Tilapia with Dill and Sushi Seasoning (Pantry Pull-together)

By

Heidi has had a super busy week, and so I get the pleasure of sharing a recipe this week. Thankfully, I had some great things on hand and got to put it all together for a pretty little meal.

What you see above is Tilapia, mac and cheese, pickled beets and sliced cucumbers.

Last year, we bought 1/4 a beef. As you can imagine, we have been eating a lot of beef. I know...not all that good for you. However, last night I wanted some variety! EAT MORE...of something else.

So, I pulled out the Tilapia I had in the freezer. I knew I wanted Mac and Cheese, since it has been ages since I had any. You know how sometimes you just get a hankering for something like that? The beets and cucumber were an after thought, when I went searching through the fridge for some veggies. (I ate the whole cucumber by the way, it just looked better in the pic as a garnish.) The recipe for the beets is in Monday's post here.


So, after all that longwindedness, here is what I pulled together. Sometimes, you just have to pull out ingredients you have not used in a while and create something different!

The vinegar above I bought at a Japanese grocery store in KY ($3). It is actually a seasoning for Sushi rice. It adds a GREAT flavor to rice and other dishes. My man isnt big on vinegar, but this one has a mellow, almost sweet taste to it. Even he likes it, and he is rather...decided in what he likes. :-) If you can find it, you should try this vinegar.



Tilapia with Dill and Sushi Seasoning

I cooked them individually, so this is for one piece of Tilapia. I have a small skillet. :-)

1 Tbl EVOO
1 clove garlic
1 filet of Tilapia
1/4 tsp Dill
1/2 - 1 tsp sushi seasoning**
Dash of salt and pepper

I really made this to taste, so you could add more or less of the seasoning and dill.

Warm EVOO and minced garlic in a skillet, sauteing the garlic to soften it. Add the filet, add a dash of salt and pepper to taste. On medium heat, saute the filet for 3-5 minutes. Turn over, add Dill and sushi seasoning and cook another 3-5 minutes, or until the fish begins to flake.

Enjoy!






**If you do not want to use the sushi seasoning, you can also use lemon juice for a differnt flavor that is still very good.

Robin's Egg Blue

By
What color is more vibrant, calming, and fun all mixed into one? For me, it is a bright robin's egg blue. It can be a statement color, and accent color, or whatever you want it to be. I have to give my boy the credit for finding this chest sometime last year. I apologize I didnt really get a "before" picture. The chest was painted brown. Why you would ever really paint wood brown, is beyond me. Especially this chest. It is a cedar chest, smells wonderful and has beautiful, rich natural wood. I sanded this one down, because I wanted to salvage the beauty. However, even then, the brown paint remained in the carvings on the front and in the grooves of the legs. I would have saved that beautiful wood too, but you already know I did not. Why did I not, you may ask? (Especially when I keep going on and on and on about the wood...) Because of this. The top. Sigh . The pictures dont really do it justice, but there are grooves going opposite the grain, making it look scratched. ...

Labor of Love (Part 1 of 3)

By
I love lace. I love the delicacy with which it presents itself to the world. That being said, I dont really use it very much. I do have some family doilies, and my wedding dress has some lace, but I dont go too crazy. I like to be able to clean things, and not have dust mites clinging to every available piece of cloth (they cling to everything else anyway.) So, I decided to try a painting technique. Why not paint the lace on the object? Easy to clean, lovely design, what could be better? We got this child's vanity in an old attic pick. Yes, we went into someone's hot and muggy attic for several hours. Yes, they let us jsut dig through things (can you believe it?!?!) unsupervised. Yes, we had to take our own flashlights. And yes, there was mouse droppings and dead birds up there. It was gross, but worth it. My boy LOVED it! American Pickers is his favorite tv show. So this school bus yellow vanity sat there looking at us. Begging for new life! I knew if we left ...
