Just Another Day

by mb on 09/02/2010

When I started my blog almost 2 years ago I had so many ideas I wanted to share ~ creative ideas, crafts, recipes, free downloads, decorating, girl talk…somehow I was SURE that I had the time or would make the time… and I have tried {and will continue to do so}, but {I so hate excuses}, working full time, homeschooling, keeping house…ugh argh and grrrrr…. all things I AM SO THANKFUL for…leave little time for much of anything else. Would you believe that for almost all of the last two years I have had every intention of getting a header {like this…. Velvet Strawberries or this…..The Feathered Nest or this……Bake It Pretty or like the other 100 blogs I love} for this little project…every intention I tell you…and yet when I look at it…it is still just pink and wordy…another argh.  I even picked the Thesis Theme just so I could customize the bejeebers out my little blog…ummm….looking around….blowing the dust off the theme… haven’t really done that either.

Just venting and hoping that somehow my urge to create doesn’t just create a volcanic eruption in me {hopefully, if it does my camera will be handy…who wants to see pictures????!!!!}

I’m hoping…fingers crossed really, really, tightly and eyes crossed {it is SO hard to type like this} that I can do a giveaway for my 2nd Anniversary…. check back mid September for details…

sniffly {been sick for 3 weeks} and coughy {the noisy kind…not the Starbuck’s kind} hugs, {wearing a mask of course so I don’t spread germs} mb

Baked Tilapia ~~So Easy

by mb on 08/30/2010

Baked tilapia is such an easy, quick and delicious meal and this is one of my favorite tilapia recipes by far.

Easy Baked Tilapia

8 {4 ounce} tilapia fillets

2 tablespoons butter

seasoning – choose whichever are your favorites~garlic salt, pepper {fresh ground is best} ~ I used Weber Canadian Steak Seasoning

1 lemon, sliced thin

1.  Preheat oven to 400.

2.  Place the fish fillets in a baking dish ~ I like to line mine with aluminum foil to minimize clean up.  Spray pan or foil lined pan with cooking spray.

3.  Sprinkle seasoning on fillets, cut butter into thin slices and pat the tops of the fillets, add lemon slices.

4.  Bake for 25 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork.

I am posting this recipe at Blessed With Grace for Tempt My Tummy Tuesdays this week-be sure to stop over there for lots of great recipes!
