I really should have taken a picture of this one, it looks great on the plate. Oh yeah, it was really yummy too. :bigsmile:

Stuffed Catfish
Serves 2

Ingredients:
2 catfish fillets (3oz each)
8 small shrimp, cooked & peeled, cut into small pieces
¼ cup Swiss cheese, shredded
1 slices of wheat bread, fresh or stale and cut into small pieces
¼ cup parsley, chopped
¼ cup mushrooms, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 green onion, chopped
Salt & pepper to taste
Dash paprika

Cook:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- Salt and pepper each catfish fillet and place on the cookie sheet, set aside.
- Combine bread, parsley, mushrooms, onion, and green onion in a food processor. Pulse until the stuffing mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Heat a lightly greased pan over medium-high heat and add stuffing mixture. Cook for 4 min, then set stuffing aside.
- Spread the stuffing mixture & shrimp over each catfish fillet evenly. Roll each fillet from end-to-end, enclosing the stuffing in the catfish. Secure each catfish roll with toothpicks and place on pan seam-side down. Bake for 15 min.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and sprinkle them with the Swiss cheese and paprika. Bake for 5 more min, cheese should be melted and catfish done-through.
- Serve immediately with a side of Hungry Girl’s butternut squash fries, sprinkled with Cajun-seasoning.

Bake-tastic Butternut Squash Fries!

(Serving Size: 5oz. of squash cut into fries, calories: 65, fat: 0g, sodium: 6mg, carbs: 16.5, fiber: 3g, sugars: 3g, protein: 1.5g)

Ingredients:
1/2 butternut squash
kosher salt

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel and de-seed your butternut squash. If you're unfamiliar with handling these large items, you may have a little trouble at first. They're fairly easy to peel, but you'll need a sharp knife to cut them. Once your orange friend is peeled and sans seeds, slice it in half. Then cut it up into french fry shapes. We like to use a crinkle cutter to make authentic looking crinkle cut fries, but they'll work any way you slice 'em. Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Cover lightly with kosher salt (regular salt works, too, but we prefer kosher salt). Place tray in your pre-heated oven and bake for 40 minutes or so, flipping halfway through baking process. Fries are done when they are starting to brown on the edges and get crispy.

Serve with ketchup, or however else you enjoy fries or sweet potato fries!

**We've been known to eat a huge 2-3 serving bowl of these for lunch...they're awesome, healthy and packed with fiber!
