Southern Fried Whole Catfish

Southern Fried Whole Catfish,  a delicious authentic Southern dish.  The catfish is well coated with seasoned cornmeal and flour mixture, then deep fried in hot oil until crispy, crunchy delicious.   Summer is closing down, and in the past years by this time, we have fried catfish at least two or three times.  But as the years go by they are few and far between.   It is just so much easier to go to our favorite catfish restaurant and buy a fried catfish dinner.  And we have excellent restaurants now that serve some delicious catfish.

Slow Roasted Fresh Strawberries

Slow Roasted Fresh Strawberries, fresh strawberries sprinkled generously with sugar, and lightly with salt and pepper, baked slowly until the strawberries release their juices and slightly caramelize.  These strawberries go brilliantly in all kinds of desserts. One of my favorite things about summer is all the fresh fruit in the grocery stores.  I  almost always tend to buy more than we can eat, that including fresh strawberries, and I wait until the last minute to use them up before they spoil.   This summer I started slow roasting half of the strawberries when I buy them.  I like to roast them whole instead of slicing them.  The berries hold their shape well while roasting coming out plump and luscious.

Slow Roasted Strawberry No Churn Ice Cream

Slow Roasted Strawberry No Churn Ice Cream, an intense, bold strawberry flavor created by roasting fresh strawberries and incorporating them into a no churn ice cream recipe. To celebrate the last few days of summer, we are planning our Labor Day weekend with an America theme potluck, including a backyard BBQ, spectacular pasta salads, easy side dishes that require little cooking time, and for dessert no churn ice cream. It took me a while to get on the no churn ice cream wagon.  I wish I had joined in on the fun way to make ice cream a long time ago.
