Panko Crusted Cod with Sage Butter

Well, packing day is finally here! I have two lovely ladies here right now packing all our stuff up, and then tomorrow I hit the road with Jango Puppy for CT (well, Maryland for the night, then CT on Wednesday). I love when we get nice movers. Hopefully the loading crew Heath deals with on Wednesday is just as nice.

I'm trying not to think about leaving my Bubba for three weeks though (he and Daddy-O will be here for another week then they're heading to Disney World for a week and a half before coming up). I know they'll have a great time, and it'll be nice to be able to get the house together without any interruption, but I'm gonna miss them both like crazy.

Anyway though...Panko Crusted Cod. Good stuff. I love panko, so I'm pretty sure you could cover and old shoe in the stuff and I'd recommend it, but we all really liked this. I can't remember ever buying cod before, but it's super easy to work with and cooks up fast. Very flaky and light.

The original recipe for the sage butter called for sage leaves, but I couldn't find any, so I just used rubbed sage. Turned out just fine.

Ok guys, I'll be gone for a couple days while traveling, but I'll try and  be back Thursday with a post. Have a great week and to all my friends and family at home, I'll see you soon!!
