Lunch was a tilapia filet, roasted green beans and a few cherry tomatoes for color. I love tilapia because it is a relatively inexpensive flaky fish with a very mild flavor- similar to that of cod or flounder. So, if you're not a huge fish lover, try this one first! While I'm prepping my veggies, I let the tilapia sit in equal parts lemon, lime and orange juices. This citrus flavor really brightens and flavors! Add a little salt and pepper and cook in a skillet with non-stick cooking spray for a few minutes on each side until it is flaky and opaque.
Roasted Green Beans (obsessed ... they are so delicious)
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil.
2. Rinse and cut fresh green beans (1/2 to a full pound) into about an inch to inch and a half (or larger if you like) pieces.
3. Spread the green beans in an even layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle about a half to a full teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil to give the beans an even coating. (You could use spray to cut calories)
4. Sprinkle garlic powder over all of the beans, salt and pepper.
5. Bake for 5-7 minutes and then stir them around.
6. Bake for another 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly brown in places
7. Remove them and add a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan cheese- optional.
It would be equally delicious to roast tomatoes and garlic alongside the green beans!
Tuesday night dinner: FAJITAS!!
Simply cut organic chicken, onion, green bell pepper and red bell pepper into strips.
Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, zest of one lime and juice of that same lime.
Sautee all ingredients until cooked through.
I ate it along side one cup of rice ( Minute Rice in a cup) I would also recommend this on top of shredded lettuce with fresh salsa and guacamole. I did add one tablespoon of fat free sour cream...I just love it!
AMAZING FLAVOR! My new favorite!
