If there seems to be a lot of chicken and fish recipes on my blog, it's because we eat a lot of chicken and fish. Not that we are against the red meats, because we definitely aren't (exhibit A: LAMB recipes! yummy!)! We have just made a lifestyle choice to eat mainly chicken and fish. Why? Well, for starters, it is cheaper. Costco sells a 6 pack containing 2 chicken breasts a pack for around $20. They are in freezer safe bags already so we get that, and then immediate separate the packs and freeze. And fish, when on sale, can be as cheap. Another reason for our choice of meat cooking, is it is healthier. Less fatty, and lower in cholesterol. We are really trying to eat healthier in our home! And our last reason? We don't own a grill. Since we live in an apartment,grills aren't allowed on property, and we live in a one bedroom apartment, so... if I tried to do some indoor grilling... I would smoke up our whole home!!! So Tommy and I have decided, when we feel low on iron and we crave some red meat, we will go out to dinner and order that. Then it is a special treat!
What lifestyle eating choices are your trying this year? Any worth sharing?
Well, with that said, this is an EASY EASY fish recipe. Literally takes about 15 minutes tops! I found it in a magazine that advertized 5 ingredients or less recipes. Now, I don't think it was the BEST thing in the world, but for a meal, it got the job done, it was flavorful, and man, was making it and cleaning up EASY!
