Last night was almost a complete success for my picky family. They loved the fish! Patrick even had three helpings. They loved the brussels sprouts - each had two helpings. But the brown rice? Neither finished it. I thought it was delicious. Here are the recipes I used:
Tilapia:
5 filets (I used frozen)
salt, pepper, parsley, and creole seasoning
3 - 4 T. butter
1 clove garlic, chopped
Spray pan with pam. Put filets in pan and season to your taste. Melt butter in another pan and saute garlic for about 3 minutes. Pour over the seasoned filets. Bake at 400 degrees until fish is white and flakes with a fork. From frozen it took about 20 minutes. If thawed, I would start checking at 10 minutes
Brussels Sprouts:
1 bag frozen brussels sprouts
chicken broth
1 T. butter
salt and pepper
1/2 c. grated cheese (I used pizza mix - all natural of course)
Put sprouts in a pot and cover with chicken broth (you can use water if you prefer). Bring to a boil and cook for about 3 minutes. Drain. Add butter, salt and pepper. Put in serving bowl. sprinkle with grated cheese.
Brown rice - I used a steam in the bag in the
microwave. Then I seasoned them after they were done.
They were perfectly done to my taste. My Picky family
doesn't like most rice!
TONIGHT we are having baked pork chops with broccoli, corn or mashed potatoes, and a salad. We will see tomorrow how that goes.
Mmmmm...it all sounds delicious to me!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharen, it was good. I will keep the top two recipes in my cookbook that I am putting together of food my family will actually eat. Of course I shouldn't complain, they stay skinny and don't have to work at it like I do.
