For those of you that are friends of mine on Facebook, I'll be starting a page just for this blog. I don't want to cloud your newsfeeds with pictures of the food I make. If you are a dedicated reader or just want to support me in this new adventure, please "like" the new page on FB when it's done! Thank you, friends. Now on to the good stuff!

For breakfast I had a fried egg with strawberries. Time: less than 5 minutes total. Ingredients used: 1 egg and 4 strawberries. Directions: put a little cooking spray in a frying pan, so your egg doesn't stick. Crack open 1 egg (or more, depending on how you feel) over medium heat. Once egg is cooked, put on a plate and surround with strawberries. That's it! So simple, yet so delicious!

For dinner I made baked garlic lemon tilapia with wild brown rice. Time: about 15 minutes total. Ingredients used: one 6 ounce piece of tilapia, 2 garlic cloves-chopped, 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, a piece of parsley, 1 lemon slice, salt and pepper (if wanted), and wild brown rice. Directions: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in a sauce pan on low heat. Once your butter is melted, add in the garlic and saute for 1 minute, then add the lemon juice and take off heat. Put some cooking spray in a baking pan. Put the tilapia in the pan and lightly season with salt and pepper (if desired.) Pour the lemon butter sauce over the tilapia. Bake at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes. Once your tilapia is cooked, plate it and add the parsley, lemon slice and the wild brown rice. I used Rice in a Bag, which is really easy to make. All you need to do is heat the rice and it's done. 

Tip: wait until the tilapia is cooked and on the plate to add the lemon butter sauce. It might taste fresher this way.

Until next time, Happy Cooking!
