Just as I suspected, last night's dinner was not Mike's favorite. He did indicate the peanut sauce was good though. Poor Ania just had her palate expander (orthodontia treatment) put in yesterday and she was having a hard time eating anything. She did eat enough to mention that she really didn't like the peanut sauce. That being said, now I have an additional challenge of trying to feed Ania things that she can eat that won't get stuck behind her appliance. It is going to be very difficult and will require some additional thought on my part. Maybe soup for the next 6 months? Ugh.
Something interesting happened today. I was contacted by 9News to run a story on my 30 Days Without Groceries Challenge. It would be really interesting to see if it makes the news. I briefly spoke with Heidi McGuire who is a regular contributor. She is going to call back this morning to discuss further. Cool.
Today I will make pecan crusted tilapia in lemon sauce. Mike should be okay with the meal, but Ania will be bothered to have to eat fish again. Since it isn't too crunchy, I would expect Ania will be able to eat it just fine. It will be more a function of whether or not I can convince her to do so.
The recipe for this meal is as follows:
PECAN CRUSTED TILAPIA
4 tilapia filets
1/4 cup pecan pieces
3 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs
cooking spray
Mix the pecan pieces (they need to be chopped finely) and bread crumbs together. Lightly spray each tilapia filet with cooking spray. Dredge fish in nut mixture and place on a lightly sprayed baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 10 minutes. Drizzle with lemon juice, if desired.
You can also use other nuts for this recipe including almonds, macadamia nuts, or hazelnuts.
