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.

Review: Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Crust & Pizza Sauce

By
We were sent samples of Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Pizza Crust & Pizza Sauce.  We rounded out our samples with Kroger Pizza Blend Cheese, Kroger Pepperoni and Kroger Bella Mushrooms.  What can I say - we're a Kroger loving family! My little helper loved spreading the sauce and then all the ingredients.  I'm not sure all the cheese made it on the pizzas! Overall, this was good, but I'm not sure we'll purchase the crust again.  The "vegan" part didn't affect the taste as far as I could tell.  I LOVED that the crust was crispy (like a cracker almost), but where the toppings were it was a wee bit softer.  The texture was a+.  I felt like the crust had zero taste.  I did, however, enjoy the taste of the sauce.  I don't like my pizza sauce overly spicy or sweet and this one fit the bill - this we will purchase again. Can’t top the great taste of this #SimpleTruthOrganic Vegan pizza crust! #MyMagaz...

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. ...
