What's For Dinner?: Easy Peasy Salad

Here is a salad dish that is great for a lot of reasons. Some of which are its yummy, healthy and easy!


The ingredients are as follows:
(feel free to substitute or add your your favorite things)
Lettuce
Mushrooms
Garlic
Shrimp
Tomatoes
Red onions
Dried parsley
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Onion powder
Avocado
Bacon


Defrost the shrimp. Cook the bacon (a little crispier than I would normally like) and crush it between 2 paper towels.

Chop up red onion, tomato, add a small portion of each and add garlic, onion powder, parsley, olive oil, salt and pepper and the shrimp into a bowl and mix to marinade while you get the rest ready.


Chop up everything else and get the lettuce washed and broken up.


Grill the shrimp. (We did this on our George Foreman Grill)


While shrimp is grilling toss lettuce with onions, tomato and mushrooms with the lettuce.


Portion out lettuce mix and add the shrimp, avocado and bacon to your plate and add dressing (we used ranch which was really good)


BON APPETIT!

What's Cookin': Creamy Mushroom Tilapia and Rice Pilaf

Tonight's post is a recipe! My guy and I go out to eat way too much so we're trying to cook at home more often. Tonight we made Creamy Mushroom Tilapia and Rice Pilaf 


We cheated on the rice pilaf.. we just bought the box. Easy enough!


Tilapia Ingredients:
(there was no precise measuring but if I were you I'd want me to be specific so I'll guess)
5 frozen tilapia filets
10 oz can of cream of mushroom soup 
3 cloves of garlic- minced
panko bread crumbs 
1 tbsp parsley (dried) 
1 tsp pepper 
1 tsp salt 
1 tsp seasoning salt 
1 tsp onion powder 
1 tsp garlic powder




defrost filets (the package should have directions) and preheat the oven to 375


butter baking dish, dip the filets in bread crumbs (since they are moist the bread crumbs will stick well enough) and put breaded filets in dish. Rub about a clove of garlic onto the filets

mix cream of mushroom soup and a can of water, the rest of the garlic, parsley, pepper, salt, seasoning salt, onion powder, and garlic powder into a bowl (we added corn too because we had 2 cobs left over from dinner Monday night)

pour creamy mix over the filets and place in oven


bake for about 30 minutes


(while the tilapia is baking prepare the rice pilaf)

Then serve! It doesn't look super fancy because we started eating before I took a picture. Typical. It was super good though and (maybe more importantly) super easy! 

* note: you can go easier on the garlic if you want, we just love garlic!
