I was surprised on June 14th to find an email from The Foodie BlogRoll saying that I was selected as that week’s winner for the “Mrs. Peacock’s Brittle” giveaway.  Then, several days later, I received Mrs. Peacock’s Peanut Brittle in the mail.  It is without doubt one of the best I have eaten.   The peanuts are delicious ~ encased in a rich, buttery brittle for a great crunchy treat.  It is a mouth watering temptation that I find hard to resist!!!

I enrolled with Foodie Blogroll.com shortly after I started blogging. It’s a great site with a huge collection of incredible food blogs by interesting people who are like me with their love of food, cooking and recipes.  I highly recommend that you visit and join this site; while you’re there, enter the contests for a chance to win a great prize!

Thanks again, Foodie Blogroll! 



Now for today’s recipe ~

The local grocery store had cod on sale the other day so I knew immediately what dinner would be that night.  It is a mild flavored fish that is available all year.  Cod is in the monkfish and halibut family, being a deep sea fish of the Arctic waters.

Cod is a tasty fish; it’s so tender, sweet and flaky.  In this recipe, it cooks up in a delicious tomato and mushroom sauce.  This is one of the simplest ways to prepare cod and yet it is full of flavor.  It’s an excellent source of Omega-3’s and is delicious served with salad and brown rice!





Here’s the recipe:

Italian-Style Cod Fillets

Ingredients:

1-1/2 pounds cod fish fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
½ small onion, diced
2 cans diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano
Salt and pepper
Freshly grated parmesan cheese

Method:

In a large skillet, heat oil.
Add onions and cook for 1 minute.
Add mushrooms and cook on medium-high heat until slightly golden.
Place tomatoes in the mushroom mixture and combine well.
Remove half of the tomato/mushroom mixture to a small bowl.  Set aside.
Place cod fillets on top of the tomatoes in the skillet.
Place remaining tomato mixture over the fish fillets.
Season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until fillets flake easily with a fork.

Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Serves 3-4


ENJOY!!!
