So Nice We Had to Have it Twice

So this happened again. We tried the brunch at Oddfellows....so we went back for dinner. Trust me when I tell you that we went on another day. I mean I'm not that greedy (sarcasm). 

I ordered the salmon farro and the hubby ordered the fried chicken. 

The salmon farro was magnificent. It is placed in an amazing lemon butter sauce that I wanted to pour in my mouth. It was topped with fried leekes and flat leaf parsley. It came with two sides so I ordered the house salad and mac & cheese. Oddfellows is known for their mac & cheese so I had to try it. It was topped with bread crumbs and my friends that was not the best part. I would have liked them toasted a bit with some butter and then maybe placed in the oven. It was almost as if they were scooped out of a big dish, plopped into a bowl and then topped with some bread crumbs. For the amount you pay, I think we can do better people. The salmon was great, not very flavorful but the lemon butter sauce helped. I think if the salmon was too flavorful it would have taken away from the sauce. Overall, I liked the meal but would probably order a different side. 

The hubby ordered fried chicken. Same seasoning and loveliness from the brunch meal.

In the middle of our feast you can see the beignets. 

You know we had to order more of those!

I liked the dinner menu. They had a lot of great choices and I know we will be back. I have my eye on a few different items that I must try. 

Oddfellows

We went to an amazing restaurant in the Bishop Arts District in Dallas. Oddfellows is a quaint little restaurant consisting of maybe 30 tables and a bar. We had the wonderful opportunity to visit them for brunch and it was soooo delightful. When we arrived we had to wait, it was a Sunday, after church, and it was beautiful outside, so.......There were some benches and tables outside so we sat (for almost an hour) and waited. After about 30 minutes a nice waitress came outside with some delicious, hot beignets. THANK YOU!!!!

We were later given a table and ordered more beignets. I ordered the green chile scramble, which consisted of eggs, salsa verde, brisket, mozzarella, and topped with tortilla strips. It came with a side of fruit and nut bread. So delicious.

Please excuse the horrible phone pics. I keep forgetting my camera. I need to do better with that. 

The hubby had fried chicken and waffles. The seasoning on the chicken was perfect, not too salty, not too spicy. There were three bountiful pieces of chicken that consisted of two thighs and a breast. The meal came with fruit and whipped cream.

Here are the beignets. They came with a side of lemon and honey. They go really heavy with the powdered sugar. Yes Please!!!! 

Here's the super cool restaurant. 

So if you are looking for a cool little brunch spot, definitely hit up Oddfellows. 

I'm not paid for this. I just like good food and want to share! 

Cajun Crab Tilapia

The best fish ever!!!! I totally made this up. I love when I get in the kitchen and just use my imagination. I got really lucky with this because honestly, I have had some major disasters! This tester turned out amazing. 

Cajun Crab Tilapia

4 tilapia filets

1 tbsp. Tony Chachere's Seasoning (any cajun seasoning will do)

1 tsp. olive oil

Cajun Dip*

Combine seasoning with olive oil and mix. After washing tilapia, dry off with paper towel so there is not water or moisture on them. Place fish in the pan you are baking in and rub the seasoning mixture all over the tilapia. Top each piece of fish with the cajun crab dip. You can go as heavy as you would like. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until tilapia flakes using a fork. 

*Cajun Dip

1/2 lb. imitation crab meat

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/3 c. sour cream

1tbsp. hot sauce

1/2 tbsp. Worchestershire sauce

1/2 tbsp. cajun seasoning

1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese

3 green onions, thinly sliced

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Cream/Mix all ingredients, except crab, together until smooth. Add crab meat and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate for 3 hrs. so seasonings can set.
