Giada’s recipe

Standard

Between 10-1 most days, I ‘fish’ around in the freezer looking for something for dinner. I just happen to find a package of tilapia which is a tasty white fish. If you haven’t tried it and aren’t crazy about fishy, fish, this is a good choice. I pulled down a few cookbooks as I am trying to utilize my vast library a bit more and neither Rocco or Martha had tilapia recipes. Then I remembered that Giada (ja-da) DeLaurentiis did in the cookbook that I just received as a Christmas gift. So I’m trying it tonight. It calls for chopped up sardines (Bri happened to have a can-I’m still up in the air about if I really want to use some, maybe a smidgen). The rest of the ingredients are citrusy.

Update-Couldn’t do the anchovies-too weird looking. They were for the sauce. Giada also wanted you to fry the fish. I baked it and poured the sauce over top. I think next time I would reserve some of the sauce for serving. Also had baby carrots and Couscous.

We’re looking to have snow squalls or showers in a few hours. Just when my fellas are headed home. I wanted to go look at vacuums for mom (I’m taking stock in the Bissell company as she seems to blow one out every two years). I also wanted to pop a few items up for sale on eBay as it’s been over a month since I’ve done so. I found a few things in the ‘storage’ that Sean received at gifts that he never opened. I will give him the money toward his loan payment. Seems that he (or us) have to start paying it back before he’s not even out of college. Doesn’t seem fair, but there’s that new twist-just paying on the interest of the loan. Not that it’s new I guess-we are doing the same thing with our H.E.L. (abbrev so appropriate).

Below is our dessert tonight-Raspberry Chocolate Mousse from a package (bought at a store called World Market which is online too).

  1. I’m not a big fish lover so I don’t have it very often. When I was a little girl, I’d love it when my dad would buy a can of sardines and he’d share it with me…now I can’t even stand the smell of them! lol Funny how our tastes change as we grow up! Hugs xox
