Baked Tilapia wit Lime slices and dill Sauce




This fish was served with Garlic Cuscous , Sauteed carrots and snow peas with a home made Tartar Sauce. Try this healthy eating. The Fish was baked in the oven. It was seasoned with just salt and placed on a bed of sliced limes. During cooking I based the fish with a blend of anchovies, habernero,olive oil and dill. The Couscous was cooked in a vegetable stock and some roasted garlic. The vegetables is just steamed in a few drops of water. Last but not least home made Tartar sauce. No need to worry about the fat content if you like this sauce because it is made from healthy ingredients such as tofu and others. My children thought it would be also great on a fish sandwich. I think they are on to something!!!!!!!! To finish off this meal I served cake which I will post below

Banana Crumb Muffin


One of my daughter's shared this amazing Banana muffin recipe with me. To reduce the sugar content I used Stevia as the sweetner for the muffin and the topping I used the brown sugar, cinnamon and a small amount of Smart Balance shortening instead of margarine. I used Ener G Egg Replacer instead of eggs to lessen the cholesterol. The Muffins were awesome. Send me a message if you would like this recipe. Check out those nooks and crannies that is indicitive of a well made muffin.
