Tilapia With a Side of Pesto Pasta

Tonight was an easy dinner night. I made something really yummy for dinner last night but all my pictures are on my cell phone. My cell phone is not working properly at the moment. Hopefully I will be able to post it soon! I hate dealing with cell phone problems! I called Verizon yesterday and they told me that I could upgrade early! Yay! It should be coming in tomorrow.

 

Today was a busy day at work so I wanted something easy to fix. I like to have some type of fish at least 1 time a week so I remembered the tilapia I had in the freezer. It’s perfect for a quick meal and it thaws out pretty fast. I also had some pesto that I had left over from the last time I made it and thawed that out as well. I originally was going to cover the tilapia with the pesto but after talking to Kyle about what he wanted I changed my mind. You see, Kyle is very picky! I normally have to change it up just for him.

I boiled a couple servings of penne pasta and used the pesto for  some flavor. I also drizzled a little olive oil and a few pine nuts.

The tilapia was seasoned with a little cavenders and Italian bread crumbs. It was baked at 375 for about 15 min.

Kyle choose baked okra for his veggie and I chopped up a fresh cucumber from the downtown market for mine. The fresh cucumbers reminded me of my lovely friends in Russia. I miss them very much. We had fresh cucumbers with every meal there. The Russia team is on their way back from the trip this year. I pray they have a smooth and safe trip back.

I had to have a little okra  and of course some sweet tea!

I even got a “good dinner tonight, baby” from Kyle. That’s always a good sign.

    Me and ryan read this together. Ryan says he salutes your talapia dish and he likes the mason jar for the drink. lol I like the idea of the pesto on top of the fish, but I am sure it was delicious the way you made it.

Day 1–Have a Headache Already

Happy New Year to everyone! Day 1 of the detox started today. It’s been pretty tough,I’m not gonna lie. I went to Whole Foods and Walmart yesterday to get all the fruits and vegetables I needed for the week. I’ve had a headache all day due to the lack of caffeine. I really don’t drink but maybe a cup and a half of coffee and a glass of tea a day. But I sure did miss it today. This morning I got up to help in the nursery at church. I made the Antioxidant smoothie. You can find the recipe here . It was really good, a little tart but not bad. When I got to the church I got a cup of unsweetened green tea (no caffeine) so I could convince myself it was a cup of coffee. The tea and smoothie held me over till about 11:30. I made a nice little salad for lunch with water with of couple apples thrown in. My salad had spinach, avocado, cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and pumpkin seeds dressed with balsamic vinaigrette I did get pretty hungry this afternoon so I made the roasted chi...

I love Almond Butter

Hello again! It’s been a busy day for me today but it’s been a good food day. ;) The blender worked out a little better for me this morning. I guess it just needed a little using before I got used to it. I started today with an Energy Smoothie. It was really good. It was my first time trying the spice Cardamom. Energy Smoothie ½ C Almond Butter 1 Teaspoon Ground Cardamom 1 ½ C water 1 C Frozen Peaches 1 to 2 Teaspoons of Agave ½ C Ice I cut this recipe in half. The Cardamom was pretty noticeable. It’s hard to describe but it was a little like cinnamon. I loved the Almond butter. I tried a new brand this time. It was very creaming right out of the refrigerator. I drank most of the smoothie on my way to work. I was pretty hungry when I woke up this morning.  Lacey enjoyed the Mango Smoothe today. Isn't she cute! I had a cup of hot green tea about 8:30. It hit the spot! The smoothie held me over till about 11. When lunch time came around I was hungry. I had to take a quick lunch...

Growing Alfalfa Sprouts

Well, I gave in. I had a ½ of a warm glazed donut from Shipley’s. J It was soo good! I made a smoothie to keep me full and from eating more donuts. I call it peaches ‘n cream oatmeal smoothie! Peaches ‘n cream oatmeal smoothie 1 cup of peaches ½ cup of raw oats 1 cup of almond milk 1 tablespoon peanut butter Splash of vanilla I liked it, though I thought it was a little thick. I think I will cut back on the oats next time. Lunch was made by Kyle today! He made grilled turkey and swiss on ciabatta bread sandwiches. They were very good! Can you see the Alfalfa sprouts on my sandwich? I grew them this week! It was so easy and I thought I would share with you how you can grow them in your own kitchen as well. I had a friend of mine give me some sprouts last weekend and told me that I should try it out. She had lots of luck in growing hers, so I thought I would try as well. You need: Alfalfa Seeds (You can get them at whole foods in the bulk section) Mason jar and top Some sort of m...
