Ok, I know I’m a day behind..but, Gossip Girl! Oh MY God!!! Sooo good!!! 🙂 I totally saw that coming, but was still jumping up and down on my couch when it did!
Now that I got that out of my system I can continue with my post as normal. As I had promised my dinner tonight was very interesting and very delicious! This was one of those ideas that kept evolving in my head all day. I started knowing I wanted to have fish for dinner, then I was thinking what I had in my fridge that could go with it and kept adding from there. The finished product was amazing!
I present Spinach Ricotta Tilapia
I sauteed some onion and garlic, added fresh spinach until it was wilted, then mixed in part skim ricotta to create the topping. I then seasoned the tilapia with garlic salt and pepper and put it in the oven at 420 degrees for 5 minutes. I removed the fish added the topping, then baked for 5 more minutes. It was wonderful! Sometimes evolving recipes are the best way to go.
On the side I had some Butternut Fries and toast with a little bit of smart balance.
Dessert was calling my name from the freezer tonight.
I had some Peanut Butter Cup Frozen Yogurt with Brown Puffed Rice.
Before I left work today I had a Pumpkin Spice Kashi bar.
I’m so glad its pumpkin season!
In other news….
As I was reading my blog statistics today I realized there are a whole bunch of readers out there that I do not know anything about. So I have decided to set up a challenge to get to know everyone and maybe have some closet readers come out of the wood work. I promise you just have to comment this once and then you can go back to your regular reading! Let’s start by seeing where everyone is from? Just comment with your city or state. It will be fun to see how we all cover different parts of the country/ world. So that is my challenge, come on readers, don’t be shy! 🙂
I look forward to hearing all of your response!!
