Dinner Thursday

Menu Ideas for today. . . .

I was planning to make some baked Tilapia this evening for supper, but wanted to try something new.  A quick search revealed lots of options!  I picked the following one to try because it didn't have any added salt, and I have everything already on hand:

To go with it, I was thinking of adjusting the following recipe (from the Gorton's website) to remove the shrimp:

It has pineapple which will make it a little sweet and (hopefully!) get the kids to eat it.

More links. . . .

So after the all the chaos at Thanksgiving (an evening in the ER, followed by an afternoon in the ICU), I never went back to comment on my Thanksgiving recipes.  And now, I don't remember details about how they turned out, or what I could do better.  My Christmas menu was more successful, but then I didn't carefully document what recipes I used.

But that's okay.  I found a lovely little app created by the California Strawberry growers.  It's called 'Strawberries', and not only is it free, it also contains lots of recipes using strawberries (of course).  Each recipe has a photo in addition to the ingredients and steps.  It also has a link to the original recipe.

At this point, I'm not sure what I'll actually use more - the recipes, or the links to the recipe sources.  Every time I find an interesting Strawberry recipe, I check out the source blog and find a dozen or so more recipes that I've got to try.  It's really getting bad.  I'm running out of ways to keep track of them all. Oh, the horror!  The horror!
