Fish Food

Holy Moses.  So much has been going on over here!  I feel like I am just now catching my breath after these last few weeks.  

One of the new things is that Hubs and I are TRYING to eat healthier.  We are pathetic when it comes to healthy eating, because we are so picky about what we eat.  It has been a huge challenge since we got married...almost a year ago!!  

We started simple...replacing spaghetti noodles with spaghetti squash.  It's amazing...try it!  Next, we decided to try fish.  This was a HUGE step for us.  I have NEVER eaten fish before...I don't even like THINKING about fish.  *Shudder*  And Hubs, is VERY particular when it comes to eating fish.  

Now, because this was a first for us, we made a few mistakes.  Mistake #1:  We bought frozen, already seasoned, fish from Target.  I have no idea if frozen fish is ever good, but it is most certainly the wrong place to start if you're a first-timer.  Mistake #2:  We ate it.  We both kind of thought we shouldn't be doing the frozen fish thing, but our lazy selves did it anyway.  Fast forward to us scarfing down Izzo's, while barely touched fish (we each took one bite) sat on plates next to the queso.

Tragedy.  This was honestly no surprise to us.  The biggest surprise to us was that we actually attempted to be "healthy" and eat the fish.  Izzo's wasn't just our back-up plan, it was our reward for trying.  Another tragedy.  Who thinks like this?!

But alas, a breakthrough in the fish eating world!  Hub's good friend, our new "culinary expert", gave us a fool-proof fish recipe.  


Baked Tilapia:
Fresh Tilapia...we got ours from Whole Foods (super cheap).
Citrus Pepper...also from Whole Foods.
Hubs soaked the fish in milk for a little while...no idea if this is necessary, but with our fish history we weren't taking chances!  He then rinsed the fish, sprayed each side with cooking spray, sprinkled Citrus Pepper on both sides and broiled it in a pan for 8 minutes.  


I wish there was a video of how fast I ate dinner that night.  The fish was delicious and we are hooked!  It's probably the easiest thing in history to cook and it's so good.  

Sorry there are no pictures, I literally ate it THAT fast.
