Honey lime tilapia. Michael and I talk all the time about how being married and eating together has changed the foods we eat.
For instance, I didn’t eat much in the way of potatoes, hardly ever bought red meat, and had NEVER cooked steak of any kind before we were married. Now, potatoes find their way into our menu once every week or two and one of my favorite meals we’ve discovered together is a sort of steak stir-fry. Michael, on the other hand, never really ever ate fish. Not that he didn’t like fish, he just never really ate it. Now, he really likes tilapia and shrimp (he can’t get enough of our cajun fish sandwiches and shrimp po’boys). Because I love fish so much, and I’m always looking to expand our seafood recipe repertoire, I hunted down this REALLY easy method for cooking tilapia. Now, I know it looks like fried fish. One of the beauties of fish is that it cooks very quickly. I tried an experiment with the recipe, which originally called for marinating the fish about an hour ahead of time.

Struggling to come up with a response, my face would contract and my eyes would twitch. Desperation Dinners – Spicy Peanut Butter Noodles. Au Gratin Potatoes. I was recently looking through my Betty Crocker’s cookbook (my very first cookbook).
I saw a recipe for Au gratin potatoes and it looked and sounded so rich, creamy and delicious. Definitely not healthy but sometimes you have to splurge – you know? I was roasting a chicken for dinner and decided the Au gratin potatoes would be the perfect side dish. This was really easy to make (as long as you have a mandolin slicer to cut the potatoes – or a wonderful neighbor who has the coolest gadgets and lets you borrow them…thank you Cheryl).
