Healthy Dinner - Baked Tilapia

Today is going to be an easy fish dinner. My choice is Tilapia, which takes a few minutes to prepare, uses few ingredients, and is flavorful. It is so easy that you do not have to even thaw the fish. Enjoy this meal with salad and fresh French bread. Tilapia is a healthy choice for a low carb diet.

Baked Fish Tilapia with cheese.

1 lb. frozen haddock fillets (Do not thaw.)

2 Tbsp. Zesty Italian Dressing

1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Heat oven to 450°F. Place fish in 13x9-inch baking dish; drizzle with dressing.

Bake 25 min.; top with mushrooms and cheese. Bake 5 min. or until cheese is melted and fish flakes easily with fork.

Top off with parsley.

Serve with a nice tomato salad.

Dinner with an Asian influence

Today I feel like dinner with an Asian influence. My crab rangoons and stir fried beef and vegetables are the perfect and easy. For the stir fry, my son loves Broccoli so this is great. If you are not a fan of broccoli then shredded carrots, green beans or bell peppers and onions make great substitute. Remember not to cook the beef too long as the flank steak tends to get tough and chewy. Enjoy!

Crab Rangoon

1 pkg. of wonton wrappers.

¼ cup cream cheese

¼ cup crab meat drained and flaked

Mix crab meat, cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic paste in a bowl. Place a small amount on the center of the wonton wrapper fold over into a triangle, and seal the edges with egg white.
