our cardiovascular health and good brain function. So please, count me in!

When it comes to cooking fish. I always love to oven-fry mine. Here is my recipe that I use to oven-fry these wonderful fish fillets. Please feel free to substitute your favorite fish in this recipe!

Susie Home Maker's Baked Hake (Cod)

4 Hake or cod fillets

Juice of 1 lemon, (or lemon juice in a little yellow plastic squeeze container)

4 Tbsp butter

2 Tbsp olive oil

4 cloves garlic

3/4 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup mayonnaise

Preheat oven to 400* F

Place butter, olive oil and 2 cloves of crushed garlic in a small saucepan over simmer. 
Slowly melt butter while stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, rinse and pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels. 
After the fillets are dried, cover them with lemon juice on both sides. 

Pour the melted butter mixture into a pie plate or shallow dish. 

Next, saturate the fish well with the butter mixture.

In another shallow dish that is filled with the bread crumbs, 
place the fish fillet and turn to coat evenly.

Then you can place the fillets onto a shallow baking pan
 that is coated with about 1-2 Tbsp oil.

Repeat with remaining fish fillets.

 In a small bowl add mayonnaise, pepper, salt 
and remaining 2 cloves crushed garlic and mix together.

Spoon mixture onto the top of the fish fillets on pan.

You can leave this mayo mixture off, 
but this adds a lot of flavor to the mild fish, so I slather it on!

Place into oven and bake for 20 minutes. 

Fillets should be flaky and golden.

Serve on a favorite platter. 

This goes well with a wild rice and roasted veggies, and a simple green salad!

My family loves this dish.

I hope that you will try it. 

Do you like to include fish in your weekly dinner menu?

Blessings,

Vintage 50's Meatloaf Recipe

Do you like meatloaf?

Today I want to share a recipe with you from one of my favorite cookbooks.

This is a Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book. It is missing the copyright page, but from researching on the web, I believe it to be 1950's. It has some pretty fun artwork, and fabulous content.

I have had this cookbook for several years now. I found it one day at a local Goodwill store. I just adore it.

Inside there is a penciled star from a previous owner on a recipe that I figure, must have been a favorite. What I want to share today is the 

Everyday Meat Loaf

2/3 c. dry bread crumbs

1 c. milk

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef

2 beaten eggs

1/4 c. grated onion

1 t. salt

1/2 t. sage

dash of pepper

Oven  350*

Soak breadcrumbs in milk: add meat, eggs, onion, and seasonings; mix well. Form in individual loaves; place in greased muffin pans. Cover with Piquant Sauce* (page 348).

Bake in moderate oven (350*) 45 minutes. Makes 8 servings. Or form one loaf in 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2-inch pan. Spread with sauce; bake 1 hour.

*Piquant Sauce

Combine 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 cup catsup, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon dry mustard.

I took some personal liberties, and used packaged and seasoned bread crumbs, I also substituted a canned salsa, for the topping. Other than that, I did try to keep the making of this original.

It was a very simple meatloaf to make. The end result baked rather nicely and was firm and held together to slice.

My family and I enjoyed it for dinner, but it was just a little bland for my taste. But a very good base recipe to start a meat loaf on. And if only a few ingredients on hand, this makes a simple meatloaf to prepare.

Overall, I had fun preparing this and my family did enjoy eating it!

So, maybe you will enjoy making this 1950's style meat loaf, too.

I hope you are blessed by this post, and feel free to leave a comment! Have a great week!

Blessings,

Crochet Dishcloths

  I had the most wonderful visit this weekend with my parents. 

The kids were thrilled when Grandpa and Grandma came for a visit.

 My dear Momma is always a person that brings a gift! 

She brought me these beautiful dishcloths.

 She has been working on them and made quite a few colorful cloths. 

Aren't they just so pretty?

I really love all the colors. I also like the texture from the ribbing.

I think these are so pretty, that I will find them hard to use on dishes! 

But she says, "Don't save them. Use them!"

Oh, thank you Momma for these pretty little crochet dishcloths! I just love them!

I just wanted to share my blessings with you to enjoy!
