Recipes and more

It's been 2 weeks and I haven't made a post and for that I apologize. We have been very busy seeing people, having dinner with others and just general business. This week I have been a little under the weather but all is well now--I think. I want to post a couple of Recipes that I think all of you will enjoy.

Cilantro-Lime Tilapia

Light & luscious, just right for your appetite.

INGREDIENTS
Tilapia fillet (4 oz)
1 tsp olive oil
juice from half a lime
1/2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup cooked spinach
1/4 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
1 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
Garlic/garlic powder (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Brush fillet with 1 tsp olive oil.
Squeeze juice from half a lime over fillet.
Sprinkle garlic powder over fish. (I also sprinkle a little sea salt)
Sprinkle fillet with cilantro .
Broil in oven 6 inches from heat, about 5-7 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork (I found it just as easy to cook on the grill-3-4 minutes, spray grill.)
While tilapia is broiling, place spinach in microwave safe dish. (I prefer fresh spinach which will need to steam in microwave 5-10 minutes depending on how soft you prefer yours.
Toss with minced garlic and sea salt (optional).
Cook according to package directions if using frozen spinach.
Keep covered & warm until fillets are done.
Spoon cooked spinach on a plate, place fish over spinach, top with chopped tomatoes and shredded cheese.
Serve with herb bread if desired.
Recipe is for an individual serving; multiply recipe by the number of desired servings (works as a dinner for 2 or 12!).

Mini Vegetable Frittatas

Make this ahead of time and then refrigerate for a quick, protein-packed breakfast that's also portion-controlled. Top with salsa (optional) and serve with toast for a complete breakfast.

2 Tbsp low-fat milk
1 cup diced tomato
2 oz. goat cheese, crumbled
I use different crumbled cheeses according to my taste or what I have on hand
2 cups chopped broccoli, fresh (or frozen and thawed)asparagus tips and mushrooms are also good.
salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
Mix eggs and milk in a bowl. Add crumbled goat cheese and chopped vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon mixture into muffin tins coated with cooking spray.
Baked at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until "set" and golden on top.

You can refrigerate and reheat these in the microwave for a quick breakfast or snack. Microwave on high for approximately 30 seconds. Serve warm.

Have a great week.

For you RV'ers these recipes are simple to make in the coach or on the grill. For those of you in a stick house they are ultra easy. Yes if you haven't hear a brick or wood house is referred to as a stick house.
