My mother in law was looking for a catfish recipe that was baked not fried. So I thought that I would come up with one. Through the many years of eating baked fish, we always went the simple route. Lemon, seasonings and butter. Simple and quick! Recipe: 4 catfish fillets, defrosted ( I stick mine in micro for about 4 mins from frozen stage) 1/2 cube of butter, sliced into 4 pieces 1/4 cup lemon juice...to your desired taste mrs. dash and mixed pepper Spread butter in the bottom of a 13x9 pan. Place fish on top of butter. Pour juice on top of fish then season. Bake at 350 for 20-30 mins until fish is flaky. No cover required! Delish!! Enjoy!

Dozen corn tortillas 1 lb. shredded pork 3 cups shredded cheese or more if you prefer 1 can olives, sliced 1 can of mushroom soup 1- 16 oz salsa Roll stuffed corn tortillas with pork and cheese and place in bottom of greased pan until it is filled. Mix soup and salsa together. Pour over top of tortillas. Spread cheese over this. Spread olives over this. Bake 350* for 30 minutes

I make this quite often.

1 3/4 cup water 1 cup quick oats honey 1 tbls. butter Bring water, 1 Tbls. Honey and butter to a boil. Then add oats and turn down to a simmer. Stir in oats until foaming quits (about  a minute) then simmer just until it feels like it is thickening a bit. Shut off and let sit for about 5 mins. If you want thick like spackle let sit for longer. Depending on your oats, they will be a little runny or thick. Honey infused porridge! Enjoy! I top mine with honey while Mtn man likes brown sugar!
