Last Night's Menu: Baked Cod with Artichoke and Olive Caponata, Skillet Potatoes and Lemon Meringue Pie

Hello Readers!

I apologize for the delayed posting, but better late than never on this particular menu. I tend to sit in front of the TV on Saturday morning/afternoon and watch the Food Network. Generally, after at least one show there is a recipe that I have to make that night. Yesterday's all-time favorite was courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis. Please click the link below to www.foodnetwork.com to get the recipe for dinner.

Baked Cod with Artichoke and Olive Caponata:

Recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/halibut-with-artichoke-and-olive-caponata-recipe/index.html

*Please note: We used cod instead of halibut because halibut is not a cheap cut of fish. The cod was a perfect substitute!

Cod seasoned with olive oil, salt and pepper before baking:



Artichoke and Olive Caponata:



Skillet Potatoes:

My husband loves potatoes, especially ones that can be put in a skillet with some olive oil and fried to perfection. We bought a bag of small purple and white potatoes, cut them into quarters and fried them in the skillet. They were absolutely wonderful! Great job to my hubby!



Lemon Meringue Pie:

This recipe is courtesy of Paula Deen. I have made this mouth-watering lemon meringue pie before from Paula Deen and it is a major hit every time. I used my new micro-torch to get the golden brown peaks on the meringue. It was so much fun to make!
