Almond crusted tilapia. This dijon almond crusted tilapia is pan-fried, ready in 10 minutes and a healthy, grain free dinner. I’ve been jotting down pros, cons and just general thoughts of this whole paleo challenge as the month has gone by so I can hopefully put together a comprehensive (and cohesive) summary post when it comes to an end later this week. And I kid you not when I say one of the pros of this whole thing has been this recipe. Or more pointedly, finally finding a way to enjoy tilapia. As far as I’m concerned that’s just as much of a pro as having no bloating, clear skin and losing a few inches around my hips & waist. Let’s face it, tilapia is just one boring ass fish. For some reason though, I caved last week and bought a single filet. Somehow mustard, almonds and paprika ended up on the counter and the rest is history. So transformative I made it again 3 days later.

Dijon almond crusted tilapia Author: Gina Matsoukas Serves: 2 Ingredients Instructions. Lisa's Dinnertime Dish for Great Recipes! – Clarity at the Nail Salon: The Perfect Chicken and Rice Dish. Yesterday while I was at the nail salon, I had an epiphany. For weeks I have been trying to come up with a recipe for a chicken and rice dish, but I was coming up completely dry. I was searching for recipes online and in my cookbooks and magazines, but nothing seemed quite right and I really wanted something that was my own. Why, you ask? I don’t know, sometimes I just get an idea in my head and it then becomes a personal challenge (or obsession), which is exactly what happened here. I really felt that I needed a chicken and rice dish in my repertoire. So who knew you could have such clarity while in a nail salon?

Ever since my kitchen was out of commission for a few months last year I've been particularly interested in easy, no-bake recipes. If the "big one" ever hits and I can't use my oven at least I can make these delicious treats.

Can you tell where my priorities lie...lol? I asked a co-worker for some baking recommendations and they had fond memories of these No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares.

Chicken Pot Pie Crumble - My Favorite Pot Pie. You are looking at a must try comfort food meal. I was never a fan of chicken pot pie until a friend so kindly brought me this dish after I had my baby a few years ago. I'm fully in love with it! Rather then getting a surrounding of heavy pie crust you get a fluffy biscuit topping that will quickly have you loading your plate with a second round. In my opinion the topping is what makes this dish.

And the wonder doesn't just end at the topping. I love how this is your entire meal in one dish. This meal will remind you of what a classic, simple, just plain good meal is intended to be.

I have another lemon pasta recipe on this site, and it’s always been a summertime favorite of mine.

If you haven’t traveled to the land of mixing lemon and pasta, it can seem a little foreign at first. But the fact is, it’s a dreamy and delicious pairing that knocks my socks off every time. I added some grilled chicken to the top of this pasta dish at the end…but the grilled chicken is really secondary. It’s the pasta here—a creamy concoction of lemon, cream, and basil—that deserves top billing. I’d pounded some chicken breasts until they were uniform thickness, then marinated them for about 24 hours in the following concoction: Olive oil Juice of four lemons Dijon A tiny bit of honey A dash of salt Grill ‘em up, set ‘em aside and kept ‘em warm. Boil some pasta. Oh, you didn’t know penne was my life? Penne. This is important: When you drain the pasta (cook until al dente), be sure to reserve a good cup of the hot pasta water. You’ll need another four lemons and a bunch of basil. Ingredients. Kitchen Helpers.
