- Full refunds are now being processed to those who have already placed orders for the September distribution.
Like the thousands of businesses in America that have endured one of the worst recessions in the past 100 years, we too have faced operational and financial challenges. We have every intention to continue offering great food at great prices in the coming months and are considering ways to reorganize or restructure our Ministry.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to the hundreds of thousands of customers who have come to rely on us every month, to our Host Sites and to the thousands of volunteers who join us in serving God by helping those in need.
Please check this website often for the latest information. Thank you for your understanding and May God Bless.

RE: Angel Food Ministries Closing Down?
September 7, 2011
I don't know if it's just mean people being negative about this wonderful program but Angel Food Ministries' Official Facebook page is closed, and there are people on Facebook saying that Angel Food Minisitries laid off people and is shutting down.
CooknCents has tried to contact someone at Angel Food to find out if this is true or not, and we have been unsuccessful at reaching anyone, however, their newly designed main webpage is still up, and they are still taking September 2011 orders.
Has anyone contacted their host site? I really hope this is just a gigantic hoax or their fanpage just got hacked because I love the program so much!
In fact, right now, I am enjoying some nice Chicken & Rice soup made from Angel Food Ministries' ingredients!

Whiting Fillets, Four Ways
I had planned to cook up some Pollock "Poor Man's Lobster" but Angel Food Ministries made a substitution and surprise! We got Whiting Fillets. No problem! I hope this gives you some yummy ideas for using your Whiting Fillets.
In order of my favorite to least favorite recipe, here are Whiting Fillets, Four Ways:
The first recipe I tried was for Southern Whiting Filets on grouprecipes.com I really, really liked this recipe. It really neutralized the fishiness of the fillets. The liquid hot pepper sauce gave it just a little kick.
Southern Whiting Fillets
The next recipe I tried was GREAT Fried Whiting Fillets by Great Fish Co. Who doesn't like breaded fish? This was really good. Perfect to serve with a side of fries & some cole slaw.
GREAT Fried Whiting Fillets
2 LB Whiting fillets
½ C Flour
1 C Milk
1 C Bread crumbs
3 Eggs beaten
Lemon wedges
Oil for frying
Salt and pepper
Salt & Pepper fillets. Dip in milk, then dip in flour. Dip into eggs, and then into breadcrumbs. Fry fillets for approx 3 min per side or until golden brown.
3rd: Spicy Deviled Whiting Recipe on About.com Fish & Seafood Cooking by Doug DuCap
This was an interesting flavor - really spicy, but good. If you like spicy, this is a nice, easy recipe.
1-1/2 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp Old Bay or other seafood seasoning
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
4 large whiting fillets (7-8 oz) or equivalent
The FOURTH way I made them was to use a method I enjoy on salmon a lot. The flavor was ok - but it left the fish more fishy tasting than the other recipes. I think I'll save this for less-fishy fish like Salmon.
Cilantro Lime Fish
Use:
Whiting Fillets,
1/2 Stick Butter
Tsp Garlic Powder
Tsp Lime or Lemon Juice
Tbsp Dried or Fresh Cilantro, chopped
Melt butter with lime or lemon juice, garlic powder and cilantro in a bowl in microwave for about 30 seconds and set aside. Cook fish in frying pan on stove in a little bit of oil or cooking spray until it flakes with a fork. When fish is done, pour cilantro on top of fish & Serve.
Cool Tips: Do you know how to skin a fish fillet? It's not as hard as you think. Use a fillet knife to get under the skin, and slide it from one end of the fish to the other. I've found it is easier for me, if I actually start in the middle. There are some good videos on youtube that show you how to remove the skin. Also, did you know you can actually eat fish skin, if you don't want to remove it?
When you're done preparing your fish, put out a small bowl of white vinegar to help remove the fish smell from your home.

Protecting your Refrigerated Food
Just some quick tips to protect your food:
- If you are expecting a power outage due to bad weather, set your fridge and freezer on the coldest setting and DO NOT open the door unless absolutely necessary.
- Check with your Home and Renter's Insurance Agent about coverage for your food. If there is a power outage, will it be covered? Also. ask them about policy in case of plain old mechanical failure.
- Last, but not least - keep your freezer locked. The two times I've lost everything in my freezer was due to my toddler opening the door. I found the freezer full of defrosted food hours later.
