blue cheese tilapia

I hate to do this but I have to give my ex credit for this super quick and simple dish…

Well it turns out this is his sister’s meal which he passed on to me and now I enjoy it when I’m hankering for some fish this is what I throw together…

The ingredients….

  • tilapia fillets
  • blue cheese
  • any extra cheese you choose

star of the show

fishy fishy

These were some fillets I’ve had stashed in my freezer for who knows how long but they weren’t freezer burnt and defrosted fine…

Spray your dish down with non-stick cooking spray, pop in the fish and then coat with the dressing…

make sure to cover the fillets well, the dressing with cook down a bit in the oven…

Put into a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes…

and enjoy a glass of this…

I don’t own a wine glass so I old school it and just put it in a regular glass…

left half has gorgonzola cheese on it.

And then eat as is or do like I do and pop it on some buns for a nommy fish sandwich!

lighting sucks, hate my little camera sometimes

the blue cheese dressing keeps the fish so moist and it just flavors everything in a way that can’t be beat…

i’m telling you, you’ll love it…

i don’t even like blue cheese and this is one of my fav fall back dishes when I’m feeling lazy….

Sunday Weigh In – 4

Hi guys….

No lie, I expected that scale to hate me today… I’m pmsing like a maniac and its been showing in my food choices… plus I had a bunch of coffe this week which always leads me to retain water… and though my step count was up according to the fitbit… I still haven’t been doing any structured exercise…

So I stepped on this morning just praying for no weight gain – which, let me just say needs to be a topic of discussion later this week because that is definately the wrong state of mind…

And imagine my disbelief when the scale registered 244 – down 1 lb…

welllllll then…. I re-zeroed the scaled and did it again… same result…

So I will take it…

The goal for this week… get to the gym… and make sure to watch calories because the super bowl is next sunday and well that just will be TROUBLE!

celebrating 95 years

so the bad news is I didn’t get a post up yesterday

The good news is I have blog posts material for the next few days even if I do nothing with my life over the next 48 hrs lol

Yesterday I spent my afternoon with my mom, step dad and this amazing woman

Yesterday my grandmother who I refer to as Maya, turned 95 years old… 95!!!!! she still lives independently and is such an amazing woman that I can’t even begin to say how proud I am to be her granddaughter…

She has taken on cancer and won, she currently battles macular degeneration and is not giving into that either…

I will admit I did not make her a cake, as at 95 I thought she deserved something that would actually be good lol…

So I bought her one from the local grocery store… chocolate cake with whip cream icing…

She had said that all she wanted for this birthday was to have her family with her and to eat cake and ice cream, so that’s exactly what we did… and she couldn’t have been happier…

 did you notice her repping the steelers even at 95??? heck yeah that’s my grandma!

and no help needed with the candles… she had that down good… except she forgot to make a wish and so we had to relight them… lol… hey she’s 95, she’s allowed one goof up ;)

happy birthday maya…. you are one amazing woman…

Nothing fun

Sorry for the lack of a good post today… just not much to talk about…

I forgot to take my morning migraine pill this morning and now my face feels like its going to explode into 15 gagillion tiny pieces…

I’ve been increadibly productive though! I’m applying for summer residencies starting next week and trying to get all my ducks in a row while setting up additional meetings for mock interviews, meetings with execs from the community to pick their brains and lots of other things…

Plus cranking out some work for the boss on our projects…

I found out I’ll be going to Massachuettes in April almost like a send off from my research job here to finally kick off some implementation of the work i’ve been a part of for 3 years… the trip is during finals though yikes…

anywho… I’m looking forward to going to back cracker (my shoulder is back out of place again) and going to home relax… the boy is supposed to be going out tonight and i might get some quiet time… yay…

me and the babies….

yeaaaaah sounds like a great night to me :) seriously… it does :)
