Sometimes I get into one of these moods where I pretend that I'm hosting a cooking show. I do the dialogue, giving tips on how to marinade or how to chop ingredients correctly. I also share trivia about whatever dish I'm cooking. The only thing I don't do is put on an apron because I think they only look good when Gerd is the one wearing them. Yummeh!
Tonight I felt like channeling the cooking sage that is Cooking Mama.
Dinner is served!
Ladies and gentlemen, I present Anne's Cajun Tilapia Fillet. Only took me 15 minutes to cook it which is great since I'm always hungry by the time I get home and there's always nothing to eat since I'm the master chef at home. The photo doesn't do justice to how vibrant the colors of this dish are. *shakes head* I swear I'm gonna get me a Nikon D90.
I marinated the tilapia fillets in Cajun sauce then pan-seared them. I'm very careful in cooking fish because it can overcook easily and I want my fish to be really juicy, as you can see in the pic. Also, overcooking makes the meat tough, which is a no-no. You can do several variations of this dish. You can broil, bake or grill the fish if you'd like. But as I said, I was in a hurry so I just pan-seared it.
When it was done, I plated it and drizzled olive oil on it. Oh, and please don't say E-V-O-O. I get so annoyed listening to Rachel Ray. I think she's OA. I like her recipes but I don't like her. Whatever. So add a little olive oil, steamed veggies and my super secret Cajun sauce and you're done! You can add mashed potatoes, mushrooms or whatever sides you want. I'm trying to eat healthier so no rice or potatoes for me. Boohoo.
Another reason why I'm trying to eat healthy is because of what happened last night. See, I bought these yummy mini eclairs. You know, the ones with the cream filling? They were really good and I thought it would be a fantastic idea if I took a picture of them and shared it with you. So I bite into one and take a photo. Only, it came out blurred. So I take another one and bite into it. This time I adjusted the setting of the camera and took a pic but I didn't like how it came out unappetizing so I took another eclair and bit into it. You can see where this is going. Long story short, I finished all the eclairs without getting a decent pic. So sad. But if I had a Nikon D90 I could have just eaten one freaking eclair and gotten an awesome picture! Somebody please give me a D90!
In other news, I can't help but count down the days til April. I'm getting so excited just thinking about it! And a little nervous too. Can't wait!
