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.

Soba Lo Mein

Is everyone ready for all the snow they say we are going to get tomorrow?  I hope this is the last of it. I’m ready for Spring! Flowers, bike riding, and walks in the park! Tonight I decided to use the Soba noodles I bought back when I couldn’t eat gluten. Soba noodles are made with 100% buckwheat flour and are gluten free. I’ve never tried them but I thought they would taste more like whole wheat noodles which I love. I decided to use my Chicken Lo Mein recipe without the chicken and with Soba instead of whole wheat. They didn’t taste quite like whole wheat noodles. They had the same texture but a really odd after taste. I think I stick to whole wheat from now on. You can make this Lo Mein with whatever noodles you prefer. The peanut sauce mixed with the soy sauce is so good!! I used the following ingredients.   I started out by sautéing some onions and a garlic clove in 2 tablespoons of toasted Asian sesame dressing. While you are cooking your noodles add in the ve...

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...

Chili For a Chilly Day

Burrrr it’s cold tonight! It seems like I was cold all day until I had a warm bowl of chili. Nothing can warm you up better! We had more snow today! I can’t believe all this snow that we’ve been getting. I love how pretty it is but I don’t like how everything just shuts down. I went to the grocery store this afternoon and it was a nightmare. I got all the things I needed and stood in line for about 10 min until realized that the hamburger meat I had in my buggy had a big tear in it. I had to go get another one and get in the back of the line. I just read about all the magazines they had standing in line. Did you know that Charlie Sheen is in rehab?And Justin Beiber is taking over the world?  This is not any kind of special recipe. It's the chili recipe I grew up on. It starts with a chili seasoning packet and its never the same every time I make it. Start by browning your meat. Try to get very lean meat so you don’t’ have to drain it. Chop and dice a 1/2 of an onion and  s...
