Recipe: things around the house

Last week I threw together a few meals based on what I had in the fridge and pantry. They were so pleasantly delicious, that I need to share.

The first dish was tilapia filets that I seasoned with salt and pepper and then pan seared. I also cut up some yukon gold potatoes and onions and sauteed those in some olive oil. My new favorite cooking ingredient is crushed red pepper, and I added some to the potatoes to give them a kick. I finished off the meal with a small yellow squash and zuchini sliced and sauteed in olive oil and house seasoning. Yum!

The second dish was iron packed! I peeled brussel sprout leaves to make a salad. In the salad, I added some cut up almonds, a little lemon juice and topped it off with some grated parmesan cheese. Then I pan seared a skirt steak and cut a few slices to put on top of the salad. This was so delicious, that I made the same meal a couple of days later.

Happy cooking!
