Rustic Packaging

We purchased some handmade items in a Silent Auction that we thought would be cute as wedding gifts for our friends, so I put my Japanese background to use and try my hand at making my own rustic gift wrapping. Okayyy, so the actual wrapping is a brown paper bag and crocheting string. But I think they look pretty cute!!  I feel so green and sustainable right now...

It feels good to create something with my hands. :) And even better that these are gifts!

Original Recipe Yield 8 servings

 

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/8 teaspoon celery salt
• 2 pounds tilapia fillets

Directions

1. Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.
3. Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top side. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over cook the fish.

It is from allrecipes.com.  We just halved the recipe to put over 2 filets of tilapia.  Did not get very crispy (we put the pan on the second rack instead of the top rack) but had the perfect fish texture with 2 minutes per side + 2minutes with the sauce on it.  Served with rice and steamed carrots and peas from an organic New England farm!  YUM

My Husband Is The Best

Konbu dashi stock with soba, asparagus, baby bok choy, crimini mushrooms, mine with an egg on top since I worked 11 hours watching machines run without lunch. I love him :)

New Green Babies!!

I planted some wild flower seeds I got last year from a random work event, and they started sprouting within 3-4 days! They are soooo cute and I love them.

Sushi at Soho Japanese Bistro

In West Chester, Ohio. This stuff had tempura INSIDE and a fantastic sauce.

Soymilk Shout-out!

Mike flew in to meet my parents while I was in Cincinnati for training. In honor of his visit, we made our fridge a little more lactose-intolerant friendly. :) it's tasty and healthy (besides smooth and delicious).

Kitsch part deux

And this is why it's called Grand Finale: Italian pastry filled with vanilla bean ice-cream covered in fudge surrounded by berries. Quality: worth it!
