Date Night and Fish

About a month before I went on maternity leave I told Gage that while I wasn't working I wanted to try cooking some new dishes. I asked for suggestions. The only thing he wanted me to try was fish...ugh! I am not a fish person. So I've been off work now for about 5 weeks and I've tried quite a few things, but I finally decided to give in and go for fish.

Yesterday I bought all the fixings for TILAPIA, one of the less fishy tasting fish. Gage and I pulled into the garage at about the same time, unloaded the groceries, and left the kids asleep in the car. (Don't worry we left the door between the house and the garage open so we could keep an eye on them.) We enjoyed a Date Night preping and grilling Tilapia. We woke the kids up just in time to eat with us.

It was delicious, like I said I don't typically like fish, but this was great! I highly recommend that you try it. I posted the recipe on the side of my blog, It takes a while but is worth the wait.

Lindsay said...: you've become such a good homemaker. Maybe one day I'll have time to try new things. Right now I'm lucky to make ANYTHING for dinner :) Looks good, but I don't know if I dare try fish.; April 25, 2009 at 2:00 PM

My Latest Recipe

CINNAMON ROLLS

THE DOUGH

2 (.25oz) pkgs active dry yeast

2 1/2 cups warm water

1/2 pkg of yellow cake mix (9oz)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

5 cups flour

THE INSIDE GOODNESS

1/2 cup butter (melted)

3/4 cup white sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

THE FROSTING

(or BUY cream cheese frosting)

3 cup confectioner's sugar

1/2 cup butter (softened)

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 Tbsp milk

DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let it stand until creamy (about 10 minutes). Then combine the yeast mixture with the cake mix, salt, and vanilla; stir well. Stir in the flour, beat well. Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Deflate dough and turn it out on a well floured surface. Roll out into a rectangle and spread with melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (combine in bowl before hand to make it easy). Roll up dough (so you have a long tube) and cut into 3/4 inch thick rolls. Place on greased baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 45 min). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes. While rolls are cooling make frosting. Stir all ingredients together in a bowl. After the rolls have cooled a bit, spread with frosting and enjoy!
