Fish Romano

This is from a wonderful cookbook Saving Dinner. My family has loved every single recipe I've tried from this book
 
Fish Romano
Recipe By: Leanne Ely

3/4 cup white wine
1 teaspoon thyme
4 cloves garlic -- pressed
6 fish fillets (white fish)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup Romano cheese -- grated
salt & pepper -- to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
lemon wedges
 
In a large zipper-topped plastic bag, combine first 4 ingredients. Add fish, seal bag, and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes, turning bag occasionally.
Meanwhile, combine flour, Romano cheese, salt and pepper in another large zipper-topped plastic bag. Remove fish fillets from marinade (discard marinade) and add them to the flour bag, close bag, and shake to coat evenly with flour mixture.
In a skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add fish and cook 6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges.

Cream of Broccoli & Cheddar Soup

As I've said before, I'm not normally a broccoli fan. But this soup is rather delicious. Of course the cheese is what redeems the broccoli!
 
Cream of Broccoli & Cheddar Soup
Serves:6
 
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 bag frozen chopped broccoli
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon flour, or more if needed
1 bay leaf
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
salt and pepper, to taste
 
In a soup pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and cook onion. When onion is translucent, add broccoli and bay leaf and stir to combine. Sprinkle vegetables with flour and stir quickly to combine. Cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Continue to stir and gradually add the milk and chicken broth. Cook, stirring constantly, till broccoli is tender and mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes or so. Remove and discard bay leaf. Transfer soup to blender and process at low speed until smooth. Add Cheddar cheese and stir; salt and pepper to taste. Reheat if needed. Serve.
