Honey Lime Tilapia

I didn't burn the house down.....and I didn't set off the smoke alarms. Wooo hoo me! So tonight I tried making Honey Lime Tilapia. It was a pinterest recipe from God knows where. It was pretty good and is a fairly healthy recipe. Here is what mine looks like (nothing like the picture from the website, but I am not that good at frying things. My track record goes something like burnt, burnt, smoking, raw, burnt....so yeah.)

Fish- Tilapia (dur, I bought the buy one get one free kind from Winn Dixie and used 3 filets)

Marinade
Zest and Juice of 1 Lime
1 tbls of Olive Oil
1 1/2 tbls of Honey
1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper
1/4 tsp of garlic powder

So for the marinade, recipe suggests 1 hour (I'm impatient so I did 30 min)

Then dredge in:
1/2c of flour (I'm sneaky, I did half whole wheat and half regular flour and the picky eater couldn't tell the dif)
1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper

Heat about 2 tbls of olive oil in a pan over med to med low heat and fry. This isn't a cooking show so I'm not telling you how to fry it. Plus, I am not entirely sure how to tell when its done, it just has to look golden brown and delicious.

Addition and Alterations:
I added a little more honey just because I like it. Also, a great suggestion from the recipe's origination point was to make the marinade, put the fish in a ziploc bag with the marinade and freeze. Then throw it in the fridge in the morning, and as it defrosts, it will marinade. Pretty freaking sneaky if you ask me.

I would add a picture of mine, but it won't let me. I think you have some idea of what fried fish looks like. So, alas, I will add a picture of someone elses (it's probably more appetizing than mine).

Adventures in Pizza

So, tonight I decided to try pita pizzas....NEW FAVORITE! It is going on my list of easy to make dinners.....literally 10 minutes including prep.

1 pita for each person (I bought the kind that isn't cut in half)
3 tbls of pizza sauce (who doesn't have a lingering jar in the fridge door)
Mozzarella Cheese (no such thing as too much cheese)

Cut the pita in half (to make two pizza "shells"). For mine, once I cut into the pita, it was already split in half, just have to cut around the outside. I suggest putting the pita halves in the oven as its pre-heating to 350 so they can get crusty. Once they have a little toasty-ness to them, pull them out and add the pizza sauce, then the mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is deliciously bubbly and starting to brown.

Additions and Alterations:
I have "pizza seasoning" on the useless spice rack we got for our wedding (never seems to have what you need), so I used that, but oregano and basil (especially fresh) would work well too.
BBQ Chicken (BBQ sauce, chicken, red onions)
Margarita (Olive Oil, garlic, mozzarella)
Spinach and Artichoke (Margarita with spin and artichokes added)

Man I am hungry again!

This is a picture stolen off of Google images (mine was devoured before pictures could be taken :). But it looked the same.

Enjoy!
